COUNTRYSIDE HOLIDAY RENTALS
Andalucia has some of Europe´s most striking natural landscapes. Renting a countryside property is the best way of exploring the mountains, natural parks and rivers which divide this huge area of Spain. Countryside homes are rustic, authentically Spanish, and have uninterrupted views of the surrounding lands. Many visitors are seeking rural escapes, so the properties on this page are completely isolated, a short drive even from the nearest villages. However, they are all within a 1.5hr drive of one of Andalucia´s cities, making access easy. Of course, anyone seeking this kind of property will need to rent a car to explore the area independently, visit charming rural villages or get involved in any sporting activities. Some of the below properties are small retreats for two, but most are extensive houses appropriate for large groups and families.
