Photos and Description of the Orgiva vacation apartment rental
A Place in the Sun 'Arabian arches and mosaics echo the style of the Alhambra'

Sunbathe by the private pool in the peace and quiet amongst the olive groves of Tijola, near Orgiva, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Enjoy the wonderful sunsets and star gaze at night, wtih a glass of wine after enjoying a BBQ. Buy your vegetables and fresh fish from the small local market town of Orgiva. Visit the white washed Berber villages which cling to the southern slopes of Spain’s highest mountain range or visit the Alhambra Palace and go shopping or eat out in the famous city of Granada. Recently described by Chris Stewart in his best selling book 'Driving Over Lemons' this rural area offers peace and tranquillity with easy access to the bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Orgiva. Just 1 hour south of Granada and 1 hr 40 mins east of Malaga, with the coast and golf only 35 mins away and skiing in the winter, just 1 hour 15 mins, the villa has been designed with the 16th century Alhambra Palace in mind, but with all the luxuries and comforts of the 21 century

About Zoe Cawthorn

Nigel and I (Zoe) met in 1998 and realised that we both had a desire to live in the sun. We started looking for our dream place in the year 2000. The minute we discovered this beautiful area of Spain, we knew that this is where we wanted to be. We bought the property in 2003 and spent the next 3 years renovating it to bring it up to date. We wanted to make sure that it was updated to a high level of comfort. We have been pleased with the comments people have given us about how much they have enjoyed the property.

Zoe Cawthorn purchased this apartment in 2003
Why Zoe Cawthorn chose Orgiva

The location and views were what attracted us to the property! We knew that we would be renovating any property that we bought, so our main concern was the views and the location. Just two and a half kilometres from the market town of Origva and with spectacular views of the mountains, we find that everyone who stays here loves it. Some of the best walking areas of Europe are all around. It is so easy to access so many places from here - the beach 30 mins drive and the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada just over an hours drive away. It is so easy to access motorways to visit Granada, the coast, Cordoba and Sevilla. The mountain villages are within easy reach - the property ideally located for most things.

What makes this apartment unique

The house is surrounded by olive groves, orange and lemon trees, avacado and pomigranate trees. The water system that the Moors introduced still runs down from the Sierra Nevada mountains to this day, which means the area is unusually green for Spain. We had a blank canvass when we bought this house so after visiting Granada and Morocco many times, we gave it the style that is so right for this area - the last place the Moors lived before returning back to Morocco. You will see some of the features that we have put in, on the website, but you will see many more when you visit the house. We brought many pieces of furniture from Morocco including a fountain which is in the small courtyard.

There are also 2 health food shops and a herbalist pharmacy. Enjoying many fiestas throughout the year, this is very much a Spanish town.

Lanjaron is a spa town, where the Spanish have enjoyed treatments for over 100 years. The minerals found in the different waters are said to be an aid for any number of ailments. Visit the fascinating city of Granada with its spectacular Alhambra Palace, and the old Moorish quarters of the Albaicin. Shop in the town centre or just enjoy the hustle and bustle of the street restaurants and cafés in this ancient student town.

Just 35 mins away are the relaxing beaches of the Costa Tropical. The white villages built by the Moors have a charm and style unique to this area. Spend the day visiting different villages and discovering some of the local crafts, still practiced in the region.

Other Activities: Petanque/Boules, table-tennis and badminton facilities all available at the villa

What a fabulous place this is, close enough to Orgiva to be conveniant, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. A warm welcome from Nigel and Zoe and immaculate accommodation. When we were there in September the swimming pool was a great benefit and clean and warm. There are some delightful 'eateries' close by and some stunning walks. Everything was catered for and we had a fabulous relax in luxurious accommodation offered by a very friendly and warm welcome from the owners. We would definately return as often as we can!!

Thank you Nigel and Zoe for a really relaxing holiday with our son ,daughter in law and two small grandsons. The accommodation , care and attention to detail perfect. Also help with the children's routine really made us relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. I will never forget swimming in your pool with the sunlight shining on the lemons in the trees overhead and the happy sounds from the children playing - perfect!.

Definitely the highlight of our trip to Spain

  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2007
We're so sorry it's been so long since we stayed with you. It's been quite hectic since we've been back in Colorado. We stayed for 4 nights in your villa back in mid May and just wanted to send you our "journal entry" as we didn't have a chance to write when we were there. We had an absolutely wonderful time in your beautiful place. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Spain and we recommended it to all of our friends. The accommodation was top notch and we especially liked all the little architectural details... the stutters, the arches, the tiles, the patios and of course the pool and gardens. Sophie had a great time roaming around exploring and enjoyed seeing the little kitties in the garage. The location is perfect with easy access to the Alpujarran pueblos blancos and the coast. We have some great memories of our stay and hope to be back soon some day. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

A very special place

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 24, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
I highly recommend this property - it was everything it promised to be! The apartment afforded peace and privacy, was beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. A lot of thought has gone into the comfort of guests and their needs.

Cleanliness is obviously of paramount importance to the hosts and the beautiful, almost tropical style gardens, were all kept immaculately. I had not expected quite such lovely views and the garden has very comfy loungers - some in the shade and some in the sun.

The hosts were so helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay what we wanted it to be. We loved exploring the local mountain villages with their interesting shops and heritage and there are plenty of coastal towns not far away.

There is a particularly good bakery in Orgiva amongst a wealth of other shops. There is a very special restaurant too (hosts could advise the name) with the most beautifully presented food in Spain (I am certain!) and plenty of other bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from. That said, the cooking facilities were great, so no need to eat out if you feel like a quiet night in.

A very special place indeed.
