What our guests say:
“The apartment is part of a beautifully restored home, occupied for over 200 years and typical of the style of old houses in Andalucia. The house surrounds a Moorish style internal patio, has many of the original features, a wonderful, large rooftop terrace with views over the mountains and all the facilities to make this a wonderful place to stay!”

There are some laminated maps in the apartment to help you plan a day out, or of course you are more than welcome to ask us about any ideas you may have.

History:
Travelling south from Granada in the 7th Century the Moors reached a vast, fertile valley encompassed within a bowl of mountains. The land had everything they prized – good earth, free-flowing rivers and the natural fortification of the sierras. Captivated by its beauty, they named it El Valle de Lecrín – which is commonly interpreted by the locals today as “Valley of Happiness”.
