Unique cottage for 2 retreat with pool in Sierra Nevada National Park Alpujarras
We do not accept any guest who has been recognised by ICC as being part of any Genocide or supporting one in the world.
This cosy cortijo is situated between the villages of Busquistar and Trevelez and 25 km from the town of Orgiva. These self-catering cottages also locally known as casa rural are located in the heart of Las Alpujarras in the National Park in Sierra Nevada near Granada, Andalusia. The unique geographical location makes it ideal from the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean to the south and the Alhambra in Granada to the north.
This cortijo (one of 3) is ideally situated for a couple looking for a break from it all. It is self contained with its own bathroom, kitchen/sitting room and one double bedroom. It has its own private terrace with seating, bbq, hammock and stunning views. It is set in large gardens with a wide variety of fruit trees as well as grassed areas and guests are welcome to wander wherever they like. It is only a short walk from the swimming pool. The large pool (11 x 6 m) is filled from a natural spring water stream. Please note that the swimming pool is shared between this cottage and 2 other detached cottages but you will hardly ever find other people by the pool as often guests spend a day at the beach or visiting Granada or hiking locally.
The cortijos are equidistant (approx 4 km) from the villages of Busquistar and Trevelez, both of which offer various food shops, bars and restaurants. Trevelez claims to be the highest village in Spain and is famous all over the world for its jamon serrano, cured ham. Wander around Trevelez and anywhere you look you will find jamon legs hanging from the ceiling of bars and restaurants.
The famous picturesque white villages of Pampaneira, Bubion and Capiliera are about 20 minutes drive away. These picturesque villages are full of traditional flat roofed Alpujarran houses and narrow alleyways, best explored on foot.
The garden and grounds are extensive and guests are encouraged to wander freely and explore. There is also a peaceful shaded area with various 500 year old chestnut trees, ideal for meditation, yoga and relaxation.

About the host
Hosted by Mohammad Fini
I am the founder of Tumi ( Latin American Crafts), Tumi Music and Tumi productions. Though I am an Anglo-Iranian national, I have spent most of my life in Latin America in search of Music and crafts and have written several books on Latin America including The Weavers of ancient Peru, Portrait of Latin America, co-author of Cuban Dictionary ( University press- USA) and together with my wife Lucy The arts and crafts of South America(Thames and Hudson-UK).
We both love travelling, investigating and learning from the many different cultures of Latin America.
We have travelled across South America on a motor bike, a Landrover and once crossed the Andes with 2 donkeys over a period of 11 months.
We love meeting people of different cultures and speak various languages including Spanish, English, Persian and a good knowledge of Portuguese. I even learnt to speak the Inca Language “Quechua”.

Why they chose this property
We love the sun and there is plenty of that in Southern Spain. I had a business for 25 years in Costa del Sol in southern Spain and during those years, I became familiar with this part of Spain. As we got older, we wanted a quiet place for peace and tranquillity, a place where we could embrace nature without noise and cars, a place we could eventually retire to. Hence the Alpujarras in Sierra Nevada. Over 20 years ago, we found this land with several cortijos , stone cottages in Moorish language. They all needed serious attention. So we spent the first 10 years doing them up, growing fruit trees and establishing a vineyard. It's an on-going project as new ideas develop and we spend more time here.
What makes this property unique
Cortijos Rey Fini is unique as it is in the heart of the national Park and perhaps it is the only place in the entire Alpujarras that shares all borders with the national park. We have plenty of water from the peaks of Mulhacen mountain which is a true gift in this part of the world. We are approx 1500 m above sea level meaning even in the hottest months of the year it never gets too hot.
We are only an hour or so from many beautiful Mediterranean beaches and the same distance from Granada and Alhambra. We are surrounded by beautiful scenery with lots of hiking paths and stunning views and wildlife.
Ultimately it is the perfect place to relax, unwind and take a step back from every day life.
