Photos and Description of this Ugijar holiday house 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6 but perfect for 2-4

A traditional 3 storey house situated in Valor, one of the prettiest villages in the Alpujarras, on the edge of the Sierra Nevada National Park, and within easy reach of Almeria and Granada airports. Situated in a friendly yet peaceful barrio, it is less than 5 minutes walk to the nearest bar and shop. And, wherever you are in the village, it's a downhill walk back home - a definite bonus on a hot day or after an evening out! There is vehicle access, with parking usually available right outside the front door. The previous owner ran a bar on the ground floor, called La Regadera (Watering Can) and the house is comfortably furnished in a rustic style, with many original features. Like many village houses, it is fairly 'open-plan', which gives it a spacious, light and airy feel. The house can sleep as many as 7 (very friendly!) people, but is ideal for 2 - 4. Valor is a perfect location for hill walking, painting, photography, birdwatching, astronomy .... or just relaxing!

La Alpujarra is an enchanting area, lying between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean. The landscape is full of whitewashed villages offering a glimpse of rural life that has changed little even with the advent of tourism. Much of the Alpujarra lies within the National Park of the Sierra Nevada, and has a wealth of wildlife and more indigenous wildflowers than any other European region. The area is excellent for both winter and summer activities such as walking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, trekking and horseriding. Renowned for the purity of its air and great sunshine record, the area is a popular retreat for Spanish families. Many books have been written about the area over the years, including 'South from Granada' by Gerald Brenan, and several by Chris Stewart. Valor itself is a very pretty, peaceful village of some 1000 inhabitants, situated at 900 metres above sea level, with a beautiful church, several bars and a lovely village pool (GOOGLE MAP WRONG!)

Additional information about rental rates

  • We bought the house because we fell in love with it and hope to spend a lot more time there in the future. For now, we need to keep working in order to pay for it, and want it to be lived in as much as possible. Since we see it as our home, it is probably furnished differently from most 'holiday cottages', and you are very welcome to make use of everything. If something runs out it would be nice if you could replace it, but don't worry if you don't have chance.

    Accidents happen, so if something gets broken or damaged don't worry. If it's crockery, glasses etc, it would help if you could just buy some new ones. If it's something larger like the TV just let us know so we can get it fixed.

    The house is looked after for us by Sylvi Cooper, who lives a few minutes away, and is on hand to offer help and advice if you should need it.

    Rental price includes electricity and gas, bed linen and towels.

    Changeover day flexible, so you can take advantage of low cost flights.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Ugijar, Spain

The ground floor (the former bar) has just been converted into a split level double bedroom, with a small lounge area in the lower section. It's the coolest part of the house, so perfect on hot summer nights, or for an afternoon siesta. With a wood-burning fireplace, (still in working order although we provide electric radiators for the winter) it's a great place to relax. The original bar area remains, complete with sink and bar stools! A tiled staircase leads to the middle floor, with a small but well equipped kitchen (gas cooker with oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, electric slow cooker, etc), a dining/living area (with TV, DVD player and hi-fi), large bathroom (with bath, shower, toilet and brand new (August 07) washing machine), a small but very quaint double bedroom (this is best described as an alcove, and the bed fills the width of the room - you'll find it very cosy if you're used to sailing or carvanning!) and a second toilet .

A fairly steep wooden staircase (with handrail) leads to the top floor, with a large open-plan bedroom with twin beds (screened off by a curtain) and ceiling fan, plus a folding bed. There is plenty of space for dressing, ironing (as if you would!) or clothes drying. There's also a new (June 2006) en-suite with shower, washbasin and WC, plus a second fridge (handy for keeping drinks in!) A door leads out onto the terrace, which has a dining table and chairs, sun loungers and a brushwood canopy for shade. There are spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, and it's a great place for eating, relaxing or just watching the sun go down over the mountains. If you would like some more information about the house or surrounding area, to help you decide if you'd like to stay in La Regadera, please contact us. We've put together an information pack that we would be happy to post or email to you.
