Guest comments: Having just returned from Spain I thought I would drop you an email to tell what a fabulous time we had. The apartment was beyond our wildest expectations, and far better than anything we have stayed in previously. The view from the balcony is stunning. We made it up to Sierra Nevada on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day - the children played snowballs on Christmas Eve, then on Christmas morning while the turkey was cooking we went up again so that they could do some tobogganing (fresh snow had fallen overnight), then on Boxing Day we all went up yet again.
I thank you for making this one of our best Christmas', the attention to detail made all the difference.

A lovely location and the owner was so very helpful with information to make our stay wonderful. We did leave early but only because we were worried about getting snowed in as one of our little Yorkshire Terriers became ill and needed veterinary attention. Many thanks to Rosie..,,an absolute gem. Kind regards Gail and Grant Murray

A 5 Star must stay
We really enjoyed Staying at Clare’s place in Güejar Sierra. It was a terrific base for two weeks, we hiked, went to the ski resort to hike and have lunch, visited Alhambra and Granada and had lunch in Pinos Genil. The bus service was terrific and for $1.80E to Granada and $1.50E to Pinos Genil, a bargain as not to drive and put up with traffic and parking. We cooked in a lot for breakfast and dinner, the pots and pans were terrific and made cooking easy. The balcony had great views and we were able to eat our most evenings. We would highly recommend Clare’s apartment, the DVD’s made for fun nights along with making popcorn. Rosie was terrific and was very helpful with information, especially the tips for the market and roads to go hiking. We will be back, thanks Clare.

Stunning Apartment, perfect base in the Sierra Nevada
A stunning apartment, spacious, clean, amazing views, close to all local amenities and the ideal base for those interested in exploring the local area. Great communication with the owner and property manager and clear instructions on how to get there. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. Secure parking in a locked garage. A wide range of local walks and activities are available . Only 30 minutes from Granada airport, plenty of walking available from the doorstep and and those interested in cycling, there is a lung busting climb from the village which is regularly used in the Vuelta up to the ski resort of Pradollana. We would definitely recommend this apartment for your stay

Guejar Sierra
We really enjoyed staying at this property. The small town of Guejar was lovely, a pretty, friendly and unspoilt town that gave a real flavour of Spanish life. We appreciated the views from the terrace across the valley, mountains and down to the lake and loved swimming there! It was fabulous to walk the two or three minutes into town to buy churros for breakfast, to sit in the square with drinks and tapas or wander through the little streets. Clare responded quickly to any query we had before going and was really helpful in providing extra information about the fiesta taking place while we were there. Rosie was absolutely lovely and so helpful! Thank you both of you. The house was clean and comfortable, we appreciated having 2 bathrooms as there were 5 of us staying. Our only (very slight !) concern was that it could have done with a few more utensils in the kitchen - I didn't want to put the dishwasher on for a very small load but there wasn't quite enough in the way of plates/glasses etc ...as I say a very minor concern!

Lovely vacation place in stunning surroundings
Well appointed, comfortable apartment with an amazing view from the terrace. Loved having my morning coffee watching the lake below, and surrounding mountains. Located in beautiful small mountain village with friendly people, great base for day trips up into the Sierra Nevada and Granada. Excellent and timely communication with the owner Clare as well as Rosie for handover of the keys on arrival. Would highly recommend this place, and hope to be back one day.

Fantastic Apartment
We had a great time...fantastic apartment and was particularly impressed with the kitchen which was very well equipped…fantastic views from the balcony. Loved the Spanishness of the village and the welcoming locals...the free tapas with every drink were great. Saw some great celtic musicians jamming on the Sunday in one of the many village bars..a mix of Spaniards, Irish, Scottish, English and Americans up from Granada...a very pleasant surprise! Had a couple of days on the coast with temperatures in the high 20's. Also a couple in Granada....one at Alhambra (fantastic) and one in Granada walking around...again fantastic....Rosie's advice to take the bus was clearly the best option, especially as our rental car was upgraded to a BMW 7 series...2.2metres wide...great on motorways, but far less so in the streets around the village square which we encountered on our arrival! The Sierra Nevada is great walking country...we did a few short ones...love to return and take on the more challenging routes. All in all a fantastic holiday, especially pleasing as it was a family gift to my wife on her 70th birthday. David, Pat, Colin and Chris

Superb modern penthouse, in great location, with fabulous views
My son and myself were met by Rosie, who showed us around and provided us with all of the information that we needed. The penthouse was spacious, very comfortable and was very well equipped. The large balcony / terrace area had unobstructed views of the village, the mountains, valley and reservoir. A lovely place to eat and drink, enjoying the sunshine, after a day's skiing. In late March, we found that the property was so warm that we only needed (the very efficient) heating system on for 10 to 15 min.s, in the morning and the same in the evening. Leaving from the front (higher level), it was a short walk up to the many tapas bars / restaurants. In each, the welcome was very friendly and there was always an element of surprise at what we would receive, with every drink. The village is very attractive, with drinking fountains at various locations. We topped up our 6 ltr. container, with beautiful mountain water; far superior to the supermarket product. Clare and Rosie told us of the short cut to the ski slopes, which we used every day, although on the last day we had to turn back, near the top, as a few cars could get no further because of ice. It's not the place to be in icy conditions but the views, looking down on the village, are superb. Most days, we parked above Pradollano, in the Penones car park but, on the first day the ski pass kiosk was closed, as a result of deep snow, and we had to ski down to the village base, in order to buy our cards. I finally got to see Africa, from 11,000+ ft in the Sierra Nevada. Can't wait to return to Mulhacen. Geoff T.

A beautiful, well presented property with stunning views down the valley and up into the mountains
Guejar Sierra is a lovely little Spanish town and a pretty simple drive up from Malaga. The apartment itself was lovely. There were 6 of us in our party (2 9yr olds) and we never felt like we were on top of each other. 2 good sized bathrooms, which was a real bonus and all the modcons you would need in a holiday let. The bedrooms were comfy and had enough space to not feel like you were crammed in. A nice lounge and dining area that lead out to a great balcony with fantastic views. We were there for the skiing, which myself and my wife were dubious about, being so far south. We couldn't have been proved more wrong! A great amount of snow, awesome weather and a wonderful beginners area at the top of the gondola and some decent runs too. We spent most of our time with the others in our group as it was their first time skiing so didn't get to go all over the mountain as we were teaching them the basics, but what area we did cover we were impressed with. Rosie told of us a short cut that zig zagged up the mountain to the main road which made Sierra Nevada about 20 minutes away. The resort itself looked good with bars and restaurants everywhere. We have looked at accommodation there but its twice the cost and doesn't look half as good as what the apartment is, so were justified in our choice. We've been skiing all over Europe, America and Canada and the accommodation is right up there with the best of them and for the sake of a 20 minute drive and the chance to stay in a typical Spanish village it was well worth it. We will definitely be returning next year but for a week - that's how impressed we were. I would make sure you have google translate on your phone if you don't speak Spanish as some of the restaurants struggle with English but it made it enjoyable and we all managed to muddle through in the end!! Overall a great holiday and I must thank Clare for all her help with my endless questions before we left England and for letting us stay in her lovely 2nd home.

We booked this property based on location for walking in the Sierra Nevada and proximity to Granada. On both counts the property fulfilled all of our needs and then proceeded to over-deliver based on comfort, the village of Guejar Sierra, cleanliness and views from the apartment. We will return!

Excellent apartment in a great location for exploring Granada and the mountains.
We had a fantastic stay at Guejahr Sierra and were warmly welcomed by Rosie. The apartment is extremely comfortable for a family of five, has stunning views from the large balcony, and is very close to the village square for bars and shops. Our highlights included: daily dips in the reservoir (clean and warm), trips to Granada (about 30 minutes leisurely drive away), and drives up into the mountains (including a cable car ride to the top from Sierra Nevada). Best of all, our stay coincided with the August fiesta so were treated to daily and nightly entertainment that ranged from horse racing, to flamenco, to brass bands, through to live music until 6am. Highly recomended.

Spacious, comfortable, modern apartment with amazing views, good facilities and great location!
Perfect. The village of Guejar Sierra is wonderful - very friendly, stunning scenery, with plenty of places to eat and drink at very reasonable prices. Good location for reaching Granada by bus or car. Fantastic walks from the village in the hills and along the valley. The apartment provided everything we needed and was well located within the village. Rosie, the lady who welcomed us with the key, was English, and gave us plenty of tips and information. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fairly peaceful holiday in an absolutely beautiful location, especially if you enjoy walking. (But it's probably not recommended to anyone with walking difficulties). We would love to return.

Scenic
Our stay in Guejar sierra/ Granada was very convenient for visiting The Alhambra & Albaicin, 2 must visit sites in the region of Granada. The apartment was bright, spacious with all the conveniences one needs. 3 generous bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a spacious terrace with great views of the Sierra Nevadas snow capped mountains. The apartment was very easy to find and Rosie the house keeper was very kind and helpful, A bonus of a garage for parking was great. The village is tiny with a selection of eclectic restaurants, a small supermarket, a bakery & many Bars of varying qualities. The landscape, the walks near the village are breath taking, along with some very gorgeous mountain villages in Alpujarra region just a few Km away. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it for guests wanting to visit The Alhambra especially as it was so easy to get to from Guejar Sierra Richard & Suzie Western Australia

La casa está muy cómoda y espaciosa, está en un lugar muy bien comunicado tanto para ir a la ciudad de granada como a sierra nevada, eso si, si te mareas en las curvas para llegar al pueblo hay unas cuantas Yo he ido en invierno y la casa está perfecta para no pasar nada de frío y con lo justo para la estancia.

Prachtig ruim appartement met inpandige parking
Top! 3 Slaapkamers en 2 badkamers en uitgebreide keuken. Alles keurig netjes en schoon. Goed werkende WIFI! Vanaf de voorkant 1 trap omhoog, vanuit de parking een lift. In praktijk is het ongeveer een half uur naar de piste via een erg steil weggetje, dat prachtig uitzicht geeft op het dorp en het appartement. Ook ongeveer een half uur naar de parking van het Alhambra waarvandaan je zo Granada inloopt. Mooie omgeving en prima skigebied met aardige en geduldige mensen (anders dan in Oostenrijk;)). In het dorp zit een kleine supermarkt en een klein bakkertje met vers brood die al vroeg open is. Klein nadeel is de krappe indraai van de parking, op de 2e dag stond er iemand zo geparkeerd dat het moeite kostte om de parking uit te komen. Klein nadeel nummer 2 is de kille witte LED verlichting die veel is gebruikt in het appartement. De plaatselijke ski verhuur is veel goedkoper maar heeft geen grote schoenmaten:-) Dus voor maat 46 en 47 hebben we schoenen gehuurd in Pradollano.
