Here we have available a really nice and well presented village house in Monte Lope Alvarez, Jaén. It has plenty of space for parking outside on the street and has accommodation over 2 floors.  There is a lovely private patio and all of the towns amenities including bars, shops and a bank are within walking distance of the property.

You enter the property into a large hallway with traditional Andalucian tiles.  On this floor you will find 2 good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, lounge with fireplace, kitchen and utility area. There is another room and bathroom which you can access from the patio or kitchen.  This is currently being used as a second lounge but could be another bedroom for guests.  There is also a nice patio with useful storage space.

Upstairs there is another large bedroom and 2 smaller rooms.  These could be used for storage, or you could create an additional bathroom.

Monte Lope Alvarez is a typical whitewashed Andalucían village in the province of Jaén, close to the border of Córdoba.  In the eighteenth century, the pastures of the area were planted with olive trees and over the coming decades the local economy expanded on the back of the liquid gold that the olives produced. The town still has olive mills but is very tranquil, with a population of around 750.  The village boasts 3 bars, a chemist, 2 bakers and a fishmonger as well as a couple of other stores. In any of the bars the local or visitor can enjoy a bottle of beer or glass of wine including a not so small tapa for around 2e.   It is believed that 1923 saw the first procession of the Virgen del Carmen, a tradition still continued today as the Romería de la Virgen del Carmen in May.  Virtually the whole village makes a pilgrimage to Mingo Yuste, a small hamlet complete with its own chapel, where festivities and joviality are obligatory throughout the night and into daylight. It is the perfect place for enjoying the true Spanish lifestyle.
