Holiday apartment on a small organic holding between Mecina and Ferreirola, Las Alpujarras, Andalucia
Traditional, moorish style apartment, sleeps 3 in La taha de Pitres. With small "splash pool", shared with other holiday guests.
The beautiful small holding, nestling within its own 5000 square metres of organically managed land, filled with olive trees and an abundance of colourful wild flowers and plants, is situated above the village of Ferreirola in the heart of the Alpujarra Natural Park (approximately 900 metres above sea level). The house is the ideal retreat for nature lovers and a great starting point for some stunning treks and walks through the nearby countryside and villages of the area known as La Taha.
Casita al Cielo is one of the two apartments on the holding. It has a seperate entrance as well as a separate peaceful terrace to enjoy privacy.
The apartment is furnished and decorated with excellent taste and attention to detail, inspired by traditional moorish style and elegance from the perfect blends of tone and colour of the rooms to the skilfully tiled bathrooms.
Also, there is a free wireless Internet connection available.
The garden surrounding the apartment is a delight. Amidst an array of jasmine, lavender and marigolds, the olive, almond, fig and cherry trees provide ample shade for relaxing, in a hammock or garden chair, in a totally calm and peaceful environment surrounded by spectacular views of the mountain landscape. Passing cars are scarce and the only sounds are the clucking of the resident chickens, happily pecking around in the lower terraced garden.
A small "splash-pool" and sun loungers are available!
The holding is reached by a 50 metre driveway (quite steep but perfectly accessible by car) leading up to the parking area from where there is a 70 metre footpath leading through part of the garden and down to the house.
The nearest place for shopping, banks and medical supplies is the village of Pitres, 15 minutes drive away. There are various bars and restaurants, including one vegetarian, in the nearby village of Mecina, 10 minutes walk away. The beaches of the Costa Tropical and Granada are about 1½ hours drive.
