Istan (42826)

This village house offers superb mountain views, being on the edge of the National Park of Sierra de las Nievas. It is traditionally built in Andalucían style. The front door opens into a lobby with storage area. Tiled stairs lead to the first floor living and dining room, which is open-plan to the simple kitchenette. Open-sided stairs (unsuitable for toddlers) lead up to the pretty double bedroom and shower room. Istan's narrow streets are best enjoyed on foot. Cars are usually left at the parking area at the foot of the village, although you can get nearer to the house to unload your luggage. Occasional fiestas are held in the village, please enquire for further information.
