Orgiva is a lively Andalusia market village, picturesque situated in a large valley in the south of Granada, right under under Europe’s clearest night sky, between the rugged and snow covert mountains and the Costa Tropical, surrounded by wild, green and well-balanced countryside, rivers and thousands of years old olive and productive orange groves. It has the steep inclinational, terraced slopes of the Alpujarras with its white shaped mountain villages to the north, the vineyard area La Contraviesa to the east and the completely virgin, wild and unspoiled hills of Sierra Lujar to the south, Our property is an organic farm producing its own olive oil and almost all over the year our guests can find rip fruits ready to be taken right from the trees. Alongside its numerous street cafes, bars, small shops, the weekly market and the indoor market, Orgiva also offers supermarkets, banks, a post office, and a cinema.
From the property it takes 20 min. to walk to Órgiva over a country lane.
In the area as in the high mountains are many marked hiking trails, which are passing by fresh mountain rivers and alpine spring lagoons , perfect to enjoy a refreshing break or a even a stimulating bath.
It is only 25 km to the Costa Tropical, where you still will find beautiful and peaceful bays without any buildings, only a Chiringuito (beach hut/fish restaurant) right beside the water.
It is 50 Km to the marvellous and indescribable beauty town of Granada and the magic and breathtaking Moorish- medieval palaces of the Alhambra.
Our property is on an organic farm and we produce our own organic extra virgin olive oil and almost all over the year our guests can find rip fruits ready to be taken right from the trees.

Ski: Experience a completely different skiing holiday: in southern Spain! Depending on your mood and the weather conditions, you can go skiing in the Sierra Nevada, lap up the sunshine under a palm tree at a street cafe on the Costa Tropical or enjoy a tour of the world famous Alhambra Palace in the fascinating and light-hearted student city of Granada Sierra Nevada (80 km from the house) is the most modern ski resort in Spain and has more sunny days than any other ski resort in Europe. A high certainty of snow, enjoying 76 km long, wide ski runs on altitudes between 3400m and 2000m, low prices and a really friendly environment make Sierra Nevada an ideal winter holiday destination. While back at the cosy holiday home there will be a welcoming open fire in the chimney and if you wish a Finnish wood sauna, which we will be happy to prepare for you by prior arrangement. There are a telephone information line and a website which give information about the weather conditions at the ski resort.
