La Flamenca Inn

About

Sofas, games, reclaimed radiators... A slice of Victoriana in Andalucia, an amazing village house with lovely owners. One for creative souls Welcome to the cobbled village of Cortelazor (three tapas bars, one shop, a pool), set in a delightful bowl surrounded by trees and almost-English hills. La Flamenca was once a house and bakery (locals still talk about getting their bread here) but all that remains is the listed front wall. Now two wooden doors transport you from the hot Huelva to a slice of Victorian England, gloriously spread over three floors: rent a room or take it all. Lola and Peter's welcome is warm: she with a degree in fine arts, he a musician, both quietly passionate about their new project. The atrium is the core of the house and where they hold flamenco evenings (with Peter on guitar): note the church pews and the very pretty old Swiss stove, tall and tiled. The grand salon has amazing stained-glass windows, the kitchen is in country style. Bedrooms are a cornucopia of reclaimed parquet floors and Art Deco pieces... William Morris curtains, a four-poster from Alexandria, an enamelled bath that weighed a ton! The garden is new, with a yoga lawn, a barbecue, and a hot tub with views of the Sierra Morena.
