Trabuco Heights has some of the best panoramic views of Trabuco's 'pueblo blanco' and the mountain range backdrop. It immediately looks over a quiet, wide residential street. Be prepared for the occasional spontaneous flamenco singing and perhaps a neighbour bringing his miniature pony to the front of his house! To the rear of the property is a terracotta tiled patio with table and chairs for al fresco dining. One of the patios has a gas-fired barbeque for grilling the local meat, fish and vegetables The garden area is very tranquil with the rustle of the pine trees and bird songs being the only distractions whilst relaxing in the hammock. The municipal swimming pool is on the road through the pine forest approximately a 5 min walk. Open mid June to mid September,it has beautiful gardens and a good restaurant/bar with reasonable prices. As Villanueva del Trabuco is a mountain village, there are many slopes and steps. The property is on a high level, and as such, it is unsuitable for very young children or those with walking difficulties. Pets are not allowed. Smokers are asked to respect our property and smoke outside although caution should be observed near the pine forest!
