Renovated village terraced house with private pool and valley views!

The house and Albuñuelas were exactly what we hoped for when we as 3 adults and two children booked this holiday. A real Spanish retreat, the house is great, full of character and with ample indoor and outdoor space to relax away a few hours. It is well equipped with plenty of towels, bedding etc. Although I have to admit my partner and I slept on the roof terrace watching the shooting stars and listening to the silence.

The village is a beautiful place, the locals friendly and accepting of our different levels of Spanish which as a group range from fluent to basic.

Iain the caretaker was pleasant and welcoming, fulfilling his role well.

The whole holiday was a a lovely experience. Thankyou Albuñuelas and Puerto Azul. Nick, Beth et al

While not for someone reluctant or unable to go up and down steep alleys and ladders, I recommend this home to anyone else! Lovely renovated/ decorated, comfy beds, 4 lovely places to have an in home meal, modern bathrooms and kitchen... Even of we caught quite hot weather, the stone walls store and keep the night cool, if one leaves the shutters clsed. We had a great family time there, including our teenage boy, who was motivated by the cuteness of his little room to keep it tidier than his own, at home. Iain gracefully waited for, met, greeted, helped us with the luggage down and back up tothe car, gave us good shopping and restaurant tips. Our teen is dreaming of going back there with friends, for the fabled "ski in the morning, beach in the afternoon".

This is the house of your dreams if you like spanish village life, tranquility and slow pace. Puerta azul is a pleasure to be in and around. It's such a joy to be in an environment where everything is beautiful. The house is beautifully decorated and works absolutely perfectly. We have rented it several times during different seasons. It is cool in the summer and has a lovely patio with a nice little pool. A fireplace and good heating during wintertime. We have had lots of wonderful meals on the roof terrace looking out over the beautyful Lecrin valley.

We always felt very welcome and everyone is always very friendly and helpful in the village.

Sue and Michael, you really created something wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us. We hope to be back soon again

Absolutely gorgeous place- felt so relaxing.

The house is beautifully furnished and the bedroom we stayed in felt so luxurious in an authentic Spanish cosy way.

The kitchen was well equipped and even had an orange juicer which was amazing as the villa is surrounded by very fruitful orange trees in the village.

We had many nights in with the wood burning fire warming the lounge, trips to Granada and surrounding villages with the most beautiful views.

Amazing retreat that gets you away from everything - into a beautiful real Spanish setting in a beautiful home.

Amazing- will definitely be going back!

We couldn't say a bad word about our holiday and the house and location are probably the reasons why. The village, offering a very rustic and traditional setting, sits in the Lecrin Valley which offers wonderful views and a very hot climate. The bars in the village offer nice cold beer and local wines with authentic spanish tapas. Granada is a short drive away so a visit to the Alhambra Palace (a UNESCO world heritage site) is a must, the palace, gardens and views across Granada are breathtaking. We visited the coastal resort of Salobrena a couple of times which is a clean and family orientated beach, with various restaurants on the front. We also sampled the Santa Clara Golf Club, with a very modern and stylish clubhouse and a scenic but challenging course. Views down into the lake from the valley and the wide array of wildlife and orange, lemon and olive groves only add to the area surrounding Albunuelas. And as for the house itself, the sun terrace is a lovely place for a bbq on a summers evening with a jug of sangria, or a spot of sun bathing, the pool is ample size for a cooling dip with space around the pool for sitting in the sun and having some tapas of your own. The house inside is spacious with good kitchen facilities and a very large master bedroom. Its a real Spanish house with an authentic feel to it and that coupled with the location gave us a real desire to get to grips with the spanish culture and lifestyle. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday that we would jump at to go back to.
