Property Description
The small town of Órgiva turns into countryside just a lemon's throw from the market square. Here, albeit close to town, this little house and its lovely gardens are private and tranquil, hidden away behind trees down a short, gravel drive.
A recently built cottage with tiled floors inside, it has a furnished porch and terrace outside as well as the lawned garden and pool. Flanking, and belonging to the property, is an olive grove with trees of tremendous age.
The cottage is sunny and modern, a simple, comfortable holiday home. Enjoying Órgiva's warm microclimate, it is especially inviting to spend days and evenings outdoors, lounging by and taking dips in the delightful swimming pool.
All on one floor, there is a comfortable lounge / diner which opens through glass doors to the shaded terrace and gardens beyond. It is separated from the kitchen by a bar counter. The two bedrooms and the bathroom lead off.
Being on the edge of town it enjoys the best of both world's, in the countryside yet just a few minutes walk to tapas bars, shops and restaurants. It's very handy for Órgiva's Thursday morning market too, an event which shouldn't be missed! Both the magical city of Granada and the beaches of the Costa Tropical are within easy driving distance for day trips.
Or stay within the wonderful mountain world of Las Alpujarras and discover the eight centuries of Moorish heritage in the traditional, white-washed mountain villages and their flourishing local craftwork (hand woven carpets, textiles and wicker-work), not to mention the regions' cuisine and excellent food products such as the mountain-cured Trevelez ham.
For the energetic there's wonderful hiking in the mountains, year-round cycling, downhill skiing in winter (Órgiva is 1½ hour's drive from the ski slopes), horse riding and paragliding, as well as water-sports and golf on the coast. Or just spend your time doing very little, dipping in and out of the pool, perhaps enjoying a well earned siesta … isn't that what a holiday is all about!
This has long been a favourite with our clients. Comments such as "We had the best of holidays. We loved the privacy, peace and quiet and the closeness to town", and "we had a brilliant holiday and the villa was lovely" are typical.
The house now has a younger sister, a recently built cottage next door, this one just for a couple (also with its own private pool). For more information, click here.
