Sustainable High Level Cave House, Private huge Garden Calm View Child safe Pool

Welcome to our Andalusian-Arabic cave country house in the middle of the evergreen mountains of the Alpujarra, the fertile southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, Spain's largest national park, diverse, beautiful, wild, unique, spoiled by 300 days of sunshine a year and blessed by a great abundance of water. The holiday home is partly built into the rock in a small valley on a southern slope, hidden in a quiet, lonely, rural location with a great view of the mountains and surrounded by blooming nature. It is nestled between orange and olive trees in an evergreen subtropical garden with a private, child-safe pool, a playground, a large barbecue and parking directly at the house.
Quietness, calm, green nature, the proximity to the village, the special child-friendliness and safety, good building fabric and quality equipment, the special flair of ancient architecture, good insulation, modern details, our services and our personal care make this holiday property the ideal place for a relaxed and unforgettable vacation.

Órgiva is only 1km away and can easily be reached by car in a few minutes or on foot in just 10 minutes. It is a 25 minute drive to the coast, 40 minutes to Granada and just over an hour to the Sierra Nevada ski resorts.

THE HOUSE
The whole house is built on one level and is made of very good quality throughout.
Both bedrooms have direct access to a large terrace covered by an ancient grape vine, which extends about the entire front of the house and provides pleasant shade in summer. The terrace in front of the living area is covered, in front of it there is a large sun terrace with sun loungers. Its 60 cm thick walls, a bedroom carved into the rock as a cave, its rustic open fireplace in the living room and its location between hundred-year-old olive trees give this Cortijo a very unique and exclusive ambience. To reach the back cave bedroom, one have to cross through the front twin bedroom. The pool (safe for children, 4m x 6.50m + baby area; March to November) is also completely private and exclusively available to you. It is surrounded by orange trees and a green lawn to relax on. There is a playground in the large garden.

FURNISHING
The house is characterized by its cozy interior, its good and high-quality equipment as well as an exceptionally good building structure and thermal insulation. This guarantees a pleasant room temperature in winter and on hot summer days.

All is of good quality and carefully selected and there will be everything you need for a comfortable stay and a relaxing holiday. (high efficient aerothermal heating, air conditioning, open fireplace, free 100 Mbps WiFi, 43 Smart TV incl. international sports, well-equipped kitchen with modern oven and large refrigerator, various coffee machines, sharp kitchen knives, large, delicate Bordeaux red wine glasses, wooden garden furniture, Lafuma relaxation loungers).

We attach great importance to the cleaning and disinfection of our holiday accommodations.

THE ENVIRONMENT
The holiday villa is settled into the real heart of the Alpujarra, in the middle of the fertile southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and its impressive flora and fauna. This green Garden of Eden stands out above all for its strong contrasts between Arabic, terraced and irrigated cultural landscapes and its wild alpine landscapes as well as for its year-round mild and sunny microclimate.

You can go on hikes through the valley or to the surrounding hills and mountains directly from the holiday home. Excursions to the picturesque mountain villages or to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada can be made by car. The spectacular mountain range reaches a height of 3,484 m and is home to the most diverse flora in its five climatic zones between the subtropical coastal region and its glacier as of the clearest starry sky in Europe .

Órgiva offers numerous street cafes and restaurants, small shops, a colorful weekly market and a market hall which offers al kind of fresh groceries on fish, meat, vegetable and herb stalls, as well as a sound infrastructure of small grocery stores, organic shops, ATMs, a post office and a small emergency hospital. We like to describe Orgiva as a "normal", i.e. naturally grown village with a touch of New Age, but not as touristy.

ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN THE AREA
Blessed with plenty of sun and mild weather all year round, this region offers an endless variety of possibilities, activities and holiday arrangements. The Mediterranean environment - part fertile cultural landscape, part wild nature - between the sunny coast and high mountains has its own character and culture. It is consistently green in winter and also in midsummer and an ideal spot to explore the real Andalusia, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

There are inexhaustible possibilities for the nature lover. Countless hiking routes lead through olive and orange groves, past picturesque mountain villages, vineyards and wineries, through forests, wide valleys and narrow gorges, to crystal-clear mountain streams, spring lagoons and snow-capped peaks.

The nearby coast offers in addition to lively coastal towns many small and hidden bays. Some have only a small fish restaurant and others have only sand or rocks. Some can only be reached on foot.

This region offers all year round - even in the winter season - the possibility of relaxation and all kind of different activities as well as its varied gastronomic offer. Because in every season the region lives to the fullest and sights, cafes, restaurants and fish restaurants on the beaches are open all year round.

The picturesque student city of Granada is only 50km away and is an inexhaustible source of beauty and culture. In addition to the countless sights of its Moorish history and its UNESCO World Cultural Heritages, it has everything that a vital historical metropolis can offer.

The Alhambra is the largest and best preserved Moorish palace and fortress in Europe.

Wonderful!
Our stay in the cave house was truly wonderful! The property is fully equipped with all we needed as a family with 3 children and the cleanliness is outstanding. The outdoor space and the pool, along with the magnificent views, ensured for a relaxing break. Communication with the host was easy and questions dealt with swiftly. Our late arrival was no trouble with clear directions provided. A car is needed (great car rental firm recommended by the host), allowing access to many of the beautiful sites of Andalusia. A truly excellent place to stay in.

Lovely peaceful house
Perfect location to explore the Sierra Nevada mountains and sightseeing in Granada as well as the beach (we don’t go though!) perfect little house for a small family, stayed nice and cool during the day and the benefit of air conditioning if you need it. Although we didn’t use it during the day just at night. Good selection of equipment in the kitchen and good choice of 2 bbq’s for out door cooking. Lovely outside space, real bonus and we so enjoyed the outlook, watching golden oriel’s flycatchers, foxes and wild boar!! So nice to have a choice of where to sit in the garden. Pool was good to cool off in but not big enough for proper swimming for adults but would be great for small children. Overall a fabulous hidden gem in spitting distance of the delightful small town of Orgiva and perfectly placed for explore vineyards in Constania and the stunning villages of the Alpujarra. We’d love to return! Thank you to Oliver an Maria for the super helpful directions and the loan of maps.

Verdant, comfortable paradise
If Oliver's place is available, book it! We had a relaxing holiday among the orange and lemon trees. The house is extremely clean and well stocked. We had so much fun playing badminton, using the pool, exploring the grounds, and relaxing in the sunshine. Oliver's suggestions for local hikes are spot on - we hiked each day of our stay. The walk to town is safe and feasible during the day - after our first night we used our car for trips at night. We can't wait to return!

AmazIng holiday!
We fell in love with this property on our first night! Oliver and Maria were very helpful during the booking process nd made sure everything was ready and easy for us even though we arrived very late. The property is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the views absolutely took our breath away when we arrived in the morning. (Note: you definitely need a car!) There was so much beautiful outdoor space to relax in including the refreshing pool area. We ate outside every day and enjoyed exploring the property. It's perfectly situated for excursions in the mountains and the coast, and Orgiva is very close with everything you need for groceries or meals. Thank you Oliver and Maria, we will be back to stay at this very special property!

Picturesque, rural home-from-home
A fantastic, traditional Spanish house with extensive garden and gorgeous pool - perfect for our family holiday. Set in rural surroundings with stunning mountain views. All mod-cons in the house were included making for a really comfortable stay. Nearby Orgiva is a small, quiet town, but well equipped with supermarkets and a handful of small cafe/bars. We loved visiting various beaches - easily accessible by car (approx 30-40 mins drive). Really great communication throughout our stay from Oliver the host to make our stay go smoothly.

Peaceful relaxing holiday
Last year my husband and I, so desperate to get away after a few years of staying in the UK due to covid/lockdowns booked an all inclusive week holiday in Turkey. Never again! This year we have had the opposite holiday from that. Oliver and Maria’s holiday property is gorgeous. It’s so peaceful and quiet. We made fresh lemonade from the lemon trees on the property, saw Eagles flying around, swam in the private pool. It was bliss. It’s also easy to drive to the coast which we did a couple of times as well as going to Granada on a couple of days ( one day to the Alhambra and the other day to visit the rest of the city). Oliver and María were really helpful and friendly and we would definitely visit again. Wonderful holiday. Would recommend!

Home away from home
If you’re looking for a serene, relaxing holiday in the mountains with incredible hiking and a town close by, then look no further. We just spent a week here in the winter, during our wedding anniversary and although we were not able to utilize the pool, I’m sure in the summer it would be a perfect addition. The property is built into the side of the mountain with a wonderful cave bedroom, that is very energetic and relaxing. The sounds of birds and the views of the Alpujarra mountains from the terrace are so peaceful. Surrounded by olive, orange and lemon trees, I made fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. Oliver was extremely easy to deal with , fast to respond, very pleasant and took care of any needs we had and was a very useful resource for exploring and questions. The kitchen was also stocked with basic items and enough for our first meal there along with wonderful wine and olive oil. We look forward to returning, perhaps in spring or summer, although the the house was well heated with two heaters on each side of the house, and it was nice to make a cozy fire in the evenings. We look forward to returning one day.

Staying in this beautiful Cortijo is like living in your own private park!
The house, surroundings, and amazing bounty of life on this beautiful property amazed me every day! The house is comfortable and well-equipped for short or extended stays, and its regional styling includes excellent touches such as solid and secure construction throughout, high quality windows and doors, and ease of temperature control. In addition, the cave room provides peaceful sanctuary for restful sleep. The out-of-doors features of the house are even better, with a rich garden and many spaces to relax, a well-maintained swimming pool and private area with a fence, and abundant life everywhere. The hosts are friendly, helpful, and responsive, and very knowledgeable of the amazing Alpujarra area, including the nearby village of Órgiva. If you love the outdoors and want to experience an amazing area in southern Spain that combines the tropics, mountains, and sea, I definitely recommend this home for your stay!

We had been planning this trip since 2019 and covid got in the way and kept making us push it back. They were very responsive to every message I sent. We arrived there and the house was close enough to get to many different parts of the area. 45 mins to Granada, 30 mins to the beach, 15 mins to the mountains. There were lemon, lime, and loquat trees all over the property that we could help ourselves to. The house had all the amenities and then some. When we travel to the area again we will definitely book here again!

Beautiful Views!
My new husband and I spent 5 nights of our honeymoon in Spain at Cotijo el Cura. We loved the privacy and the gorgeous views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The house is quaint and cosy and we slept well in the "cave" room. We also enjoyed making dinner with local market meat and produce. The town of Orgiva is quite charming. It is close by and has several wonderful restaurants. This was our base for exploring the mountain towns for hiking and also the beaches of the Costa del Sol which are an easy 1/2 hour drive away and simply gorgeous. We would be very happy to come back again!

Relaxing in beautiful surroundings
A cave house set in a beautiful garden with many citrus and ancient olive trees. Very quiet and private. Usually the only sound was birdsong. Everything was clean. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and well appointed. The double bed was comfortable and we slept well. Conveniently close to town, shops etc. Oliver was very helpful.

Lovely setting. Well equipped. Beautiful garden.
Spotlessly clean. Well equipped. Lovely pool and gardens. Shady veranda for meals. Great location for exploring the mountains , visiting Granada but also not too far from the coast.

Gorgeous property
What a lovely time we had. Exploring the mountain villages, walking. Watching the wildlife with the bats and a resident eagle an ever present visitor. Thank you Oliver for making us welcome with supplies on our arrival which made us very much at home. The property is well laid out and very good for lazy relaxing in the pool. We picked oranges and lemons on the trees and had squeezed oranges and lemons every day which was a real treat. Granada is only 50 kms away and an easy day trip. A very much enjoyed holiday and a good introduction to the Sierra Nevada

Fantastic cottage in a stunning location!
We had a brilliant holiday exploring the local area and enjoying the lovely private pool. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The garden is great with loads of space for the children to play and beautiful fruit trees. We even made lemonade. Our children (aged 10 and 7) absolutely loved the swimming pool. It was particularly good as it has a shallow area on the side which was great for our daughter as she could splash about without having to swim all the time. The village of Orgiva is great for general amenities and we had fun exploring some of the very picturesque villages higher up the mountains. It is a great location for running. I was able to run from the house every morning and would love to return and explore more. Overall a fantastic holiday.

Overall great property. Great location with amazing views of the mountains.
Fabulous months stay. Great town with all amenities. Our favourite bar was the one by the bridge called Venita el Puente. The locals were all very friendly. Only a small negative was that we needed a second set of bed linen and towels for each room as unable to wash and dry in the same day. Oliver the owner was very accommodating and we hope we didn’t eat too many oranges and lemons from the many trees. Thanks Kay, Gary, Lynn, Colin and Hector.

A perfect holiday hideaway
What can I say...the secluded and enticing pool, the beautiful garden with orange, lemon and fig trees, the mountain views and the well stocked and very authentic villa. We (family of 4, 2 kids aged 12 and 10) had a fab time. We explored the local area; the beautiful hilltop villages of Capiliera and Bubion, the stunning city of Granada and the amazing Alhambra palace and the many breath taking walks in the Sierra Nevada and Alpajurras (where often we didn't see anyone else). Hard to imagine that 40 minutes in the other direction are the many popular beaches. This villa would be a great stay any time of year as the landscapes around are forever changing but always beautiful (would be nice to see the mountains covered in snow). I am sure we will be back!
