Photos and Description of this Acequias holiday apartment Country house near Granada, quiet & sunny with walled garden, patios and pool.

Casa Tia Maria lies in the unspoilt tranquil village of Acequias. Near Granada, this village is set in the hills and overlooks the Valley of Lecrin, renowned for its orange and lemon groves, fed by the springs of the Sierra Nevada. This is one of the most attractive valleys in Andalucia - where the donkey is still a familiar means of transport - and it occupies a prime position relative to the beach, mountains and sightseeing. Acequias is only 25 minutes from Granada, the romantic Moorish city famous for its history, flamenco and the extraordinary Alhambra Palace, 30 minutes from the beaches of the Costa Tropical, and 45 minutes from Europe´s sunniest snow peaks and the Alpujarras ( 'Driving Over Lemons'). Each season has its flowers in Sierra Nevada - almond blossom in February, brilliant red poppies in May and bougainvillea in high summer. The countryside is wonderful for walking, horse-riding, mountain-biking, skiing, birdwatching and golf, and it has the clearest skies in Europe!

Details for El Balcon 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 5

El Balcon is located on the ground floor of the west wing of Casa Tia Maria. It is a spacious apartment with a large balcony overlooking the garden. Entering from the large sunny patio you have the choice of going into the kitchen dining area which gives on to the balcony, or turning right into the living room, from where you can walk to the double bedroom past the bathroom. The decor of the apartment is simple and elegant, as you would expect from an Andalucian country house with many centuries of antiquity. The living room has a double sofabed and is large enough to accommodate another single bed too if you wish to sleep the family there (we charge a supplement for this). The kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooker and electric oven, microwave, and fridge freezer. The washing machine is in the bathroom. The large balcony has a Moroccan mosaic tile table and chairs for up to six people if you feel like entertaining. The view from here also takes in the pool & the mountains behind.

The Lecrin Valley, apart from being a great place to enjoy rural Andalucia and the best scenery, is also superbly located to see a number of prime attractions. The Alhambra, the most famous Moorish castle and palace in the world, is 20 mins drive from us, and the attractions of its city, Granada, are there for you to enjoy - the Cathedral and Capilla Real, the Science Park, tapas bars, the music festival, beautiful Carmens of the Albaicin Moorish Quarter, Flamenco clubs in the caves of Sacramonte. Compare with Cordoba and Sevilla. Elsewhere near Acequias you have the Costa Tropical with two famous castles - Salobreña and Almuñecar - overlooking beaches and sugar cane fields. Both have old towns with twisty cobbled streets hiding patios and bars. The Sierra Nevada, well known as a ski resort, also glisten invitingly as you look inland from the coast. The Alpujarras on the south facing slopes of the Sierra Nevada abound with lush vegetation and provide the best walking in Spain.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Acequias, Spain

Skiing: Acequias is 50 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski slopes. It is an ideal location for a group who are 'fairweather' skiers, that is people who like to go skiing when the slopes are uncrowded and the weather clear, but are not bound to go every day. The accessibility to Granada, the Alpujarras and the Costa Tropical are all great advantages for those seeking a day´s alternative to skiing. The manager on-site can brief you as to how the ski resort works, what to do about car parking, times and places to avoid etc.

Walking and Hiking: The Lecrin Valley is situated at the western end of the Sierra Nevadas, so there are many walks passing through the Sierras and around the foothills which pass through the village, including the GR-7 trans-European pathway which traverses Spain from Algeciras eastwards, eventaully reaching Athens! There are a number of walking groups with a friendly open policy towards visitors, normally these groups walk on Sundays. However there are plenty of documented walks for hikers of all abilities to enjoy whatever the season. These can be within the Valley itself, such as the beautiful river walk along the Rio Conchar to Melegis, or between the Valley and the Alpujarras, such as the walk from Acequias to Lanjaron, the famous Spa town. This latter walk is long (four hours) and there are buses leaving from Lanjaron which can bring the hiker back to Lecrin again afterwards.

Other Activities: Golf, sailing, paragliding, windsurfing and diving all nearby on the coast, skiing in Sierra Nevada

Reviews for this holiday apartment rental in Acequias, Spain

Rating
5 out of 5

Pretty village close to Grananda

MartyfromBoston Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Review Submitted: March 11, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
I stayed at El Balcon in June of 2007. Acequias is a lovely little village. The only thing that could disturb you is the rush of water through the irrigation system for which the town is presumably named. The irrigation troughs run under the streets and create a relaxing sound from the flow of the water. The unit itself is a little rustic which is not surprising in this village setting. It is well equipped and we especially appreciated the washing machine. This owner also has a modern apartment in downtown Granada which can be also be rented to make a great mix of some days in town and some days in the country. This is what we did and enjoyed it immensely.
