This restored typical village house with ornamental ironwork and traditionally tiled floors is sited in its own small colourful garden just below the Moorish castle and a little above the charming restaurant El Anon which offers international cuisine.
The open-plan ground floor consists of a sitting room with open fire, dining room, and kitchen opening onto a breakfast room with splendid views. Upstairs are two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with a bath, one with a shower). The double bedroom opening onto a terrace has magnificent views over the mountains of Ronda. The twin bedroom opening onto a balcony looks straight at the castle keep and over the countryside to the rock of Gibraltar. We have now also added a pool (6+ x3 metres x 1.50 deep), perfect for relaxing in the evening and taking in the spectacular views.
Once a frontier village between the Moors and Christians, Jimena is set in the beautiful foothills of the Serrania de Ronda. It is built on a hill crowned by a romantic Romano-Moorish castle. The surrounding magnificent countryside, largely falling within the Parque Natural de los Alcornocales, is ideal for bird watching, walking, horse riding, painting and photography. There is excellent swimming in the river pools (rated the cleanest river in Spain), attractive pools in the village and the sea is but thirty minutes drive away.
Jimena is an excellent centre to explore this beautiful area. Visits to the ancient historic town of Ronda, the ruined Roman city of Baelo Claudia in its lovely bay (with several good fish bars) and the famous palaeolithic paintings of the Cueva de la Pileta are musts among a plethora of interesting places.
