Casa de cinco Hermanos
Present at Casa de cinco Hermanos
From today we have a gas grill available for our guests. This barbecue can be used by anyone staying with us, free of charge.
We have placed a picnic table nearby.
After a successful experiment last year, we can now offer our guests, acces to the internet. If you have a laptop with WIFI you can access the internet, send and receive e-mail, in the rooms and sunroom free of charge.
We recently made contact with John Goodhew (a naturist masseur). He offers various types of massages to our guests. He is fully qualified and on request, he travels to our house to service our guests. Read more on his website.
We recently made contact with 'Ambiente' Centro de Belleza, Salud y Bienestar. This is Spanish for beauty, health and wellness. In the Netherlands we call it a wellness centre. An English lady (Emma Hall) is running the centre. Now we can also offer spa packages to our guests. There are many possibilities, combined with an active time of day, food and entertainment, whatever pleases you best.
We have turned the terrace in front of our house into a conservatory. This conservatory has many doors so, in the summer it still remains a cool place. In the early spring, late autumn and winter of course it is a nice warm place where it is a good place to be. We have all kinds of games and of course guests can lounge there. We also now have a big table which can easily accommodate ten people. Cozy!
After much work by ourselves and others we have recently added a wine cellar in a cave that we found in one of our fields. We have bought quite a few local wines that are stored there and waiting for the connoisseurs among our guests. These wines we tasted ourselves during visits to local wineries, all the bear the title Denominacion de Origen Jumilla (the local quality label). They are all fine wines from the area.
We now have a sunroof especially made near the pool for everyone to enjoy either sun or shadow when sitting by the pool.
We now are the proud owners of a bigger car. It is a Fiat Dobló in which we can easily carry four passengers and their luggage. This service we now offer for a fair price.
Also we can bring people to the start of their hiking or biking route or collect them at the end of the route.
The casita’s we are glad to say have arrived and are now ready for use. We have worked hard to get the inside ready.
The casita’s now have a living room with a little kitchen and a bathroom. Outside is a little sunroof with electric light, to enjoy the long summer-evenings.

Also we have an outside kitchen where we can barbecue “A la Brassa and the boules court is ready for guests to use.
Other news:
Our first season has ended and some of our first guests have signed the digital guestbook.
The outside looks much better since it has its final colour, sunroof and furniture (as you can see in the photo section).
During our stay in Spain we have been walking about our house and in the nearby area. We have saved these walks in a GPS-device. Anyone who has a Garmin GPS-device can download these walks. Others can rent a GPS-device of us. The walk vary in length from 2,5 miles to 10 miles each. In the near future we plan to expand the amount of walks.
We have not yet had the opportunity to cycle ourselves. The roads in the vicinity are very suitable for sportive cycling. But beware of Spanish drivers as the are not used to cyclers on main roads. We have bicycles for rent as well as routes (to lend) and detailed maps (for sale) of the surroundings.
