La casa muy linda, con lo necesario, pero algo sucia y con las toallas y ropa de cama muy viejitas; camas cómodas, eso sí. La piscina se llena con agua de la montaña y está congelada, a mí me gusta, pero es algo a tener en cuenta, por ejemplo mi familia no se bañó por eso. La distribución de las habitaciones de arriba algo rara, pero a nosotros no nos afectó. La casa es fresquita en verano, da gusto estar, y por la noche hasta tapados. El agua de la casa no es potable, por lo que hay que comprar. La señora que nos atendió muy amable.
Ha sido una experiencia magnifica alojarnos en este cortijo con tanto encanto, en una zona tranquila y con unas preciosas vistas. Es un alojamiento para repetir.Muy buen trato.

Fabulous Relaxing Holiday!
July / August 2018
We had an amazing holiday and stay at the farm house. Lovely views, fab swimming pool. The farm house had everything we needed, a great kitchen, large gas barbeque, lounge, two bathrooms and very comfy beds! Plenty of linen and towels too. We can't wait to go back again! Sun rises, sunsets out of this world, the night sky superb. Great places to visit too, Sierra Nevada, Alhambra Palace to name a few.
Highly highly recommend this lovely rustic 200 year old house as well as the surrounding area.

Beautiful views and cool evenings
This villa is up a windy mountain road not for the faint hearted but resulting in a fantastic view over the Granada valley. It is over 1200m meaning that the air is slightly cooler and less humid than lower down. The sunrise over the mountains is a must see and the sun sets behind the mountain at 7.30 so plenty of time to cool down before it gets dark.
The pool is perfect size for families to play games and is plenty deep enough.
The interior is quite rustic, fully equipped, but no internet or WiFi and mobile connection is inconsistent. The bedrooms are warm but lovely. There is no air conditioning.
There are two showers, the upstairs bathroom has a shower bath which is great. Loads of towels are provided which saves packing.the kitchen could do with an update, food left out on the work surface attracts ants almost immediately.
