Sleeps 10 (5 Bedrooms)
|
|
Set on the banks of the river Guadalfeo between the pretty white villages of Torvizcon and Almegijar, Cortijo la Catitera was once an inn used by travellers en route to or from the high Alpujarra. Sympathetically restored seven years ago by its present owners the house is now a comfortable home retaining all the original features such as a bread oven, stables, whitewashed wooden beams etc. Outside are a number of terraces for sunbathing by the large pool and for dining alfresco. There is good road access. Torvizcon is 5 min. by car and has all amenities and the market town of Orgiva is 15 min. drive. Should you want to leave here the coast can be reached in 40 min. and Granada and the Alhambra in just over 1 hour. The house is large and spacious and can in fact easily accommodate groups of up to 10, however we can rent it for groups of 4 to 6. For smaller groups please contact us for details.
