In springtime the olive clad hillsides are a riot of almond, peach, pomegranate and mimosa blossom and are as the Spanish say, 'muy bonito'. Situated approx. 1 hr from Granada Airport and 1.5 hrs from Malaga Airport and adjoining the Provinces of Cordoba and Malaga, Casa Mimosa is ideally placed for exploring inland and coastal Andalucia. Whether you are touring by car, cycling or walking the province of Granada has much to offer everyone.
At Casa Mimosa you can relax and enjoy the serenity of the Andalucian hillsides for a truly authentic Spanish holiday experience (without the town noise). At night enjoy a drink on the terrace beside your own lemon tree and flowering shrubs and watch the shooting stars in the night sky.
