Encina de Lorenzo II y III, Abrucena Overview
Encina de Lorenzo II y III is a countryside stay in Abrucena, Spain, set along Carretera la Roza, where the pace slows and the landscape does the entertaining. Guests typically comment on the privacy of having outdoor space and a private pool for unhurried swims, with many noting that it feels like your own small retreat rather than a shared complex. The property also pairs that quiet setting with practical touches: free wired internet, covered parking, and the option of self parking for a surcharge, so arrival and day-to-day logistics are easier. Reviews frequently mention the Japanese garden as a calm visual counterpoint to the arid surroundings, giving the outdoor areas a more considered, landscaped feel.
For nearby sightseeing, Tabernas Desert is about 22 km away, with film-set style attractions in the same general area around 24–25 km, making day trips straightforward. If you’re planning meals out, Abrucena’s town centre is roughly 10 km from the property, where you can find simple Spanish dining and tapas options.
This is best for couples and small groups who want space, a private pool, and a relaxed base for exploring the Tabernas desert region without staying in a busy town. Families can also work well here if everyone is comfortable with a car-based routine, since the area is rural and the “swimming nearby” option is not the same as being on a beach. Pet-friendly policies are a plus for travelers bringing animals, and guests often appreciate the offsite parking arrangements and the overall calm atmosphere.
