Hus for ferieutleie i Pinos del Valle, El Pinar, Granada

Set on the edge of the village of Pinos del Valle overlooking a great view towards the Sierra Nevada, our duplex "Miriam" is a comfortable two bedroom two bathroom townhouse, accessible from the pool and with its own private terraces overlooking the pool to the east and the countryside to the west. There are wifi networks available in all houses.

The main attraction of Jardines de Pinos - an enclosed pool patio 8 mt by 4 mt pool facing south - is available to you just a few paces away. The village is quiet but the pool of Jardines is even quieter for being inside a private area. This area is shared by four other small houses and apartments, plus our manager's apartment. The shared pool works very well, we generally find that even when all properties are full in August, different guest groups tend to use the pool at different times, and there are common sense rules about noise late at night etc.

The village of Pinos del Valle is idyllic, being sited on the edge of the Sierra Nevada National Park. Nearby there is a hill "Chinchirilla" which is full of pine trees whose scent pervades the whole area. At the top of Chinchirilla is "La Hermita", the shrine to the Patron Saint of Pinos del Valle, Santo Cristo del Zapatero. The view of Chinchirilla and La Hermita can be enjoyed from many of the terraces in Jardines de Pinos, and indeed from the village bar, whose unflappable patrons are always on hand to sell ice cold beer and free delicious tapas.

Within easy reach of Pinos is the main Granada-Costa Tropical autovia, though thankfully not near enough to hear it. The convenience of having the motorway nearby, compared to other more remote villages, cannot be overstated. You can get to Spain´s foremost National Monument - the Alhambra Palace and Castle - and the city of Granada in just 25 minutes, and a similar time is all you need to arrive at the beach. Just around the corner from Pinos on the south facing slopes of the Sierra Nevada are the Alpujarra villages whose gateway is Orgiva, which has a colourful market on Thursdays.

We look forward to seeing you in the Valley of Lecrin, an idyllic place with lots of cultural events, fiestas and tapas bars, just 30 km south from Granada, and within easy reach of the beach and the Sierra Nevada.
