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. The house is large and spacious and can easily accommodate groups of up to 10. Outside are a number of terraces for sunbathing by the large pool and for dining al fresco. There is good road access. Torvizcon is 5 minutes by car and has all amenities and the market town of Orgiva is 15 minutes drive. Should you want to leave here the coast can be reached in 45 minutes and Granada and the Alhambra in just over an hour! The house sits on a hillside planted with fig, olive, almond and grape and overlooks an orchard.
