Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Alora, Spain

Relax in the grounds which are maintained by a grounds keeper. Breath in the fresh air, help yourself to the organic oranges, lemons and vegetables when in season. Take in the beauty of the surrounding mountain side or simply just top up your tan in style by the pool. A definite for those who love long country walks, exploring the Andalucia lakes and mountain side, or simply just pure peace and tranquillity. With all the comforts and charms of what Andalucia offers, you would definitely not be disappointed with a stay at Maria’s.

As with Christmas, Easter is a special and important time in Spain's social calendar. As a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, Spain throws all its might into observing and celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus, the most important date in the Christian year. Easter festivities in Spain begin on Palm Sunday, as Lent begins to draw to a close and the Passion of Jesus is observed. In many parts of the country, the entire week before Easter (Semana Santa, or 'Holy Week') is one big celebration, full of religious as well as secular festivals. On Good Friday the square in Alora comes alive with hundreds of people watching the procession of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. As in any Spanish festival, food and music are central to the celebration. All in all Alora has everything to offer, why not come and judge for yourself.

At Casa Maria's you will experience a completely different world- the real Spain. Alora is a classic white village typical of the area. Water runs constantly from two taps in the village where a continuous flow of people come to fill up their containers with spring water. Los Caballos is the local resturant/bar that comes alive at night and is within walking distance of the cottage. Within 25 minutes drive from the cottage you will find beautiful turquoise El Chorro lakes surrounded by pine trees where you can swim, fish and hire pedalos or canoes. The National Park is one of the most famous European climbing areas, boasting over 650 climbs. Due to its location, rock climbing is possible throughout the winter. The routes are mostly hard climbs, which is why El Chorro attracts rock climbers from around the world. Bird-watchers will enjoy a trip to Fuente de Piedra, one of the largest natural lagoons in Spain where flamingos come to breed.

Review Submitted: October 14, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Dear Sir,
The description of this property was oké. We only had some problems in finding the entrance, but that could be because of the darkness when we arrived. When we wanted to go for a sight seeing or go to the supermarket we took another road.The cleaning could better, but was oké compairing other houses we had in the past as well as the maintenance.The owner gave us perfect customer service. and we would recomment this property to a friend as well as family. We did our own cooking as we are cooking fanatics. The waterpool was a nice and great and clean one, also around the pool we had place enough.The sun beds could be better as they were quite old. There are enough restaurants in the area. We were surrounded by natural parcs and we do like this kind of sight seeing. Most of the time we stayed at the house for sun .

Review Submitted: May 23, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
On our first day the 'groundsman' flooded one half of the garden with foul smelling water, the smell lasted 2 days. Not to be outdone he flooded the other side while we had lunch on Wednesday, thankfully no smell. Outside seat covers threadbare and torn, shillied areas covered in weeds.If the bar is within walking distance there must be another route other than 2km down a fairly busy road but no mention of that, or any emergency numbers, police, doctor etc.No mention of local market day.Inside was clean enough, shower good and plenty hot water.Peaceful through the day but the local dogs will serenade you at night. Finally on Thursday a local estate agent turns up, unannouced to show people round, as the property is for sale.We would have been very disappointed to have rented in highseason and cannot recommend this property, which is a shame because it has potential to be very good.
Owner's Response: The land can only be watered at certain times of the year for the lemons and orange trees to grow which is controlled by the local water board. Sorry for any smell caused by this. There is an information pack with all useful telephnoe numbers and excursions. The groundsman tel: number is also available if I am not around. Outside cushions will be replaced shortly. There is 3 entrances to the property. To get to the local bar by car is 5mins or a 20mins walk. I was told that the viewing was ok, because long term lets are also available.
