Photos and Description of the Orgiva vacation villa 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 villa 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 villa 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

Total Relaxation!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 9, 2008 Stayed: September 2008
Our holiday at Villa Castano was fantastic - it is the perfect destination for combining relaxation by the pool in unbelievably tranquil surroundings, with more energetic activities such as cyclying, walking and, in the winter, skiing (less than an hour's drive to the Sierra Nevada). The excellent quality of accommodation made our stay so comfortable, especially the home comfortrs such as air-con (which our baby boy hugely appreciated!), Sky TV and washing machine/dishwasher (which meant we could really make the most of our time there without wasting time cleaning, etc!). Will definitely return!!

Owner's Response: We find that young and old alike seem very happy with the what we have created here and enjoy the location very much. Thanks for your comments.

My family and I just spent 1 week with friends at the Cortijo and had a excellent time. We had booked the villa and the apartment which was great for 9 people.
The place is really comfortable with everything that you might need. The bedrooms have AC if needed. The pool is great and the boys big and small had fun playing ping pong and petanque. thank you Nigel and Zoe.

Cortijo El Castano

5 of 5
Submitted: June 25, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We have just returned from a relaxing weeks stay at Cortijo El Castano, 8 of us in total, having booked both the villa and apartment. Both properties are clean, modern and well fitted, yet still in keeping with the Moorish style and are in a beautiful setting. The area is stunning, this was our second visit to Orgiva, but the first time at the villa. Zoe and Nigel are excellent hosts, but give you privacy at the same time. The pool is so welcoming and the gardens are plenty big enough for a large party. There is table tennis and boules if you feel energetic and plenty of walks. I recommend a trip up to the mountain villages as they are well worth a visit despite the sometimes hairy drive! We ate at Alma Alpujarrena restaurant a couple of times and the food and service was excellent and the staff were friendly. A massive thank you to Zoe and Nigel for making our stay so perfect and for giving us the opportunity to stay in their beautiful villa/apartment and I highly recommend a stay there, you won't be disappointed.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind comments. It gives us great pleasure to know that you have enjoyed your stay at Cortijo el Castano. We find that living nearby seems to be received well, in that our guests always know where to find us so that we are able to help with any suggestions or problems. It is very important to us that our guests are able to enjoy their privacy whilst on holiday. Look forward to seeing you in the future. Best wishes Zoe and Nigel

The Sierra Nevada is great for motorcycling.

Zoe and Nigel, we enjoyed a great holiday. With fifteen friends we were in the Sierra Nevada for motorcycling. Orgiva is a good place for beautiful trips in the Sierra Nevada to start. After a hard day it's good to rest in the apartments. You have really helped us with the preparations but also during our stay, you were great. The breakfast was fine, nothing was too much. We come back again with pleasure

Zoe and Nigel thanks again
