YOUR STAY: FACILITIES, FOOD, ROOMS and GARDEN

Your stay at H5L not only includes your room and breakfast, but also the use of the sitting room, the kitchen (where you can cook your own food as and when you wish) and, obviously, our garden, which is the best room we have!!!

At H5L we offer more than a standard B&B. Our aim is to provide you with a perfect stay, so you can be yourself. Please feel at home. Our accommodation is meant to be your second home in Andalucía so please do enjoy the house and the farm.

Everyone is welcome: from 1 day to 101 years old whether you are individual, a couple, a group of friends or a family.

We really welcome families as we think this is a fantastic place for children. We can provide facilities for young children such as a cot and highchair. Children will find our river area the most fantastic natural playground, they can run around freely, and even play with our sheep, cats or chickens.

H5L is to use inside and to enjoy outside.

Inside

With only 3 bedrooms it is a place where you can expect a warm and personal welcome. All rooms have heaters, shuttered windows and are fully equipped with chairs, bedside tables and built-in wardrobes.

(For more info about our bedrooms, please click on BOOKINGS & PRICES, thank you)

Everything in the kitchen is at your disposal: four-ring gas cooker, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and all the usual appliances.

The sitting room has a dining table with locally crafted chairs and sofa. There is also a CD player and a good selection of CDs, tourist guides, walking route leaflets, city and walking maps, games, board games and books, all at your disposal.

For breakfast you simply help yourself at any time you want. We provide you with milk, coffee, different teas, toast, cereals, fruits, cheese, butter, olive oil, homemade jams and marmelades. We also provide oranges, tomatoes and free-range eggs as seasonal available.

Optional dinners are served with your hosts and other guests who wish to join us. You can choose from a variety of different Spanish menus available at the farm. We make every attempt to use seasonal, home-grown organic vegetables and local organic produce in our cooking. All dinners include startes, main course, dessert, bread, wine and coffee or tea. The price is €20/adult.

The house is a typical Andalusian style farmhouse, more than 100 years old. It has been restored sensitively, while preserving its original features. It provides comfortable accommodation without the loss of its rustic charm: we have preserved the beams, cobbles, wood, tiles, ceramics, terracota roof tiles and other details to retain a simple southern décor. With its beam-and-cane ceiling, thick white stone walls and flagged floor, the house gives you a feeling of having stepped back in time.

Outside

The farm has 6 acres of land. It sits at 1640ft. in a fertile valley, with magnificent mountain views. Through the middle of the finca runs the Bocaleones river, which rises just 4 miles upstream. You can enjoy the sparkling clean river only 20 yards away from the house. In the crystal clear water you may see a variety of water plants, small fishes and if you are lucky you may even see an otter (please, see VIDEOS). During the heat of the summer H5L Lunas remains cool and refreshing because of the river and the sound of the water features.

The farm is divided by the river into two plots of land: the Terraced Patios and the Organic Vegetable Garden.

Our well-maintained Terraced Patio areas are between the house and the riverbank, both sunny and shaded terraces. The house is surrounded by aromatic herbs, flowers and shrubs, olive, quince, fig, orange, palm and white mulberry trees. The garden and lawn area pay tribute to the imagination and artistry of the owners. Little water falls, inlaid mosaics, tiny waterways... and always the sound of water.

We have an Organic Vegetable Garden, watered by our own irrigation channel (acequias) a system dating back to Moorish times. One acre of cultivated land provides us with all the usual vegetables plus a variety of fruit trees.

Please enjoy your stay. Feel at home! Be yourself!

What a beautiful paradise down here! You have created a little sanctuary for yourselves

and everybody else. Moments of tranquilo and happiness as I am walking on ancient pathways feeling the olives and the running clean water of your river.

H5L has been our second home for two weeks. Many thanks for sharing some

of the Spanish things of life with us: we have learned to live the Andalusian way.
