Villa with Private Pool, Surrounded by Mountains, Olive, Walnut and Orange Trees
The property sits in half an acre of mature olive, fig, walnut and orange trees with quiet sitting areas and a generous terrace enclosed by dry stone walls. A stunning swimming pool dramatically extends from one terrace level to the lower garden level. There is a shallow paddling area for children or those wishing to sit down and cool down, this is linked to the main swimming area by a gentle slope. The pool is filled from April to end of September and is not heated so may be a little chilly in April and September! The house has been stylishly renovated 50 square meters of living space with a wood burning fire for winter nights. Four french doors open the living space onto another 50 square meters of external terraced area for dining or sipping cocktails under the shade of the olive tree. The house is in a quiet location with mountain views all around. The property is a 5 min drive from Orgiva which is a lively small town with restaurants, markets and good food and wine shops.

We just spent a glorious 10 days at Casa Luca. The house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. The grounds are exceptional, plenty of shade, especially around the pool which made the hot weather more manageable with small children. The pool is a highlight with the views of the mountains. It was warm at night inside the bedrooms but this is to be expected in August and we managed ok. Thanks Sigi for great communication and a wonderful stay. We would love to return one day!

Hi Anna,
Thank you for the lovely review.
We're delighted that you and the children enjoyed our house and swimming pool.
You are always welcome at Casa Luca.
Sigi
A truly wonderful property which while close to the town, is far enough to make you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The house was so warm and inviting and Sigi was the perfect host, easy to contact and helpful. Would definitely book again.

The perfect holiday place!
Incredibly Casa Luca really is even better than it looks on the website! That’s true of the house - which has everything, all done to perfection - and of the peaceful, secluded and beautiful garden. And of course this perfect holiday house and garden has what has to be the best pool I’ve encountered in a rental to date. Add the ideal location and it has to be said this place can’t really be beaten!
Our 3 weeks in Sierra Nevada was perfect because of this cortijo. The house and garden were beautifully restored and maintained and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sigi for sharing your house with us.
Hi Jake and family,
Thanks for the whatsapp message. and the nice recommendation.
"We've had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house, garden and pool. Thank you!"
We have stayed in this house twice. It is a stunning house. The inside and outside are really beautiful, set in a stunning olive grove, it is a beautifully restored house.
Cooking on the barbecue and eating outside, after a relaxed day - just wonderful.
The pool area is really beautiful.
The house is an easy reach to Granada, Malaga and the surrounding beaches.
Sigi is a warm and lovely host 🥰
If you want a relaxing hol, in a beautiful house, we would absolutely recommend booking.

Hi Jo,
Thank you for your lovely review.
Sorry for the late reply, but had briefly missed it ;-). Normally I get a notification of this from VRBO.
Super that you enjoyed it so much. It is of course also our intention that our guests can enjoy and relax on their holiday.
Hope to see you soon.

My husband, son aged 14 and daughter aged 12 stayed at Sigi’s place for 14 nights. The setting is beautiful. The villa itself is simple and very stylish with everything you need. The pool is definitely the best pool we have ever had with the most amazing picture perfect backdrop. The children spent hours in it playing volleyball.
During our stay we did ‘El Caminito del Rey’ which was a great experience but it’s a bit of a drive (2 hours).
Closer by and definitely not to be missed, is the Alhambra and the Albaicín area of Granada.
We also went horse riding locally and did a sunset hike. Both great experiences.
Sigi’s place is a lovely to get away from it all. We didn’t really venture into Órgiva town centre much other than to get groceries as BBQing at the villa was so lovely. There are some picturesque little villages to visit which are only a 25 min drive away.
Sigi is a great host and responds quickly! Barney and his wife Sarah look after the pool and garden and Clara does the cleaning. All really great and lovely to chat to 😊

We had a really easy, peaceful and relaxing week at this beautifully furnished villa, set in a lush garden with stunning views of the mountains from the pool. Sigi, the owner has made Casa Luca feel like a home from home and was very helpful and responsive in communications.
The children were very happy playing in the pool and garden all day, with the odd trip to Orgiva for ice cream or lunch- there’s lots of choice. We had a couple of tasty meals at the campsite restaurant which is within walking distance, and enjoyed the nearby river which is a great little swimming spot. The kitchen was well equipped and there were numerous spots fir eating or drinking outside, we enjoyed some lovely alfresco meals in the shade of olive trees. There were 2 hammocks that we enjoyed having siestas or reading in, and the garden was not overlooked so felt very private.
We were there in the full heat of August with temperatures were in the high 30s; we would love to go back but would probably come when temperatures at night are cooler- the villa walls are lovely and thick so keep the warmth in very well but we found it too hot at night even with the fans on. Probably relating to the heat and nearby farm there were lots of flies around but the sprays provided helped a little. The kids would also have liked TV available in English but we loved getting away from the TV! I would have rated the property 5 stars if it wasn’t for these small issues.
Overall we had a great experience there, and found the villa comfortable and stylish, with everything in great working order, in a great location. Thanks so much Sigi!

Endroit extraordinaire avec une piscine sublime. Vue imprenable sur les montagnes. Si la chaleur vous rebute et que vous y séjournez fin juin ou en juillet, sachez qu’il n’y a pas d’air climatisé. Le reste est parfait, la cour est magnifique.
Wir waren über eine verlängerte Woche in Sigis Haus und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Zum einen ist es ein wunderbarer Ort, um zu verweilen. Die schöne Terrasse ist unter einem alten Olivenbaum mit Blick auf die schneebedeckte Sierra Nevada auf der einen Seite und den Höhenzug der Alpurras auf der andern sicherlich einer unserer Lieblingsplätze. Herrlich ist es auch oben am Pool gewesen. Es gibt einfach für jede Tageszeit sonnengeflutete oder beschattete Platz zum Verweilen. Nur eine kurze Autofahrt entfernt gibt es tolle Wanderwege, z.B. in Lanjaron oder auch direkt auf der anderen Flußseite. Mit dem Auto braucht man ca 1 Stunde nach Granada (wir waren 2 x dort) und ca. 30 Minuten an die Strände. Nach Malaga sind es etwa 90 Minuten. Einkaufen ist in Orgiva möglich, keine 5 Minuten entfernt. Im Haus fanden wir alles vor, was benötigt wurde. Alles war sauber und die Einrichtung sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll. Der Check Inn war völlig unkompliziert. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.

Vielen Dank, Felix, für die schöne Rezension.
Wir tun unser Bestes, um alle glücklich zu machen. Es ist immer angenehm und natürlich immer willkommen in Casa Luca.
Fijn huis, ook om in de winter te zijn (zoals in ons geval). Fijn terras bij het huis; heerlijk om in de zon buiten in te zijn. Voorzien van wat nodig is om er (in ons geval 2 weken) te zijn. Prima uitvalbasis om in omgeving te wandelen, paardrijden of (met 1 a 2 uur rijden) steden te bezoeken. Zwembad in de winter uiteraard niet in gebruik. Wandeling omhoog naar het dorp (Orgiva) neemt circa 35 minuten; waar je dan een heerlijk kop koffie met lekkers kunt nemen. Dorp Orgiva zelf ook fascinerend door mix van bewoners; ga het ontdekken.

Dankjewel Bart voor de mooie recensie.
Fijn te lezen dat jullie er hebben van genoten.
Altijd welkom, in de zomer is ons zwembad toegankelijk ;-)
In en rond Orgiva is er altijd wel iets te beleven...
Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances dans cette location. Le cadre est magnifique, le jardin est superbe et très bien entretenu, la piscine est très agréable , entourée d’oliviers, d’orangers et de figuiers, enfin la maison est très bien équipée. La charmante ville d’Orgiva est à côté, les promeneurs apprécieront les jolis chemins qui permettent de s’y rendre à pied en environ 40 minutes (en montée à l’aller).
A noter pour les personnes sensibles à la chaleur, la maison reste relativement chaude la nuit malgré les ventilateurs.

Bonjour Virginie,
Merci pour votre bell commentaire.
Nous sommes ravis que tout se soit bien passé pour vous.
En effet, la maison était chaude cet été, en raison de l'été exceptionnellement chaud. Le message est donc de garder les fenêtres et les portes fermées pendant la journée.
Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt.

Nous étions 8 amis, nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette incroyable villa ! Sigi et l’équipe sur place étaient vraiment à l’écoute et ont tout fait pour que notre séjour soit parfait ! Encore merci pour cette semaine incroyable :)

We were grandparents with our family-2 adults and 2 little ones.
The property was generous and comfortable. We felt Sigi had thought of every thing to make our stay easy. The photos were very accurate . The garden really was as pretty and entrancing as shown.

Thank you Sandar for the nice review. Just returned from a week in Orgiva... Together with my team, we do our best to give everyone a pleasant stay in "Casa Luca".
Super nette Vermieterin, tolles Haus mit Atmosphäre
Was soll ich sagen - trotz der schlechten Wetterbedingungen (Sahara Staub) hat Sigi alles ermöglicht, um uns den Aufenthalt so schön, wie möglich zu machen. Das Haus war uns 1 Woche lang ein super-gemütliches Zuhause. Danke dafür!

Hallo Illona, danke für die nette Bewertung.
Das Wetter (Regen und Saharastaub) war in der Tat nicht gut. Aber wir hatten ab und zu etwas Sonnenschein. Danke für die schönen Familienfotos, die Sie mir geschickt haben. Was für eine herzliche Familie.

This is a lovely villa, gardens and pool. We were two families with teenagers and the accommodation worked really well for us with enough space for everyone. Really well equipped kitchen and none of the usual chef's (me!) hassles with a rental property kitchen plus loads of fridge/freezer space for drinks/food and a top spec bbq.
Sigi was very accommodating and helpful; this holiday had been rearranged from 2020 due to covid.
Many thanks from us all
Ps. Big shout out to Barney and Clara too!
This was a wonderful property to stay at. We greatly enjoyed our family time away here in August. The landscape, the pool, and property are just beautiful. A perfect atmosphere. Thank you.

Really nice contemporary rustic villa.
It was very hot when we here but cool areas in the house and perfect for our daughters by the pool. Great pool with the kids pool perfect for our grandson. Villa suits a family like ours really well and liked being able to get into town so easily for eating out. Well supplied house with all we needed.
