"Seven glorious too short days have flown by as we have hiked, relaxed, explored and eaten our way through this glorious area. From the mountain to the coast, from Granada to Ferrierola, to the garden, patio and pool, we were in a state of bliss." Read what other guests said about La Mimosa >> |

 Welcome to La Mimosa |

Escape
to a
region rich in Spanish, Andalucian and Moorish traditions.
Rent our villa
situated 1km from the market town of Orgiva in the Lower Alpujarras, an
area of
scattered white Andalucian villages spread over the southern slopes and
valleys of the Sierra Nevada, which are Spain's highest mountains.
Only one hour
south of Granada and two hours east of
Malaga this rural area is vividly described in the best selling book
"Driving Over Lemons" by Chris Stewart. The villa is easily accessible
and offers a rare experience of real Spain, yet is within easy reach of
beaches supermarkets and restaurants.
The
9x4 metre
private pool has pretty underwater lighting and is set in a garden with
fruit trees including mandarin, avocado, grapefruit, fig, lemon,
nispara (loquat), cherimoya (custard apple), banana and a variety of
grapes.
There
are shaded
sitting and dining areas with outdoor furniture, sun loungers and a
barbecue. All bedrooms and the living/dining room have ceiling fans and
insect nets. There is secure car parking and the property is securely
fenced making it safe for young children.
The
house is on
a surfaced track only 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from Orgiva
amidst unmade country lanes and goat tracks established centuries ago.
Whilst sitting on one of the terraces or beside the pool you will
occasionally hear the tinkling of goat bells as shepherds pass by. This
is real unhurried Spain as it was before the days of mass tourism.

It is a ten minute walk to the Rio Guadalfeo (River Guadalfeo). The immediate area is one of orange, lemon and olive groves with stunning views from the garden and house south to the Lujar mountains and north to the snow capped Sierra Nevada.
