Stroll through the olive grove, up a flight of steps cut out of the hillside, to the large private pool and a viewing terrace set even higher than the pool area. From here the views are truly breathtaking, sweeping down to the lake and sea, with the mountains as a dramatic backdrop. 

The pool measures 10 by 5 meters and runs from 1 meter deep at the shallow end to 2.4 meters at the deep end. There is a pool shower and a large terracotta tiled terrace around the pool, with 6 sun-beds and a large cane-shaded canopy. The pool features underwater lighting and the pool terraces can be floodlit at night, should you fancy a moonlight dip!
The pool and pool terraces are for the sole use of clients and are utterly private and undisturbed. For families with young children, access to the pool via the gated entrance to the pool steps can be closed off if required.

Relax in the shade of an enormous old olive tree whilst admiring the spectacular views. Cook up a feast at the outdoor kitchen area with built-in barbecue and sink. Enjoy eating alfresco at the large dining table on the wide terracotta terrace that stretches the length of the house. Or sprawl on one of the comfortable sofas under the vines on the kitchen terrace or in the shady enclosed courtyard, breathing in the scent of jasmine and oleander.

The farmhouse, cottage and pool are set in 3 acres of private land amidst olive and almond groves, surrounded by vine-covered terraces and pretty gardens. The gardens are lush with a profusion of flowering and scented climbers as well as herbs and fruit trees including pomegranate, apricot and peach. Guests can help themselves to fruit from the fruit trees as well as lemongrass, mint, laurel and more from the well-stocked herb garden.

For children (and adults!), the grounds are a treasure trove of natural splendor, with wildflowers, birds, butterflies and even, on one occasion, a wild tortoise! There is unlimited space for children to run about and virtually no traffic passing by, apart from the occasional horse-rider or herd of mountain goats.

La Amapola is not overlooked by any neighbours and is totally secluded and private, yet within easy reach of all local amenities, including numerous tapas bars serving typical regional specialities and an excellent local restaurant.
