The languid Mediterranean climate of the low Alpujarra is at its most enjoyable at this warm valley location by the River Guadalfeo, where the house is nicely hidden away in a natural hollow and surrounded by mature subtropical gardens on two different levels.

It’s all very fertile and colourful. Orange trees almost join hands around the pool and olive trees provide welcome shade elsewhere. There are views of Sierra Lujar mountain and the market town of Orgiva is just three minutes away by car.

The cortijo has a traditional Andalusian architectural style, open-plan to suit the climate. Outside, a raised terrace shaded by a beam-and-cane roof has quality wooden furnishings to enjoy meals prepared in the kitchen or on the barbecue, while gazing out at Sierra Lujar.

Inside, it is cheerful and sunny. The living area has an open fireplace and a dining table in one corner by the kitchen. There are is a twin bedroom and an unusual double bedroom in which the bed is ensconced in a rock cave for intimate coziness. Both bedrooms have views and doors to the terrace and are also interconnected inside.

The bathroom has very attractive Arabic tiling. The property maintains good standards of fittings and furnishing throughout and is double-glazed to guard against extremes of heat and chill.

In its quintessentially peaceful spot, this villa has been one of the longer-running and more successful of holiday homes in the Orgiva area. The swimming pool is delicious (it’s gated for children’s safety) and there is plenty of lawned garden space for children to kick a ball around or play. The gardens also have night time illumination, making walking to the house easy if you happen to come home late.

It’s easy to nip into town from here – you can even walk it when the sun’s not too strong – and more interesting hiking is just up the mountain road to the high Alpujarra. Granada and the Alhambra are just over three-quarters of an hour away and beaches at the Costa Tropical even closer.
