Property Description
This casita (cottage) built in the traditional Alpujarran style, is a five minute drive from the market town of Órgiva, set back a couple of hundred metres from the small country lane which winds through the countryside away from town.
It's a peaceful, rural location, hidden among olive and orange groves with mature fragrant gardens. Views are superb, with the often snow capped peaks of Sierra Nevada to the north and graceful Sierra Lújar dominating the horizon to the south.
The English owners live in the original farmhouse, some 50 metres or so away from the casita. Although close by, they take every care to ensure that guests staying at the casita will enjoy peace and privacy.
Guests have exclusive and private use of the swimming pool which is situated between the two properties. At the owners end of the pool, a high screen gives guests privacy when using the pool.
Inside, it has very nicely decorated using traditional rustic touches like wooden beams, ceramic tiles and rustic floors. Walls are painted in natural ochres which creating a warm, comfortable, cheerful atmosphere. The owners are constantly refurbishing and improving things to keep it always up to date, a really enjoyable and happy holiday home.
Entrance to the property is from the covered porch, where one can enjoy breakfast in the morning sunshine or lunch in the shade of the large avocado tree. All around is wonderful tranquillity amid the semi-tropical vegetation.
The following is a typical entry in the Guest Book "This charming casita has lived up to all expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the wonderfully relaxing surroundings. Thank you for being such charming hosts"
A perfect retreat from life's hustle and bustle, here you can rest up and laze around in complete peace. If you prefer something a little more active, you can enjoy walking, riding and climbing in the nearby mountains and there's lots to explore, too, in this beautiful part of rural Spain.
