Photos and Description of this Orgiva holiday villa This self-catering property, reflects the ambiance of the Alhambra Palace

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.

Excellent location, amazing hosts

PopeyeTX Texas, USA
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family spent the better part of a week at apaprtment Castano and loved every minute.

Zoe and Nigel couldn't have been better hosts. They were great while we were planning our trip with information on the property and local attractions and always available while there to help.

Our kids really enjoyed the pool, gardens and games and it was a great relaxing location in the middle of a long Spain holiday.

Having come from the US for this trip we couldn't have been happier.
Owner's Response: You certainly didn't waste any time while you were here! You managed to get to so many of the attractions that you may feel you need another holiday! So pleased you all enjoyed it and thank you for the review.

Perfect tranquility

Paulnorthener Cheshire, UK
Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Our stay in the apartment Castano was simply perfect. The apartment was beautifully fitted out, the garden was a delightful place to relax and we very much enjoyed walking in the immediate area which is so peaceful. Waking in a morning to the calls of the Hoopoes is to be in another world. We can truly recommend a holiday in this beautifully restored villa for anybody wanting to relax away from the busy day to day world.
Owner's Response: Thank you for these comments. We love it when guests get the same enjoyment out of the area as we do. We are constantly updating and thinking of new ways to make the accommodation even better!

Our stay at the Villa Castano

bowdon altrincham
Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We stayed at the villa in September with my eight year old son. The accommodation was spotless and Nigel and Zoe were very welcoming. We arrived in the early evening after a long drive and my son was delighted to be able to jump straight in the pool! We only stayed one night, as we were breaking our journey before flying home the next day, but we wished we could have stayed longer. We spent a very relaxing evening outside, as it was still very warm, and Nigel helped my son pick grapes, which he was very impressed with!

I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment, and we hope to return for a longer visit.
Owner's Response: We look forward to seeing you all again here really soon. Maybe during the season when you can pickeither pomegranates, peaches, almonds, walnuts, oranges or lemons from the trees, your son would be even more impressed with that!

New Year in Las Alpujarras

veetee Altrincham, Cheshire, UK
Review Submitted: March 23, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family and I stayed at this wonderful property for the first week in January 2009. I can't recommend it enough. Every detail was perfection - the warm Moorish courtyard with wonderful authentic tiles, large heated outdoor swimming pool surrounded by trees which was inviting even in January and a cosy log fire at night. The orchard was full of oranges and lemons which our hosts made into jams & preserves, cakes & fruit drinks (which were served at breakfast and later with tea and locally made bread). We explored the surrounding area in the daytime, on foot, horseback and on bicycles, and returned home to enjoy comfortable and relaxing evenings where our hosts were on hand to help with planning the next day's activities or just to chat about local characters, folklore and attractions. If you want a holiday in the mountains in a rural location which isn't too far from Granada and less than an hour from the coast, I'd highly recommend this property. VJT
Owner's Response: It was lovely to meet you all and glad you were able to fit so much in during your week here. The pool, though always looks inviting and because the weather can very often be up to 25 degrees during the day, you are forgiven for thinking the pool was heated! The beauty for us about this area is that Granada is only 1 hour away and the beach half an hour, Look forward to seeing you all again next time.

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.
