Cortijo Montano (Jaén)
The Montano Cortijo is a typical stone house on a farm of fruit and olive trees (where the owner family produces its own oil), which even passes a meandro of the Guadalquivir River.Complying with the requirements of this article, this farmhouse, which is rented in its entirety and not by rooms, is located in the region of La Loma, in the center of the province of Jaén, a place whose low popularity has endowed itof a lot of rural character.And one more point in favor: the house is totally isolated, 8 kilometers from the nearest town, but also near Úbeda and Baeza, both World Heritage cities, in case the need for socialization is pressing.Arantxa Neyra, its owner, says that when they bought the land, the farmhouse was almost destroyed."I have been traveling so many years for work, visiting so many hotels, that I had always had that fantasy of receiving travelers in my house, so I decided to rehabilitate it."
The Cortijo is very spacious (200 m2 per plant) and has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in addition to a kitchen, dining room and rooms, air conditioning, internet and a lot of care.“The plan here is to enjoy the house, make barboccas, dinner on the porch, bathe in the pool, go to take fruit to the trees of the farm (the tenant can take whatever they want and leave a symbolic amount that the Dona family laterto an NGO of the area) or get to know the surroundings.“In the town next door, says Neyra, is one of the best tourist oil mills in the area, which gives visits in several languages explaining the process of creating olive oil (Jaén produces more than 50% of the world's olive oil) and a bakery, where to buy fresh and sweet bread. ”
In the middle of the ‘almost’ nothing desires to go out to travel the green road either by bike or walk or get caught by nature, which in Jaén they know a lot.You can also enjoy the other great revolution of the area, which has been, of course, the gastronomic.They are the new Michelin stars of the province: Lady Juan and Bagá, in Jaén Capital, both located at a convenient half hour of the farmhouse.
