Farm Stay in Andalucia


La Balsa is located at an altitude of 1200 meters in a beautiful hiking area at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Here you can still enjoy peace and absolute silence and clean air in a beautiful mountain landscape far away from mass tourism. The farm is within walking distance of two authentic Spanish villages where there is a large public swimming pool, a supermarket and several bars and restaurants . You can walk, cycle or horse ride straight into the Sierra Nevada from our farm and with our walking booklet you can take the most beautiful walks.

On the ground floor we have a spacious apartment of 40 m², consisting of a bedroom with double bed, a living room with open kitchen and extra (sofa) bed for one person and a bathroom with toilet and shower. For heating there is a wood stove and butane gas stove. Since the Balsa is located at an altitude of 1250 meters, the nights are generally cool and therefore we do not have air conditioning.

Rooms
On the first floor there are 5 rooms , two of which are en suite, all with their own entrance and terrace. These can accommodate between 13 and 16 guests. The three large rooms have a sink with hot and cold water. The showers and toilets for all rooms are located on the ground floor and are accessible via an external staircase . The rooms include linen and the use of the large, fully equipped shared (living) kitchen on the ground floor .

Kitchen and cinema room
In front of this communal kitchen there is a spacious terrace (100m2) with a large barbecue and a view of our olive grove and the peaks of the Sierra Nevada. In addition to the normal kitchen equipment, the kitchen/diner has a wood-burning stove, a seating area and a sound system. There is plenty of space available both inside and outside for cultural and creative activities . The cinema room, measuring 8 by 10 meters and 5 meters high, has a sound system, a projector and a large projection screen. Films are regularly shown here in the summer.

To eat
There are a few restaurants nearby and tapas are still free in our province. Until 11 p.m. you will be served a tapa with every alcoholic drink, except between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. because this is the Spanish meal time. A few drinks can easily replace your dinner.

In 2005 we started the conversion of a goat barn into our holiday farm La Balsa in Andalusia. Now we live here most of the year with our sweet dog, cats and chickens. It is located in a beautiful walking area, but you can also cycle well in the area. We also have 4 mountain bikes for rent. If you like peace and quiet in an authentic Spanish environment, then you have come to the right place.
Everybody is welcome.
