About this property
Cottage in a small picturesque mountain village in the Alpujarras
The small, ancient village house "Casa Santa Ana" has been carefully and lovingly restored and furnished in the original Alpujarras architectural style. On the upper floor there is the living room with an integrated kitchen, a sofa bed, wood stove, television, and one small balcony with a view of the mountains. On the lower floor there is the double bedroom and the bathroom with shower. You can sleep wonderfully with the window open and enjoy the silence of the night. Fondales is one of the most beautiful and smallest villages in the Alpujarras, which has kept its authentic character for centuries and still inspires painters, musicians and writers to this day. The Alpujarras, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, are a fantastic hiking area with very easy to demanding tours. Even summiteers are not neglected here, because the two mountains Mulhacen and Veleta are the highest mountains of the Iberian Peninsula with almost 3500 meters of altitude and also a fantastic ski area in winter. If you would like to end your mountain vacation by the sea, look under object number 2405400. We offer you the option of combining mountains and beach, because Almuñecar on the Costa Tropical is easily accessible from here in an hour.

Unique opportunity to stay at a real moorish antique
Ute and Carlos were welcoming and warm, the village is beautiful, house is a real antique with the comforts of today. Highly recommended for all that appreciate world history and unique experiences.
We spend a few days in the calm of the Sierra Nevada mountains, away from the overwhelming heat, in the little two level house, with the bedroom under the living space. It was nice and rustic, just like we hoped it would be. The surroundings are splendid!
Ute and Carlos couldn’t have looked after us better - even bringing around lemons and tomatoes for us. The house is amazing and beautifully kept and has everything you could need. Highly recommended! Gracias Ute y Carlos
Carlos and Ute were marvellous hosts. We enjoyed the cottage, with all necessary amenities. Carlos advised us about walks and ran us up to the bus to the Sierra Nevada. A wonderful place to explore quiet Spain
Superó nuestras expectativas. La casa es muy acogedora y limpia. Incluye todos los accesorios necesarios tanto en cocina como baño, habitación… cuidando al detalle cada necesidad que pueda surgir. Los anfitriones (Ute y Carlos) son muy amables, cercanos y generosos, siempre ofreciendo ayuda para lo que necesitáramos. Y si vas con perro esta casa es también la mejor opción. Mi mujer Carmen y yo volveremos seguro.

Hola Carlos y Carmen, muchas gracias por vuestro comentario tan detallado y amable.Estamos muy contento que habeis disfrutado nuestra casita.Estais siempre bien venidos.Saludos cordiales de Ute y Carlos
Todo perfecto, una casa pintoresca, con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días, tanto los vecinos como los propietarios, son gente maravillosa, atentos por y para todo.
Prachtig gelegen authentiek huisje in een zeer rustig gelegen gehucht. Heel volledig qua keukenuitrusting. Ute en Carlos zijn fijne gastheren! Wij maakten daar een prachtige wandeling en konden heerlijk eten in de Pizzeria, tussen de Spanjaarden
Dentro de la masificación que sufre la Alpujarra en puentes festivos, Fondales es un oasis de tranquilidad, paz y sosiego.
Además tanto como los propietarios como los lugareños, nos trataron siempre con excelente hospitalidad. Lo recomendaré a todos mis conocidos.
Hemos pasado unos dias magnificos en casa de Ute y Carlos. La zona es sencillamente preciosa. la casa, aunque pequeña, tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar unos dias estupendos. Los anfitriones son dos personas carismáticas y encantadoras. Volveremos
La propriétaire a laissé quelques ingrédients de base, café,thé,huile vinaigre sel poivre liquide vaisselle... Les lits étaient fait, des serviettes éponges. Vraiment formidable.
En plus il y a dans le village un restaurant, bonne ambiance, bon repas. Nous y sommes allés 3 soirs.
Estuvimos mi pareja y yo pasando el fin de semana y la verdad que no se puede pedir más, la casa preciosa en un entorno único,rodeado de naturaleza y un silencio y una paz espectacular, y los dueños, tanto Ute como Carlos son para hacerles un monumento, desde que llegamos se ofrecieron a cualquier cosa que nos hiciera falta y lo mejor, nos aconsejaron el mejor sitio donde comer, la cueva de mora luna,gracias x todo
Alojamiento muy coqueto en plena naturaleza y mucha tranquilidad. Los vecinos muy amables y los propietarios muy cercanos y cariñosos. Mi perro se lo pasó genial
