Living a dream
It was a wonderful vacation. Amazing 2 weeks in an amazing house. Even if I would search for a mistake I would not be able to find one. You have everything you need inside and outside the house. Lovely owners! Thank you!

Ideal for a couples retreat.
The villa is situated in a quiet rural location,well appointed and tidy grounds,Antonio made the checkin simple and efficient with excellent communication, we had a small problem with the pool which was dealt with immediately by the owner Carlos.
A very pleasant stay.

Fabulous cottage in unique setting
The house is in really good condition and it was spotless clean on our arrival. The garden is gorgeous and the kitchen is really well equipped. We also very much appreciated the flexibility of check-in and check out times. We would definitely come back if we were in the area again!!! We had great time and a lot of it is thanks to this wonderful property!
About the cottage itself. It is situated:
- to the south-west - possible to enjoy lovely sunsets with a great view
- close to the town and a supermarket, its possible to walk to have a dinner in Durcal centre
- among olive orchard - gives feeling of seclusion and privacy
- In Lecrin valley - convenient place to drive to either North or South parts of Sierra Nevada, easy access to Granada and also the coast
Finally one more thing - as someone already has mentioned in the comments, the house does not have a central heating. It is equipped with a chimney, one electric radiator, air conditioning/heater and a small electric heater. Nevertheless, from our view this was not a problem.
We were unfortunately unlucky with the weather for several days during our stay. The temperatures were in the lower teens and it was raining for multiple days in a row - very humid. Also when we arrived, the house hasn't been used for a while so it was pretty cold. To be honest, I was a bit anxious whether we will feel comfortable.
However, it took us only several hours to warm the house up. We initially got a bit of smoky smell inside the house - but this has disappeared as soon as the chimney has been heated up for several hours. Once the fire gets rid of the humidity inside the chimney, the ventilation is excellent and for the rest of our stay we had absolutely no issues and we were warm and cosy :) - so as said, from our point of view this was really not a problem :)

Lovely!
The property is in a nice situation with mountain views. All fixtures and fittings are high quality. Everything is spotlessly clean, it is one of the only times that we have been to a property and felt comfortable about using the cooking utensils! All were immaculately clean.

Lovely place, just as described and in a great location
Very private without being miles from anywhere. Great pool, gardens and house. Very helpful hosts. 5 minutes from a big supermarket for convenience. 25 minutes from Grenada and some wonderful drives up into the Sierra Nevada easily at hand.

Reality beats the photos
The negative: we can't rent it 12 months a year (my fault, not owner's:) ).
The positive: everything else.
A perfect place for a couple's retreat.

Small house, good outdoor facilities, good views
The property was much as we expected - small but well enough equipped. We visited in February and the house was very cold despite temperatures outside in the upper teens. There is no heating in this house except an open log fire and a small electric heater so it was very difficult to stay warm. The log fire is unusable as it creates huge amounts of smoke in the room despite the owners advice to keep a window open (defeats the purpose of the fire!). The outside area is very good and well equipped with great views to the surrounding Sierra Nevada. The local town was disappointing and not a tourist attraction. There is a good supermarket close by and smaller shops in the town. The owners were welcoming and helpful.

This was a fabulous experience from the moment we arrived until leaving . The place looked idyllic on the website and lived up to everything . The outside space was private while having tremendous views across the area. Whether it was morning ,afternoon or evening , the setting was perfect . The property was very clean and had everything required .It was around 15 minutes walk into the plaza in the center of the town which was very pleasant .We were initially met by Antonio who looked after the property and he was extremely helpful all through the week with anything we were looking to do. The owner Celi was also very helpful and conscious of ensuring our stay was good . The place was also very handy for Granada which was about 20 mins drive away . .Not only would I recommend it to others but hope to go back for another perfect holiday !

Una estancia maravillosa
Es el sitio perfecto para una escapada tranquila. La casa tiene todo lo que necesitas y el exterior es, simplemente maravilloso. La piscina cumple las expectativas de quien le guste nadar ya que es lo suficientemente grande. El porche es muy fresco y se está estupendamente a la sombra a cualquier hora del día. La situación de la casa es perfecta, ya que está cerca del pueblo para hacer cualquier compra y a su vez un poco alejada para mayor tranquilidad. Sin duda la recomendamos y volveremos a visitarla seguro.

Heel mooi en sfeervol huis
Heel mooi huis met alles wat je maar nodig zou kunnen hebben. Overal is aan gedacht. Genoeg handdoeken en voorraden. De eigenaar had onlangs een nieuwe opblaasbare jacuzzi geplaatst waar we 's avond heerlijk gebruik van hebben gemaakt. Het enige nadeel vonden wij dat het niet dichtbij een gezellige dorpskern zit. Met de auto heeft de omgeving wel leuke uitstapmogelijkheden zoals Granada en de kustplaatsen, alles binnen een uurtje rijden.

Paradies im Olivenhain
Es war eine traumhaft schöne Woche. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen und sehr gepflegt. Von der Veranda aus kann man wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge beobachten, der Pool ist sehr Wahnsinn und in der Anzeige wurde der Whirlpool vergessen.
Wenn man mit einem Kleinkind unterwegs ist muss man beachten, dass das Haus kein separates Schlafzimmer hat, sondern das man auf einer Galerie schläft... Uns wurde netterweise vom Vermieter ein Babybett zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr angenehm.
Nicht gut war das sehr schwache warme Wasser unter der Dusche, aber der Rest des Hauses lässt einen diesen Punkt vergessen. :-)

Wunderschöne und ruhige Lage
Wir waren sehr glücklich mit dem Haus, allerdings muss man den Außen und Innenbereich getrennt bewerten.
Außen: alles perfekt, super schöne Aussicht, riesiger und sauberer Pool, viele schöne Sitzmöglichkeiten.
Innen: sauber, jedoch max für 4 Leute. Die Dusche hat uns nicht gefallen da jedes mal nach dem Duschen und unschöner Geruch aus dem Abfluss kam. Außerdem hatten wir abends sehr schnell kein warmes Wasser mehr. Sonst alles gemütlich mit viel Zubehör :)

Descanso idílico
Los exteriores de la casa corresponden perfectamente con las fotografías. Tranquilidad, sol y descanso. El centro del pueblo está cerca y se puede cenar y tapear muy rico. Fuimos con perro y total tranquilidad porque está todo vallado.
Muy recomendable.
Dispone de un jacuzzi en el jardín y cortina de ducha (que no se veían en las fotos).
Gracias a Celi por los detalles de bienvenida.

Tolles Haus, perfekter Urlaub...Erholung mit allen Sinnen
Das Haus, der Garten und die Lage sind traumhaft, die Bilder in der Internetbeschreibung entsprechen der Wahrheit. Auch die Nähe zu den Geschäften in Durcal macht es so angenehm.
Wir haben uns mit dem Verwalter Antonio in der Nähe getroffen, er ist sehr verlässlich und hilfsbereit...professionell halt.
Der Innenbereich ist mit allen notwendigen Dingen ausgestattet, die man für einen längeren Aufenthalt benötigt. Für 6 Personen mag das Haus und die Schlafmöglichkeiten etwas klein sein (dies ist rein unsere subjektibve Einschätzung), da es dann schon arg eng wird...ist aber kein Negativpunkt, nur eine Anmerkung.
Der Garten und die vielen "Chill-Out-Areas" sind perfekt, geradezu traumhaft, um auch mal einen Tag "daheim" zu verbringen, aber natürlich nutzen wir Durcal für mehr, darunter:
- Besuch von Granada und der Alhambra
- Diverse Rennradtouren in der Sierra Nevada, man muß jedoch Berge lieben...dann ist auch der Pico del Veleta möglich!
Es war eine sehr, sehr schöne Zeit und können diese Haus absolut empfehlen.
