Walking trails lead out from the village to the whole of Sierra Nevada National Park.

The scenery surrounding Acequias is stunning and the village small and friendly. Within walking distance the larger villages of Lecrin and Niguelas offer a wide range of services. Bread, fish, vegetables and other foods are delivered Acequias nearly every day.

Casa Roma is a two bedroomed house in a quiet corner of the Tia Maria site. The entrance is from a semi private patio with large double wooden doors to the street. This gives privacy enabling the guest to use the patio as a seating area in the event that the roof terrace is too hot! Entering the house there is an open plan living room, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with gas stove, fridge freezer, and plenty of work surface and cupboards. The gas hot water heater is in the kitchen and the washing up area overlooks the patio. In the living room area there is a sofa and sofabed, a music centre, study area and Spanish TV. Heating is provided by an excellent Hergom cast iron woodburner. Upstairs to the bedrooms and large bathroom. Here the master bedroom and the twin bedded room both have built in wardrobes and there is a balcony overlooking the patio.

Casa Tia Maria is a lovely house set in its own gardens in the village of Acequias, some 30 km south from Granada on the south-west facing side of the Valley of Lecrin. It is the 'Casa Señorial' of the village. We restored it and enhanced it with a large pool and more trees, which ten years on have grown lush and verdant. Here we have three guest apartments, El Balcon, Casa Roma and Casa Mirador, which are available for rental. These apartments vary in the number of bedrooms, and situation, but each comes equipped with washing machine, bath/shower room(s), large living rooms which incorporate the kitchen/dining area, and large terrace-balconies overlooking the gardens and pool, the perfect setting for dinner or breakfast al fresco. The apartments all benefit from WiFi INTERNET connection. In the summer months the extensive outside space enclosed by the walls of the garden means that children can play in complete safety.

The Lecrin Valley area: There are plenty of things to do around Acequias, for example visiting the pretty villages just a few minutes’ drive away with exotic names such as Melegis and Restabal. The villages in the Valley make a pleasant excursion and most have bars and restaurants. Granada, an ancient Moorish town famous for its history, architecture and the extraordinary Alhambra Palace and Gardens, is just 30 minutes away. A half-hour’s drive to the east lies the Alpujarras – a unique mountainous area of ancient hill villages with cube-like, whitewashed houses which are very similar to Berber settlements found in North Africa. Drive south for just 30 minutes to the Costa Tropical, which has been unspoilt by package tourism. Salobreña is the nearest beach town to Acequias and a popular holiday resort. Enjoy the superb skiing facilities at Sol y Nieve, the international ski resort high in the Sierras, also an easy beginners resort.

Casa Roma in Tia Maria

We stayed in 2008 and enjoyed the comfortable modern house with a "homely feel" with bits of the owners pictures and painting around. The kitchen was big enough to eat in and we made good use of the washing machine. We bought fresh bread from the bread vans, and other supplies from the nearby villages, so a car is needed.

The peaceful location with easy access to the hills for walking, Granada for culture, and the coast for the sea, made it all a relaxing week, just the job for the "getaway from it all" break we needed.

Returning to the garden and the pool after a day of sightseeing was a treat, as was relaxing on the terrace with our drinks and books.

Wonderful countryside on the doorstep, recommended to friends, and we will go again.

This is a lovely house with an attractive garden and shared swimming pool. The pool is large and it was never crowded.

Casa Roma was perfectly clean and tidy when we arrived, and the owners are friendly and helpful. It is situated in a small village, perfectly situated between Granada and the seaside.

You will need a car to stay here, because there are no facilities or transport in the village. There are shops, restaurants and bars in the surrounding villages.
I recommend the house, without any hesitation.

the spirit of flamenco Granada - more than just the Alhambra

Together with my partner Tim, I moved to Granada`s Lecrin Valley in 1993 and we quickly established our holiday rentals business, starting ith B&B in the picturesque village of Acequias.

Since that time we have developed over 50 properties in the Lecrin valley and other areas of Granada province, and we always keep a few of these for holiday rental, enabling you to stay with us in many parts of Granada - the Costa Tropical, Lecrin Valley, the city of Granada, and the Sierra de Huetor - with the guarantee of quality and management which can only be offered by people who have cleaned the houses and mended the taps themselves!

What are our favourite features of each of these places? Well they are not just the obvious. The Costa Tropical has beaches it is true, but the towns of Almuñecar and Salobreña are notable more for their historic castles surrounded by villages of medieval origin, a haven of delightful shops and bars which line the cobbled streets.

Lecrin Valley is a cluster of a dozen villages gathered around the impressive Beznar Lake, a body of water which changes colour and form from whichever angle you view it. The massive Sierra Nevada, Iberia´s highest mountains, rise up from the Lecrin Valley, which has been since ancient times the primary pass between the city of Granada and the coast; now with modern roads, a holiday home in the Valley can be only 25 minutes drive from either.

The city of Granada is famous for the Alhambra, but for many the experience of viewing the Castle and Palace from the neighbouring Moorish old town, the Albaicin, and then wandering around the narrow streets and viewing the exquisite architecture, is just as much a pleasure. Granada as a city is famous for its bars and tapas - they are free with each drink - and in our apartment there are many suggestions as to how you can enjoy these "a tope´"!

Finally the interior of Granada province contains the surprising city of Guadix, famous for its cave houses which accommodate a quarter of the urban population, many of them gypsies who have turned theri homes into flamenco bars and shrines to the spirit of their way of life. Our houses in nearby Diezma are only ten minutes drive from Guadix, and in the opposite direction nearer to Granada you find the Sierra de Huetor National Park, a vast reserve of unspoilt limestone terrain, criss crossed by deep valleys which score the landscape.
