About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Country House on Edge of Picturesque Village

Ideally located between two of the most known villages in the Aljujarras with a private drive leading directly to the house, benefitting from easy walking access to the shops, bars and restaurants of either village and numerous walks in every direction. The house was built in the traditional way with stone and chestnut beams and is double-glazed throughout. At certain times of the year the shepherd brings his sheep to the meadow next door and you can enjoy the music of more than a hundred bells as they happily graze the varied grasses and flowers.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

There aren't enough words to say how wonderful our few days here were. The garden is stunning, a haven for insects, the cortijo so comfortable and brilliantly equipped and the views... Well! Plus flocks of bee eaters and a family of booted eagles overhead.Perfectly situated between Bubion and Capileira, this is the perfect retreat. Thank you

Breathtaking.

We wanted to experience the Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarra in winter. We chose Cortijo Alguaztar because it looked amazing and its location promised mountains, it more than delivered on both.The cortijo is beautiful both inside and out, and has everything one could possibly need, with well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and comfortable beds. Our host, Nadia, was incredibly helpful and kind.And then there are the views: snow covered high peaks to the right, the Mediterranean to the left (one can see the lights of Africa at night) and breathtaking vistas in between.We had a fabulous week and would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. Thank you Nadia!

The guesthouse was fantastic - cozy, inviting, and very easy to stay in. We really enjoyed the wood stove on a couple of cool evenings in May. The mountain scenery visible from the house is spectacular. Nadia is an excellent host - attentive, helpful, and goes out of her way to provide information and insights into the local culture. We can't say enough good things about our experience in Bubion and our host. Highly recommend you visit. 10/10 rating!!

From the moment we saw photos and read about this delightful “Eden”, we knew we wanted to experience it’s delights. Each day brought a new experience, from hiking one of the recommended trails, walking into one of the villages for a cool drink, sampling the many varied local menus, to just relaxing in Nadia’s gorgeous property, spending time here renewed our winter weary souls. Thank you Nadia! You went above and beyond.

Beautiful cottage in lovely location.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Inside is beautifully decorated and we found the kitchen had everything we needed. Outside is a secluded garden full of flowers with a few different places to sit - so you can be comfortable whether you want sun or shade. Nadia was a very welcoming host happy to share information about places to go and the local way of life.

Lovely home and garden.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home. There were so many interesting items to look at. The garden is beautiful and the house is very close to Bubion. Between the three villages there are plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops to choose from. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed several evenings just sitting in the garden, enjoying a tinto verano. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Fantastico!

Nadia is the loveliest owner! So helpful & friendly. The house and garden are beautiful, we felt at home as soon as we arrived. An added bonus was her 2 gorgeous cats, we were missing ours! The house itself is beautifully decorated, (you feel like you’re in Morocco!), the gardens made us reluctant to go out exploring, it’s like staying in a botanical garden. The villages, Bubion and Capilliera are both walking distance, with lovely places to eat. I would give this lovely place more then 5 stars, if I could. Thank you so much!

Great house in a great location

This house is a wonderful place to stay. The valley is a fantastic area for walking, wildlife, flowers and culture - right on the doorstep. The house itself is very well equipped - especially the kitchen. We made good use of the local information, board games and the bird guide. We spent a lot of time in the garden, which is full of flowers and butterflies. It was a pleasure to meet our hosts, and we highly recommend this property.

Charming Property

Location of property was perfect for our itinerary (mountain biking and walking). Nadia and Marco were ideal hosts; there when you needed them. The house is equipped with everything you need and the shower is fantastic. The garden is beautiful - many say the best garden for miles around - you cannot help but relax in it, be that in the shady hammocks under the willow trees or in one of three outdoor seating areas. Overall, this is the best property we have stayed in over the six years we have been going to this area and, without doubt, Nadia and Marco were the most welcoming hosts.

A hilltop paradise

We had a fabulous 11 nights at Nadia and Marco’s cortijo in Bubión. We loved the location which was halfway between the Alpujarra villages of Capileira and Bubión with a good sendera (footpath) in between. We did some nice long walks on the GR7 either from the cottage or by catching the bus in one of the villages, including the ancient mule paths near Busquístar/Pitres and the abandoned village of Cebadilla. We caught the early morning bus for a two-day stay in Granada which was very convenient. We also got the national park bus from Capileira to the base of Mulhacen (mainland Spain’s highest point) - it’s five hours up and down and you need warm clothing at the top. Nadia was on hand to provide lots of useful information and we liked eating our meals in the beautiful garden, listening to the sheep bells with her friendly cats for company. The house was well equipped and having a washing machine was very useful after such long walks. Nearby places include Órgiva and Pampaneira which had lots of places to eat although Capileira was our favourite village as it was less tourist driven. Would recommend a stay here to couples or families and a car is essential to get from Malaga airport. Thank you Nadia and Marco!

Idyllic country house

We have just returned from 2 weeks in this lovely country home. We had a wonderful time. The area is peaceful and the house is set in beautiful gardens with fantastic mountain views. We went on lovely mountain walks. There are not too many restaurants but enough to choose from. We had some amazing meals, always with excellent service. The house itself is a little gem. We would definitely visit again but perhaps in September when it is a little cooler. Fabulous place.

This place is cut from paradise, we know for sure.

This place makes a special holiday experience, however the cherry on the top is the lovely hosts, Nadia and Marco, who we felt we've known for a lifetime. They are wonderful hosts, with endless suggestions for places and activities in the area, just needed to make time for all. Thank you both for a wonderful holiday we'll never forget.

Superb cortijo, amazing location, wonderful hosts. The perfect place to enjoy the Alpujarras

We had a fantastic stay at Nadias cortijo. The house itself is beautifully decorated inside, full of interesting objects and all the things you need. The garden is a real pleasure with a wealth of flowers and wildlife, and so many places to sit and drink coffee/wine/eat and enjoy the quiet stunning mountain location. Both Nadia and Marco were great hosts: helpful and friendly when we needed but leaving us plenty of space and privacy. For anyone wanting to experience the Alpujarras this is the ideal place to stay. You are just 15 minutes easy walk between two typical villages with great shops, places to eat and plenty of character. However the house itself is in a rural quiet location with unspoilt views of the mountains and Poquiera valley. There are opportunities for amazing walks and drives throughout. We had a perfect time and would recommend to all.

Fantastic Getaway nestled between two sleepy towns

Nadia and Marco were great hosts! They were so kind and generous and very informative, which made our stay most enjoyable. Their lovely home is within walking distance to two villages in the mountains, Bubion and Capileira. Both towns offer scenic views, historical/cultural sites, a little shopping and a number of restaurants to choose from - our favourite was La Tapas in Capileira. If you are looking for lots of action, things to do, and a vigorous nightlife, this wouldn't be the place to come. If you are looking for a place to soak in the beauty of God's creation and to relax and unwind than I highly recommend. Nadia has a fantastic green thumb and the gardens around her home are just gorgeous. If you ride horses and are very experienced, and want a high adventure, extreme trek through the mountains, ask Nadia about that...warning, not for the faint of heart, out of shape, or people afraid of heights!
