NEW: Finca La Dehesa is a house full of character in Triana, (municipality of Vélez-Málaga). The Spanish owners built the house themselves, with love and dedication. The main house is compact and has everything it needs: 2 bedrooms, a spacious, bright kitchen with pantry, a bathroom and a cozy lounge with wood-burning stove. All the rooms have terracotta floors, beams and wooden windows and doors. At the entrance to the house, the veranda offers views over the surrounding countryside, the garden and the swimming pool.

All the buildings are on the same level, providing very easy access.
