This Moorish style holiday home has been designed with visual serenity, ambience, colours and comfort being of the utmost importance. Less than 3km from the market town of Origiva, nestling in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, this is a quiet and peaceful retreat. The 10x5m private pool continues the Moorish style and is set among the orange, lemon, olive, palm and jacaranda trees. Relaxing by the pool, amongst the olive groves with the superb mountain vistas, you will occasionally hear the sound of goats' bells in the distance or see horses trotting past. Nearby the white washed Berber villages, can be found clinging to the southern slopes of Spain's highest mountain range. These were the last outposts of the Moors after the fall of the of Granada in the 16th century.

Guest comments
We were determined to have a relaxing holiday, but never dreamt it would be made so easy for us! This beautiful place you've both created is just perfect for winding down. You take a deep breath from the moment you arrive. Nothing is too much trouble and you've been able to strike the balance between friendliness and privacy. Beautfiul area, Granada and the Alhambra we loved! Thank you very much - Carolyn, John, Adam and Freya, Yorkshire.
Top 10 at Cortijo el Castano (not necessarily in order)! Stunning mountain views from the terrace, reading and swimming in the garden, cafe Baraka in Orgiva for Moroccan pastries, lunch in the square in Pampaneira, rotisserie chickens from Orgiva Market, BBQ with Nigel and Zoe - great hosts, the Alhambra, watching the BBC! Candlelit dinners on terrace, very comfortable, well equipped and Moroccan style surroundings - all beautifully designed and in keeping. Thank you - The Woolf family - Sussex.
