Barbara is fantastic. She has a lovely old moors house in a fantastic part of the world. If you are after peace and quiet this is the place. If you enjoy bush walks then there are plenty in the area. The views are fabulous from the roof top terrace. I would highly recommend a stay here. Thanks Barbara.

Comfortable well equipped house in wonderful location

There really is nothing missing in this lovely house. It's a wonderful spot from which to explore the Alpujarras with a walk across the valley starting just outside the front door, and so many other beautiful villages within walking distance. We were so pleased to be free from the more intensive tourism in the bigger towns and couldn't have wanted anything more.

Great little house in a wonderful remote village

This is a lovely place to enjoy the Alpujaras and all the time have to offer. The traditional house with its superb views of the mountain opposite is a great space. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Lynch

Hi
Most people ask how long I have been here. The answer is 21 years - and I only came here for a month originally, so beware this place is addictive; I have clients who have just made their 19th visit.
Ferreirola is a tiny village in the mountains about an hour 15 minutes from Granada but actually a world away.Visitors have compared the area to Nepal or the Atlas mountains but, to me, it is an unique haven from the world, - beautiful, safe, with clear air and light and populated by real people.
Come here if you love walking, mountains, or just lazing in the sun and reading. We have a great collection of books.
Mostly you will find that you just sit and stare at the scenery in amazement and listen to the silence - possible from the terrace of one of the bars in the nearby villages!
