About this property

Country cottage with large swimming pool in Sierra Nevada National park.

We do not accept any guest who has been recognised by ICC as being part of any Genocide or supporting one in the world.

This charming cottage has many wonderful Moorish features including flat stone ceilings and a bathroom which is a converted Moorish bread oven. The bathroom has both a shower and bath. There is a fireplace and 2 sofas in the sitting room with the kitchen at the far end with gas oven, fridge etc. There is also a small dining table and seats for 4 people. There are 2 bedrooms, one with 2 single beds and the other with a double bed. This bedroom also has its own mini terrace, totally private and only with access from the bedroom. The thick walls of this cortijo keep it beautifully cool in the summer months.

Outside the cortijo there is a large covered secluded wooden terrace for exclusive use of guests staying in this cortijo, surrounded by grapes and fig trees with ample room for relaxing and eating. It has panoramic views to the Trevelez valley in the East and South to the coast. There is also a barbeque area directly outside the house as well as a hammock, both next to the terrace. It is only a short walk from the swimming pool. The large pool is filled from a natural spring water stream. Please note that the swimming pool is shared between this cottage and 2 other detached cottages but you will hardly ever find other people by the pool as often guests spend a day at the beach or visiting Granada or hiking locally.

This coritjo is ideal for a family of 4. The large lawn provides ample space for running about and playing games and the garden connects directly with the national park which makes hiking easy and accessible. Guests are encouraged to wander freely and explore.
There is also a peaceful shaded area with various 500 year old chestnut trees, ideal for meditation, yoga and relaxation.

About the host

Hosted by Mohammad Fini

Host profile image
I am the founder of Tumi ( Latin American Crafts), Tumi Music and Tumi productions. Though I am an Anglo-Iranian national, I have spent most of my life in Latin America in search of Music and crafts and have written several books on Latin America including The Weavers of ancient Peru, Portrait of Latin America, co-author of Cuban Dictionary ( University press- USA) and together with my wife Lucy The arts and crafts of South America(Thames and Hudson-UK).
We both love travelling, investigating and learning from the many different cultures of Latin America.
We have travelled across South America on a motor bike, a Landrover and once crossed the Andes with 2 donkeys over a period of 11 months.
We love meeting people of different cultures and speak various languages including Spanish, English, Persian and a good knowledge of Portuguese. I even learnt to speak the Inca Language “Quechua”.

Why they chose this property

We love the sun and there is plenty of that in Southern Spain. I had a business for 25 years in Costa del Sol in southern Spain and during those years, I became familiar with this part of Spain. As we got older, we wanted a quiet place for peace and tranquillity, a place where we could embrace nature without noise and cars, a place we could eventually retire to. Hence the Alpujarras in Sierra Nevada. Over 20 years ago, we found this land with several cortijos , stone cottages in Moorish language. They all needed serious attention. So we spent the first 10 years doing them up, growing fruit trees and establishing a vineyard. It's an on-going project as new ideas develop and we spend more time here.

What makes this property unique

Cortijos Rey Fini is unique as it is in the heart of the national Park and perhaps it is the only place in the entire Alpujarras that shares all borders with the national park. We have plenty of water from the peaks of Mulhacen mountain which is a true gift in this part of the world. We are approx 1500 m above sea level meaning even in the hottest months of the year it never gets too hot.
We are only an hour or so from many beautiful Mediterranean beaches and the same distance from Granada and Alhambra. We are surrounded by beautiful scenery with lots of hiking paths and stunning views and wildlife.
Ultimately it is the perfect place to relax, unwind and take a step back from every day life.
