Private, attractive Alpujarra villa with pool, gardens and views

This was the best Spanish property we've stayed in.It was peaceful, very private, rural, remote and everything was provided, plus the salt water pool was fabulous. We were well looked after and highly recommend it."

We had a superb holiday! The communication from Rustical Travel was very good and we will use them again. The finca is beautiful, the gardens are lovely, the views superb and we had everything we needed. The salt pool was great and kept extremely clean by Nikki, who was great all round. The check in was really easy and smooth and all small issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We had such an amazing time. We couldn't recommend it enough."

Would have rated this property 'excellent' apart from the intermittent flapping noise seemingly coming from the air-conditioning unit in the master bedroom. This meant that we had to swap bedrooms during our stay to ensure a good night's sleep for everyone. We would like to return, but would have to be certain this had been fixed before doing so."

We had an amazing holiday at this house the views were just incredible! The house itself had everything you needed and more and the pool was perfect! We will definitely go back it was pure relaxation in a perfect setting!"

This is our fourth time of coming to this finca. It is a beautiful house with swimming pool, amazing views, many different seating areas, large garden. Very comfortable accommodation in stunning landscape."

The house was setup to be livid in, a beautiful setting. It felt like coming home rather than just a business. one of the better houses we've stayed in and we all talked about coming back. One minor note is that it looked as though there used to be doors to the area infront of the house, if these were replaced it would be great for people with small children. One of us was thinking of coming back with her daughter and grandchildren but wasn't sure about access to the garden and then pool."

Absolutely amazing Villa all communication was excellent would definitely return . A little bit of paradise tucked away ???"

Super service from Rustical Travel Dream property"

The location was beautiful with amazing views and very peaceful and relaxing. Very comfortable villa with everything you might need. Wonderful pool and beautiful garden. Would love to come back"

Beautiful villa with stunning views and fantastic sea water pool in the Alpujarra mountains. Half an hour to the sea, half an hour to white villages"

This was out first trip with Rustical and we would certainly go with them again. Well organised, with very thorough communication. Beautiful property, as described. Very clean, with very friendly and helpful people on site. Couldn't have improved on the experience in any way."

We absolutely loved this property. The views of the mountains are incredible. The house is secluded and peaceful with spacious gardens and an amazing pool. The owners have thought of everything and the house really feels like a home. There are so many books, dvds, board games, jigsaws and pool toys to choose from. The house has so much character, we loved all the different littles areas to chill out in. Location was great...easy 10 min drive into Orgiva for shops, bars etc.. yet when you return to the villa you feel like you're in a different world, nestled into the hills. We had a perfect week here. We really appreciated the wine, bread, milk etc..that was waiting for us on arrival. The house has so much"

Great property. A few few rest days. Perfect"

In 1 word:Amazing! The contact with rustical travel was perfect. We had an amazing time in the rural house in Orgiva. The views were magnificent, there was enough shade, it was 40 degrees outside but the house staid cool, only 1 room had Airco but all the rooms had blowers. If you like silence, nature and the Campo life, this house is perfect for your holiday. We are definitely coming back!"

lovely property particulary outside in lovely location with glorious views."

Great week in the Alpujarras!"

We have used Rustical Travel several times over the years. We always find the customer service to be second to none. The little extras they provide such as directions to supermarkets on the way to our villa are especially appreciated. We will be using Rustical Travel for future holidays in Spain."

The villa was beautiful in a stunning location- couldnt have asked for more."

This is the second time we have been here and it is our favourite Spanish property. You can tell this was a family home because the attention to detail is outstanding. Cannot be faulted. We want to come again!"

A perfect hideaway, beautifully maintained in gorgeous surroundings: this was our third visit and probably not our last. Even though there are adjacent properties, it’s easy to spend an entire week there (as we did) without seeing another soul! The views are wonderful, the breeze keeps the July heat in check and the pool is a perfect temperature. Not the place if you want lots of nightlife (even Orgiva is a 20 minute drive), but if beauty and tranquillity (along with mod cons in the villa) is what you’re after, then you can’t really beat AP33."

The house and gardens were beautiful,with amazing views. Neil and Nicki were very helpful. Although the drive up was a challenge, we soon got used to it and would definitely book again."

It was great!"

Such a fantastic holiday!!! Rustical Travel were very professional, provided excellent information for our holiday, easy to use website and links and were simply a delight to deal with. I would definitely recommend them and use them again myself. The Finca we stayed at was absolutely stunning. It is the perfect balance of an authentic rustic finca, whilst being modernised with beautiful materials on the inside. It was like a sanctuary whilst keeping with the local finishes, culture, history and lifestyle. The owners have lovingly restored this property and kindly have left details about the history of the finca. The property is beautiful. The countryside is magical, there are beautiful walks, mountain villages to explore, local music performances to see, spanish cuisine to try and beaches within 45 minutes! On the land of the property there’s are many fresh fruit trees, we enjoyed fresh picked berries and oranges to make juice - divine! The swimming pool has the most amazing mountain views !! We enjoyed the property so much we extended our stay to two weeks when we arrived. The property is very child friendly, and the design is thoughtful as two families could easily stay and have some privacy or the children can have one side and the adults the other ! The owners and the people who maintain the villa are just a delight to deal with and have so much local information as well. In summary, people often refer to ‘God’s country’. This finca would definitely fit that description and has left a mark on our whole family forever. I feel privileged to have experienced this wonderful part of the world. Enjoy!!"

We loved the villa, and found it perfect in every way. It was kitted out v much like a home rather than a rental. Found your guys info v good too. Used the info about beaches and restaurants. Directions excellent too. All great, 10/10 x"

We had the most wonderful week at this beautiful, clean, comfortable and stylish property. The booking system was very efficient and the information provided really helpful. The grounds and pool are beautiful and well maintained, and the house is charming. Would absolutely love to stay here again and would definitely book through rustical travel again."

A simply divine retreat in a stunning location. Everything was just as described and the perfect place to just relax, unwind and take in the wonderful ambience of the Alpujarras region."

A lovely property - stunning location and very well appointed. The pool was great and warm enough to spend time in when we stayed at the end of May. House was clean, nicely laid out and had a well equipped kitchen. There was plenty of space indoors for a family of 6, but it was the outside space that really made the property - lots of terraces with wonderful views out across the valley and large landscape gardens which the kids loved roving around in. The road up to the property takes a bit of getting used to, but we navigated with a 7 seater for the week without any issues. All in all a great spot to relax with family and we would definitely recommend to others. Rustical Travel were also very good to deal with - very responsive to questions ahead of our trip and the info they provided on local area and how to reach the property was all very helpful. Will use again. Matt"

What an amazing property. It was everything we were looking for and more. A well furnished, well equipped home from home. Location was perfect and the property itself and it's surrounding area was just what we needed - it was beautiful, remote and idyllic. The perfect holiday! There was some sound advice from the owner, which we followed for our adventures and the pool was a well maintained added bonus with the perfect setting. Rustical Travel - we would definitely be using you again! This property is the perfect retreat and we will, without a doubt, be visiting it once again. Highly recommended."

What an absolute delight! You can’t call AP33 a holiday rental, or even a holiday home, it’s truly a home and we felt like very welcome guests. It is so very well cared for and loved. Everything you need (and things you don’t even know you need) are there. Loved the simple décor, all looks effortless, but I’m certain a heap of thought has gone into everything. The views are magnificent and always changing with the light. Pool and the pool terrace are just glorious, as are the very many different places to sit out and eat, or read, or just be. Rustical Travel, this is the best ever."

We have rented many fine properties from the excellent Rustical Travel but this one has to be the best. The location is stunning, the salt water pool was divine, so many different outside seating areas, topped by the outdoor sofa bed, which always seemed to be wafted by a light breeze, with an amazing view over the valley. Dreamy. We would love to return."

Hello all, We have spend two weeks in this beautiful environment, and made all the pictures that we have seen, ourselves. So yes, it does exist: an unspoilt hidden place. We do not have a complaint about anything, only minor issue is that it is a bit away from supermarkets and some pleasure as nice terracces. It takes 3 quarters to go to nice places like Nerja for instances, on a very narrow road. Service - from cleaning to administration - of Rustical Travel was excellent. Rob and Meta - first two weeks of September 2016"

This is one of the best villas we have stayed in, so good you don't really want to go anywhere else. Its located up in the mountains and the scenery is beautiful. Its a small 10 minute one way track out of Orgiva and then you come to a grove of trees and your at the villa. Once inside, Its even better than the pictures and definitely has the wow factor. The garden is huge and is packed with beautiful flowers and fruit trees. The villa is really well equipped, the kitchen has everything you may need- dishwasher tabs, washing powder, etc so you don't need to bring anything like that with you. There was olive oil available, tea, coffee, and some milk and water to get you started. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. There was a playstation and Wii, the TV channels were just local ones, but we didn't really bother with it at all. It was so nice outside, that's where we spent most of our time by the best feature - the pool. The pool was beautiful, large, clean and quite deep at one end there is a good bag of pool toys and inflatables available in the outdoor store. My little boy learned to swim in that pool, its a lovely little area around the pool with lots of loungers and table, parasol. There is an impressive BBQ area, but one of the best spots is the outside sofa bed - perfect for reading and relaxing. We visited the little white washed villages, high up in the mountains (Capileira, Bubión) we also visited Granada, if you want to visit the Alhambra, please book in advance or you could be disappointed! All in all an amazing villa, the wine and welcome card was a lovely personal touch - thank-you. We also thought Rustic Travel were great, they sent out a fantastic information pack prior to our hols."

This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful property (booked through Rustical Travel on both occasions), and it was just as beautiful as we remembered. The large grounds are great for kids to run around and explore and the pool was a real hit, as were the inflatables which were all in good condition. The air conditioned master bedroom provided welcome relief from the 38C heat of the day. Both Granada and also the coastal beaches are within was reach, as are the nearby mountain villages making this an ideal location to explore this part of Spain. This remains the best Spanish villa we have stayed in and we will definitely be returning."

This beautiful, well-maintained property was so delightful that we had a hard time tearing ourselves away to explore nearby areas. The bicyclist biked up to snow-topped mountains; hikers walked nearby hills; the architect prowled white villages. The one-year-old rolled oranges around -- so many balls under those fruit trees! -- and loved stomping in the shallows of the gorgeous pool. Our favorite part of each day was dinner on the porch as the sun set and stars bloomed across the sky. We hope to return."

Thank you, once again, in one of your gorgeous properties, we had the most wonderful holiday. Everything from booking the holiday to the information pack and then the actual house was fantastic. I can not thank you enough. We will definately be booking with you again. Thanks, Kind regards, Cate"

Our trip to Orgiva and AP33 was wonderful. The secluded location of the villa with stunning views and grounds made it the perfect get-away. The accommodation was perfect and the villa had everything we needed for a wonderful break with our friends from Australia. The pool was lovely, and the outside eating space was more than we expected. The outside sofa-bed is an inspired creation and was a great way to get out of the heat of the sun and still relax outside. It was exceptionally hot when we stayed there this August and so my only suggestion would be that all the bedrooms need air-conditioning as it was really difficult to sleep at night. Apart from that it was a delight and we would love to return for another visit."

We had a great holiday at this beautiful villa - rural Spain made a very interesting change from the usual seaside resorts. Set in a beautiful location, the villa had everything, from a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable tasteful decor and furnishings to a magnificent terraced garden,complete with a children's play area and a superb pool. We enjoyed wandering round the garden and picking fresh figs,pomegranates and almonds ! It was interesting to see some of the places mentioned in "Driving Over Lemons" plus the mountain villages from Pampaneira to Trevelez, and of course Granada. The staff at the villa were friendly and extremely helpful, and we also found Rustcal Travel very helpful and easy to deal with. We found your travel information very useful. Altogether an excellent holiday."

This was our second time at this villa and it was as perfect as we remembered. Can't be faulted. The service from Rustical Travel, as always, was second to none."

Absolutely beautiful villa in a stunning location. Totally private in large grounds with loads of space for kids to run around. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AP33 and all agreed that this was easily the best villa we had stayed at in Spain. We've already booked to return next year."

Cannot recommend highly enough. A beautifully renovated traditional Spanish finca with every home comfort you could need. Absolutely stunning location with views across the rolling hills. Watching the light change as the sun sets from any of the comfy seating areas around the house and the pool was a lovely end to each day. This was the second time we have been and it was as good as we had remembered. We will be back again."

We were totally impressed with the homeliness of the villa. The accommodation suited our needs perfectly, and the swimming pool was the best we have ever encountered. A lovely holiday thoroughly enjoyed by all – thank you both so much."

The property is located in a stunning location. The villa has been very thoughtfully designed and felt like a home-from-home. Would highly recommend"

We have had such an amazing stay. We feel so lucky to have found such a hidden gem. Very comfortable, a real home from home! Neil has been great – rescued us from a mountain track when we had a flat tyre! Thank you. See you next time."

What an amazing place. This place has been renovated beautifully and it really feels like a family home. The views are also wonderful as are the gardens. We all had a fantastic time here and it’s a great base to go exploring from. It’s a shame we only booked for one week but we would certainly hope to come back"

Absolute perfection, a real slice of heaven! Attention to detail second to none, thank you. A return visit to be planned"

Our second visit to this wonderful finca, high in the mountains, completely secluded, amazing views, beautiful garden and lovely pool. A real home from home with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended, particularly if you like privacy, peace and quiet."

We have been holidaying in Spain for 10 years. Every year we stay in a different villa – always looking for that PERFECT one – we have finally found it!! Thank you very much."

Wow! What a great place! Everyone was amazed with how fantastic the place was from minute one. The house is in a fantastic condition, and is certainly lived up to expectations. Thank you very much"

We’ve had a wonderful holiday, just wish we could stay longer. The villa is beautiful and the view too. This was more than we hoped for and we’d all love to come back. The boys loved the story books. Thank you so much"

Beautiful villa and we really enjoyed our stay. The view was absolutely stunning, and it was fun to look up at the stars every night. There were two things which we didn't enjoy; the first was the road up to the villa. Whilst the description told us that it was a rough road, we didn't realise how dangerous it actually was and so hadn't hired the right car to do the journey. It would have been useful for the dangers of the road to have been spelled out fully - for example we couldn't have navigated it when dark. The other factor was the sheer volume of wasps; whilst I know that this can't be helped, we couldn't eat outside as often as we wanted which defeated the purpose of booking the villa."

A very special place. All the little details make the house such a pleasure to be in. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for discovering and creating such a magical place"

This has been the best holiday we’ve had in a very long time. The weather has been glorious, villa has been without fault and a delight to live in – you have both done exceptionally well. We are already planning our return"

We’ve had such an amazing holiday in this beautiful home that Angie and Ben have built. We are definitely not ready to leave and shall certainly be back. It has been absolutely perfect for our 19month old daughter who has loved it here. There is absolutely nothing we could fault, it’s been wonderful"

An exquisitely beautiful setting and a truly outstanding villa with wonderful attention to detail. The large garden is so pretty, and the pool a good size. Numerous areas to sit and all designed to take full advantage of the amazing views. We loved the seclusion but visitors should be aware that the location is quite a drive down a track which may not suit some. Loved it!"

Can hardly believe it’s time to pack up our things and leave already. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home in this magical place. Managed to tear ourselves away to visit the Alhambra but other than that, everything we could possibly need was right here"

After much deliberation, we have unanimously agreed that everything, every detail, has contributed to making this the best holiday ever! Thank you both so much for allowing us into your home… Sad to leave, but happy to have been here!"
