It’s basically a big square with an open “quad” in the center. Each of the four sides of the building is a separate apartment. We’re in one (Tom and Carlos’ place) and each of the other three are the units that are rented out during high season. It’s now the quiet time of year so we have the whole place to ourselves. The quad is incredibly nice to live with, it keeps the wind off of you (most of the time) but it allows you to be outside with full sun and complete privacy. (The white glare in the upper part of the photo is the Mediterranean). On the far side of the house, away from the afternoon sun, there is an enclosed terrace with views of the sea.
This is the lovely pool. It’s a bit too chilly to swim but it’s out of the breeze. I can see sun bathing on our future.
The views behind the house are of the surrounding mountains and neighbors. Of the two neighboring houses in this photo, the doomed roof on the left is an actual observatory with a roof that opens and pivots so the working telescope can follow the stars. The yellowish building on the right is the original farm house for the area. It is still a functioning home for weekenders from Madrid.
OMG! Could this place be any more picturesque? What a gorgeous place to stay.
