Our cortijo and the cottage we
rent, is situated 5km outside Orgiva in a hamlet called Los
Agustines, at the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
This is still a 'living' community of mainly vegetable
farmers who till their land below us mostly by hand. Sit in
your hammock and watch them. Often one of our lovely
neighbours knocks on the door to share his produce with us.
Every afternoon some goats with bells around their necks
make their way down to the fields, or Paco or Jose go by
with their mule.
This place really is as idyllic
as it sounds! Our cottage has a little Mediterranean
balcony with amazing views over the garden, the valley and
the mountainchain across. It is set in its own small garden
with its sitting area and is surrounded by lots of lovely
colours and smells. On a lower terrace you will find the
tiled pool complete with a wavemaker. Sitting around the
pool and taking in the wonderful scenery will undoubtedly
be one of your main acvtivities here!
A few more steps take you down
to a centenary olivetree under which is the BBQ and a
Moorish style sitting area, here is also, where you can sit
in the hammock and read that favorite book of yours. If you
don't feel like cooking and want to have a relaxing time,
let us know and we will prepare you breakfast and/or a
lovely surprise dinner menu on one of our charming
terraces! Come, relax and enjoy
The cottage is a studio/cottage
and offers a doublebed (singlebed if you come alone), a
cozy bathroom with a big shower(90 x 90), a furnished
kitchen with a 2 flame hob, toaster, kettle, coffeemaker,
frige/freezer and of course all the kitchen utensils you
might need. There is also a lovely sitting corner with a
glass fronted woodburner for the cooler month of the year,
besides which we also offer centralheating. There will be
use of a washingmachine, an iron and ironingboard.
You want to be active? Then
join us for coffee and cake in the afternoon! Maybe you'd
like to be included in the daily activities? Then help us
or our neighbours to pick olives or harvest vegetables or
just watch us doing it. You can go for short walks or
longer hikes - down into the country past all kinds of
exotic trees and/or up into the hills and mountains of the
Sierra Nevada. A short stroll into the country is highly
recommended during the full moon! Sit by the pool at night
with your favorite drink, switch off all the lights and
enjoy the moonrise or set, awesome! On moonfree nights you
can stargaze and explore the whole milkyway and don´t
forget to make a wish with one of the many shooting stars.
Go sightseeing in Granada with its famous Alhambra (50
minutes away) or visit the white washed villages of the
Alpujarras (20 minutes away).
Ask us about local handicrafts
(pottery, weaving, leather weaving) and woodworks etc.
Orgiva (5km away) offers everything you might need - there
is a colourful weekly market (Thursdays), daily market,
shops, cafes, bars, banks and ATMs, dentist, doctor,
internet cafe etc. If you are looking for more activity
then ask us about horse-riding, guided hiking trips as well
as reiki, reflexology and different types of massages - all
of these can be arranged. Maybe you are looking for Spanish
lessons? This is your home from home, just lean back and
unwind! We speak English, German and of course Spanish.
