About this property

Alpujarras. 500 Year Old Stone House In Whitewashed Hamlet. A Walkers’ Heaven!


An authentic 500 year old stone and beamed house situated in Ferreirola , La Taha in the High Alpujarra Mountains; with roof terrace and balcony providing spectacular views all around. Comfortable and always spotlessly clean, the house is a real home with a newly reformed kitchen ( photo coming soon)!wood stove, books and board games and even TV and dvd but we guarantee you will spend your time on the large balcony or roof terrace watching the light change on the mountains and the birds flying past.

This whitewashed hamlet is tucked away from the world, near Pitres in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park and ideal for walkers and those looking for a peaceful and beautiful environment. There are bars and restaurants within walking distance and a larger village (Pitres, bank, market etc))4km away. It is about 2.5 hours from Malaga airport and around 1. 25 hour to Granada.

Perfect place for relaxing and walking
Ferreirola is a small village surrounded by mountains - the village is very quiet and the only thing we heard were the cats and bells from the sheeps. The apartment is good - the kitchen contains everything needed - there is a lot of inspirations for walking tours which can start in Ferreirola. We can recommend this place if you are searching for relaxing and walking/trekking - most of the walking tours have a height difference of 200 to 450 meters

Barbara is fantastic. She has a lovely old moors house in a fantastic part of the world. If you are after peace and quiet this is the place. If you enjoy bush walks then there are plenty in the area. The views are fabulous from the roof top terrace. I would highly recommend a stay here. Thanks Barbara.

About the host

Hi
Most people ask how long I have been here. The answer is 21 years - and I only came here for a month originally, so beware this place is addictive; I have clients who have just made their 19th visit.
Ferreirola is a tiny village in the mountains about an hour 15 minutes from Granada but actually a world away.Visitors have compared the area to Nepal or the Atlas mountains but, to me, it is an unique haven from the world, - beautiful, safe, with clear air and light and populated by real people.
Come here if you love walking, mountains, or just lazing in the sun and reading. We have a great collection of books.
Mostly you will find that you just sit and stare at the scenery in amazement and listen to the silence - possible from the terrace of one of the bars in the nearby villages!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the place. It is remote but you can even get here by bus from Granada if you are patient.

What makes this property unique

Peace, stunning views, great walking. A feeling of having stepped off the busy world.
