✍️ Description from the real estate agent

Picture waking up to the soft warmth of the sun as you open the window, feeling it gently embrace your skin. Instead of the usual hum of city traffic, the peaceful melody of bird song fills the air.

You get dressed, prepare breakfast, and while sipping your coffee, you notice a charming long-tailed tit bathing in a small puddle of water nestled between aloe leaves. It’s time to get to work—just like everyone else. But here, there’s no need for a car, bus, or train. No hours spent in traffic. Working from home means no noise or stress from the city.

Sounds like a dream, right?

It doesn’t have to be. We've been living this way for almost 20 years. Villa Matilde was built from the ground up by us—it's our home and a thriving rural hotel in the Sierra de Andújar (Southern Spain). Despite economic challenges, Villa Matilde continues to flourish.

After many years of hard work, we’ve decided it’s time to step back and embrace a life of leisure, so we’re offering the business for sale.

Are you ready to leave city life behind and elevate your quality of life?

At Villa Matilde, you’ll have the chance to live and work surrounded by nature, own a well-established rural business with a loyal clientele, and enjoy the benefit of our long-standing reputation—meaning no need for costly advertising or promotion. Sounds pretty ideal, doesn’t it?

If you love wildlife, this is a rare opportunity. Living here means sharing the land with majestic creatures like the Iberian lynx, Spanish Imperial eagle, Black vulture, and other iconic species that roam the enchanting mountain range every day.
