Cortijo Fuente Arriba consists of the original one hundred year old Cortijo and 3 detached cottages set in 8341m2 ( 2 acres) of elevated land on the outskirts (5 minute walk) of the small, authentic Spanish village of Lubrin. The Cortijo has been sympathetically renovated into a 2 Bed + 2 Bath upper ground floor apartment, presently occupied by the owner and the lower ground floor into two 1Bed + 1 Bath guest apartments. The layout of the Cortijo allows the owner to share with his family and friends and to have the closeness but the important space for owner and guests to enjoy occasional privacy. The apartments are full of character with beamed ceilings, balconies and traditional window shutters which along with the doors were handmade by the local carpenter. The space around the Cortijo has very private open and covered terraces with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and on a clear day, the Mediterranean which is 12 miles away as the crow flies.
 
The 428m2 of accommodation also includes 3 detached cottages renovated from a stables, barn and outbuilding. There is a 2 Bed + 1 Bath cottage and two 1 Bed Studio cottages with covered and open terraces with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The studio cottage Casita Musica is part of the existing rental pool along with the two lower ground floor apartments, Apartment Rambla and Apartment Castallico. The other 2 detached cottages are scheduled to approved by the Tourist Office next year and will replace the above two apartments to make up the 3 rental properties that will make up Casa Rural Fuente Arriba which will be entered on the Tourism Register for Andalucia.
 
The land is terraced with ancient dry stone walls and the terraces, adjacent to the Cortijo, have been lawned with grape vine and Oleander borders. There are almond, olive and pomegranate trees and the end result are very mature gardens on different levels. The original stone walled water deposit has been converted to a plunge pool with steps leading from a large gazeebo with outside cooking facilities which offer wonderful al fresco dining. The views of the surrounding mountains are truly panoramic and the complete setting has produced a peaceful and tranquil location with welcome rest and relaxation that truly refreshes the soul.
 
But the magic goes on when it is seen that Cortijo Fuente Arriba is just a 5 minute walk to Lubrin Pueblo with an amazing range of amenities to include supermarkets, banks, bread shop, butchers shop, post office, gymnasium, doctors` surgery, pharmacy and a surprising number of restaurants and tapas bars. Beer or Wine and a tapas is less than €2 and a 3 course Menu del Dias costs just €12. The villagers are truly welcoming and visitors are assured of a cultural and gastronomic experience of an authentic Spanish pueblo.
 
Lubrin is also very convenient to explore Almeria with its diverse and dramatic landscapes, isolated villages and romantic beaches and coves. Many guests take the day trip to Granada to marvel at the wonderful Alhambra.
