What an amazing house!!!!
We loved every moment of our holiday, and really didn't want to come back to the UK.
Finally got to grips with the layout, which is fun and quirky, and the master bedroom is just charming. Didn't realise we had to venture over a small ford to park in front of the property, so would suggest you consider this when hiring a car - then again saying that, we had a Corsa and managed OK.
Casa Rosada is so seculded, peaceful and beautiful, we really didn't want to leave. As we were at the house for 2 weeks we had a night away in Granada, and as amazing as it was, we just wanted to get back to the tranquility we'd so quickly become accustomed to.
It's a real home from home, and Carmen was so helpful, even when we arrived quite late on the Saturday night due to delays whilst travelling.
We are definitely going to book another week next year, as we've truly never been this relaxed after a holiday.
The region of The Alpujarras is beautiful and unspoilt. Listen out for the goats who come down to graze, just one of the magical memories we have from our time in Orgiva. Venture up to the Sierra Nevada and it's sleepy white washed villages, and make sure you sample the local jamon, a real treat.
Casa Rosada has everything you need, and the pool was such a welcome addition in the afternoon sun. We were lucky to have a full two weeks excellent weather, but with plenty of natural shade in the garden, we made the most of our long leisurely lunches.
Booking the property was so easy too, with excellent communication from the owner.

Owner's Response: Actually, usually there is no water in the ford after the end of March or April and until mid November. This year, we have been blessed with a lot of snow, so there was some water from the melting snow, most unusual in June. But lovely to see the snowy peaks until mid summer, while swinning in the pool...
