This is our 5th visit to this Villa. We love the court yard and gardens.
The Villa is spacious and with all the amenities needed to cook and eat in.
A+
The property is really spacious, beautiful and full of character. We were a three generation family group of 5 and it was perfect for us - a great base for exploring the Alpujarras and a really comfortable home for those who preferred a more leisurely holiday. The pool was especially appreciated.
Loved the house. The garden is magical and the pool stunning, lots of lovely places to sit and eat outside. I especially liked my room at the end with the onsuite bathroom, gorgeous decor and tiles. Only one issue which is the 2 central bedrooms were abit too hot at night, aircon in those would really help.. would book again. Maybe the dark blue doesn’t help?
I cannot fault the accuracy of the description of the property. The garden and pool are lovely ace the villa is very spacious ace clean inside.
The outside tables had take clothes on them which required a wash down, but the garden was a wonderful place to relax in. Orgiva is quite a good base to see other places, but there are windy roads before you get anywhere! Overall, a good place to go and chill.
Better than the photos, a serene and beautifully decorated home which felt just like the holiday we wanted. Great communication with the owner on every occasion (inc her very kind help when our toddler fell poorly and we needed medicine). Really over and above in every aspect. Would return very happily. Thank you!

Standard far below what we expected.
After we paid for this stay we were advised all used toilet paper should be put in a bag and not flushed down toilet. If we had been told this before we booked we would not have stayed there. There were ants all over the kitchen worktops every day. The house was not clean at all, main shower especially. When we arrived there was no hot water to the main area. We were expected to pay for the gas cylinders if the gas ran out, but fortunately the pool man came and sorted this out. The furniture was very poor and scruffy. The only good thing about the house was the garden and pool. The road to the house was a one track road and a nightmare if a car was coming in opposite direction, be prepared for damages to the car. We would definitely not stay here again, it was pretty dire.
Very lovely but perhaps not exactly what I was expecting, the house is very charismatic and specious and owners and staff on call to assist at a few moments notice, has many lovely features. I found ( in my personal opinion) that the garden wasn’t all that private and referring to some of the complaints I read in another review it is true that the Wi-Fi seems to struggle even though it was just me using it. The location of the house could hardly be described as the slums as someone else did , the house is well located for peace and quiet but it is true that the road is a bit tight at times and not well kept by the town’s council. There is plenty of cooking knives. The garden is beautiful but unfortunately not knowing exactly when the gardener is going to turn up doesn’t really let you relax , the gardener did turn up on the last day and left the garden the way I would have wanted to find it on arrival but still it is a pretty garden. Of all the properties I have rented in the past perhaps this one I wouldn’t choose again but you have to understand that this is due to very personal reasons and taste. A property I absolutely loved before had poor reviews by other previous users. Long story short, visit this property because I m sure a family with children might find it quite safe and disconnecting. A group of friends… don’t know. Orgiva surprisingly seems to have an issue with homeless and even drugs, I saw things I did not expect in Andalucía at all. Good, just not for me.
Een ideale plek om tot rust te komen: veel ruimte, zowel binnen als buiten. Prachtig uitzicht op de bergen. Mooie natuur en wandelroutes in de omgeving en ook toeristische trekpleisters als Granada zijn goed te berijden (met de auto). Voor herhaling vatbaar.
La casa, espectwctacular, estaba bastante sucia, en especial la cocina, utensilios y horno, inutilizables. La dueña se hizo cargo cuando le enviamos fotos y limpiaron, aunque lo mínimo y justo para poder estar
Nous avons passé un moment extraordinaire avec notre famille et amis dans cette superbe maison !! Tout y est pour se sentir au mieux ! Nous avons pu visiter de nombreux villages autour ainsi que Grenade et Málaga.Merci à notre hôte 👍👍

We hadden heerlijk verblijf in deze prachtige villa, die heel origineel is ingericht. Het is rustig gelegen en de tuin en terrassen zijn zalig! In de omgeving veel mooie en uitdagende wandelingen te doen. Orgiva is mooi, Lanjoron vonden wij nog mooier. Heerlijk genoten dus!
Das Haus und seine Einrichtung haben eine individuelle und charmante Athmosphäre, kein Ikea-Standard. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Garten ist traumhaft schön und der Pool ist groß und sauber. Alles wird regelmäßig geplegt. Es gibt aureichend Sonnenliegen, viel Platz zum Chillen und natürliche Schattenplätze unter Bäumen und Palmen. Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr ruhig am Ende einer Sackgasse, es gibt fast keinen Autoverkehr, man hört höchstens ein paar Hunde bellen. Da wir während einer extremen Hitzewelle von bis zu 40 Grad da waren, hätten wir uns über eine Klimaanlage gefreut. Es gibt zwar Ventilatoren in jedem Raum, aber bei diesen Temperaturen konnten sie nicht für ausreichend Abkühlung sorgen.
Der Ort Orgiva ist okay, es gibt einige Supermärkte und Restaurants, aber in der näheren Umgebung kann man deutlich schönere Orte besuchen. Die Lage ist generell gut für Ausflüge. Mit dem Auto erreicht man viele interessante Ziele in 1 bis maximal 2 Stunden. Zum Wandern gibt es in den Bergen der Alpujarra sehr viele Möglichkeiten. Zum Baden findet man an der Küste eine große Auswahl an Stränden, meistens Kiesstrände, man muss aber gut 45 Minuten fahren.
Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern Sue & Martin war sehr angenehm und hat immer schnell und gut geklappt. Vielen Dank!
Sue y Martin fueron muy amables. Respondieron rápidamente a todos nuestros mensajes y complacieron nuestras peticiones.
La casa tiene un jardín enorme y muy bien cuidado. También tiene una piscina de buen tamaño que lamentablemente no pudimos usar por estar fuera de temporada, pues fuimos en diciembre. El area social sala.-comedor-cocina es muy amplia. Eramos 8 adultos y había espacio para todos. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y hay camas para acomodar perfectamente a 8 adultos y un niño. También cuenta con tres baños completos.
La casa está a las afueras del pueblo de Órgiva, a unos 4 minutos en coche. Se le accede por una carretera estrecha. Hay puesto para aparcar al lado de la casa donde se pueden acomodar dos coches, y hasta tres si son pequeños,
La ubicación de la casa está genial, pues está a poca distancia de muchos sitios de interés. Además de ser un buen punto de partida para visitar los pueblos de La Alpujarra, queda a menos de una hora de la ciudad de Granada y de pueblos en la costa, como Salobreña.
En general, tuvimos una grata experiencia.
This is our 4th time renting this property and we absolutely love the place. It’s a little sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of life. We will be coming back again.

Lovely house with character
If you are looking for an experience In the nature. This is for you! Charming house with personality. Modest infrastructure. Garden and pool are lovely
Una casa maravillosa, preciosa, en torno a un patio con entrada individual a las habitaciones. Con una magnífica y detallista decoración de objetos y muebles antiguos.
El jardín es fascinante, bien cuidado, con una piscina estupenda, con tumbonas y hamacas para disfrutarlo. Tiene muchos rincones encantadores. Una acacia ornamental de flores amarillas y varios olivos centenarios, ofrecen sombra y dan mucho encanto al patio y jardín.
La cocina y salon, estupendos.
En general la casa está bien equipada. Solo una pega, no había ni un solo cuchillo para cocinar!! Espero que lo tengan en cuenta para recibir a los próximos inquilinos.
La hora de salida a las 10 am es excesiva en España
Por lo demás muy recomendable!!! Hemos disfrutado muchísimo de nuestra estancia
We had a lovely time in this pretty, Moorish style Alpujarran house on the outskirts of Orgiva. There is a fantastic view from the garden of nearby mountains. We enjoyed the pool even though it was early season and a bit chilly. We did have a number of warm days. We did quite a few walks in the Alpujarras; and Granada and the Alhambra were spectacular and within easy reach (but must be pre-booked weeks in advance).
