villa rental in ORGIVA, Alpujarras, Costa Tropical - Granada

Why Las Alpujarras?

Come and explore the dramatic landscape of the snow capped Sierra Nevada Mountains visit the scenic whitewashed villages and sample their locally cured hams, pottery and handwoven rugs. Admire the Moorish architecture in Granada, including the stunning Alhambra Palace, Cordoba and Jaen. Ski in the morning, discover sunsoaked Mediterranean beaches in the afternoon and sample tapas bars and restaurants in the evenings. Fiestas abound!
Alternatively, chill! Lounge by the private walled and gated pool, take in the panoramic views and the perfumed blossom from our orange and lemon trees and neighbouring groves. End the day with a fine Rioja, the company of cicadas and marvel at the crystal clear starlit sky. There is always manana...

Where Are We?
The Villa is situated in Tijola, in the campo (countryside), about 3 kms from Orgiva, the market centre of the Western Alpujarras. The local town has an impressive Baroque church and a selection of banks, internet cafes, interesting shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. There is very much an alternative feel here, with many health treatments such as massage, aromatherapy, reiki, iridology etc available. A colourful market draws many to the town every Thursday.
