About the home

The Almond House is an original farm cottage set amongst acres of almond and olive groves that has been beautifully restored to a very high standard throughout. The spacious en-suite bedrooms are furnished with traditional, stylish pieces and retain many original features. The comfortable living room with dvd and ipod facilities leads through to a fully equipped open plan kitchen and dining area with a wood burning stove for those chillier evenings. The outside dining room room and private courtyard leading up to the pool and terraces are ideal for al fresco eating.

Perfect for those looking to escape you need do nothing more than lie by the pool during the day and star gaze at night. - Our magnificent night skies, amongst the clearest in Spain, are the perfect back drop for a romantic evening. For the more active guests the countryside around The Almond House offers the opportunty to walk amongst wild rosemary and thyme, through valleys and along goat trails, observing the natural wildlife of the area.

The Andalucia / Almeria Province region

In this forgotten corner of Andalucia there is the opportunity to explore mountains, lakes, beaches, historic towns and spectacular countryside.
The sparkling beaches, quiet coves and traditional beach bars of the beautiful, unspoilt resort of San Juan de Los Terreros are perfect to spend a lazy day enjoying the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. Further down the coast are the lively resorts of Mojacar and Garrucha with almost 30kms of sandy beaches, typical beach bars and stylish, cosmopolitan restaurants. All of these beaches are within a 40 minute drive of The Almond House. Head further inland, through beautiful rural landscapes, to the historic towns of Velez Rubio and Velez Blanco, the gateway to the Sierra Maria - Los Velez national Park.
Within a 90 minute drive you can enjoy the delights of the lakes at Baza and half an hour more will take you to the beautiful, historic city of Granada with its stunning Alhambra.

Our enviable climate really does make this an all year destination

The Huercal-Overa / Taberno area

The thriving agricultural town of Huercal - Overa with its lively Monday market is 12 km away. Here you will find supermarkets, banks, a post office and a variety of shops to suit your needs. There are some great bars and traditional restaurants serving local and international cuisine. In October the town celebrates a 5 day fiesta with music and dancing, fairground rides and plenty of food and drink! December sees the main town square transformed back to olden days for a medieval market selling artisan products and traditional food

The Almond House enjoys a completely rural setting, but the picturesque village of Taberno with its authentic Spanish restaurants and bars, a traditional bakery, butchers, grocery stores, banks and a pharmacy is just 6kms away.
Every weekend in August one local village or another celebrates their own fiesta in true Spanish style with everybody welcome.

“Beautiful house, stunning surroundings, perfect holiday!!” We visited Almond House in September 2012 and what a pleasure it was. From the moment we first enquired, Paul and Jules couldn't do enough for us. Even before arriving we were made to feel very welcome and the booking process was easy. The directions were excellent and Paul even comes to meet you in a nearby village to take you to Almond House. A friendly welcome awaits anybody who is lucky enough to visit. The fridge is well stocked with essential items (beer & wine amongst other things) on your arrival. The Casita can only be described as beautiful. You have everything you need. Paul and Jules are always there if you need them. The setting is stunning, and very private but not too far away from local amenities. There are plenty of walks to do around the area, and there are activities available should you wish to do them. Paul is a personal trainer so don't be too worried about gaining a few pounds, he'll soon whip you into shape with some circuit training. The private pool area is very tranquil, with a larger than average pool and inflatables for those with children. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool area including gorgeous day beds, where many afternoons were spent snoozing. We took our 2 sons aged 9 and 15 and they were never bored. Beaches are no more than 40 minutes drive away and there is plenty of information available for day trips. We have never been to the same place twice, but this was a perfect and wonderful holiday, and as such we have booked to go back in August this year. Can't wait !! Thanks Paul and Jules, we all look forward to seeing you again soon x

“The most wonderful hosts - would definitely recommend The Almond House.” The Almond House is situated in beautiful surroundings in a very rural part of Spain. The perfect place to unwind and relax with hardly another building in site. The property has been wonderfully designed with lots of attention to detail and certainly has rustic charm in abundance. Paul and Julie are magnificent hosts and can honestly not do enough to make your stay a home from home experience. At the same time though they allow you to have family space and are not at all intrusive. Julie is a magnificent cook if you would prefer to completely unwind on your holiday and not cook and Paul can make sure that you dont put on any lbs from Julies great cooking as hes a Personal Trainer and puts you through your paces. Looking forward to this years Paella already! Our kids love the gorgeous pool area and the freedom of running around with the dogs and cats. Lovely beaches about a 40 min drive away so great for a day out. Other activites for kids include a Western ranch and show and a very friendly water park. Cant recommend this enough for a completely relaxing holiday.

“Outstanding, a little piece of heaven.” I was reluctant to write this review initially as sometimes you just don't want to share something this good. When we arrived at Almond House everything exceeded our expectations. Paul and... more

“An oasis of calm. Lovely location. Well equipped, clean accomodation.” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you're after nightlife, crowds and a supermarket on your doorstep, then this isn't the place for you. But if you want peace, relaxation, barbecues by your private pool, and the occasional friendly cat or dog to share it with, then you'll love this cottage. Your friendly but discreet hosts are on hand if you need anything (you probably won't). You'll need a car, as it's some distance from a main road (part of the attraction) and it can be interesting navigating the roads after heavy rain, but fortunately it rarely rains for long!! I would certainly recommend it.
