Your accommodation during your riding adventure is in a brand new but traditional Andalusian cortijo (farm house) named EL CAZADOR (The Hunter), set high upon a promontory within the eleven acres of Finca Los Tigres, a stone’s throw away from Hípica Aguamarga’s stables. It is a stunning, spacious and luxurious villa, with an enticing mix of the modern and the traditional. It has an infinity pool and terraces all around. 
El Cazador (The Hunter), a 3-bedroom, 2- bathroom whitewashed eco-conditioned cortijo, can comfortably accommodate 6 people in its 144m2 . It is an enticing mix of the traditional and the modern, with terra cotta tiles on the floors, slate terraces all around and underfloor solar/gas heating. Every effort has been made to render the house ecologically friendly, using double glazing and double walls with insulation to keep out the heat in summer and lock it in during the winter. We even placed the windows in accordance with the angle of the sun rays to allow more light in in winter and less in summer.
The master bedroom has a large double wrought iron bed whereas the other double room has twin beds which can be easily converted into a king size bed. The smaller bedroom contains a bunk bed /sofa combination which can sleep three people or remain set up as a sofa and a single bunk. All rooms have large built in wardrobes, using the full 3.30m height of the rooms. We provide sheets, pillows, pillowcases, duvets, duvet covers as well as cotton blankets for the hot summer nights.
Two fully equipped bathrooms, one with a bath and shower and the other with a shower, make life comfortable even when El Cazador is home to a large family. Towels of various sizes, plus shower curtains and bath mats are all provided.
(N.B. We would ask that you bring your own beach towels although you are of course free to make use of all other sports and beach equipment you may find in the property).
The kitchen is large, spacious and open-planned, and connects to the main living/dining area. It is modern and equipped to a high standard with all the facilities you may need including a gas hob, electric stove, large ‘walk-in’-style fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, cooker hood and other various electrical appliances such as a kettle, coffee maker, iron and ironing board. Of course the kitchen also comes complete with tea towels, tablecloths, pots and pans as well as complete sets of both crockery and cutlery.
The main living/dining area is large with a family-sized dining table at one end (conveniently next to the kitchen), seating six people. A sofa and three armchairs can be found at the opposite end, along with a wood-burning Franklin stove to guard you against the occasional desert night chill during the winter months. There is also a television in the living area, complete with satellite TV, DVD player and a large collection of films, comedies and other DVDs for you to watch.
El Cazador is not overlooked by any other property and, in fact, the view from the kitchen and main living area (at the front of the building) is a completely uninterrupted desert landscape with stunning hills all around and a glimpse of the sea to the left.
Surrounding the farmhouse are terraces made of traditional natural stone, leading at the front down to a large, solar heated, infinity swimming pool measuring 12.75m x 3.5m (approximately 42 x 11.5 feet). The pool itself is located on an ancient Moorish terrace created hundreds of years ago for viticulture, and is made of honey-coloured stone, in keeping with the ecological requirements of the Nature Reserve, and invisible from the countryside surrounding it. There are terraced areas made of wood and stone all around the pool. The view from the pool is an unobstructed 240-degree landscape for all to enjoy.
At the rear of the property is a gravel driveway leading up to a large space behind the farmhouse. There are no fences surrounding El Cazador, allowing uninterrupted views all around the property. The stables are only a stones’ throw from the front door, with an immense fenced area for riders to enjoy, a short way down the hill directly in front of the accommodation.
There is no telephone line available in El Cazador however mobile phone coverage is very good. If you require internet access, this is available at only ten minutes’ drive from the farmhouse, in Carboneras.
A baby cot can be provided upon request however regrettably we are not able to supply baby blankets.
The farmhouse is fitted with smoke detectors and has a fire extinguisher.
The supply of water, gas and electricity is all included in the cost of your holiday. Please note that all water at the farmhouse comes from a 140 metre deep well and is suitable for all bathing, washing and other such purposes but is not certified ‘potable’. Large containers of mineral water are widely available and inexpensive.
