This is a romantic holiday cottage, although part of a complex with 3 other cottages, is secluded, with fantastic panoramic views. It has all the charm and character of the other 3 ancient buildings that have been recreated as holiday cottages on this 3 hectare organic finca (farm) in the mountains at the heart of Andalucia. It is air-conditioned and centrally heated, the cottage has a living/dining room with log stove, terracotta floors, rugs, satellite TV (LCD screen), DVD, CD player, and lots of books.
There is access to an extensive terrace with a barbecue, and also a tiny flower-filled inner patio. The large terrace overlooks the olive and lemon groves and beyond to the mountains. There is also a shared swimming pool.

Description:
This 3 hectare estate is uniquely situated on a tree covered ridge in the Alpujarra valley with 360-degree panoramic mountain views. These beautiful holiday cottages lie in a quiet and secluded corner of the "finca" which is set at an altitude of 480m (1500 ft). To the north rise the snow covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada , and to the south the majestic Sierra de Lujar and beyond the sparkling Mediterranean.
The area has a near perfect climate, producing olives and almonds, intermixed on the stepped terraces with oranges, lemons and pomegranates. Above the groves there are wild rocky hillsides, glorious with thyme, rosemary, gorse and broom from autumn to spring. The terraces of this finca look their best in March, April and May, when they rival an impressionist painting, dappled with poppies and borage amongst clovers and grasses.
There are two fishponds in the garden, plus the swimming pools and an irrigation 'alberca', so we attract a lot of bird life. The arrival of the swallows, followed by the bee-eaters is a joyful experience. Hoopoes dip over the terraces and eagles and other birds of prey swoop down from the mountains. There are fabulous walks from your door through the surrounding groves and beyond to the mountains or the Guadalfeo river.
Everything is done to make this finca as "green" as possible. Roofs are painted white to reflect sunlight, grey water is channelled into gardens, hot water comes from solar panels, the pools are cleansed by copper/silver purification anodes, air conditioning (extreme temperatures only) is from low energy heat pumps, and more.
