Charming, great location, fabulous hosts
We had a lovely time in Bubion - Janny was very welcoming and very helpful when we lost our camera an hour's drive away! Janny met us on the first day to settle us in, and was also kind enough to let us use the pool she shares with her neighbours (just a short walk up the road) to allow the children to cool down during the hot days. The view from the property is stunning, and it was lovely to eat out on the terrace. We had some great days out with the kids - at the waterfall above Capileira, the magnificent public swimming pool in Mecina Bombaron (an hour away) with views back over the village, beautiful swimming at the hotel pool in Mecina Fondales (15 mins drive), river swimming with the local children at Trevelez just under the bridge going out of town (freezing but so clean!), pootling round the lovely villages of Bubion, Capileira (fabulous grassy garden for a quiet drink or a reasonable meal at Paco Lopez), Pitres (great village square, and walkable down to Mecina Fondales). Try the great pizza for lunch at the pizza restaurant on the "main" road in Mecina Fondales. Also enjoyed a day out in Granada, only an hour away. We had a brilliant stay and would definitely recommend the area.
