Come and stay in our 16th century house in Osuna, in the heart of Andalucia
Description: This is a 16th-century house made of the local tufa, a yellow, sandy stone (though the walls are rough plastered as the stone is very crumbly). It was probably originally a small house at the front with a large arched granary attached and land for small livestock in the rear. Last century it would have been occupied by three to four or more families, each with their own room and kitchen but for the last fifty years it has been a family house in the Andalucian style - massively thick walls to keep the heat out, all-white, terracotta floors. Downstairs there is a large comfortable living room and a large kitchen/eating area. There is a TV, video and DVD (no Sky, I'm afraid), music centre. Both rooms give out onto the large, open, tiled courtyard (which has a huge blind that can be drawn over the entire roof - vital in Summer!). Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, three with double beds and one with twins plus two bathrooms (actually one has a shower rather than a bath). Outside there is a garden - about 200 sq m - with a tiled patio and a full-sized football table. The garden is coming on ? the last owner used to grow asparagus, but our fruit trees and vine are slowly growing ....

Area information:
The house is in a friendly medieval town called Osuna which is charming on its own account but also convenient for the major Andalucian sites - Seville, Granada, Ronda and Cordoba as well as less well known ones, Antequera, Ecija, Carmona and lots of others. Osuna retains its sixteenth century aspect, just walking through its streets is a pleasure. It is dominated by the Colegiata on the hill alongside the Monasterio and the Universidad Viejo but it is full of restaurants and bars as well. Lots of churches to see, if that attracts, plus Roman and pre-Roman ruins (including a necropolis) on the heights above the town by the old tufa quarries. There's a sometimes active bull-ring, markets and lots of friendly Andalucians (you won't hear any English voices except your own).
