Description
Fabulous views
and many thoughtful details - traditional beamed ceilings,
interesting alcoves and a stunning Moorish bathroom are
there to be enjoyed, as well as the invisible comforts such
as underfloor heating in winter and good showers with
plentiful hot water. Casa Idrisi is named after Europe's
first mapmaker the Moor Al Idrisi - whose route took him
through Albuñuelas and along much of what is now the great
GR7 walking route from Algeciras to Istabunal. One of the
distinctive GR7 red and white markers is on the wall of the
house.
Idrisi has a
large 360° roof terrace and boasts unparalleled views - not
only down the valley to the Alpujarras, but also across the
valley to the Rio Santo gorge and up the valley to the
Sierra de Albuñuelas. The living room and master bedroom
also enjoy stunning views. Idrisi also shares a garden amid
the orange orchards - which can be used by tenants for
picnics, BBQs, or splashing about in the paddling pool. It
is situated close to La Joya, Casa de la Lagartija, Casa de
la Puerta Grande & any of these properties can be rented out
together to larger parties if desired. Car access is not
possible to the house, but it is possible to park in the
square nearby. |

Notes
Albuñuelas was
on the route of the first Arab traders, and the epic GR7
walk from Gibraltar to Istanbul passes through (one of the
GR7 markers can be seen on the wall). The name Albuñuelas
means 'abundance' and you can certainly see that from the
variety of produce- olives, oranges, grapes, lemons,
avocados to name just a few. You certainly get a chance to
try out your Spanish language skills as many of the locals
do not speak any English, and don't be surprised to see a
donkey or mule going past your door as it is still a major
means of transport here.
Albuñuelas is ideally located between Granada, with its
Alhambra and Moroccan quarter, and the Costa Tropical
(approx 30 mins drive). The ski resort of Sol Y Nieve in the
Sierra Nevada is within driving distance (45 mins) and the
Alpujarras (remember Driving Over Lemons??!!) is around 30
mins drive too. The area is well served by Malaga airport
(90 mins) and now the airport at Granada (35 mins) has
incoming Ryanair flights from Liverpool and Stansted and
Monarch flights from Gatwick. Please contact
if
you need assistance in finding flights or car hire.
