Private country cottage with panoramic views to Atlantic 6Km - Cottage Rental Listing Details

The six-acre Finca is 190 meters above sea level, which is approached by a meandering road that winds up the slow incline of the hill. Once on the ridge, you are rewarded with spectacular views, East is Vejer, South is Africa and West is El Palmar and the Atlantic Ocean.

From October to June the local countryside is a mass of green and rich with crops, whereas other months, when there is little or no rain, the fields become brown, but, the large forest areas prevent the views from looking barren. It is an ideal location for exploring the many beautiful, sandy beaches, natural parks, the splattering of Moorish towns and the cities of western Andalusia as well as sampling the delights of the local tapas, wines and fine Sherries.

Typical Client Feedback

We had a fantastic time at Finca Higueron. It normally takes me at least a week to wind down, but here I was relaxed instantly. The welcome is warm, the accommodation spotless and fully appointed. The surrounding area is un-spoilt and ripe for exploration. Beaches and local restaurants are truly excellent. You never tire of the views from Finca Higueron and watching the sunset whilst sipping a glass of wine is one of life's real pleasure

After years of holidaying we have finally found paradise. This place has it all and you can do as much or as little as you please The views from the beautiful cottages are absolutely breathtaking and go a long way to help you relax and unwind. You can sit on the patio in the evening and see some spectacular sunsets, it is such a romantic place. But there is also lots to do just ask Tad and Val who are very special hosts and have expert local knowledge and I'm sure like us you will have a perfect holiday.

We wish to thank you for helping to make our holiday most pleasurable. Not only was the cottage the best self catering accommodation we have ever experienced, the whole package you offer is 2nd to none.
The 'personal touch' made our anniversary unforgettable. The afternoon at Montenmedio and then the evening at Vento Rufino were highlights, but just being at Finca Higueron 'did it for us!'

Finca Higueron is 3KM from the center of La Muela, where there is a very popular, inexpensive Italian restaurant and Venta Rufino’s provides excellent, low priced food in a local friendly atmosphere.

In season fresh homegrown vegetables are available to our guests, who wish to ‘eat in’. There is also a broad selection of videos and DVD’s available for in house entertainment; in addition we operate a very popular book swap service. The large garden area is quiet and surrounded by common land that can be explored.

As the Finca is on the flight path for birds migrating from Donona Park and Africa, it is ideal for bird watching. There are many different walks nearby and we have mountain bikes, with safety helmets for those who like to explore. For golfers we have full sets of clubs and golf trolleys for hire.

There is something to do for everyone in the Costa de la Luz. You can go to a different, sandy beach every day of you holiday.
