Located in the pretty, unspoilt village of Acequias, Casa Girasol has 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, roof terrace with far reaching views, pool terrace with 6m x 3 m pool, further private terrace off master bedroom suite, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living accommodation for 6 people on ground and first floors and car access to door (parking on street). Extra living area in form of tower room at the top with lovely far reaching Lecrin Valley views.
Casa Girasol provides the opportunity to spend time in a relaxed setting surrounded by stunning views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Lecrin Valley. The house is newly renovated - but in traditional style. The lovely surroundings offer scenic walks.
Acequias is named for the stone water channels which have been used for centuries to share precious water resources. Little has changed here and this system of acequias, which have made the Lecrin Valley so verdant, is still used by the local campesinos today.
The village is well served by the local traders who visit the small villages of the Lecrin Valley. They deliver freshly baked bread to the village daily, as well as eggs, fish, meat, seasonal fruit etc. For more comprehensive supplies, the small town of Durcal is a 5 minute drive and has supermarkets, shops, restaurants bars, banks and an internet cafe. Alternatively the neighbouring village of Niguelas is only a pleasant 20 min stroll - with much bird-life and even the odd wild Ibex (mountain goat) along the way. Niguelas also offers shops, some great tapas bars and restaurants and even an old Olive Mill museum.
The beautiful city of Granada together with its Alhambra Palace is a 25 min drive, with the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada a further 25. Llanjarron, gateway town to the Alpujarran region, is only quarter of an hour and the coast, in the shape of the picturesque white village of Salobrena (with some great fish restaurants), is also about 25 mins.
Or - try treating yourself to fabulous meal at the Alqueria de los Lentos - in a converted mill just outside Niguelas and strolling home under the stars... |
