Not only will you be impressed by the breathtaking views, but you will definitely enjoy hours of relaxation in this terrace.
We enter the house by the front door, although the dining room and kitchen area has direct access to the terrace we have seen before. Inside you will find an open space where the lounge, living room and kitchen are. The large windows and glass doors allows the room to be filled up with light. On the lounge area, there are two sofas and other seats close to the wood fireplace for those winter cozy evenings. If you have been skiing in Sierra Nevada, it could be a very nice end of the day.

By the dining table, a corner window with astonishing views completes this nice and charming area. You will see there are two heating panels on the ceiling, these are to assure you a maximum comfort inside the house throughout the winter. There are insect screens in windows and doors in all rooms of the house, so you can leave everything open and enjoy the fresh breeze without thinking about being bothered by mosquitoes when it gets warm. Thanks to its design, it is possible to enjoy the fantastic view and surroundings both from the outside and inside of the house.
