No 1 Plaza Andalucía was built in 2006/7 on the site of a smaller delapidated farm-house by the broadcaster Nicholas Tresilian and his wife the photographer Fay Tresilian: it contains part of his collection of books; her photographs of Spanish life are in many of the rooms.
Though Fay with her fluent Spanish is always available by telephone (07774 404877), your first point of contact on arriving in Las Pinedas is most likely to be Maribel Rosa.
Maribel is our trusty keyholder and caretaker for No 1. She and her partner Lolo Carmona live in the house immediately at the back of No 1. Lolo looks after the pool and the plants. Maribel looks after the house and its guests.
Trained in house-keeping skills in a 4-star hotel, Maribel will provide as much or as little service on a daily basis as you require during your stay. She will also, should you wish, cook you delicious meals based on the traditional Spanish dishes: salmorejo, gaspacho, paella , rabo de toro etc.. She speaks a little English, and understands it considerably better than she speaks it. Accompanied on the guitar by Lolo, she also sings a stirring flamenco.
