Moorish Style Luxury Holiday Home with Pool, Orgiva, Las Alpujarras
Nestling among the olive groves of Tijola, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the villa Castaño, is a quiet and peaceful retreat. 2 kms from the market town of Orgiva, the white washed Berber villages, can be found clinging to the southern slopes of Spain’s highest mountain range. These were the last outposts of the Moors after the fall of Granada in the 16th century. Made famous in the early 1900's by Gerald Brennan with his book 'South from Granada' and more recently described by Chris Stewart in his best selling book 'Driving Over Lemons' and his sequel “Parrot in a Pepper Tree”, this rural area offers peace and tranquillity with easy access to bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Just 1 hour south of Granada and 2 hours east of Malaga, with the coast and golf only 35 minutes away and skiing in the winter, just 1 hour 15 minutes, the villa has been designed with the 16th century Alhambra Palace in mind, but with all the luxuries and comforts of the 21st century.

Featured Review
Rosy and Pat. One night too short.
Pat & Rosy, Matlock, Derbyshire. UK
Review Submitted: October 11, 2008, Date of stay: September, 2008
Some how we managed to arrive at about 1pm. If Nigel was thrown by this he didn't show it, and made us feel at home from the start, eg cup of tea, swimming pool made ready. There was even table tennis!
On his recommendation we drove out to Pampaneira in the Alpujarras for an evening meal which was excellent value - a stunning drive and village.
Excellent accomodation with spotless rooms and a beautiful garden. We would love to have stayed longer but a tight schedule prevented this. Highly recommended.
Owner's response:
We hope that you are able to come and stay for longer next time! Thank you for the review, we really do are utmost to ensure that everyone finds what they are looking for when they come and stay.
