Dining, lounges, patios and pool. The dining room (above) is the former "almazara" with its granite cones once driven by a donkey for the crushing of the olives. It provides an unique rustic atmosphere for abundant breakfasts and relaxing dinners with the local wines and liquors. |

Above, one of the lounges of the Finca gives access to the wine bodega with its 14 uniquely well-preserved 700 litre clay casks. Century-old hooks can still be seen in the vaulted ceilings, from which hams were cured for 18 months at a constant temperature. |

The Finca's newest lounge, with comfy sofas and sunny arches to relax in.

The lounges accessed from the patio of Sta Teresa.  |

And, just outside... The patio with orange trees and a profusion of jasmine and roses gives entrance to the century-old chapel where masses are occasionally celebrated. Swooping swallows tend their nests under the vaulted arches. Above the chapel, the bell tower is home to an impressive nest where storks feed their young and their distinctive clapping beaks can be heard from the nearby garden. |

Or, cool off... There is a large swimming pool in an extensive garden set in the hilly landscape, with views on the olive-dotted hills, beyond the cherry and almond orchards. Click here
