Orgiva holiday apartment: Orgiva

My fiance and I booked a week in October. Right from the start Zoe was more than accommodating in my frequent off the wall questions, date changes and even went to immense trouble to try and find me a local cheesemaking course. Nigel and Zoe's presence is unobtrusive but reassuring.

The apartment is a couple of miles from Orgiva down a narrow road (with some rather worrying gullies down the sides - something to do with the irrigation system, I think) but the road is very quiet and as with all the other roads in the area, despite how hair-raising they look, are well maintained and the local drivers courteous.

I seldom enjoy holidays that have this level of relaxation but both John and I found that we totally absorbed the atmosphere almost as soon as we arrived. We got there extremely late due to flight delays but Zoe and Nigel were there to greet us and give us a full guided tour of the property.

Their attention to detail and design is both subtle but painstaking - and the Moorish theme tastefully carried on throughout the property.

The apartment had everything you would need for a comfortable stay and we were heartened to find a welcome bottle of wine and loaf of bread when we arrived. This had been thoughtfully provided and these little touches were what makes this property stand out.

Having the pool virtually to ourselves was heaven - and spending the day watching the birds and listening to the insects buzzing - bliss. The flies are irritating but unavoidable and don't detract from any of the experience.

There are things to do nearby, Lanjaron and Granada for example are in easy driving distance but we talked ourselves out of many excursions just to swim and chill. Honestly, that's how you feel after a day's relaxation.

What more is there to say. Book it, you won't be disappointed. 10/10!

I just wanted to share with other potential holiday makers details of the most wonderful place to stay in Spain.

Because we live in Australia, this summer we wanted to get together with all of our UK relatives for a week somewhere different and we found it.

This property is just out of this world. It has character, style and wonderful grounds which were perfect for enjoying a glass of cold champagne in the early evening watching the sun set.

We stayed from 14 June to 24 June and the weather was lovely and hot but we could still see snow capped mountains from the swimming pool which was amazing.

The owners, Nigel and Zoe, couldn't be more helpful and they really made sure that our stay was perfect. I would recommend the property to all holiday makers whether you're looking for a big family get together or romantic break.

The property has all different sorts of accommodation which meant that all of our group got exactly what they wanted.

You do need a car of your own to get out and about but it's well worth it as the countryside is so authentic and gives you a real feel of Spain.

And it only takes about 35-40 minutes to get to the Coast and a wonderful game of golf!

For those of you looking to explore Spain, well away from the coastal areas that have become like Blackpool with sun, this is the place to go. We are already talking about booking another trip later this year to see what it's like in Winter.

The property is fantastically well maintained and every room is clean and well serviced. The cooking facilities were excellent and we had no problems keeping all 10 people in our group well fed.

The property has a pool and plenty of room for the kids to play and run around in the sun. We also enjoyed the satellite TV so we could keep up with world news and the sports results for the boys.

We enjoyed the property so much we didn't eat out that much but on the days we did go exploring, we found some fantastic and authentic Spanish restaurants where we got to try the local food which was inexpensive and very tasty.

All in all, we couldn't find anything to fault about this property and can definitely recommend it as we believe its a 10 out of 10 kind of place!

One of the nicest places I have stayed in! Such attention to details, such a warm welcome, a great location to relax and unwind and forget all homely duties. Would recommend it to my friends without a doubt and will be back again!
