About this property
Cottage in a small picturesque mountain village in the Alpujarras
The small, ancient village house "Casa Santa Ana" has been carefully and lovingly restored and furnished in the original Alpujarras architectural style.
On the upper floor there is the living room with an integrated kitchen, a sofa bed, wood stove, television, and one
small balcony with a view of the mountains. On the lower floor there is the double bedroom and the bathroom with shower.
You can sleep wonderfully with the window open and enjoy the silence of the night.
Fondales is one of the most beautiful and smallest villages in the Alpujarras, which has kept its authentic character for centuries and still inspires painters, musicians and writers to this day.
The Alpujarras, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, are a fantastic hiking area with very easy to demanding tours.
Even summiteers are not neglected here, because the two mountains Mulhacen and Veleta are the highest mountains of the Iberian Peninsula with almost 3500 meters of altitude and also a fantastic ski area in winter.
If you would like to end your mountain vacation by the sea, look under object number 2405400.
We offer you the option of combining mountains and beach, because Almuñecar on the Costa Tropical is easily accessible from here in an hour.
