About this property

Secluded idyll! 5min walk to town: very private, pool, air-con.

Casa Rosada boasts the perfect village location: serene rural setting, yet less than 10 min walk to the centre of Orgiva, a bustling market town. This charming, fully equipped and air-conditioned 2-bedroom traditional stone cottage is totally hidden from people's eyes - hidden behind its charming, walled-in garden. It has a 9m x 4m private pool (1.6m to 2.2m deep) exclusively for guests, 2 bathrooms, satellite TV, Internet and WiFi, table tennis and barbecue. The pool is fenced off for children's safety.

You can laze by the pool in perfect privacy in the pretty garden, invisible to the world, with only nature to look at, listening to bird song. Nestling in a valley at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Casa Rosada is ideally located to explore the best of the Alpujarra region - the authentic Spain, the cradle of flamenco. The vibrant city of Granada with its must-see Alhambra Palace is just 1 hr away. The beach, golf and the many picturesque ancient Moorish mountain villages offering spectacular walks and numerous fiestas all within ½ hr drive.

The house is suitable for children as the garden is fully enclosed, all the doors, windows and the patio are protected by metal grills and it is not near a busy road. and the pool is fenced off as a safety measure. The house is a bungalow, so accessible to those with mobility issues, although there are a few steps to the swimming pool. Babies or toddlers can sleep on the sofa bed in the huge master bedroom . An older child can sleep in the second bedroom which is 3 m away from the parents' bedroom via a safe private porch (with two steps), protected by a metal grill and not accessible from the outside. This is a double bed, so two children could share. There is also a sofa bed in the master bedroom and another one in the living room.

This is a self-catering villa. All bed linen, bath towels and poolside towels are included. We provide a thorough cleaning before and after your stay (included in the price) and toilet paper and hand wash liquid on arrival. There are many supermarkets in Orgiva, with the largest - Consum - open Mon - Sat inclusive, 9 am to 9.30 pm.

Orgiva is a small but bustling little town, capital of the Eastern Alpujarra region, and boasts a variety of excellent restaurants and bars, as well as all the facilities such as banks, Medical Centre, a variety of shops and supermarkets, as well as vibrant Saturday market with a crafts market.

Activities: river bathing, walking, riding, bicycle hire, yoga courses, massage (Thai, shiatsu, etc), many alternative therapies. The nearest beach is only a picturesque 30 min drive. Visit Granada with its famous Alhambra Palace for a day trip, and many beautiful mountain villages with breath-taking views only a few km away for a morning or afternoon visit.

A place to unwind
As a middle aged couple this was perfect for us. Lovely quiet location just outside the town but still within walking distance - took us about 15 minutes but maybe we are slow walkers. Great views of the mountains and a lovely walk up to the nearby small hamlet of Bayacas - worth a visit. Casa Rosada very homely, clean with a genuine rustic feel. Slightly quirky layout - see other reviews. Garden and pool lovely - though no shallow end (1.6m) as per description. Recommend the local supermarket Consum and outside cafe just by the big ORGIVA sign in the main square. Very good communication with the owner and with the local manager Carmen.

Great Location, Very Private Villa
Easy booking and excellent communication. We were met in Orgiva as planned by Carmen and led to the villa. The villa was very clean. The garden was superb, well screened by many plants. The pool was excellent, long enough for some good swimming and very private. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything worked, including the WiFi. A problem with the gas supply to the cooker was fixed within 20 minutes of contacting Carmen. The final approach to the villa looked more imposing from the road than it was. We did note that ground clearance beneath the car was low in places. We found the bed in the master bedroom to be very soft, which caused some issues with back pain for one member of the party. We do appreciate that this is a personal preference, and will be fine if you are happy sleeping on a soft bed. The porch, mentioned in many other reviews, has a roof and is enclosed on the outside by floor to ceiling metal railings. It is totally secure, and whilst not private, the neighbouring house does not seem to be used much and was only occupied for one afternoon during our week's stay. There are good walks up the valley from the house. The routes can be hard to find: our local maps didn't show all the routes. We found the Strava app best for route finding: it shows you where walkers have gone before, revealing some interesting routes in the hills and the possibility of walking to the higher villages for coffee or lunch.

Stunning pool and garden
Carmen was fantastic and even though we were late this was no problem and she met us later with a big smile. She was on hand to ask general questions via WhatsApp and when the water inexplicably stopped suddenly, she worked hard to get it reinstated. This is a beautiful home but the layout didn’t quite work for us. The smaller bedroom accessed from the living room is joined to the master via a floor to ceiling fenced in porch but for even older children this can be a bit daunting as whilst it is secure, it is open and anyone can get access round the back of the house. They wouldn’t be able to access the house but the kids found it a bit weird that someone could see in. It’s a shame because everything else was amazing! The pool and garden with mountain views are to die for!

Charming rustic house
We have just spent a lovely two weeks at Casa Rosada, a charming rustic home with fabulous secluded gardens and pool area. We had a couple of minor issues on arrival which were resolved within the hour after a quick message to Carmen who looks after the house beautifully. We would highly recommend this property for a chilled, peaceful holiday.
