Casa Montana Vista Guest house is a 200-year-old renovated “Cortijo” or village farmhouse in the village of Llano de los Olleres.Surrounded by orange lemon fig grape groves, the main source of income for the local people living here, although there are other family industries within the village it is not uncommon to see the farmer going to his fields on a donkey or the goat lady taking her goats to pasture. Now converted to a Guesthouse in keeping with all of the traditional features.
We bought the house four years ago from “Carlos” Son of the previous owners “Resurrection and Domingo” good friends and elders in the village,

Domingo’s Mother had left the house to Domingo and in turn the house was given to Carlos. The house needed some tender loving care, which we hope we have achieved.
Domingo now retired worked on his parents land after joining the Spanish merchant Navy for two years, he breed horses also keeping various animals such as goats and chickens these were housed in the upstairs of our house in the traditional Andalusia way. Three large rooms “cava’s” upstairs one of which housed the animals, another had feeding troughs the other was an open room used for curing hams”jamon” drying peppers, chillies and storing a variety of fruit. These rooms have now been converted into four bedrooms for our children also an office. We have also transformed another bedroom
En suite upstairs from where the end wall was collapsing and the roof falling in.
When Domingo was a baby and small child this is where he and his brothers and sisters slept with the animals, as it was a lot warmer during the winter months! The adults slept downstairs. On moving into the house the babies crib was STILL in the cava used for the children’s sleep room.
On entering the guest house the hall has high-beamed ceilings as has the rest of the house with plaster forms”yesso” between. Apparently when the house was built this cost a great deal of money to construct, many houses had Cane “cannier” ceilings plastered over. The original high glazed doors over 2.5 metres high have been kept in the hallway guest bedrooms and dining room which were once used by the adults living in the house as bedrooms and living areas. Guest bedroom one was Carlos’s Grandmothers bedroom, guest bedroom two was used as a lounge and now our guest dining room and communal lounge were living areas.
The kitchen was a traditional blue and white tiled cupboard with stone sink, now transformed into a modern kitchen with traditional wood burning oven. We have also transformed the other three rooms downstairs into a quite lounge area, utility room where we share use of washing and drying facilities with our guests wishing to use these. Also a Guest bath/shower room. Origionaly these were used as a wine storeroom and very basic toilet room. The outside of the house has been transformed from an earth courtyard with vines growing wild into a tiled kitchen courtyard with a grapevine and herb garden and BBQ area which is very popular with our guests.
From this area we have steps up to the garden pool and patio area, with various Mediterranean plants and Cacti. We have orange, lemon, mandarine cherry and apple trees, a cacti garden and various flower beds with fucia’s, roses, aloe vera, suculants and many other plants and bulbs making this an attractive area to sun bathe and enjoy the pool.
We are within five minutes drive to the local town of Albox with all the amenities of everyday life and twenty minutes to the coastal resorts of Garucha and Mojacar still with its local fleet of fishing boats and miles of unspoilt beaches. For the more adventurous the mountains of Saliente are within fifteen minutes drive with its monastery which it open for all to see dedicated to the “Virgin of Saliente” She is celebrated in the fiesta of our village every year with the village being transformed with carnations arches and fireworks.
