Historic and exclusive Andalusian farmhouse built in 1600 and completely refurbished in 2019 with a very special charm combining rustic Andalusian style with modern and avant-garde airs. It is called "Las Piletas" because it has original pools from the Roman period that can hold up to 65,000 litres of water from a natural spring.
The "cortijo" sits on 20.000m2 of land with 250 olive trees that generate a harvest of more than 5.000kg of olives every season. The enclosed plot with walled courtyards, garden areas, private swimming pool, porches and main house is 2.300m2.

Entrance through a beautiful path surrounded by olive trees and extensive sunflower fields to the parking area, through a solid wooden door where you can access a large patio on two levels surrounded by walls of more than 4 meters. The first level of the courtyard is surrounded by vegetation, green areas, fruit trees that provide shade to areas perfect for resting and enjoying nature. As it is isolated from the urban centre, at nightfall a blanket of stars envelops the property, creating a romantic and bucolic atmosphere. On the second level there is a large private swimming pool of 16.5x3.5 with spaces for sunbeds and covered porches, ideal as an outdoor dining area.
