Gemita
Gemita is one of those rare luxuriously appointed
holiday finds that we always dream of. It nestles into the hillside
of the Grazalema Natural Park. To the north are the mountains of
the Grazalema Sierras. To the south are rolling hills and the beautiful
historic town of Ronda. There are sheep and goats grazing close by
and you will often come across their shepherd taking them home for
milking.
The house is very private, fully enclosed, and not over looked in
anyway but is still only a short distance from the main road to Sevilla
and only ten minutes drive to Ronda.
Ronda lies perched upon a colossal rock with the sheer walls of
the Tajo gorge dropping almost 200 metres down to the Guadalevin
River and the lush valley below encircled by mountains. The sight
is breathtaking, so beautiful, to the point of being unreal.
It is one of the most remarkable places in Andalucia. Pre-historic
man lived amongst these hills, then the Greeks followed by the Romans.
The Moors occupied Ronda for more than 700 years. Their mark is left
on the beautiful architecture of the old quarter.
The garden is of neat proportions with shrubs and trees. There is
a large terrace with shade from the old fig tree and many potted
plants. The swimming pool is enclosed by attractive ironwork. The
terrace provides plenty of room for outside living and barbeques.
The interior of Gemita is pleasing to the eye with furniture made
locally in the area (mainly pine) and touches of English soft furnishings.
The sitting room and dining areas are open-plan thus creating a feeling
of spaciousness and light. Comfy seating with an open log fireplace
adds to the high level of comfort.
The kitchen area has all of the equipment of a modern home. Both
bedrooms are well furnished to a high standard. One room has a double
bed and the other two singles. The bathroom is fully tiled with marble
embellishments, comprising shower, vanity basin and W.C.
Gemita has recently been fully renovated.Once part of a very large
estate, which mainly grew sunflowers as a crop, and fields of these
can still be seen, in season, in the surrounding area.
Gemita is truly a delightful holiday retreat, which can comfortably
accommodate 4 people. It has full central heating, which makes life
more comfortable for those taking winter holidays.
For the comfort and safety of all, we request that guests do not
smoke inside the property.
Linen, towels (but not swimming towels) and a weekly cleaning service
are provided.
