Vacation Rental Description

The house from the gardens....
Relax on your private terrace
Paradise. In a 6 acre oasis of beauty and tranquillity, set in one of the finest locations in the Alpujarras, our recently completed, totally private, farmhouse apartment, "Los Molinillos", is now available for rent. Only a few minutes countryside walk away from the pretty villages of Capileira and Bubion, the apartment has an uninterrupted view of the entire Poquera Valley and the majestic Sierra Lujar. The Mediterranean can often be seen as a silver wedge in the distance with the Rif Mountains of Morocco floating above it. Behind the farm, to the north, the peaks of the high Sierras, snow-covered in the winter months, are etched across the sky. Los Molinillos is surrounded by a parkland of chestnuts, oaks, poplars, walnuts, almonds, cherries and other fruit trees. A 20m high waterfall drops into a rocky basin in one corner of the property and the sound of falling water and birdsong are the only extraneous noises you are likely to notice here.

Distances
Orgiva, the largest market town in the area, is about fifteen kilometres from Los Molinillos. Capileira and Bubion, very attractive local pueblos, have a selection of bars and restaurants, a bank, fresh deli, pharmacy, bakery, supermarket etc. and are only five minutes away by car.
Further details
Los Mollinilos is located in a unique micro-climatic pocket of fertile land on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevadas. It is a lovely place for a relaxed holiday and a great base for walking, bird watching, mountain biking or horse riding. A walking or bird watching guide can be arranged. Bookings for the Alhambra in Granada can be made from here (by telephone) but because of the current controlled daily numbers of visitors, the dates you want should be thought of well in advance.
