Cortijo
Castaño is a luxurious holiday home with 3 bedrooms and swimming pool
in the heart of the Alpujarra Natural Park on the southern slopes of the Sierra
Nevada. It is situated 5 minute's walk above Capileira, an attractive white-washed
village with a good selection of bars, restaurants and craft shops. It is also
the perfect location for setting out on some of the most interesting treks in
the area. Cortijo Castaño is a beautifully built house, in the traditional
style and fashioned from natural stone from the region. Both exterior and interior
are very well maintained and all materials and furnishings are of the highest
quality. The house has three bedrooms all of which have their own en-suite
bathroom. The lounge has a cosy sitting area and open fire place and there is
also central heating throughout. There is plenty of space for relaxing outdoors,
including roof terraces with stunning views of the Sierra Nevada and the coastal
strips of the Costa Tropical. On clear days the view even extends to the Moroccan
Rif mountains on the horizon. The large 10 x 5 metre swimming pool is
situated below the house and is surrounded by a terraced area with garden furniture
and sun loungers. There is also a kitchen area by the pool with refrigerator,
sink and barbecue as well as a covered area for eating al fresco. It is a lovely
place for enjoying the long evenings and the star-filled Andalusian sky at night. There
is a separate entrance door which leads to another apartment in the villa that
is used by the Spanish owner. She is a very discreet and hospitable person and
takes care of the pool and the gardens. There is parking space for several
cars next to the house. Granada and the coast are a 75 minute drive.
