Orgiva holiday rental villa with private pool, Alpujarras, Spain

The villa was perfect for our needs as a young family on a budget: the living space was comfortable and clean, the children's bedroom was great and the gardens were beautiful. the gardens had lovely orange and fig trees and a well-maintained pool area. The views were fantastic. The villas situation was also good. We were half an hour from the coast (and the waterparks that our children enjoyed so much), and half an hour from Granada and the Alhambra which was somewhere we were keen to visit. It was perfect for a young family. The keyholder was very helpful and friendly and her father, who came to look after the gardens, was kind and friendly, bringing us fresh vegetables. The town of Orgiva had all of the amenities we needed, and although we chose not to eat out regularly we did have a couple of good meals at the nearby Flor de Limonero restaurant. We felt it was a bit further than walking distance into town with young children, especially in the hotter summer months, but it as a very quick and easy drive. Orgiva itself wasn't as picturesque as some of the beautiful hilltop villages nearby but it was bustling and friendly with a charm of its own. The only things that I would have improved upon were the shower area in the bathroom which flooded easily and also the double bed in the main bedroom, it wasn't very comfortable. Thank you for a lovely holiday!"

We have recently come back from this property and were very sad to leave and plan on staying longer next time. It had everything we needed. The outdoor eating area was a bonus to not only have our meals at but also to cool down when it got too hot but the gardens were lovely and the private pool was a definite plus. Our correspondence from Rustical Travel and our instructions for our journey from the airport were invaluable and from start to finish it was a very smooth and enjoyable holiday. My only comment would be that it would be so much better if you could leave the villa at perhaps 12pm instead of 10am. Because you have such a relaxed holiday all week - then suddenly to be out by 10am on the day of departure all seems like a bit of a rush and is a shame. Obviously we understand about the changeover but it does seem like quite a long time as you can't check in till at least 5pm and maybe the times can be changed depending on the villa? Just a suggestion! But overall we had an absolutely super holiday and will definitely be booking again. Many thanks."
