Stunning private garden and pool, spacious villa set around beautiful courtyard

Spacious four bedroom Moorish-style villa built around a large shaded courtyard, lots of character, totally private large walled garden with magnificent pool, olive, orange trees, superb mountain views. A rural retreat. Orgiva is five minutes drive or a 15 to 20 minute walk. Bars, restaurants, health food shops, supermarkets. Nearby charming mountain "white" villages. Beach 30 minutes, Granada 45 minutes. Ideal for two families (two cots, two highchairs and a rugged, three-wheel pushchair are all provided) or a group of friends.
The house is not fitted with air conditioning as it is mainly built in the traditional style with very thick walls to keep the bedrooms cool, however there are fans in every room.
We do not have a barbecue due to the risk of fire in the summer. You are welcome to use disposable barbecues but please ensure they are safely put out when finished.


NEW SAFETY MEASURES IN THE LIGHT OF COVID 19

1) to make your holiday as safe as possible. We are doing the following:
- we will be doing a deep clean between stays and providing sanitizers.
- we're happy to provide a basic welcome pack.
- we'll send a supermarket link on line so you can order your food.
- we can also let you know about take away deliveries.
- the property is ideal in the circumstances because it is completely private, relatively rural and yet only 15 to 20 minutes walk into town. Guests have often said that they rarely needed to leave the villa because of the beautiful views, spacious garden and large pool.

2) We've altered our cancellation policy so that a booking can be cancelled within 30 days (rather than 60) with a full refund and within 14 days with a 50% refund. (Please see website).

Family holiday
Loved the house. The garden is magical and the pool stunning, lots of lovely places to sit and eat outside. I especially liked my room at the end with the onsuite bathroom, gorgeous decor and tiles. Only one issue which is the 2 central bedrooms were abit too hot at night, aircon in those would really help.. would book again. Maybe the dark blue doesn’t help?

Accurate description of the property
I cannot fault the accuracy of the description of the property. The garden and pool are lovely ace the villa is very spacious ace clean inside. The outside tables had take clothes on them which required a wash down, but the garden was a wonderful place to relax in. Orgiva is quite a good base to see other places, but there are windy roads before you get anywhere! Overall, a good place to go and chill.

Standard far below what we expected.
After we paid for this stay we were advised all used toilet paper should be put in a bag and not flushed down toilet. If we had been told this before we booked we would not have stayed there. There were ants all over the kitchen worktops every day. The house was not clean at all, main shower especially. When we arrived there was no hot water to the main area. We were expected to pay for the gas cylinders if the gas ran out, but fortunately the pool man came and sorted this out. The furniture was very poor and scruffy. The only good thing about the house was the garden and pool. The road to the house was a one track road and a nightmare if a car was coming in opposite direction, be prepared for damages to the car. We would definitely not stay here again, it was pretty dire.

Better than the photos, a serene and beautifully decorated home which felt just like the holiday we wanted. Great communication with the owner on every occasion (inc her very kind help when our toddler fell poorly and we needed medicine). Really over and above in every aspect. Would return very happily. Thank you!

Fantastic property
The property is really spacious, beautiful and full of character. We were a three generation family group of 5 and it was perfect for us - a great base for exploring the Alpujarras and a really comfortable home for those who preferred a more leisurely holiday. The pool was especially appreciated.

Very lovely but perhaps not exactly what I was expecting, the house is very charismatic and specious and owners and staff on call to assist at a few moments notice, has many lovely features. I found ( in my personal opinion) that the garden wasn’t all that private and referring to some of the complaints I read in another review it is true that the Wi-Fi seems to struggle even though it was just me using it. The location of the house could hardly be described as the slums as someone else did , the house is well located for peace and quiet but it is true that the road is a bit tight at times and not well kept by the town’s council. There is plenty of cooking knives. The garden is beautiful but unfortunately not knowing exactly when the gardener is going to turn up doesn’t really let you relax , the gardener did turn up on the last day and left the garden the way I would have wanted to find it on arrival but still it is a pretty garden. Of all the properties I have rented in the past perhaps this one I wouldn’t choose again but you have to understand that this is due to very personal reasons and taste. A property I absolutely loved before had poor reviews by other previous users. Long story short, visit this property because I m sure a family with children might find it quite safe and disconnecting. A group of friends… don’t know. Orgiva surprisingly seems to have an issue with homeless and even drugs, I saw things I did not expect in Andalucía at all. Good, just not for me.

Our Stay in April at Villa Estrellita
We had a lovely time in this pretty, Moorish style Alpujarran house on the outskirts of Orgiva. There is a fantastic view from the garden of nearby mountains. We enjoyed the pool even though it was early season and a bit chilly. We did have a number of warm days. We did quite a few walks in the Alpujarras; and Granada and the Alhambra were spectacular and within easy reach (but must be pre-booked weeks in advance).

Pretty, Rustic villa
The villa is set in beautiful grounds with lots of fruit trees and a terrific swimming pool. The villa is equipped with everything you need to relax. Although the villa doesn`t have air-con the fans in all the rooms keep you cool at night. Access to the villa is on a tarmaced narrow road with parking next to the villa and additional parking in the grounds of La Florita opposite. The town of Orgiva is picturesque and has a multitude of shops, cafes and restaurants, plus an excellent medical centre thats open 24hrs. The town has adequate parking as its quite a walk. The only negative for us was the constant, loud, nocturnal dog barking from near by properties.

An oasis of calm
This is the perfect villa for a relaxing week in beautiful surroundings - tastefully rustic, thoughtfully furnished and decorated in attractive, muted colour schemes. And outside - a wonderful courtyard, verdant garden and pool where you can soak up the view of the mountains.

We hadden heerlijk verblijf in deze prachtige villa, die heel origineel is ingericht. Het is rustig gelegen en de tuin en terrassen zijn zalig! In de omgeving veel mooie en uitdagende wandelingen te doen. Orgiva is mooi, Lanjoron vonden wij nog mooier. Heerlijk genoten dus!

Besonderes Haus mit wunderschönem Garten
Das Haus und seine Einrichtung haben eine individuelle und charmante Athmosphäre, kein Ikea-Standard. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Garten ist traumhaft schön und der Pool ist groß und sauber. Alles wird regelmäßig geplegt. Es gibt aureichend Sonnenliegen, viel Platz zum Chillen und natürliche Schattenplätze unter Bäumen und Palmen. Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr ruhig am Ende einer Sackgasse, es gibt fast keinen Autoverkehr, man hört höchstens ein paar Hunde bellen. Da wir während einer extremen Hitzewelle von bis zu 40 Grad da waren, hätten wir uns über eine Klimaanlage gefreut. Es gibt zwar Ventilatoren in jedem Raum, aber bei diesen Temperaturen konnten sie nicht für ausreichend Abkühlung sorgen. Der Ort Orgiva ist okay, es gibt einige Supermärkte und Restaurants, aber in der näheren Umgebung kann man deutlich schönere Orte besuchen. Die Lage ist generell gut für Ausflüge. Mit dem Auto erreicht man viele interessante Ziele in 1 bis maximal 2 Stunden. Zum Wandern gibt es in den Bergen der Alpujarra sehr viele Möglichkeiten. Zum Baden findet man an der Küste eine große Auswahl an Stränden, meistens Kiesstrände, man muss aber gut 45 Minuten fahren. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern Sue & Martin war sehr angenehm und hat immer schnell und gut geklappt. Vielen Dank!

Grata Experiencia
Sue y Martin fueron muy amables. Respondieron rápidamente a todos nuestros mensajes y complacieron nuestras peticiones. La casa tiene un jardín enorme y muy bien cuidado. También tiene una piscina de buen tamaño que lamentablemente no pudimos usar por estar fuera de temporada, pues fuimos en diciembre. El area social sala.-comedor-cocina es muy amplia. Eramos 8 adultos y había espacio para todos. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y hay camas para acomodar perfectamente a 8 adultos y un niño. También cuenta con tres baños completos. La casa está a las afueras del pueblo de Órgiva, a unos 4 minutos en coche. Se le accede por una carretera estrecha. Hay puesto para aparcar al lado de la casa donde se pueden acomodar dos coches, y hasta tres si son pequeños, La ubicación de la casa está genial, pues está a poca distancia de muchos sitios de interés. Además de ser un buen punto de partida para visitar los pueblos de La Alpujarra, queda a menos de una hora de la ciudad de Granada y de pueblos en la costa, como Salobreña. En general, tuvimos una grata experiencia.
