I had a wonderful stay at Nicky's house. Rupert, Nicky's partner, showed me to the village at an agreed time. The house was just as lovely as it looks on the photos (if not more), the village setting perfect for a relaxing time "away from it all". Communication with Nicky and Rupert was excellent, I highly recommend them as hosts. I hope to come back again one day!

A wonderful little house in a beautiful setting. It may be small but has everything you could possibly need. The hosts seem to have thought of everything. It was perfectly large enough for the two of us and had so many lovely old traditional features. The hamlet is tucked away in the hills with fantastic views yet is only a 10 minute drive to the beach. It is the perfect place to relax as it is so peaceful. The road up to the hamlet was not as bad as some reviews suggested and if anything it only added to the fun. I would definitely recommend this great little house and Nicky was a great host who made us feel very welcome. It was a nice surprise to find a fell stocked fridge on our arrival too !

the place is very quiet and charming and the hostess, Nicky and Rupert are extremely warm and welcoming. we had a very nice moment at Barranco Ferrer!

Ceilings are low. So watch your head.

This place is amazing. Very secluded and therefore really special. Old house, private terrace and the place has everything you need. Nicky had the fridge filled with more than just essentials. It is in the tiniest village surrounded by almost tree fields, it's fantastic. The perfect get-away if you like to be secluded. Drive to the beach about 20 minutes. Perfect!

We loved out stay at casita tomato! It was great get away, for a relaxing little holiday! The house is amazingly cute for two people, with everything you need. The host was really nice and always willing to help. Loved it . Completely recommend it !

We arrived to the meeting point late at night. Nicky met us at the gas station and we followed her up the road higher and higher in the mountains. It was dark outside and all we could see was Nicky’s car ahead of us and black abyss on the left of the road. However, the next morning the road did not already seem so scary and on the third day I was able to race up and down the mountain quite freely. The house has turned out nicer and cozier than it had appeared on the photos. Nicky took care not to leave us without supper and breakfast. Actually, for the three days at Nicky's house we have not eaten all stuff that Nicky had left for us in the fridge. We should have stayed more than three days… If you taller than average then you have a great opportunity to feel yourself like Gandalf at the hobbit-hole. On the little terrace upstairs there is a BBQ where you can grill everything. The house is very cosy and homely and Nicky provided everything a traveller may need. Nicky lives next door and instantly responds to all the needs. We are very pleased with this stay. Thank you Nicky so much!

The host was attentive, kind, and efficient while not getting in our way. We felt very well taken care of and entirely free to be as we pleased. We felt that the place slightly exceeded the expectations created by the description and were delighted to find the fridge stocked with food. Not just food, but good food, carefully picked to make guests feel atome.

A magical idyllic spot in the valleys of Orgiva. Elizabel was very welcoming and took us round the farm showing us the fruit (much of it ready for picking) we could help ourselves to. Sadly our Spanish is non existent but we were able to communicate with a combination of French and mime :) The farmhouse is beautiful. It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we could wish for during our (too) short stay. The pools (we don't usually have 2 to choose from!) were also fabulous with stunning views across to ancient olive groves and orchards. It all felt very private there although we knew Elizabel was only up the track if we needed anything.

Everything has been covered in previous reviews but suffice to say this really did live up to our expectations. This is in a superb location - peaceful, secluded and with stunning views. Elisabel is charming and extremely helpful and the house is basic but comfortable. Orgiva itself is ecelctic and we'll set up with cafes, restaurants and shops, and both the coast and Granada are only an hour away. But most of all Luna is a charming host and I nearly recommend this as a place to stay.

Our 9 days of paradise ended yesterday when we left Casa Azul to return to the UK. We really didn't want to leave! We had a wonderful time in an extremely comfortable, well equipped house, in the most beautiful surroundings and total peace (apart from the lovely bird song, the cicadas and frogs, all of which we loved). We had amazing weather in early April, averaging 25c each day, and were able to swim in the lovely, non chlorinated pool. When you find somewhere so perfect, the selfish part of you doesn't want to share it! But of course it would be really mean not to share this little gem. Casa Asul is in such a great location, 2.5 km from Orgiva at the end of a quiet lane in the countryside, but with easy access to the town. If you are vegatarian or vegan, Orjiva is a great town, both for food shopping and eating out. There are 3 health food shops in the town selling great breads, tofu, rice noodles etc: Baraka's a Middle Eastern cafe does wonderful food and the Alpujarras supermarket stocks organic soya milk and lots of organic and veggie stuff. Orjiva is well located for walking in the Sierra Nevada and amongst the pretty villages of the Alpujarras. Elizabel and her daughter Luna were the perfect hosts and gave us lots of useful information on walks and places to visit in the area, and we had very nice and interesting talks with both of them. The trouble is, Casa Azul is so wonderful, you will find it hard to drag yourself away from the house and grounds! We know we will be going back next year. Muchisimas gracias Elizabel y Luna. Fue muy agradable a concocerles. Soreh, Jan y Elizabetta.

We had a nice two weeks in the farmhouse. It's a great place to get close to nature. We've seen a fox, a snake, 3 pigs, an owl, a woodpecker, countless little birds, some frogs and the local goats came by from time to time. Our 1,5 year old son loved the fruit garden and enjoyed the juicy pears. The baby crib in the house is a good quality travel bed. The owners even bought a comfortable high chair for our baby.

After everything we did in Spain that included Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba Toledo and Madrid, we all feel the most 'saudades' for this little area of peace and tranquility. It's not exciting and it's not surrounded by great restaurants, but the true feeling of the land and it's culture are present in a way that is beyond words. The house itself has everything you need. Very cozy and homey. We referred to it as the house that keeps on giving. The weather was a little cold in April and we made fires in the fireplace most everyday. We juiced the oranges every morning that were on all the trees. In the mornings we heard the birds sing their sweet songs, the goat bells sounding in the distance, the geese honking as the mist in the hills lifted and the sun broke through to a new day in the Alpujarras. I just wish I would have spent more days relaxing there at the house instead of being so driven to go see other things. The trip to Cabo del Gata (huge national park 2 hours to the southeast on the coast) is beautiful and worth the trip. Otherwise the coast to the south is completely covered in greenhouses (that you can see from space) and condos and to me, not worth the effort. The drive up into the hills are very special and as directed by Elisabela, we were getting our drinking water from shrine-like springs up in the hills above Orgiva and Lanjarron (next town to north). Then there is the Alhambra and Granada only 45 minutes away which as you probably know is incredible. I recommend staying at Casa Azul if you are not completely dependent on the rush of city energy. We stayed a week and it was just right. You will find a very peaceful and special place whose presence will remain in your heart as long if not longer than seeing all the beautiful Cathedrals of Spain.

We were very late arriving off our flight to Malaga but Luna's brother, Eduardo, kindly met us in Orgiva town at 1.30am to show us the way to the villa. This friendly helpfulness continued throughout our short stay. There were six adults in our party. Everything was good for us in the villa. Eduado and his Mum were charming hosts. Their own house was a short walk away. So we knew they were there is we needed them, which was great. We would definately stay again shoulds we be back in the area.

We've arrived quit late and Elisabel was still waiting for us. We've really appreciated that. The house was very nice and clean and we've absolutely enjoyed our stay. The view which we've could enjoy from the swimming pool was very nice and relaxing. We really want to recommend this beautiful place to others.

Lovely place

A great place to start hiking trips & explore Andalucia.

Edu and Catalina, our hosts managing the property were helpful and kind The casita is as its looks on the airbnb site, really nice and has lovely views over the valley to Orgiva, it was a perfect spot to just sit and relax after a busy day walking in the mountains. There is also a lovely shaded garden area. The place is a good spot for going out and exploring the area. Is just a short walk to Orgiva, absolutely recommended.

A beautiful, quiet house to use as a base to see Las Alpajurras and Granada. Really lovely terrace to enjoy eating outside or reading and everything we needed to cook for a few days. Jaz was really helpful throughout booking and helped us out when we were lost on the way. We were hosted by Sabia who cooked us a wonderful curry and delicious pancakes and was easily available to help with any directions, questions etc. Really close to Orgiva which has a fab selection of restaurants and shops and caters to vegetarians. We both agreed we would visit both Orgiva and this casita again. Thanks to Jaz and Sabia for an easy and comfortable stay.

Nice place in Orange tree garden. Easy walking to the village. Splendid walking tours nearby. House is a bit narrow but cosy . In spring the house a bit cold, so in summer it will be nice. Nice terrace. And realy lovely owners.

Edu and Catarina were very friendly and helpful. The view from the terrace is nice. Great place for hiking and explore the white villages around. Unfortunately the fire place didn't work and the kitchen supply was quiet poor. Mind your head when you're tall. :)

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Casita Rio Chicho. The plus points are that it is very close to town, which is easily accessible through a foot path. In addition, the house itself is quiet and peaceful, with a nice view of the surrounding area. Our host, Jazz, was also very kind and accomodating and dealt with specific questions and needs very quickly. I would perhaps recommend stocking the kitchen with some basic supplies such as salt, oil and vinegar. However, Jazz did contact me ahead of time to ask if she could pick up some supplies for us ahead of time, so that there were eggs, bread, milk and butter waiting for us when we arrived. That was very thoughtful!

Fantastic garden, nice view while sitting on the terrace. When traveling in colder months, the gas heater in the little house can be necessary. Edu and Catalina, two really nice and helpful persons, are taking care of the house and the guests. Thanks!

Had a lovely stay with Jazz and her daughter Sabia. She was very kind and helpful. The apartment was idyllic, the surrounding very quite. We got good tips from Sabia for very nice walking tracks.

The hosts are very friendly and always available if necessary. Apartment is modern nice an location is perfect, everything nearby i.e shopping, bars, restaurants and beach

A really great apartment in a centre of town/walk to everything in a few minutes situation-Federico was there for anything that we needed

We had a great time in this small quite village . The appartment was exellent, very clean and has a huge terasse overlooking the Town. Very much recommended !

Todo perfecto, repetiremos sin dudarlo si Federico y su familia lo permiten.

El piso está nuevo y limpio, es super cómodo y a dos minutos de la playa a pie. Muy amables y disponibles tanto Federico como su madre.

Maravilloso apartamento cerca del mar, a 2 minutos a pie de la hermosa playa con una magnífica vista. Cerca de Granada, Málaga, Almería, Sierra Nevada. Es muy conveniente para viajar. Castell de Ferro, rincón maravilloso, mágico de la naturaleza virgen. Federico y su familia son muy amables y cordiales anfitriones. Bonito apartamento renovado, con una gran terraza para relajarse. Recomendado para todos los turistas que quieren saber más acerca de Andalucía!

Es un apartamento bonito, ubicado en un sitio agradable, limpio y bien equipado. Tanto Federico como su familia fueron muy amables.

La familia de Federico es muy amable y agradable. El departamento era especialmente adecuado para nuestro pequeño, pues podía gatear sin ningún problema de golpearse. Pasamos dos semanas muy tranquilas y nuestro pequeño lo disfruto mucho. Mil gracias!

The host canceled this reservation 36 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The owners of the house, Corinne and Pierre, are very kind people. They were waiting for us to arrive, showed us the house and then helped with our luggage. Again, during the week we became friendly with them at the local fiesta. Nothing was too much trouble. The house is quirky, I like it for a tranquil, short break but I would not recommend it for children under 4 due to the spiral staircase to the lounge and patios. The views are beautiful from the top terrace. We will visit again but without our girls.

Sehr schönes und geräumiges Häuschen in den Bergen. Mit zwei Terrassen hat man einen tollen Blick bis ans Meer, das etwa 11km entfernt liegt. Die Gastgeber wohnen außerhalb und sind sehr bemüht. In dem Haus findet man alles was man braucht, der nächste Supermarkt liegt leider etwas entfernt in einem Nachbarort am Meer.

N'hésitez pas la montée jusqu'à Polopos en vaux plus que le detour et cest plus que certain c'est un coin de tranquillité ultime avec une vue panoramique sur la mer depuis la terrasse qui vous offre un spectacle naturel magnifique , chants de criquets , oiseaux , l'air iodé de la mer qui "parfume" l'atmosphère et ces montagnes a perte de vue qui viennent plongées dans la mer et bien entendu des hôtes irréprochables au grand coeur que sont corinne et jean pierre merci beaucoup pour tout .

Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable. C'est un endroit que nous conseillons, tant pour le cadre, que pour l'appartement. Très belle expérience, les poloperos que nous avons rencontrés se sont montréstrès accueillants, ainsi que les propriétaires de l'appartement.

Maison superbe avec ses terrasses vue imprenable dans un village accueillant calme et sympathique hôte formidables des conseils de visite extra à recommandé

Julie and Emile are the perfect hosts, so relaxed and welcoming. The casita is just as advertised - simple and clean with bags of character (and the fluffiest towels!). It is a wonderful base for exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains and is just a short walk from Orgiva.

Julie's Casita is the most charming home in all of Orgiva. Private and yet Walkable to town. I loved my stay here and was sad to leave. The bed is so cozy and the apartment is bright and artsy. Julie's recommendations were wonderful. We even shared a vegetarian dinner which Julie prepared from the local market ~ which was truly delicious. As a woman traveling alone I felt particularly welcome, safe, and amongst friends.A hidden gem.

We had a great time and enjoyed your hospitality. Your lovely cottage is certainly worth a recommendation

Julie and Emile are great hosts, kind, friendly and picked us up from the bus stop. The cassita is charming and peaceful. We loved it. There are some beautiful walks nearby down to the river. Highly recommended.

Casita muy comoda, ideal para pasar unos días en naturaleza y accesible a pie desde el pueblo. Muy recomendable

Zalige kleine cosy cassita met kacheltje en mogelijkheid om te koken, heel goeie sfeer, gezellig terrasje en tuintje, op wandelafstand van Orgiva,een echte aanrader!

Everything we needed was there. We felt very welcome

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was perfect and self sufficient so we could cater if we felt like it. Luna brought us freshly picked oranges and other treats, weather was gorgeous and so was the scenery. Thanks so much we would definitely return. Felix Navidad

The Cabin was perfect just as described. Elizabel, Luna's Mum, met us as pre-arranged in Orgiva and we followed her the 3 kilometres to the cabin. The cabin had everything we required and because of the time of year the temperature was perfect. The surroundings are beautiful and the solitude was perfect for us. We used the swimming pool which was very refreshing given the time of year. For us the only issue was the approach to the cabin as we had a very low profile car. We left it down the lane a little to avoid grounding it on the water channels. Elizabel was particularly kind and generous and made us feel completely at home. If we are going to be back in Orgiva we would certainly stay again.

The cabin is very comfortable and clean, in a beautiful setting. The view of the mountains is gorgeous and I fell in love with all of the big olive trees on the property. Luna and Elisabel couldn't have been more welcoming, kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay, especially taking time out in the hammocks and enjoying the pool. Highly recommended and a big thank you :)

The chalet is absolutely wonderful. Waking up and picking your own oranges for breakfast was a delight. The space was warm and well designed with a great shower and everything required for a comfortable stay. We were warmly welcomed and were met in the local town and shown how to get to the chalet. We had a wonderful stay!

Elisabel, Luna's mother, was the perfect host. She was kind enough to pick us up in Orgiva and brought us to the cabin. The cabin was very clean and spatious and extremely cosy, with an awesome view over the valley from amongst the olive and citrus trees. I would recommend this host to anyone looking for a quiet, stress-free getaway in the most gorgeous surroundings.

We had a wonderful week in the cabin. Elisabel met us in Orgiva and showed us the way - it is pretty remote and difficult to find on your own. Elisabel was warm, generous and friendly - giving us fruit from the orchard. We managed to communicate in French even though I do not speak it very well. The cabin was spotlessly clean and well furnished and very spacious. There is not much in the immediate area but it is a good place for resting and for touring by car. We enjoyed the Feria in Orgiva with flamenco dancing. The days were hot but we were quite cold at night so pack some warm pyjamas if coming in the autumn!

We traveled by car from Malaga which was about 1.5 hours and communicated with Luna prior to arrival and her mum Elisabel met us as agreed by the garage which was very easy to find. She was a perfect host, discreet and helpful and there if we wanted to always with a smile. As Luna advised, it was easy to communicate though we don't speak much Spanish or French nor her English but sign language and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translations go a long way! As previous reviews said the cabin is down a lane/track but our car coped very well with it - an Audi TT though obviously its is necessary to drive very slowly! The cabin is near to Elisabel's house and the pool but very private, is not over looked by anyone and we only saw some people walking their dogs once or twice. The cabin was very clean and offered all the amenities listed and also Wi-Fi! and 4G so we were able to use our web browser and email. The cabin is set in grounds with olive trees, fig trees, pomegranate, orange, lime, lemon and furry apples! quince I think :) The figs and pomegranates were ripe to eat. The food in the local area was amazing, the local market was on a Thursday at the top of the town and all the fruit and veg looked amazing as could be expected. The local people were extremely friendly and helpful and we felt very welcome. We had to visit a physio during our stay who was also amazing - Judith Perez Molina Our favorite restaurant was definitely Baraka - so amazing, freshly prepared food reasonably priced with arab influence to the menu. Wraps for 5euros which fill you up for hours, some of the best tagines in the world and exquisite service! We ate there several times and will go back! Complimentary tapas is served in most of the bars, enough to keep you going too! Being close to the mountains we visited Capiliera, Bubion and Pampaneira. Only half and hour drive up the mountain with spectacular views, fresh air and some of the best ham in Spain! the second highest village in Spain at 1432m and near the highest village in mainland Spain Trevelez at 1486m with its mouth watering jamon serrano! Lovely setting and base to explore a beautiful part of Spain. Thank you. xx

We want to thank Elisa for all she did to make our stay such a brilliant experience. The house and garden had everything we could have hoped for and more, and we loved relaxing and reading, listening to the cicadas and the sound of the water running through the irrigation channels in the evenings. We spent most of our time in the pool or at the lovely outdoor dining area and although it was hot we were able to stay cool. Elisa had recommendations of places to go - the Thursday market, the white hill villages, and she came to our rescue when our car had a flat battery. We are very grateful for her generous help and her relaxed hospitality. We highly recommend Elisa as a host and Elisa's house as a thoroughly chilled place to stay. If you go, stay up late to see the stars, and listen out for the bread man's van around noon - saves a trip into town. Thanks again Elisa, you are a gem.

I found the Cortijo on the internet and loved the pictures of the place. We were not at all disappointed with it because it is beautiful and private and we felt both secluded and safe in the place. The welcome was wonderful from friends of Elisa who showed us around and there was a lovely meze set out waiting for us on arrival which was really thoughtful. The pool is a really good size, bigger than I had expected which was an added bonus. I know this area well and have been before but this was a particularly delightful holiday and I would most certainly go back.

Elisa was extremely helpful and came to meet us personally with wine and cheese, and was always at the end of a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) message to answer any questions we had. The house was extremely beautiful, amazing setting with fig, lemon, orange, pomegranate and olive trees, amazing view of mountains - generous pool. I would love to visit again and would definitely recommend anyone else to stay there! Thanks for a wonderful stay

We had a wonderful week at El Cortijo. Blisteringly hot for Sept the shady space around the pool was just perfect, so nice to have lovely areas to chill in and the figs were ripe! The walk into town is easy and takes about 15 mins, it's nice to potter out in the evenings. There is a circular walk that takes you around Orgiva which is accessible from the Cortijo, it takes you past the rivers (obviously quite dry in Sept) and olive groves and is just right for stretching your legs when it's a bit cooler. Elisa was great at keeping in touch with us and although we didn't get to meet her, Beatriz greeted us and saw us off, so a very big thank you to her. We've stayed around Orgiva before, but this is the place we'd like to come back to!

The host canceled this reservation 196 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house is lovely, but the pool is amazing - big, clear and clean with stunning mountain views. The garden is huge, lots of fruit trees. We had a great time.

Nice, basic house in a great area. Great pool and beautiful city less than 2 km away (up hill). You need a car, though. House is basic and a little worn, but good value for money and charming. You spend most of your time outside, anyway. Everyday the goat heards were passing by in the street outside. Nice touch...

My family and I had a wonderful Christmas in this house. Elisa is the perfect host, so kind and friendly. The house was very comfortable and there was lots of hot water and great internet access. We look forward to staying again one day in the summer so we can use the big pool!

What an amazing place! Ideal place for a getaway break - beautiful nature and views of the mountains and stars at night! Luna and Elisabel are very gracious and welcoming hosts - what a treat!

Great and spacious apartment in a valley village just outside of Orgiva. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and everything was clean when we arrived. We can strongly recommend this place to other travelers that enjoy being out in the natureside.

This place is a little paradise. Elisabel was a warm, welcoming host. We especially appreciated the tour of her farm. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. It had all we needed to make simple meals. This was the perfect place to relax for a few days between travels.

We stayed for 6 nights and we loved it! The atmosphere and the surroundings are very beautiful, the farm/garden itself is incredible with all its different plantations and it was lovely to wake up to the smell of jasminflowers every morning. The apartment was perfect and the little, private kitchen was a big plus. We cooked our own meals and had supper up on the rooftop almost every night. Luna's mother Elisabel was so helpful and welcoming, my husband speaks a little spanish and we could communicate good! It's nice to have a car to make daytrips. We went to the coast som days and also to Granada. We also went to Junta de los rios, a "riverwalk" and swam in naturalpools in the mountains. I can really recommend to stay here, we hope to come back to this little paradise some day!

Super peaceful. Super clean. Super abundant with fruit. And Elisabel is super sweet.

My stay was beyond expectations. I came here to rest, study and write and it was just amazing. The contact with Luna was impeccable, she answered to all questions in detail. Her mother, Elisabel, picked me up from the village of Orgiva and she was very attentive throughout my stay. The room and amenities are super clean and nice. The location is excellent at a good 30 minute walk from the town. Hardly any traffic going there. The garden is like the garden of Eden, so beautiful and natural with flowers and fruit trees and ancient olive trees. Every morning I plucked fresh oranges to make orange juice. I felt being in heaven here. I have been travelling the world extensively for the last 9 years and this place comes definitely in my top 10. Thank you for everything!

Lovely stay in quiet surroundings. A real place to relax and rest. We loved it. Fresh oranges dailey which was a real treat. Host was very very helpful and friendly.

the host Elisabel is a very lovely person and the house with the wild garden is very charming. The house is like in the middle of nowhere....if you want to have it peaceful and quiet its the perfect place to be. Car is necessary. Its about 10 min drive from Orgiva. Orgiva is not the place you must have seen on your trip to Andalucia but thats only my opinion

We are a family of four with children age six and eight that wanted to see real Spain with our children. We had an amazing time at Casa Champasak, a really stunning property in a stunning location. The apartment is really well thought out and equipped and the pool is fantastic. Even though the hosts live upstairs they are completely separate and very quiet and they make you very welcome to go up if you need anything, nothing is to much bother. They even purchased an extra fan for us because it was unusually hot. They have an amazing knowledge of the surrounding area, advice on where to park for free in Granada, the best beaches to visit and the local attractions. I cant recommend this property enough, if you are looking for a peaceful holiday that is well located for loads of different activities, walking, horse trekking, cycling or just visiting local Spanish villages in the mountains then this is the perfect property. We also managed day trips to the Cabo de Gata, Tabernas, water parks, Nerja and Granada is less than an hour away. PERFECT!!! We will be back. Thank you Celia and Jeroen for making out holiday so amazing .

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a great location with an incredible back yard (garden) with flowers, trees, big pool, hammock, tables and chairs. The house is quite large and has everything plus to stay comfortably. They even had extra rice and pasta bc when we arrived they stores were closed due to a holiday. They were very well organized, helpful, the house was very clean and easy to find. Thank you very much Celia and Jeroem.

Resourceful, welcoming and accessible natured people in a beautiful, well-kept house that felt like a home away from home! Brilliant location for a peace, quiet and culture with easy road routes to anywhere in SE Spain. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay with nicer people. We will be recommending Champasak to our family and friends and hope to return again. All the best for the future. Fee & Mick. X

Our family really enjoyed our stay. Celia's parents were there to greet us and showed us all around the home and its beautiful patio and gardens. Too bad it was a bit cold for swimming since the pool looked inviting. There was plenty of room for us and we had to use the wood stove in the evening as the weather cooled down - which worked very well. Very comfortable home and highly recommended if exploring and hiking in the area.

The appartment is even better than the pictures!!! The place is more spacious, the atmosphere is great and it has everything you need or wish. Celia and Jeroen are available if needed but give you the all the privacy you want. The best Airbnb experience we had!

We had a fantastic time at the Casa Champasak. Beautiful house in a great part of the world. Perfect for a family holiday. Celia and her boyfriend, Jeroen, were lovely hosts, who were very patient with our young children. My wife is already planning the next trip!

Casa Champasak is perfectly situated if you plan to visit both Granada and the high villages of the Alpujarra. It's also a great base for walking with convenient access to the GR142 and the GR7 as well as the higher paths from nearby Capileira or Trevelez. Located on the outskirts of Órgiva, the house is away from the road up a narrow lane and feels quite rural. Inside it is spacious, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. The garden is delightful and very private—so much so that we spent a lot of time there eating outside or relaxing by the pool. Celia and Jeroen are kind and helpful hosts: they live in the upper part of the house (which is quite separate) and were always happy to answer a query or provide some local knowledge. Highly recommended.

Our stay was no long enough. A gorgeous place to stay and Cecilia and her husband were wonderful hosts. Their house was immaculate and the outdoor area and pool was lovely. Celia recommended a fantastic place to eat, Baraka and a great walking trail. Do yourself a favour and book now. Our family of 4 loved it. 5/5.

Wow had an amazing and beautiful experience in this tiny and wonderful village. Stunning countryside, so peaceful and tranquil. Delia is a great host very friendly and helpful. I could not recommend this property highly enough, can't wait to come back.

Delia was a wonderful host. She met me at the top of the village, brought me to my delightful place of stay, and then walked me to the store and bar. Tour of village complete, she left me to explore. I find it hard to describe the experience of staying in this tiny quiet village. The accommodation has absolutely everything you could want, besides the breathtaking views. It was a fantastic place that will stay with me forever. I am only sorry I did not allow myself more time there. This is a place to relax, reflect, and just be. Truly a special place, and a special host.

What a wonderful stay we had in Alfornon. Delia made our time in the village absolutely magical. She was so warm and inviting, and we immediately felt at home in this gorgeous little house, in fact we were so content that we could have happily stayed for much longer! The house was more than we could have anticipated, with a big open fire to sit by in the evenings, and lovely little outdoor area to enjoy the morning sunshine with the view of mountains in every direction. The great local shop provided us with anything we would possibly need, and the locals were very friendly (without forgetting the village animals that also made us feel very much at home!). I would definitely like to return one day to this beautiful rural place.

What a week!! A beautiful and well equipped house, in a beautiful and friendly village with unbeatable surroundings! Unfortunately we didn't meet Delia and her son Neo until the last day since they where in England this specific week, but meeting them the last hours made the finishing touch to our visit. The grosery store Really could provide us with all we needed, food, drinks, hygienic,...ALL we needed. Impressiv. And on top off that the bread- and the fishvan came to the village regularly and the very welcoming barowner assisted with free WI-FI! Thanks Delia, and the rest of the inhabitants in Alfornon!! / Jonas & Nicolina

Amazing location, stunning views in the heart of the mountains! Great place to stay and get away from the hustle and bustle, but with all facilities you need and even wifi too. A great place to stay if you're wanting to immerse yourself in the local culture. The cottage is gorgeous and the roof terrace makes for a great spot to relax and soak up the view!! The bar at the top of the hill (Haza del Lino) does a fab breakfast if you're not in the mood to cook and want to enjoy something tasty as you head out into the mountains. Equally the kitchen at the cottage is well equipped and we picked up some eggs, meat, bread and delicious locally grown tomatoes to cook up a tasty breakfast a few days too. Local shop has everything you need and are more than accommodating even if your Spanish is as bad as mine is! Lovely little bar too in the village where Paco will serve you beer, great local wine and spirits along with tapas for a ridiculously cheap price. Delia was great with communication throughout our stay and on hand to recommend things to see and do which was invaluable. We'd hired a car which made it easy to explore in the July heat and managed to visit the high Alpajurras villages as well as some fab coastal spots. We stayed a week, only wish we'd have stayed longer! Delia is an incredible hosts and we can't wait to find the opportunity to come back again.

The apartment is amazing, just like we expected. We are a family of three with a small child and we all were very happy with the accomodation. There's enough space - inside as well as outside of the place. there is a huge terrace which is shared in case of the other apartment next door is also rented, and another one small but nice which is private. We used the smaller one to set up a paddling pool for our child, to have a barbecue and hang out. The view from there is just beautiful. So if you are looking for a peaceful accomodation in a picturesque, quaint village it´s just a great choice. Of course the very secluded situation in the mountains makes trips to the seaside (45 minutes) and more lively (and highly recommendable) places like Granada (1,5 hours) more difficult. But if you are aware of that - go for it! Besides the roads up there really surprised us positively. they were mostly in very good shape, and if some opposing traffic occurs (which rarely happens btw) there is usually enough space to pass each other trouble-free. But of course since it is kind of a remote place be prepared for hundreds of curves. Delia, the host really is very caring and pleasant. meeting her was a great pleasure for us! We hope to come back some day!

Delia was so helpful with everything and kind! we had a lovely stay in alfornón !

We stayed at Delia's place for a week. It is a wonderfully desolated village in the middle of the mountains. The house is quite spacious, nicely decorated, rustic and cosy. Nature all around, hens annoucing to the world about their laid eggs, a cat that is always hungry and will accompany you with every meal, ants that will clean up the kitchen if you were a bit lazy and left any trace of food on the kitchen table. :) The surrounding mountains are great for hiking and the views are spectacular. At the same time, it is quite easy to drive to the shore and beaches. Delia, you are a welcoming and friendly spirit. Thank you again for your hospitality and some of the talks we had. It was a great, relaxing stay in Alfornon! Hopefully not the last one. :)

Lovely place - very calm, easy & friendly atmosphere. I felt welcome & relaxed & the location is very good.

For someone wanting to stay in central Orgiva, this is perfect - about as central as you can get being but 5 minutes walk to the Baraka Cafe, the main meeting place, whilst having suburban peace and quiet. An immaculate house, and the guest room was of five-star hotel quality for comfort and spaciousness. Elisa herself was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I thank her very much for a delightful, albeit rather short, stay.

Elisa is a wonderfull host! The room was perfect decorated, clean and light. She cooked a diner as a welcome and was always in for e chat or nan activity. We became good friends! Thank you so much Elisa for being the perfect host! Ps. There is a wonderful swimmingpool 1 minute away where you can swim with the ticket of Elisa! Highly recommended this hogar!!

Elisa kept in touch with me regularly, to make sure I could get to the right place and she even sent me a timetable, for buses departing to and from Órgiva. She has 2 dogs at home: Lobo amd Lola. Lobo is big and giddy, but harmless. He's very strong, so be ready for cuddles, should you wish to. Elisa made me feel quite comfortable, just as if I was visiting a relative or a friend in the village. Órgiva is a place where many UK natives have migrated to, searching for the sun, wilderness of its mountainous landscape, as well as keeping in touch with modern technologies, all options available. I have met from Buddhist converts, hippies, as well as locals, in a mix that, on first impressions, seems harmonious. The village itself is not the prettiest, but it is great as a base. Elisa and I had the opportunity to chat a lot and she has met some interesting people in the Spanish Rock scene of the 80s! For instance, she was manager for bands such as "Los Toreros Muertos"; she has all sorts of (URL HIDDEN) to tell and is great company, especially s the weather started to turn, just as I arrived. Unfortunately, I became ill with cold/flu symptoms, making it difficult to regain the necessary stamina to even start the day. I could not get warm and felt I was not up to the task, so I decided to leave before I found myself confined to bed (I'm still in the process of fending it off). I would like to return to the area with my family next time and hopefully, be able to visit the surrounding villages (which was myboriginal plan).

Elisa and Antonio are two nice and helpful people however their English is very limmited. We used a translation app to communicate. The bathroom and bedroom were clean and tidy. Orgiva itself is not special. Shops, bars and restaurants are within walking distance. If you do not have a car and you want to visite the white villages like Bubion and Pampaneira then hitchhiking can be an option as I did. The area in which Orgiva is located is a nice walking area with beautiful views. Close to Orgiva is Buddhist meditation center Öseling located. You can visit there beautiful statues and a stupa at your tour overlooking Orgiva and the surrounding mountains of the Alpujarras.

All needs has reached a quick and necessary solution.

Elisa's house is very well located in a quite street in Orgiva town, which makes it a perfect spot to splore the Alpujarra while having all shops you need on walking distance. She is also a great host, very cheerful and provides you with anything you need. It felt like being with a good friend, not just a host. She loves hiking so she can advice you very nice spots and walks in the area. I've had a wonderful week thanks to Elisa!

Sonia and her partner were very helpful to us. Among other things we were guided from town to the house on arrival. It would have been tricky to find the house otherwise. We had a nice stay in the house, especially since we befriended the garden cats. The fantastic pool made up for some minor flaws like some lacking kitchen equipment and a tricky road to the house. If you like a remote and quiet situation I recommend the house.

Sonia was an excellent host. She has a keen eye for detail and made the house really welcoming and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a beautiful escapade. My 7 year old daughter spent most of her time in the garden, up in the olive tree house and in the pool, which we also enjoyed, it is enormous and perfect for doing lengths. Sonia was really attentive to our needs, she kept checking we had everything we needed and even brought us some vegetables from her garden. All in all it was a dreamy holiday in a beautiful setting framed with olive and orange groves and the sierra nevada mountains as the backdrop...stunning! Thank you so much for everything Sonia! We will be coming again!

The pool is absolutely the highlight of that house. Besides that u have a great view on the mountainsame of the Sierra Nevada. Every morning breakfast outside is TOP.

Zeer leuke plek, de tuin is geweldig.

Lovely, clean accommodation and great facilities. Just a shame that our car was not powerful enough to get up the mountain. Thankfully we are both young and fit enough to make the half-hour climb!

Hemos pasado unos días en la vinera y a sido genial, todo muy limpio, tiene todo lo necesario y el pueblo es precioso, nos a encantado muchas gracias Mike!

Sitio es genial tranquilo y apartado. Todo lo que uno necesita para unas vacaciones tranquilas y de desconexión.

Un sitio genial para desconectar y descansar!

Lugar tranquilo y agradable para relajarse y desconectar. El acceso es una carretera mala y estrecha pero es un trayecto corto, en 10 minutos se llega Castell de Ferro donde se encuentran playas restaurantes supermercados etc... El alojamiento esta limpio y bien equipado.

Mike fué muy cordial y atento. El piso limpio, confortable y bien equipado, con provisto de pan de molde, huevos frescos del corral de Mike, leche, cafe etc. La zona es muy tranquila debido a su situación remota en el monte, recomendable para desconectar y relajarse en pareja. El pequeño poblado remodelado es muy pintoresco y aunque quizás no ofrezca servicios se puede llegar a los pueblos de la costa en poco tiempo. Para llegar lo más práctico es tener coche, ya que hay que acceder a un remonte. Quizás coches con poca potencia no consigan subir. En los pueblos de al lado se puede contar con bastante oferta de restauración y servicios, recomendable salir de tapas, nosotros pudimos disfrutar de pescaito frito variado. ¡Por cierto, el vino de Mike nos gustó mucho!

Muy bien la experiencia muy tranquila excelente huésped Mike muy atentos a todos y piscina y jacuzzi muy bien esperamos volver

Barranco Ferrer es una pequeña pedanía con una gran ubicación en las montañas a escasos 5 minutos del Mar. El pueblo es tranquilo y se está genial en la casa de Mike. Está equipada con todo lo necesario y la piscina y el Jacuzzi siempre dan una alegría. Esperamos poder volver pronto.

Ruuds place is just outside of Orgivá around 2km, it's in a beautiful valley close to a community called Beneficó. Your host Ruud, will give you more than a warm welcoming, his place is huge and quiet he's got a wonderful garden with figs, grapes, almonds and all kind of stuff. He's able to give you all kind of information around the area or even more. Ruud is a calm and peaceful person and if you get lucky :), he's also a wonderful chef. We've been really happy to get to know him.

Ruud is a very nice and helpful host. Couldn't have asked for more from him. I loved the place and the location. Great value for money. Definitely recommend!

House have unique and quite location. House is perfect at all. Ruud is a great person and very nice.

Ruud was a very lovely and friendly host and his house is beautiful! Everything was perfekt :)

Beautiful and peaceful location. Very nice atmosphere, the interaction between ruud and other guests. I felt like being in a community, we cooked together and had very nice conversations. Although I am sure you are free to go your own way, I felt comfortable sharing my time with ruud and other guests. My room was really clean and comfortable. Ruud offers extra's, like lots of help, inspiration and sharing his interesting books. I would love to come back here!

This is a farmhouse of Rudd who decided to live the basic life in the country. Here you can absorb the country how it really is, off the beaten track. Back to basics! I was welcomed with and a dink and we stayed all evening outside and discussed life.....fantastic!

Nous avons passé une nuit au sein du logement de Ruud. La description est conforme à ce que nous attendions. Nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par Ruud avec qui nous avons passé la soirée à discuter. L'accès au logement est toutefois difficile mais Ruud a été patient et nous a guidé tout au long de notre trajet. L'endroit est reposant, parfait pour une nuit.

Superbe accueil par Ruud, qui nous a donné de précieux conseils pour notre rando dans la sierra nevada. On a passé una soirée agréable avec un repas fait maison.

We had a great time at Carmen's place! It was absolutely how we imagined - it is the perfect place to spend a quiet time in nature and still close enough to have a short walk to the village. The shower under the trees was a big plus that we did not expect :) Highly recommended!

Carmen's place is wonderful! A comfortable, cosy truck with everything you need, close enough to walk into Orgiva and enjoy the town but also secluded and quiet. Carmen's place is super relaxing. We were given great recommendations for places to eat and drink. Carmen also has a super organic shop in town. Highly recommend a stay here!

Beautifull surroundings and garden.

Would go back with no hesitation

For anyone looking for a back to nature, back to basics, peaceful, private with great views, then this is the place for you. We loved it. It is located on the outskirts of a great little town (only a ten minute walk into town). The hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Es un lugar precioso que recomendemos a todos que buscan un sitio para deconectarse y relajarse la cabeza en las estrellas. Carmen es una super anfitrión.

Es perfecto

La pasamos genial en el camión. Es tal cual se ve en las fotos, muy limpio y es muy cómodo para estar. Era nuestra primera vez durmiendo con el techo tan cercano a nosotros y dormimos muy bien las dos noches que estuvimos. Disfrutamos mucho de las vistas y el entorno. Carmen fue muy amable, disponible todo el tiempo para cualquier cosa que necesitaramos. Definitivamente volveríamos.

Things we enjoyed: After following our hosts excellent directions we were greeted and enjoyed a cup of tea overlooking the beautiful gardens and breathtaking mountains. The location is very rural and a 10-15 min drive to the nearest restaurants / shops in Orgiva but ideal if you are looking for a complete rest from the hustle bustle of the outside world. There is a pretty bbq area and the pictures show a relaxing terrace outside the hosts residence which they seemed happy to share with guests. The pool was small but adequate for 2 people (as it was unheated so we didnt use it). When we were shown to the property which is situated in the hosts garden we felt we had been mislead especially by the photographs. The quoted 'entire house/flat' accommodation was a small building measuring approximately 6m x 4m in its entirety. This comprised of an open plan room with kitchen, dining area, 2 single beds, built in wardrobe, coffee table and 2 chairs, small breakfast bar & 2 stools and a large wood burner. There was a small wc/shower off the kitchen leaving little or no space to move once you were in the room. The linen provided for the beds we do not believe to have been freshly laundered - using our towels over the pillows. The views from the 'balconet' in the room were magnificent, unfortunately it is less than half a meter deep so served as a window rather than somewhere you could sit and relax. We encountered 2 major problems whilst we were at the property: Firstly the internet was not working (this was critical for us as have an online business and this was the main criteria when choosing our accommodation) secondly there was no hot water. Our hosts seemed keen to address the issues and we hoped this could be resolved by an agreed deadline of midday on day 2. However this wasn’t to be the case... We were instead accused of 'tampering' with the outside water heater, which was preposterous! Given the circumstances and other issues we decided to cut our stay short. We accepted our hosts apology and refund. We went on to find a fabulous airbnb just outside Orgiva, so have not lost faith completely in the idea despite this experience.

Una expériencia maravillosa. Es un sitio precioso, muy tranquilo y totalmente acogedor. Stefan y Naomi nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Una pena haber podido estar solo un dia... Repetiremos sin duda.

No hemos podido estar más a gusto en este precioso lugar. Un lugar ideal para los que quieran alejarse de todo y disfrutar de una tranquilidad total. La casa, aunque pequeñita, es muy acogedora y no le falta detalle. En invierno con la calefacción y la estupenda chimenea se está fenomenal. Esperamos volver.

Alojamiento pequeño y acogedor. Los anfitriones,encantadores, se respira paz, por el entorno y por su trato.

Ha sido maravilloso!!! A superado nuestras expectativas con creces! Es un sitio para venir! Pienso venir cada vez que pueda! No le falta el mínimo detalle! El jardín no hay palabras para describirlo!!! Es todo perfecto! Si queréis paz y tranquilidad este es el sitio! La piscina es para ti sólo con unas vistas inmejorable! En fin! Gracias a Stefan y a Noemí por hacer posible está experiencia!

El sitio ideal,vistas preciosas y para disfrutar de la tranquilidad. Los anfitriones encantadores y la piscina preciosa.

Casa perfecta para dos. Terraza y jardín con vistas preciosas. Propietarios encantadores.... Venta de productos propios, aceite y unas mermeladas caseras estupendas.

Very nice place, very well located. Easy contact with nicole before, during and after our stay! We recommand this place !

My Boyfriend and I had a fantastic time in Nicole and Scott's apartment in Orgiva. The terraces have beautiful views onto the mountains and the apartment is within walking distance to all the shops, bars and restaurants. Elo met us for check-in and showed us around, she was lovely. The communication before and during the stay with the hosts was very good and we felt comfortable asking for recommendations. The apartment was clean and had good lounging spots for reading, and a nice dining area to sit and have meals. The decor gave the apartment a very peaceful, relaxed feel. All in all we had a lovely stay at Nicole and Scott' s apartment and would definitely recommend it to others!

The place is very charming. It has a nice rooftop deck to look up at the stars at night and great air conditioning. The only drawbacks for us was that there was no hot water for showering and no toilet paper.

Easy and quick communication. Beautiful and relaxing house to stay in. Nice and clean and perfect if you want to explore the town of Orgiva. Can really recommend the Thursday morning market!

Spacious house with a large terrace in a great location. Fairly well equipped but one bedroom without air conditioning. Decent value for money. Although make sure your flights get in at a sensible time or this will make for a difficult check-in.

Great house, great location and really a home from home. Lots of space and a choice of exterior places to drink a glass of tinto de verrano

Such a beautiful property in the perfect location for the cafes and shops/markets, with amazing views included! Quiet and private with wonderfully stylish, spacious rooms, would definitely recommend. Helpful and friendly hosts. Orgiva is such a lovely town we shall definitely return!

We enjoyed our stay at Nicole's and Scott's house a lot! The beds are super comfortable, there is a lot of space in the house, the kitchen is well equipped and the terrace is incedible.
