La Casita · Rural Retreat in the Mountains

Registered rural home. A 200-year-old stone house in a secluded village between Aracena and Riotinto. BBQ with views of the valley, a fireplace, a patio with lounge chairs, and unforgettable sunsets. Silence, nature, and starry skies, with high-speed satellite internet for remote work, video calls, or streaming. Perfect for unwinding, reading, taking walks, or simply letting time stand still.

The Space
Stone rural cottage with a barbecue, valley views, and sunsets: total disconnection in the mountains

Welcome to La Casita, a 200-year-old stone house lovingly restored and surrounded by unspoiled nature. Located in a hamlet of just 12 residents, between the Aracena and Río Tinto Mines Natural Parks, it’s the perfect place to pause time, disconnect from the noise, and reconnect with what truly matters.

🌿 The Space
This unique, rustic house, full of authentic details, can comfortably accommodate 4 people:

2 bedrooms with double beds (150 cm)

Living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a spacious sofa, perfect for reading, listening to music, watching TV, or playing board games

Fully equipped rustic kitchen (oven, induction cooktop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Italian coffee maker, and complete set of kitchenware)

Handcrafted slate bathroom, with a spacious shower

Covered outdoor dining area

Patio with a grill, sun loungers, and breathtaking views

Private parking on the property

🪵 The house retains its original features, such as antique locks and hidden light switches, which add to its charm. There are no modern luxuries here, but there is authenticity and soul.

🌅 The Experience
From the patio, you’ll see the most beautiful sunsets in the area. All around, there are only pastures, trails, and hills where you can wander at your own pace. At night, the sky is filled with stars. During the day, it’s easy to come across a fox, a wild boar, or simply geckos climbing the walls.
Although people come here to read, chat, cook over a low flame, or walk among the holm oaks, the house has high-speed satellite internet—perfect for remote work, video calls, or streaming whenever you want to stay connected without sacrificing the peace and quiet.
