Guest comments
A magical place to stay. We have enjoyed every minute. We ate salted cod, drank the bodegas dry, climbed through mountain valleys, counted the stars at night, listened to flamenco, tried out some Spanish and drove each other mad playing ‘scattorgories’. Thanks you for sharing this with us – we will be back."

We couldn’t have wished for a better retreat and wish we could stay longer. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality. A very relaxed and refreshed Sally and Mark."
We have had a brilliant holiday. The house is great and the location is amazing. No doubt we will return. So lovely, we even went so far as to get engaged (not compulsory)"

About the owner
We lived in the cortijo for 4 years and rented the apartment as a holiday home. For personal reasons we are now living in the UK but have kept our lovely home in the mountains and now rent it as a holiday home for 8/9 people or as an apartment for 4 people. We know the area well and the people so are happy to answer any questions you may have and give advice on the area. We now live and work in Suffolk. I work with a charity organising events and Mike is a music teacher. Our son Patrick, who speaks fluent Spanish, is at the local primary school and helps with the language lessons! We hope you enjoy our lovely home as much as we do.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We fell in love with the area after travelling the whole of Spain decided on the Alpujarras as our home! An area of outstanding natural beauty and the villages are so friendly and still very Spanish. It is quiet yet full of interesting and wonderful people. Loved the walking and cycling available and the music.
Unique benefits of the property
The cortijo is unique. One of the oldest in the area and has views that are simply the best around. Its a family home.
