'El Nido' Peaceful holiday cottage with private pool and gardens. Dog friendly.

El Nido is the perfect place to relax, revive and simply enjoy the glories of the Alpujarra. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable and amazingly well-equipped, very private and with a fabulous pool. We loved the days we stayed 'home', chilling in the garden and watching the shadows change on the surrounding Sierras. Orgiva is a 10-minute walk away and has everything you need - several supermarkets, a covered market, bars and restaurants and a lively Thursday market. Clare, Ainsley and Selcuk are the best hosts, discreet but on hand to help with everything. Would we go back? We have never rebooked anywhere on our first day before but guess what - we'll be back next year!

Superbly equipped cottage that is well maintained. Clare and Ainsley are excellent hosts - ever happy to help and offer guidance. The garden is 100% dog safe which makes relaxing easier. I have no hesitation in recommending both the property and hosts. Thank you.

This is a great place to stay! Owners are living next door. If you need something there are always available, otherwise you will not notice them at all (but you may find fresh vegetables from their garden in front of your door in the morning!). Lovely colourful house, nice garden and fantastic private pool. Secluded and quiet, but only a pleasant 10 minutes walk to the city center. Also: unlike many other places, you will find oil, salt, spices, coffee and other basic stuff available in the kitchen. Great service! Not to mention cold beer and wine in the fridge on your arrival. Highly recommended!

We recently had the great pleasure of staying at Clare and Ainsley's lovely house known as 'El Nido' (The Nest) recently and I have to say how much we loved the place! When you first arrive you're taken in by the lovely garden and pool space with a good mixture of seating in sun and shade to cater for everyone. When you get inside El Nido you can't help but smile, it's such a lovely place. Set on different levels the house is very colourful, full of charm and plenty of character! Simply ideal for a holiday in such a lovely part of the world. Highly recommended!!

We have been spending a fabulously relaxing week here at El Nido, this is our 4th visit and we'll be back next year. Claire and Ainsley are always very helpful from suggesting places to eat to experiences to enjoy. We couldn't, think of better place to experience real Spain in such a lovely cottage with smashing private pool and wonderful views of the mountains .

Two wonderful weeks at El Nido with our eight and nine year old boys. The perfect place to unwind, read by the pool and enjoy the sunshine. Loads of good restaurants in walking distance and plenty of day trips when you want to go further afield (the white villages, the coast, Granada were the three we managed). Perfect hosts and their perfect pets looked after us beautifully - there when we needed them but nowhere to be seen when we didn't.
