Small mountain village house with character. Sea views . Polopos, Granada.
Polopos is ideally placed to enjoy a peaceful rural holiday, away from possible crowds on the coast, yet just twenty minutes drive down to the beach . This small house is simply full of character, in a typical Andalucian white village situated in the mountains ,10km from the coast and at an altitude of 700metres. The house has been modernised yet retains many original features with its low ceilings, original beams, grape treading floor and walls almost a metre wide.The spacious south facing terrace has spectacular mountain and sea views. The house is open plan with living/dining area, kitchen area, bedroom area (with double bed) and bathroom (ie shower and toilet) The sofá in the living room can convert to a double bed.
Polopos is an agricultural village with welcoming inhabitants. There are no shops here but the bread van passes by daily, the fish van once or twice a week and a fruit and vegetable van parks up for a couple of hours on both Wednesday and Saturday. When you go to the local bar, your drink will be served with tapas (for free) If you want a larger plate you can ask for ‘raciones’ . In the plaza, the recently opened Cantina Verde, specialises in vegetarian or vegan food, though usually there a fish or meat option too. Several kilos of local almonds await you in the house! Almonds, figs and grapes are harvested in late summer, avocados in December. The almonds trees blossom in January and February. Please note, the bedroom area is small, measuring just under 8 square metres; it has a double bed. In the living room area there is a sofabed which opens to a double bed The house is simply, but adequately, furnished (there is no washing machine but a neighbour can provide a laundry service if you wish)

Thank you for your kind words. It is always a pleasure to know that others love my place as much as I do! Glad to hear that Polopos and its people provided the perfect setting for the type of holiday you were looking for. You will be very welcome to return.
We had a really great time in Polopos. Alices house is very nice. It has everything you may need. You can have dinner on the terrace with a great view down the valley to the ocean. We really enjoyed our days in the village.
The people there are very nice and always help you when you have any needs. Some basic knowledge in spanish are requiered, because most of them don't speak english.
The village is placed in a beautiful surrounding full of almond groves. Also the road leading to Polopos is quite fun to drive.

Thank you. Always good to hear that people have had a good time . Yes , Polopos, its’ people and the surroundings are great. And I feel so fortunate to have such a welcoming, characterful house.!
We would like to thank Alice for sharing her idyllic cottage with us, a fantastic little house that was ideal for what we wanted. We enjoyed roaming around the hotch-potch of whitewashed houses of Polopos, greeted by the ever-smiling and friendly locals, sitting on the terrace with superb views down the valley to the Mediterranean (great for stargazing, too!), as well as taking daily trips to the coastal towns of Castell de Ferro and Castillo de Baños for a swim and food supplies from the local supermarkets.
The property had all the amenities you would require for a relaxing rustic holiday and Alice made sure she was always available to answer our queries and offer local advice.
We enjoyed staying there so much that we felt really sad to leave!

Fantastisk plats, det finns inga ord att beskriva hur vackert det är. Man måste se det själv.
Jätte trevlig och fin liten by stuga, självklart nyrenoverad.

perfect winter escape
polopos is a beautiful little andalucian village tucked in the hills on the mediterranean coast. alice's cottage is comfortable and well-equipped, and its great little balcony has spectacular views down to the water. we had sunny, warm weather through december (though we were told this was not typical), perfect for sunning ourselves on the balcony or exploring the surrounding region. highly recommended for anyone in need of a village-break for a replenishing dose of fresh-air and vitamin d.

"Es una bonita casa rural...
"Es una bonita casa rural, en un pueblo pequeño (hay unos 70 habitantes) de la baja alpujarra y cerca de la costa, el entorno es magnifico y la casa es muy acogedora y con todo lo necesario, para una pareja. Lo peor las carreteras de la zona...por la altura y las curvas. Hay que tener cuidado. Alice, fue muy amable con nosotros. El precio ajutado, correcto.
Lo recomiendo.
