The week's holiday at La Mimosa was wonderful. Our only real complaint was that we couldn't stay a fortnight!

The house is so comfortable and a real "home from home". There is everything a family could need including the children's videos and games for the evening. What a lovely touch.

The pool area and terrace are superb. Lots of space for sun loungers and playing children. There is something magical when the underwater lights are on at night.

It was great to have such a large and interesting garden. We enjoyed the fruit trees and the children loved searching out the interesting bug life. It was quite fascinating.

We didn't actually get any further than Orgiva and the surrounding Alpujarran villages which are very pretty. We had a lovely relaxing time. It was lovely just to wander up the lane to the shops then play around the pool.

A super house and a lovely area.

If anything your villa exceeded our expectations.

We had a fabulous relaxing time staying at La Mimosa. The villa is very well equipped and it was hard to drag ourselves away from the pool. We loved Orgiva too, which has lots of character and some good restaurants.

I have stayed in villas in many places throughout Europe and yours compares very favourably. I have already recommended your property to some friends.

Overall, a great holiday.

We have spent a good relaxing fortnight here. We enjoyed all the shady spots around the garden - enough for all of us.

I enjoyed staying at La Mimosa for its homely feel and pool. Although I found myself mostly lazing about the house I also enjoyed my few visits to the beach, the Alhambra and up to the high village of Capiliera. A great holiday in a beautiful home. Thanks very much for letting us share your new home…. Hope you enjoy it over the next couple of years as I have over the last couple of weeks.

All too brief was our first visit to this region of Spain…….. We've had a marvellous time and have had great weather. Mark has enjoyed riding new mountain bike routes and I've enjoyed lazing by the pool while he cycles!

We had lots of lovely barbecues and explored all the surrounding countryside. I didn't want to come home!

We have loved Mimosa, you are very lucky to own a wonderful slice of Andalucia. So off we go to (probably) rainy Scotland and I'm already thinking about our return next year.

Thank you!

We're back in Toronto after the most restful, weight-gaining, reading, relaxing 2 weeks of our lives.

Our second visit to Orgiva was as good as if not better than our first. We didn't stray from the house that often - content to sip mixed drinks and wine and beer.... and look at that massive mountain out back. I'd forgotten how spectacular the scenery is! We enjoyed the pool and making up stories about the ruined buildings atop the facing mountains. Even the sky is remarkable at La Mimosa - spectacular blues at midday and star filled at night - we enjoyed warm evenings on the loungers looking up.

We tried and consumed every soft cheese and pork product available in the Carrefour in Granada, tried, tested and consumed almost all the reds at the supermercado, reread Driving Over Lemons and my son Adrian now swims - a success. My daughter Rowan (2) is now fearless in the water and gave us all heart-attacks when she started to bicycle herself around the pool in just her water-wings.

This visit has been so memorable by many events, happenings and occurrences. The garden is quite, quite beautiful - to future guests do get Antonio (gardener) to give you a tour, he's a lovely man. Not to leave Carlos (caretaker) out - we really appreciated his warm personality and insight into the region.

We'll take wonderful memories back to Toronto - we're planning our return for OrgivaIII and we'll be sure to ring Alan first.

Staying at La Mimosa felt more like home this second time in Orgiva. That said, it made it all the more difficult to leave. Your villa was absolutely perfect for our short stay there and is sorely missed. The facilities were perfect and the pool an absolute delight. Waking up to the view of the mountains will always be forever emblazoned into memory.

I have never felt such a strong desire to remain somewhere in all of my travels.

Thanks so much again for the villa.

As soon as we opened the gates we knew we were going to enjoy our "extremely short" two weeks.

The spectacular view of the mountains as we ate "al fresco" for the whole length of out stay has been wonderful. The children have enjoyed being able to use the pool whenever they wanted to whilst the adults could sit, relax, read or just sunbathe.

Our mornings, after a lazy breakfast, were spent enjoying the beautiful mountainside villages enjoying coffee and Tapas and then relaxing by the pool in the afternoons and then wandering down for a paddle in the Rio Guadalfeo. Bliss!

Thank you very much for letting us share your home,
