High standard villa with stunning views away from the crowds

Just minutes from Iznajar Village, bars, restaurants and lake side beach - Peaceful location, great walks, 10 minutes drive from the lake and beach

Hilltop Hideaway Iznajar sits in its own 5 acre olive grove, secluded but not isolated. The views are stunning from all around the house. Local bars, restaurants and shops and the fabulous lake of Iznajar are just a few minutes away. At the lakeside there is a huge beach where you can swim and hire pedaloes, canoes sunbeds and parasols. The landscape in this area is nothing short of spectacular. Rolling hills for mile after mile are covered with olive groves and Mediterranean oak. The pace of life is slow and gentle, perfect for a relaxing holiday away from the crowd. The Villa is fully registered and licensed as a Casa Rural Superior, offering an unrivalled standard of accommodation all year around. The house, Hilltop Hideaway Iznajar, has won Trip Advisors Travellers Choice Award.

LOCATION
The location of the property is also perfect for daytrips to the most famous historic gems of Europe. Cordoba with its Mesquita, Granada and the Alhambra Palace and Seville are each just an hour away. Alternatively discover the seaside and spend a day at one of the beaches of Costa del Sol or visit Malaga.
To get to the house you drive through olive groves on a tarmac road, there is plenty of room for parking.

VILLA
Entering through the main front door you will come into living room, which is a large 860 ft2 open plan area, the dining table seats 12. The living area has a large glass-fronted woodburner, (wood is included in the house rental) flat screen TV, two sofas and a coffee table. Another two-seater sofa and two wooden armchairs are arranged alongside the opposite book-lined wall to form a cosy reading corner. There is a huge selection of books and DVD's. The TV also has a media player with films, TV box sets etc. There is underfloor heating throughout for winter rentals. To the left of the living area is a small and colourful cloakroom with a wc and hand basin. The pirate-themed decor will delight youngsters.
From the living room there is a door to an interior Spanish style patio courtyard with a pretty water feature in the middle. The large bedrooms, 178 ft2 each, lead off this courtyard and have views of the courtyard and the olive groves. The windows are double glazed and can be opened two ways: open and tilted. Every bedroom has a ceiling fan and the screened windows can be kept open for the cool breeze at night. Each bedroom has built in wardrobes, a desk, chair, hairdryer and a TV/DVD player.
The en suite bathrooms (for each bedroom) are huge wet rooms with showers, wc, hand basin, well-lit mirrors and non-slip floors. Each bathroom is absolutely gleaming and pristine. All bathroom towels are included.
Also leading off the main living room is the large kitchen, a perfect meeting place, especially with a glass of wine whilst dinner is cooking. There are twin sinks, four-ring range cooker with oven as well as another electric oven, fridge-freezer, additional fridge and dishwasher. As you would expect, there's a traditional coffee machine, kettle, toaster and cutlery along with all the utensils you could need. The kitchen meets the living room in the form of a granite counter-bar, ideal for laying out buffet style meals or a selection of drinks and tapas.
A separate entrance, from the ground floor of the villa, leads to the staircase of the apartment. Hence this part can be totally separate from the ground floor. The apartment sleeps 4 persons. It contains one double bedroom (173 ft2) with ensuite bathroom with shower, one twin bedroom (150 ft2) with bathroom with bathtub.

In the cooler months we have an outdoor log burner and snuggle blankets. The terrace has lots of lovely plants and spectacular views of the surrounding olive covered hills. A Moroccan-style seating area has cushions for taking tea in comfort while enjoying the views. It is also a great place for an afternoon read. The house is very large and has lot of outdoor room.
The swimming pool is in the shape of a guitar. The shallow end is very shallow so is perfect for little ones (or big ones!) just to splash around in. The pool has an electronic pool hoist and is night lit. Pool towels are provided. Water for the swimming pool comes directly from the spring fed well on the land.
The 'beach' area around the pool has a shaded section with sunbeds and offers spectacular views. There is also a pool hoist for guests who need assistance getting into and out of the water.

Beautiful views
We had a wonderful stay at Hilltop Hideaway, the location is very peaceful and private, although there are shops and restaurants about 15 minutes drive away. The villa was really well equipped, particularly for my father, who is in a wheelchair. He could access everywhere in the main section of the villa, and the swimming pool area. The whole place was clean and tidy and the owners and managers extremely friendly and helpful. There is plenty to do in the area, the lake is beautiful, the children had a great time there, and there are lots of nice restaurants and cafes. But to be honest most of the time we were happy just chilling out by the pool! We have had a wonderful time and will always cherish the memories of this holiday!

Perfect if you want to get away from the crowds, yet want easy access to Malaga, Cordoba or Granada
….what a fabulous place. After a week of stay we were going to move on, but felt that staying put and taking in the peace and tranquility of Hilltop Hideaway was a better option, so stayed for another week! Listening to the Nightingale in the evening, the beautiful birdsongs in the morning, wonderful views and to be made to feel so welcome, a few days doing some local touring, (not being far from Cordoba and Granada) was all we needed

1week verbleven met groep van 12 personen
Prima verblijf. Heel mooi uitzicht op de olijfboomgaarden. Heel rustig. Prachtig huis met goede bedden. Buitenverblijf voorzien van prettige stoelen en ligbedden. Zwembad ondiep om lekker te zwemmen. Afstand naar het meer is verder dan beschreven, moet je met auto doen. Naar Sevilla is ruim 2 uur rijden. Malaga en Cordoba ruim 1 uur rijden. Hele fijne tijd gehad

Superbe semaine !
Mon groupe d’amis et moi même avons passés une superbe semaine. Un environnement idéal pour se ressourcer, au milieu des oliviers ainsi au bord de la piscine, avec un temps magnifique. La villa est super bien équipée, propre, et idéale pour passer des vacances en toute tranquillité. Je recommande +++. Merci pour tout, merci aux propriétaires ainsi qu’à Ramona pour tout. À bientôt !

Magnifique séjour
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine en famille dans cette magnifique maison, perdue au milieu d'un océan de collines et d'oliviers. Calme absolu, vue exceptionnelle, région superbe, ce séjour a été très dépaysant. La maison est très confortable et parfaitement équipée, avec 2 immenses terrasses ouvertes sur la campagne alentour. Merci à Balazs et Amanda pour l'accompagnement et les conseils.

Super villa!
Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette superbe villa, perdue au milieu des oliviers. La maison est très belle et très confortable. Une grande terrasse ombragée permet de manger matin midi et soir en extérieur. La vue est spectaculaire! Balazs, le propriétaire et Claire, la manager, se sont montrés très gentils et très disponibles! La situatuon est idéale à moins d’une heure de Cordoue et de Grenade. Un lac et de très jolis villages à proximité nous ont rendu le séjour très agréable! J’y retournerais volontiers!
