Description

Arcos stands dramatically on the top of the hill overlooking the wonderful Andalucian countryside and out over the lake towards the Sierra de Grazalema. It has a large selection of shops, restaurants and bars and all amenities are closeby. A short 30 minute journey takes you to the coast.

Casa Bouganvilla has been wonderfully cared for and renovated by its current owners to create a typically Andalucian style home. Many of the original features have been protected and preserved such as the beamed ceilings, tiles, wooden framed windows and doors and ornate arches. The house was completely re-wired and re-plumbed to a high standard.

The accommodation is arranged on 4 floors and a brief description is as follows:

Entrance into cool covered porch with beamed ceilings and doors either side to:

Dining room extending into the study, both with beamed ceilings and pretty wooden framed windows with views to the river.
2nd sitting room/library or workroom with river views.

The porch extends into the lovely central courtyard with cobbled designed floor, original well kept as a nice design feature and access to a large store room currently used as a utility area with plumbing for domestic appliances.

The main door leads into a pretty sitting room which extends into the country style kitchen with solid wood units, gas range with an additional electric hob, extractor, double corner sink and space for a fridge/freezer. An open doorway leads into the wonderful pantry with the original manger restored and lovely cool arched alcoves, perfect for a wine store.

Ornately decorated tiled stairs lead from the central courtyard to all floors and the remaining accommodation.

On the first floor you will find the relaxing lounge with beamed ceilings, double french doors which open inwards with safety rails offering fabulous views out over the river towards the lake and surrounding countryside. There are 2 double bedrooms connected by an archway, one also with wooden framed french windows and wonderful views. There is also a family shower room with bidet, basin and WC.

On the second floor, a lovely open walkway with pretty stone arches leads to two good sized double bedrooms, a connecting sitting room or dressing area and a family bathroom with bath, separate shower, bidet, basin and WC. There is also a useful store room on this floor.

Finally, the 3rd floor is dedicated to outdoor living with an extensive roof terrace where you can sit and enjoy the most stunning views across the river towards the lake and the old architecture of Arcos itself. There is a covered terrace and dining area ideal to find a little shade from the hot Spanish summer sunshine.

About the area: Arcos de la Frontera

Arcos de la Frontera is one of the largest inland hilltop white towns (Pueblos Blancos) in the Province of Cadiz. It stands proud perched on the edge of huge sand stone cliffs and its history dates right back to Neolithic times when man lived in caves. As with many of these pretty villages, Arcos evidences much unrest in its history, changing hands through the centuries including the Arabs, Romans and the Moors. This has resulted in a beautiful tapestry of cultures woven into the very fabric of its cool, character filled narrow streets and many historic buildings in and around the old city walls.

Arcos de la Frontera is most famous for its imposing Gothic Cathedral, built by Alfonso the Wise back in the late 13th century to mark his victory over the Moors and the restoration of the Christian faith within the town.

Today you will find a busy, thriving town full of shops, great restaurants and bars knitting together the old with the new. The picturesque Arcos Lake is at the foot of the town and attracts many cyclists wanting to enjoy a gentle ride around its perimeter and observe the wonderful flowers, trees and multitude of wildlife found on and around its banks. Arcos is approximately 40 minutes from the coast and its award winning beaches stretching from the City of Cadiz all the way to Gibraltar. Further inland there are the wild and wonderful nature reserves with their character cork trees and rustic shrub land great for walking amongst the wildlife.

Whether you are looking for a permanant residence or holiday destination Arcos de la Frontera has plenty to offer as a quality inland destination.
