Is ideal for individuals and groups coming to the High Alpujarra for walking, biking or horseriding holidays. It offers self-catering accomodation for up to 10 people in a beautiful 250-300 year old restored Moorish casa. The house, in the village of Pitres, is in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Andalucia in southern Spain. Authentic restoration and some alteration have made this a very unique, spacious and beautiful house. Built on two levels, the upper floor of 250m sq. is the living accomodation and the lower floor houses the old bodega (wine cellar), where up to 5 years ago the villagers were still bringing their grapes to be pressed. Of course the jewel in the crown of this beautiful house is its open internal patio with arabic style arches and an arabic hammam style swimming pool.

La Vieja Bodega (The Old Wine Cellar) is near the edge of Pitres which is more of a small town than a village. It was once the Moorish "capital" of the Alpujarras and is today the administrative centre for La Taha, the local region comprising 8 villages. It has several bars, restuarants, a very good vegetarian restuarant El Jardin, hotel, good supermarket, health food shop, bank, clinic, pharmacy and a few other shops. Friday mornings are market days in the plaza where all fresh produce, clothes and crafts can be bought. Prices in Spain are generally very good- you will definitely be happily surprised at the cost of a meal, wine, beer and food in shops, and prices and size of tots in bars, where you will generally still get a free 'tapa' with each wine or beer ordered! Tapas can vary from olives and cheese or ham, to generous small plates of pork stew or paella - there is a big range and they reflect Alpujarrean cuisine (which helps when you are faced with the unknown on a menu). A few drinks have often supplied a free meal.
Pitres has avoided becoming a tourist mecca, which has happened to a few of the villages in the High Alpujarra - on the positive side their more active night life can be enjoyed after a short drive. Flamenco and live music concerts (jazz, world music, classical) are regular events in summer. Pitres itself one night had the Nottingham Symphony Orchestra playing in the plaza - amazing, to say the least.
A great advantage of being in Pitres is that it is in the centre of the High Alpujarras and many of the best walks pass through or near it.
Further afield, the city of Granada with the Alhambra Palace and old Moorish streets is only 1hr20m by car. The same time to the Costa Tropical with its beautiful beaches, beach bars/seafood restuarants and great swimming.

5 twin bedrooms
