more details of the property: The property is approached by a tarmac country lane. There is rarely passing traffic. The garden is private and self contained. The open 'naya' a typical feature of the Jalon valley where they used to spread the grapes to dry, offers a covered terrace for eating and relaxing. The poolside patio has loungers for relaxing. Upper and lower terraces in the garden offer additional lovely spots to soak up sun, BBQ or enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the mountains. The front of the villa, as it overlooks the river, is a natural wildlife habitat, hence the name Rincon de las Aves roughly translated 'the Bird Haven'.

Suart & Elaine - Cardiff - Oct 2010 We have just returned from our fifth visit to the property. The weather in late October was superb. The facilites and general accommodation are excellent - in fact, they improve with each visit! The location, on the outskirts of Alkalali means you have total privacy while being a short walk from the village and its excellent restaurants etc. In short, a great place to stay.

Terry B - Hertfordshire - 2008 We spent a delightful fortnight with friends at the Rincon de las Aves in October. The property is situated in a lovely quiet spot along the banks of a river bed, surrounded by trees, with mountains in the background. A short pleasant walk through the outskirts of Alcalali brings you to the centre of the village where there are several shops, cafes and a choice of local restaurants, ideal for you to enjoy a morning coffee, an afternoon tea or a delicious evening meal.The Spanish style house is well appointed, having all home comforts and a garden with a first-rate swimming pool where you can barbeque and completely relax. Everything is provided to make your stay a really memorable experience.
