About this property

Casa Cerretillo, "A slice of paradise" Rural White House with Modern Luxuries

Casa Cerretillo is a beautifully maintained, spacious, detached rustic house, with hints of the region’s Moorish past. It is nestled on El Cerretillo with uninterrupted and stunning views of the rolling olive hills, Mount Tinosa and the village of Algarinejo. Being situated along a short track just above the road means this quiet position is easily accessible. Enter from the rear 'car park with a view' into the large sun patio with private 10x5 metre pool and outdoor kitchen area with rustic pizza oven. Enjoy the secluded patio along the front of the house nick named by guests at the 'mama mia' patio. This is also a wonderful place to feel closer to nature whilst still enjoying all the creature comforts. Enjoy the local flora and fauna - walking, cycling, riding, birdwatching (& almond blossom appreciating!). With the historical city of Granada only 1 hour and Iznajar lake and beach 30mins away and many historic villages locally - you get the best of both worlds. This 3 bed house with separate kitchen, dining room and lounge is perfect for a romantic get-away or family holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Ursula

Host profile image
We are Ursula and Mike living in a lovely corner of Essex, England. Between us we have 5 children and 6 grandchildren. We spend as much time in the area as we can in the Algarinejo area because we love the weather and the way of life.

We love to welcome guests - many people have returned to us over many years and it's wonderful that they too have created many memories.

Why they chose this property

The house is actually owned by Ursula's Dad who bought the house after coming to the area and seeing the view from our old ramshackle Cortijo about 10KM away. We refurbished it, built the pool and in 2022 added an outdoor kitchen & dining area with rustic outdoor pizza oven and a large patio with bar area.

It's a peaceful place and at 850m high it feels like you're on top of the world. Great for gaining new perspectives and deep relaxation.
We love this 'slice of paradise' so much that Mike and I (Ursula) got married there in September 2024 surrounded by family and friends and a beautiful sunset.

We fell in love with the area because of the simplicity of life, the countryside is so beautiful with incredible views and is still largely undiscovered by tourists in general.

What makes this property unique

Our guests tell us that its an instantly relaxing place and that it feels very homely - helping you to feel like you instantly belong there! You can enjoy the lovely patios and private swimming pool in the hotter months.

The house is cosy in the winter and the cooler months - with a heating system (something that most houses don't have in southern Spain) as well as a wood burning stove where you can cosy up with a good book or watch Netflix or Prime on TV. Its also a great base for walking - just head straight out from the house and walk up to the top of Cerretillo (and get a glimpse of the Sierra Nevada which usually has snow December - May) take a short trip into the village for some delicious food, head to historical Priego de Cordoba or or to the Sierra Subbetica we've seen some fantastic wildlife and birds of prey there.

We're proud of our eco credentials - we were the first house in the area to get solar panels and all the hot water is providing from the panels on the roof of the house.

We love to pick the almonds, figs, grapes and olives if we're there and enjoy the almond blossom in February/March. Please feel free to pick the fruit and nuts if you're there during late summer/early autumn.
