Property Description

Situated above the Moorish church at the top of the village. this extremely spacious, split level house enjoys spectacular views of the almost perpetually snow-capped Sierra Nevada and the village itself. Private entrance gate leads to a secluded walled garden with vine shaded dining, relaxation pool and sunbathing terrace. 2 double bedrooms, a spacious, well equipped kitchen/diner, shower room and a large airy beamed living area with double doors leading onto the first floor terrace. Here there is a barbeque, which doubles as an open fire and sunbeds. One end of the terrace is covered, providing shade during the intense heat of July/August but can also be enclosed to provide an outside area for cooler spring and autumn evenings. All rooms are equipped with ceiling fans and there are 2 woodburning stoves to provide warmth during winter evenings. The traditional style of architecture with shuttered windows ensures the house remains cool in summer and cosy in winter.

Local Activities

With a population of just under 1000, Torvizcon has 4 bars plus a hotel and pension, both of which serve meals. There are also 3 small supermarkets, bakery, butchers, fishmongers and a weekly vegetable stall, enabling you to do all your shopping without leaving the village. The travelling market visits on the 1st and 16th of every month with a selection of clothing, plants, nuts and olives etc. For a wider range of shops and a bustling Thursday market, the town of Orgiva is just 20 kms away.

The open air village pool is open during the months of July and August and there is a children's play area open daily.

Las Alpujarras are the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range which form a green and scenic valley between Granada and the coast. Watered by the Moorish system of Acequias, the land is in part fertile whilst elsewhere it remains scrubby and craggy providing a wide range of habitats for local flora and fauna. Look out for the ibex and wild mountain goats often to be seen from the roadside and marvel at the array of wild flowers in spring and September. Walking, cycling, mountain biking, riding, quads, para gliding and even skiing are all available close by.

Alternatively, why not pay a visit to the picturesque pueblos blancos dotted around the mountainside. Pampaneira is famed for it's handcrafted rugs and pottery as well as it's scenic location in the Poquiera Gorge whilst Trevelez (highest village in Spain) is popular for the locally cured hams dried in the fresh mountain air and provides the starting point for climbing Mulhacen. The stunning architecture and gardens of the Alhambra and Generalife are unmissable but make sure you leave some time for simply relaxing in the sun.It is a 45 minute drive to the beaches of the Costa Tropical, the nearest being Playa de Granada and Salobrena, both offering shops, bars, restaurants and beach showers. The hilltop village of Salobrena itself is an extremely pretty and historic town offering a full range of shops and ancient castle.

Quietier beaches without facilities are located just outside the town and there is a nudist beach with bars/restaurants at Canterrijan, approximately 1 hour 15 mins from the house.
