Casa Alta is a Village House with Private Pool and Wonderful Mountain Views
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Casa Alta is a comfortable, four bedroom house in the village of Nigüelas offering views overlooking the village and the Lecrin valley with its olive and almond trees spreading out in the distance. The Lecrin valley runs between the fabled city of Granada and the tropical coast at Salobreña. The house is in the highest and a quiet part of the village with the foothills of the Sierra Nevada rising to the rear of the property providing a backdrop of dramatic beauty. Eagles fly above the rocky terrain, and you can walk among the orange and lemon groves. With its light and airy feel, balcony, roof terrace, swimming pool and close proximity to the amenities of Niguelas, the house offers privacy without being cut off from Spanish life.

Notes on accommodation
In summer the house, being at 3000 feet, is pleasantly cool at night. In the day there is always somewhere to sit in the shade. In winter the underfloor heating downstairs and the wood burning stove upstairs makes the house pleasantly warm. The terraces and pool mean that toddlers will require supervision.
The house is no smoking.
Accessibility
There is a very short but fairly stiff walk up from the village although it it is easy to drive up and park outside the house.
Outside
The private pool is 3.5 x 6 metres and not overlooked. The surrounding patio has plenty of sun loungers and easy chairs. There is a cold water shower by the pool. The front terrace has a table and plenty of seating under a gazebo. There is also a very large roof terrace which has another table and chairs, and a barbecue.
Coast/Beach
