Enjoy a relaxing, regenerative and sustainable holiday in our holiday villa Caserio el Olivo, a very spacious penthouse holiday apartment that extends over the entire upper floor of a large Andalusian country house. All rooms are on one level and have direct access to the 40sqm sun terrace to the south with fantastic views over the garden, the valley, the mountains and the village.
The ecologically certified and completely climate-neutral property is surrounded by the evergreen mountain landscape of the unique Alpujarra, the fertile southern slopes between the Sierra Nevada and the coast, nestled between fruit, avocado, orange and hundred-year-old olive trees in an evergreen subtropical garden with large lawns, a pool area and parking directly at the house a flat land of 3.300m2. Right next door begins the wild nature, pine forests and gorges. From the house you have an unobstructed view of the mountains, the valley and the village.
It offers the perfect opportunity to experience and enjoy authentic and genuine Andalusia, as well as to become part of the local community and participate in its culture.
Órgiva is only 1km away and can easily be reached by car in a few minutes or on foot in just 10 minutes. It is a 25 minute drive to the coast, 40 minutes to Granada and just over an hour to the Sierra Nevada ski resorts.
THE HOUSE
All rooms are on one level and have direct south access to the 40sqm sun terrace with fantastic views over the garden, the valley, the mountains and the village.
The house is built on the terraced hillside in such a way that the entrance to the property is from the upper garden (parking) on the north side of the house, almost at ground level, but all rooms are faced the terrace to the south. Thus, all rooms and the terraces are as on the first floor facing south and they provide absolute privacy and cannot be seen from the surrounding gardens.
On the ground floor of the house there is a small studio with a kitchen and a private bathroom, which can be rented if there are more than 4 people. Maria and I also live in an apartment on the ground floor and of course take great care of the peace and privacy of our guests. All residential units have a separate entrance on different sides of the house.
FURNISHING
The house is characterized by its spacious interior, its good and high-quality equipment as well as an exceptionally good building structure and thermal insulation. This guarantees a pleasant room temperature on hot summer days.
Everything is of good quality and carefully selected and has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a relaxing holiday. (high efficient aerothermal heating and air conditioning , Free 500 Mbps WiFi, 43 Smart TV, well-equipped kitchen with modern oven, dishwasher and large refrigerator, various coffee machines, sharp kitchen knives, large delicate Bordeaux red wine glasses, wooden garden furniture, Lafuma relaxation loungers).
We attach great importance to the cleaning and disinfection of our holiday accommodations.
The large organic community pool is 9x4m, has shallow steps across the entire width of the pool that can also be used as a bench and a 4x2m paddling pool. It is only used by the guests of our three holiday homes and is naturally chlorinated with salt without chemicals.
The lawns around the pool are so extensive that each accommodation has its own area, its own large parasol and each guest has their own Lafuma relax sun lounger for exclusive use.
The entire pool area and sunbathing areas are protected so that small children cannot go into the water unsupervised. In the extensive gardens there is a tower slide, a giant tire swing and a playground with a badminton net.
THE ENVIRONMENT
The holiday penthouse is settled into the real heart of the Alpujarra, in the middle of the fertile southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and its impressive flora and fauna. This green Garden of Eden stands out above all for its strong contrasts between Arabic, terraced and irrigated cultural landscapes and its wild alpine landscapes as well as for its year-round mild and sunny microclimate.
You can go on hikes through the valley or to the surrounding hills and mountains directly from the holiday home. Excursions to the picturesque mountain villages or to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada can be made by car. The spectacular mountain range reaches a height of 3,484 m and is home to the most diverse flora in its five climatic zones between the subtropical coastal region and its glacier as of the clearest starry sky in Europe .
Órgiva offers numerous street cafes and restaurants, small shops, a colorful weekly market and a market hall which offers al kind of fresh groceries on fish, meat, vegetable and herb stalls, as well as a sound infrastructure of small grocery stores, organic shops, ATMs, a post office and a small emergency hospital. We like to describe Orgiva as a "normal", i.e. naturally grown village with a touch of New Age, but not as touristy.
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN THE AREA
Blessed with plenty of sun and mild weather all year round, this region offers an endless variety of possibilities, activities and holiday arrangements.

It is consistently green in winter and also in midsummer and an ideal spot to explore the real Andalusia, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
There are inexhaustible possibilities for the nature lover. Countless hiking routes lead through olive and orange groves, past picturesque mountain villages, vineyards and wineries, through forests, wide valleys and narrow gorges, to crystal-clear mountain streams, spring lagoons and snow-capped peaks.
The nearby coast offers in addition to lively coastal towns many small and hidden bays. Some have only a small fish restaurant and others have only sand or rocks. Some can only be reached on foot.
This region offers all year round - even in the winter season - the possibility of relaxation and all kind of different activities as well as its varied gastronomic offer. Because in every season the region lives to the fullest and sights, cafes, restaurants and fish restaurants on the beaches are open all year round.
The picturesque student city of Granada is only 50km away and is an inexhaustible source of beauty and culture. In addition to the countless sights of its Moorish history and its UNESCO World Cultural Heritages, it has everything that a vital historical metropolis can offer.
