The Orange Grove - a superb villa amidst abundant citruses & olives.

Spending time at The Orange Grove is one of life’s pleasures. Go through the gates and you enter a different world. Our guests frequently tell us how staying in our holiday properties enables them to relax and de-stress from day one, and this is never more true than at The Orange Grove. The villa is one of the grandest in the area, and radiates from a vine-covered central courtyard – itself a wonderful place to take yourself off to with a good book. From the entrance hall, in one direction you find the main living accommodation with 3 en-suite bedrooms; in the other, 2 further completely self-contained casitas, each with their own living areas, bathrooms, kitchenettes and secluded patios, making it extremely versatile. Head outside, and you realise this house was designed for entertaining. A huge chestnut-beamed Tinao gives way to the heated pool & lush garden - a full 2 acres in all - making this a great place to be in all seasons. And where is it? Only a 20 minute walk from Orgiva.

Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Orgiva, Sierra Nevada, Spain

Additional facilities and information

The Orange Grove is a fantastic property - we fell in love with it from the moment we saw it. It really is the best of all worlds - a perfect destination for groups of friends and couples, as well as families, to come and relax, get together by the pool, or, if you prefer, find the privacy of your own self-contained Casita with sunny terraces. The large plot of land surrounding the house, combined with the dense orange trees in the garden make it a very private, peaceful place to wile away the hours of sunshine all year round. Orgiva is only a few minutes away in the car for shopping, or a very pleasant stroll after an evening in town. The property can either be accessed to the north from Orgiva itself, past the pretty, closely-clustered cortijos of the La Estrella suburb of the town, or from the south along from the 'Seven Eye' bridge, following the Rio Guadalfeo. In the house, there is a good supply of books and magazines, along with a selection of board games.

Further afield

The Orange Grove is about 15 minutes drive from the villages of The High Alpujarra. Between these villages runs the famous GR-7 walking route, or, if you're feeling more adventurous, you could try tackling the high peaks of Mulhacen and Veleta at 3,400m altitude. Granada city, with The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens are only an hour away, while the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada is about 1 hour 20 minutes by car. Golf courses can be found about 40 minutes away, either on the coast, or on the way to Granada.

Local services

Orgiva has a weekly market every Thursday - great for fresh fruit and vegetables as well as herbs and spices. There are some excellent restaurants in town, and we will advise on all aspects of local life to enable guests to make the most of their holiday. We provide copies of The Rough Guide to Andalucia, as well as Jeremy Rabjohns's 'Holiday Walks in The Alpujarra' and detailed walking maps of the region which you can take with you whenever you're heading out and about. Finally, the oranges are in season from around early January until April. It goes without saying that when you're staying at The Orange Grove, you can help yourselves to as many as you like! Before that, at the tail end of the year, the orange blossom is glorious, strongly scenting the air, and eventually covering the garden with a carpet of white petals.
