This beautiful old fruit farm is ideally located on the edge of the village of Churriana de la Vega, just a couple of miles from the bustling centre of Granada. The village offers bars, restaurants and supermarkets on your doorstep, while a 20 minute cycle ride on a well maintained, traffic- free cycle track will take you to all of Granada's top sights. We borrowed the casa's bicycles every morning and cycled in the warm sunshine to the Albaicin, Sacromonte, the Cathedral, Arab baths and much more. The city is very cycle-friendly and we were able to abandon our car for the week, apart from the afternoon we drove to the beautiful village of Montefrio in the Sierra Nevadas. When back in our apartment in the casa, it was easy to forget that we were so close to Granada. The casa is surrounded by fruit and olive trees and Concha, our host provided us with a a basket of fresh fruit on our arrival. This location really is arcadian, a bucolic oasis in an otherwise busy urban area. At the rear of the casa is a large, clean swimming pool with ample sunbeds, parasols, tables and chairs for all of the residents (4 couples at most). We spent most of our afternoons swimming, sunbathing and reading by the pool. Our ground floor apartment was perfect for the two of us, with an open plan living/dining room, an adjacent well-equipped kitchen, a pretty family bathroom with good shower, and two spacious bedrooms with generous storage. The apartment was comfortably and attractively furnished in keeping with this period property which is full of quirks and character. Finally, our thanks to Concha who was a most attentive, helpful and friendly host, yet without being intrusive.
We loved our week in this property and are happy to recommend it unreservedly.
