Accommodation in Lanjaron |
As its name suggests, this holiday villa has the most wonderful views over the mountains and the village of Lanjaron, standing on the large patio you can see the sea to the south and the coast of Morocco on clear days. Is a studio villa which was originally built as part of the main house on the property. It is cozily tucked away via a path going under orange trees onto its own secluded shady patio. In the Autumn you may wake to a rolling mist coming in from the Costa Tropical looking as though a tidal wave is moving in, sometimes it tucks into the valley, the village disappearing leaving La Casa del Viento looking down onto a lake of cloud and a view of mountain tops on the opposite side. Yet another day will be crisp and clear and there looking like
it is no distance at all is the sea and a boat and if you are lucky the
coast of Morocco, or at least the mountain tops of Morocco. In the evenings sitting on the patio the sunsets, especially of the winter months can be spectacular, sometimes I really believe the sky is on fire. Later the stars, an astronomers joy I can image (this I am not) but I do get very excited if I see a shooting star or a comet. |
Is like a cave cottage… its only window is high above the bed, which is at ground level, its lovely and dark in there so great for getting a good nights sleep! Also it keeps it nice and cool for the summer nights and cozy for the winter. Is the newest addition, converted from an outbuilding it has been rebuilt with the same rustic style in mind, with pine beams, doors and windows. Local arts and crafts have been also been added to this villa. Spring:- The almond blossom, pink and white very quickly becoming the first tree to gain its green leaves and the almonds forming early. Spring bulbs (not common in Spain) line the paths at La Casa del Viento and later a huge amount of blue, purple and yellow Iris, then the fantastic orange flower of the Aloe and the yellow broom. Summer:- The clear blue water
of the pool, with a shady gazebo covered in the deep green of the grape
vine, a mass of grapes in the making. An inviting cool drink from the
bar, (rustic in style, not manned, it’s an honesty bar!) covered by a
huge olive tree and a rambling kiwi vine. A barbeque being set up, a
weekly event or sometimes a paella night or a tapas night. Autumn:-
The changing colour of the leaves, bouganbelia still blooming bright
and pink, the first cool evenings, lighting of the log fires, roasting
chestnuts, sunsets. Winter:- Olive picking time, bright green nets
spread under the trees to catch the shiny black olive, all the citrus
now bright on the trees, lemons, grapefruit and oranges sweet and
juicy. The mountain tops alight with white snow but not here in
Lanjaron, well perhaps we will wake one morning to a lay of crisp white
snow, build a snowman quick because it will be gone by lunchtime. Days
beginning to draw out and Spring in the air. |
