The house is spacious inside and has ample outside space.   It has 2 double and 1 twin bedded rooms, two bathrooms, the en suite has an Arab style bath as well as a separate shower, open living areas and with outside patio areas and a sun terrace.The house has been restored in-keeping with it's rural surroundings and the Moorish heritage of it's locality. The locally sourced furnishings, including antiques, enhance the authenticity of this centuries old, and according to legend, Moorish merchant's house in one of the most beautiful parts of Andalucia, the Lecrin Valley. Complemented by modern comforts, the house provides an ideal base for exploring the treasures of Andalucia, including the Alhambra and the Albayzin in Granada. Whether walking through orange and olive groves a stone's throw from the house, horse riding in the Lecrin Valley, swimming at the beaches of the CostaTropical or just sunbathing by the pool, the house provides an ideal base for a relaxing family holiday.

Granada city, good shopping and dining, is about 30 minutes drive from the house.The magnificent Alhambra is a must-see and the Albayzin, a warren of passages and alleys full of stalls, tetarias, bars and restaurants are waiting to be explored. After a drink and tapas in the Albayzin, La Chumbera in Sacromonte offers flamenco, with a floodlit Alhambra as a backdrop to the stage. Parque de las Ciencias is a well equipped science museum which houses a mammoth tooth found in the Padul Basin, a wetland area good for watching birds. There is good walking within the Valley, from strolls through orange and almond groves to hiking the GR7, a long distance path which traverses the valley. Lanjaron and the Alpujarras are appr. 30 minutes away. In Lecrin, it is possible to go birding or fishing at the nearby Beznar Lake, or horse riding can be arranged. The relatively quiet beaches of the Costa Tropical are 40 minutes drive. Locally there are restaurants, bars and whitewashed villages to explore.
