Owner profile
About the owner
I am an Australian Master Builder. We came to Ferreirola when we met 25 years ago. After exploring most of the 45 villages that make up the Alpujarras we found Ferreirola to be the prettiest and most tranquil of all the villages. We bought a ruin of a house and together restored it to its original concept only with mod cons and modern comforts. Importantly making all paper work, titles, registration of Titles, Council Permits, drains, water, plumbing, electrics, in order. Restored from Roof to Foundations in the manner I have built all my life in Australia. We live between Australia and Ferreirola. We are always glad to return to our work in Ferreirola. Being a disciple of the famous of the famous catalan arquitect Gaudi. We made the inside comfortable, papers all in order and legal.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
The real Spain is in the south, GRANADA! free tapas with the drinks! its a happy city,not too big,walkable and lots and lots of incredible fiestas.The apartment is a stroll to the Alhambra,its next to Plaza Nueva,Plaza Bib Rambla,Plaza Trinidad. We are in the old romantic district the Albaicin,with its maze of narrow cobbled streets and look out of San Nicholas in front of the Alhambra.Our street is a narrow no traffic pedestrian walkway lined with Moorish tea rooms and restaurants. Our apartment is one of a small group in an enclosed garden patio with fountains, top floor of 3 stories and its own private patio off the lounge area.Modern, but built in the old Andaluce style of old Spain.We only rent it out a few times a year as we cant resist using it as often as we can.We are Australians.
