Mansion Sol y Sombra is the perfect place for small groups to get away from it all and relax in a peaceful and exclusive environment. This jewel of Andalucian architecture dating back to 1492, is set deep in the heart of the Spanish hinterland between the coast (30 mins drive) and Granada (1hr drive).
Painstakingly restored into an outstanding country residence it is able to accomodate up to 24 guests. (Group sizes are usually about 12 to 16 persons). The property is ideal for a family holiday with friends. It can also be rented for weddings as it has its own private chapel. Wedding receptions can be organized afterwards in the Moorish gardens or in the recently restored Olive Mill (seating capacity 100 persons).
It is also an ideal location for small business conferences and workshops or as a base for special interest groups (artists, yoga, clubs, film schools etc.) Located at the end of a scenic Tropical Valley. The Mansion is set in a private, quiet and peaceful setting totally away from the hustle and bustle of the coast and nearest towns.
The property comprises the mansion where most of the accommodation is located, a separate cottage with two twin bedrooms, spacious ornamental gardens, private chapel, tennis court, several large terraces, outside summer bar/eating area, 30ft spring fed swimming pool (heating optional for winter/autumn use), all surrounded by magnificent unspoilt views of the hillside and valley.
