Cozy cottage hidden in tropical gardens in the Guadalfeo Valley, Alpujarra

We really liked the contrasting colours of the little casita's amber walls in contrast to the different greens of the vegetation that surround it. The porch next to the main entrance has a built-in bench as well as furniture for outdoor dining; this will undoubtedly be another intimate space where you choose to spend a lot of time.

Upon entering the interior of the house, we find a single open space for the living room-dining room-kitchen, not very large but well organized and decorated with good taste. It is certainly welcoming. The three spaces are distinguished, the sofa in front of the wood stove, the intimate dining area and the handy kitchen.

We found the interiors very pleasant and the bedrooms were inviting; the double bed is 1.50 meters. Although the accommodation is simple, it is stylish and pleasing and is properly equipped for four people. We would happily stay here to relax and unwind, whilst surrounded by nature.

The location is great for organizing day trips. The photogenic white villages of La Alpujarra and the beaches of the Costa Tropical are just half an hour's drive away. An hour away is monumental Granada. Here, you can visit the typical Arab neighbourhood of the Albaycin with its winding cobblestone streets, the mythical neighbourhood of Sacromonte or the emblematic Alhambra, three of the many beautiful and historical spots to enjoy in this magical city, famous for its culture and gastronomy, with the hallmark of good tapas.

Órgiva, the capital of the Alpujarra region (Granada) is only 1.5 km away, perhaps not entirely practical for walking, although almost! The character of Órgiva will surprise you due to its eclectic mix of cultures, a place that has attracted people from all over the globe while still preserving its Alpujarrean essence.
