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 photographer wife, the late Fay Tresilian: it contains part of his collection of books; her photographs of Spanish life are in many of the rooms.
Though Nicholas lives much of the year in Las Pinedas and is always available by telephone (+44 (0)7970 702 706), your first point of contact on arriving in Las Pinedas is equally likely to be Maribel Carmona.
Maribel is our trusty keyholder and caretaker for No 1. She and her husband Lolo 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.
