The English owners of Tresvillas, Tony and Debby Brown, started with their first house Estrella in 2004 and have only recently added newly-constructed Antonio and Carmen in the last two years. All three houses are available as holiday rentals from 2017. Tony and Debby spend time in both the UK and Spain and Casa Carmen is a project born out of their love of the Sierra de Aracena and Alájar in particular. Their taste for Spanish culture was begun in Mexico where they lived for 4 years and each of the three houses include objects brought back from that country.

The pretty village of Alájar, located in the largest natural park in Andalucía, is situated in the south west corner of Spain some 90 kilometres north of Seville where the nearest airport is to be found. Alájar is said to be the jewel in the Sierra de Aracena park because it is nestled under La Peña de Arias Montano, a national monument on a rocky outcrop above the village dating back to the 16th century. From here there are spectacular views of the beautiful verdant countryside with cork, oak, fruit trees and olive trees all around. Wonderful walks and activities for all ages A holiday here is perfect for those who love the sun, walking, horse riding, bike riding, bird watching, eating and drinking and enjoy spectacular countryside. As an ancient white Moorish hilltop village Alajar is full of interesting architecture with small narrow streets and many shops, restaurants and bars, all a short walk from Casa Carmen. It’s the real Spain unspoilt by development and staying grounded in the friendly culture of the local region.
