Holiday Cottage For a Couple | Las Alpujarras

Property Description

This little custom-built holiday cottage stands in in the valley of the Guadalfeo River, a hundred metres from a small country lane and five hundred meters from the river bed itself, a delightful place to explore. There are other houses around and about, but the cottage faces away from them and enjoys relative privacy. High, dense hedging and fencing also helps!

Although it lies in the middle of an extensive property, the grounds of the cottage itself are very small, just enough to surround the house and the swimming pool.

The interior is a festival of local good taste and style …

Three arches separate the living room from the kitchen and from the small hall which leads to the bedroom and bathroom. Under beamed ceilings, walls are kept busy by a multitude of rustic bits and pieces. The pebble dashed chimney breast is particularly creative …

The kitchen area - and, come to that, everything else, too - is neat, tidy and functional.

Along the front of the house a pleasant porch, full of pot plants, looks out to the pool area, separated from it by a tiny area of lawn.

A good place to eat al fresco, next to the barbecue, or to spend the hot hours of the day in the shade, refreshed by the sight of water, while enjoying an unimpaired view of the surrounding mountains.

Ten minutes away from this countryside retreat, Órgiva is the local market town, an ecclectic mix of old Andaluz tradition and the New Age. Less than an hour from of Granada, the Mediterranean coast is just 35 minutes away. And there's mile upon mile of fabulous, dramatic and very beautiful mountain countryside to enjoy, right here in Las Alpiujarras.
