Four villas for rent in Las Barreras, Orgiva, Las Alpujarras, Granada

Gate to one of four enchanting casitas	Old stone farmhouse with all mod-cons
Panoramic 360 degree views of the valley	Enchanting pools with childrens area

With sheltered patios, each of the casitas is quiet and private, but also close enough together to be perfect for groups and large family holidays. Rent one house or any combination of the four.

Uniquely situated on a secluded, tree-covered ridge in a bowl of mountains, there are 360-degree panoramic views. To the north rise the snow-covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada, to the south the majestic Sierra de Lujar and the sparkling Mediterranean. Beaches, white mountain villages, and Granada are all easy drives. Walk from the door of your apartment through the surrounding olive, orange and lemon groves, and beyond to the mountains or the Guadalfeo river. Swim in the pretty, chemical-free pools, picnic in the shade of an olive tree, or just lie in the sun and read a book from the well-stocked bookshelves.

Unlike most vacation homes these are air-conditioned and centrally heated with energy saving heat pumps. The ecological philosophy runs through the designs with hot water from solar panels and chemical free swimming pools. The farm itself is completely organic, producing olives, oranges, lemons and much more in season. A perfect rural home from home, but so different!

From walking and bird watching to the thrills of rock climbing, horse tracking and paragliding there is an enormous variety of holiday activities to enhance your vacation. You or your children can have swimming lessons in the pool. Private Yoga lessons can also be arranged.

Nowadays there are many cheap flights, not only to Malaga and Almeria, but also direct to Granada International Airport, which is only 45 minutes away.
