Typical Andalucian villagehouse with patio,rooftopterrace and cavejacuzzi,in quiet situation.
Experience the authentic Andalucia!

Detailed description:

La Cueva came into existence by joining a ruined house,a very neglected chickenpen and a total ruin.We renovated everything with lots of dedication and love to the detail,trying to incorporate local materials like wood,stone,reeds from the river,esparto(local woven grass) and terracotta.The result are 2 holidayhomes,both very rustic,with lots of Moorish charme,but at the same time extremely comfortable with all the amenities.La Cueva is situated in the biggest of the 3 Guajar villages,20 mins from the coast and 1 hr from Granada.This is still a living white Andalusian village of mainly small farmers.Cool off in the Jacuzzi set into a cave with a waterfall,read a book in the pleasant patio or enjoy the magnificent views from the roof top terrace,where you have a choice of 2 shady pergolas.Or rock in one of the hammocks and let life go past.This place is as idyllic as it sounds,just lean back, relax and enjoy!


Approaching La Cueva you already feel the special flair of the place!The whole property has a certain flow,a matching colourcombination,reoccurring decorations,cozy corners and lots of light.Entering from the alleyway you come into a cool and cozy patio with 2 Moorish sittingcorners and lovely well scented plants,all kept in a pleasant tone of terracotta.The house consists of La Estrella and El Sol,both share the patio with its Moorish sittingcorners,from here some steps lead up to the cave into which we set a refreshing Jacuzzi with its waterfall.Next to it we converted an old stable into another showerroom with toilet,sink and washingmachine.A spiral staircase leads up to the roof top terrace(100m2) with amazing views over the whole village that´s surrounded by the Guajar mountains.Here you find 2 shady pergolas with more Moorish sittingcorners,deckchairs,sunumbrellas,hammocks and a BBQ.
From the road you come into a patio, from where you enter La Estrella.The whole lower floor is open plan. First you come into the fully equipped kitchen part which is kept in a very pleasant green.It goes over into a cozy and comfortable eating and livingarea with a wooden beamed ceiling with reeds.Everything here,as well as in the entire house throughout is very comfortably furnished,with made-to-meassure furniture from the carpenter and with lighting that enhances the rustic and cozy feel of the place.In the cooler month you might want to cuddle up in front of the glasswindowed woodburner. We also offer SAT TV and a CD player/radio.The floors are of local terracotta.Upstairs are the 2 bedrooms.Thanks to a watersoftener the water is nice and soft.
This somehow overlooked little jewel offers something for everybody.Away from the tourist hussle-buzzle on the coast, you take a dip into rural Andalucia,here you will experience how time seems to have stood still.Swing in the hammock and soak up the village noises,the mules that go past a few times daily or Jacinto the local fishmonger as he shouts “VAAMOOOS PECAAOOOO”(come and buy fish) or the veggieseller “ NIÑA PAPAS..”.Or take a refreshing dip in the cave Jacuzzi a very original place to while a day away.In the evening take your favorite drink,sit up on the terrace and watch the moon rise or set or on moonless nights explore the milkyway or count the shooting stars, always with a secret wish.Or visit us over here at La Rueda for a chat and some coffee and cake.This place is a idyllic as it sounds.

Description of the area:

The 3 Guajar-villages, of which Faragüit is the biggest, are nestled in a very fertile and green valley,surrounded by mountains.Sometimes the Olive-Orange-Avocado and Chirimoyaplantations reach up to the top of these mountains.The Moors left behind the acequias(wateringchannels) that criss cross the valley and thanks to which it is so wonderfully fertile.These white Andalucian villages have actually been overlooked by tourism despite their proximity to the sea.Down to the coast,the beach and the next golfcourse it is 20mins,to Granada 1hr.,to the skislopes 11/2 hrs. and to the Alpujarras 45mins.Faragüit offers everything you might need,a colourful weekly market on Saturdays,a bar/restaurant with good homecooking from the area,a bank/ATM,a few bakeries,supermarket,doctor,faramcy , besides traders that offer veggies, fruit and fresh fish from their cars.La Cueva is situated in a carfree alleyway and therefore very quiet.You can park as near as 200m away.

Remarks:

The cozy and original villages of the Alpujarra with its cristalclear streams,refreshing riverpools and the snowcovered 3000m mountains always invite you to hike and explore and are only 45 mins away.

Leisure activities:

The nearest beach is 20 mins away and a little bit further you will find still rather untouched and romantic coves.Granada with its famous Alhambra,its charming,Moorish Albayzin and its quaint old town is only 1 hr away.
Only 20 mins from us, down on the coast, we have a great golfcourse with a magnificent setting,between Motril and Salobreña. Golf with the sea in your back and the snowcovered 3000m mountains of the Sierra Nevada in front of you.
In the wintermonth you really are lost for choice.Or you go down to the empty beaches and stroll along the sea or you go to Granada to soak up some culture and do some shopping or you go up to the Sierra Nevada to go skiing. Actually you might do the lot in one single day!!!
