Description of holiday house in Albunuelas, Andalucia

Fabulous views and many thoughtful details - traditional beamed ceilings, interesting alcoves and a stunning Moorish bathroom are there to be enjoyed, as well as the invisible comforts such as underfloor heating in winter and good showers with plentiful hot water. Casa Idrisi is named after Europe's first mapmaker the Moor Al Idrisi - whose route took him through Albuñuelas and along much of what is now the great GR7 walking route from Algeciras to Istabunal. One of the distinctive GR7 red and white markers is on the wall of the house.

Idrisi has the largest roof terrace of any of our village houses and boasts unparalleled views - not only down the valley to the Alpujarras, but also across the valley to the Rio Santo gorge and up the valley to the Sierra de Albuñuelas. The living room and master bedroom also enjoy stunning views. Idrisi also shares our garden amid the orange orchards - which can be used by tenants for picnics, BBQs, or splashing about in the paddling pool. It is situated close to La Joya, Casa de la Lagartija, Casa de la Puerta Grande & any of these properties can be rented out together to larger parties if desired. Car access is not possible to the house, but it is possible to park in the square nearby.

Location description

About the Lecrin Valley:
Just south of Granada, beyond the "Sigh of the Moor" pass (so called because here the last Moorish king paused on his journey into exile, and sighed for the beautiful city he had lost) lies a valley so beautiful that it was named by the Moors 'the Valley of Joy' - El Valle de Lecrin.

Traditional White Village of Albuñuelas
Here in the traditional white village of Albuñuelas, overlooking the dramatic Rio Santo gorge, we have four lovingly restored houses for you to choose from. In these houses you will find the chestnut beams, copper sinks and handmade tiles of local tradition, combined with discreet comforts such as limitless hot water and underfloor heating in winter.

All of the houses have roof terraces and all have breathtaking views of the Rio Santo gorge and the Las Güejaras Sierras. In addition all of the houses have free use of our private garden where, if you wish, you can have a paddling pool for children, or alternatively just sit among glossy leaved orange trees and drink in the vistas of the distant mountains.

Other activities

Outdoor Activities
Epic walks start, literally, from the doorstep. The great GR7 route from Algeciras to Istanbul passes the door (the marker is on the wall of one of the houses) and there are plenty of other routes for walkers of all levels. Or, for those who prefer to ride, horse riding is available from the Upper Barrio of the village. Granada with its flamenco culture, historic buildings, lovely tapas bars and fascinating Moroccan souk is a 25 minute drive away.

Local events

Fresh Baked Bread & Catch-of-the-day !
Albuñuelas is a unique place - the most beautiful of the villages in the Lecrin Valley, where the narrow winding streets are free from cars and troubled only by the occasional donkey winding its way back from a day's work in the orange groves. Although tranquil, this village has a restaurant, a choice of 4 tapas bars, 2 shops, a pharmacy & a Thursday morning market - and the breadman and the fishman honk their horns each morning as they wind their way through the streets selling freshly baked bread and cakes and the catch of the day straight from the Mediterranean Sea.
