Sustainable Comfort Studio Apartment in Nature Calm Views huge Garden Salt Pool

Tropical Studio is a very cosy, comfortable and well-equipped studio on the ground floor of a large Andalusian country house. Outside there are two terraces, a wide garden with lush green lawns and a large child-safe organic pool with wide green sunbathing areas. All of this is surrounded by 3,000m² of organically certified land with oranges, avocados, century-old olives and other southern fruit trees. The property is completely climate-neutral and located just above the market village of Órgiva, in a very quiet spot, surrounded by relaxing and refreshing nature in the evergreen "Las Alpujarras", the fertile southern slopes between the Sierra Nevada and the coast.
This unique mixture of Moorish terraced cultural landscape and unspoilt mountain landscape is blessed with omnipresent sparkling water in springs, mountain lakes, wild streams, rivers and medieval Moorish irrigation canals.

Wild nature, pine forests and gorges begin right behind the property. From the house you have unobstructed views over the mountains, the valley and the village and it offers the perfect opportunity to experience and enjoy authentic and genuine Andalusia.

Órgiva is just 1km away and can be easily reached in a few minutes by car and just 10 minutes on foot. It's a 25-minute drive to the coast, 40 minutes to Granada and just over an hour to the ski resorts of the Sierra Nevada.

FURNISHING
The studio is characterized by its bright interior, its generous window areas, its architecture that flows into the garden, its good and high-quality equipment as well as an exceptionally good building fabric and thermic insulation. This guarantees a pleasant room temperature in winter and on hot summer days.

All is of good quality and carefully selected and it offers everything you need for a comfortable stay and a relaxing holiday. (electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), high efficient aerothermal heating and air conditioning , free 500 Mbps WiFi, 43 Smart TV, well-equipped kitchen with modern and large refrigerator, various coffee machines, sharp kitchen knives, large delicate Bordeaux red wine glasses, wooden garden furniture, Lafuma relaxation loungers).

We attach great importance to the cleaning and disinfection of our holiday accommodations.

The large organic community pool is 9x4m, has shallow steps across the entire width of the pool that can also be used as a bench and a 4x2m paddling pool. It is only used by the guests of our three holiday homes and is naturally chlorinated with salt without chemicals.

The lawns around the pool are so extensive that each accommodation has its own area, its own large parasol and each guest has their own Lafuma relax sun lounger for exclusive use.

The entire pool area and sunbathing areas are protected so that small children cannot go into the water unsupervised. In the extensive gardens there is also a tower slide, a giant tire swing and a playground with a badminton net.

During the winter we are happy to heat up our Finnish sauna for our guests and we also operate the pool all year round.

Maria and I live on the other side of this large country house which has another penthouse holiday rental on the top floor.

THE ENVIRONMENT
The holiday home is settled into the real heart of the Alpujarra, in the middle of the fertile southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and its impressive flora and fauna. This green Garden of Eden stands out above all for its strong contrasts between Arabic, terraced and irrigated cultural landscapes and its wild alpine landscapes as well as for its year-round mild and sunny microclimate.

You can go on hikes through the valley or to the surrounding hills and mountains directly from the holiday home. Excursions to the picturesque mountain villages or to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada can be made by car. The spectacular mountain range reaches a height of 3,484 m and is home to the most diverse flora in its five climatic zones between the subtropical coastal region and its glacier as of the clearest starry sky in Europe .

Órgiva offers numerous street cafes and restaurants, small shops, a colorful weekly market and a market hall which offers al kind of fresh groceries on fish, meat, vegetable and herb stalls, as well as a sound infrastructure of small grocery stores, organic shops, ATMs, a post office and a small emergency hospital. We like to describe Orgiva as a "normal", i.e. naturally grown village with a touch of New Age, but not as touristy.

ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN THE AREA
Blessed with plenty of sun and mild weather all year round, this region offers an endless variety of possibilities, activities and holiday arrangements. The Mediterranean environment - part fertile cultural landscape, part wild nature - between the sunny coast and high mountains has its own character and culture. It is consistently green in winter and also in midsummer and an ideal spot to explore the real Andalusia, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

There are inexhaustible possibilities for the nature lover. Countless hiking routes lead through olive and orange groves, past picturesque mountain villages, vineyards and wineries, through forests, wide valleys and narrow gorges, to crystal-clear mountain streams, spring lagoons and snow-capped peaks.

The nearby coast offers in addition to lively coastal towns many small and hidden bays. Some have only a small fish restaurant and others have only sand or rocks. Some can only be reached on foot.

This region offers all year round - even in the winter season - the possibility of relaxation and all kind of different activities as well as its varied gastronomic offer. Because in every season the region lives to the fullest and sights, cafes, restaurants and fish restaurants on the beaches are open all year round.

The picturesque student city of Granada is only 50km away and is an inexhaustible source of beauty and culture. In addition to the countless sights of its Moorish history and its UNESCO World Cultural Heritages, it has everything that a vital historical metropolis can offer.

The Alhambra is the largest and best preserved Moorish palace and fortress in Europe.
