Los Olivos is a self catering cortijo (villa) set within the grounds of 'Finca El Gales', a 5 acre relaxed olive, almond and fig plantation located on the southern foothills of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range. Los Olivos has private access and its location offers guests stunning 360 degree views. It is the perfect secluded location for a 'get away from it all' holiday. Only 10 minutes drive or a 40 minute walk to the busy market town of Orgiva, you can access some excellent restaurants, tapas bars (still free in the province of Granada) all amenities, and the lively Thursday street market. Los Olivos is surrounded by various terraces, a totally private pool and a large covered patio with a bbq. Outside dinning furniture, sunloungers, beach chairs, shade and pool toys are provided by us. Mother Nature has provided the cleanest air in Europe, views to die for and the flora and fauna of southern Spain (watch out for the eagles! ). We fell in love with this area, will you


Outside: Los Olivos is set in a 5 acre site so guests are free to roam, and explore. A 40 sqm covered patio, with views across the valley is the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dinning, relaxing with a good book in the cooling mountain breezes, or build a playdo elephant if you are 4!!. Sunloungers, beach chairs, plastic cups and plates are available for your use around the pool which is completely private and not overlooked at all. The pool is fully tiled, cleaned once a week and filtered every day and is open weather permitting from April to October - It is covered with a safety cover at all other times.

Los Olivos has its own private track some 400 meters from the owners house which as with all rural tracks in Spain it´s bumpy in places, but passable by all cars. Our main Cerro Negro track has had the first km concreted (Sep 2008) so its then only 700m to the owners house which is well maintained. There is no passing traffic as we are at the end of a very quiet track, the nearest neigbour is about 600m away. It really is as tranquil as this area gets, yet its only 10 minutes, 4km (by car) to the village of Orgiva which has everything you would need for your holiday.

We are always looking to improve the garden areas (as if the views are not enough ! ), and have added two new terraces to the rear of the house in 2010 and planted cherrys, lemons, oranges, plums, peach, pear, various flowers including spanish jasmine, bougainvillea, hibiscus, ivy, honeysuckle, red and white trumpets, and various others which i can't name (but liked the look of. We have also planted buffalo grass (no small task on an Andalucian hill side ) around the house on the lower terraces, its into its 2nd year and starting to cover nicely. Figs, almonds and olives grow all around and anything may be picked and eaten when in season.
We added a large chicken run last year, 2011 and now have 4 different types of cockrels and around 20 hens. Fresh organic eggs are almost always available, and we are also breeding for meat birds at the moment so fresh organic chicken is on the cards !
Next year we are looking (time permitting ) to add a few pigs and boost vegtable production, so the small holding seems to be getting bigger ! Come and enjoy.

    This home was well equipped and clean. The hosts were very welcoming. So much that my youngest assumed we knew them already. The view, pool, and property are even more stunning in person. It's incredibly quiet and isolated, but felt safe. It's quiet and isolated, but close to the food and fun of nearby villages and Granada. As other said, rent an SUV to travel throughout the are and to this home.

    Description for the property faultless. Fantastic property with everything you need for a stay. A car is essential. Property clean and fantastic pool.Perfect place for either a quiet retreat or as a central base to travel Andalucía. We visited the coast, Granada, horse riding in Orgiva and visited the Ham factory in Trevelez. Overall a superb stay good hosts really a chilled out place to stay. I will return next time i need to chill out wheter it nbe summer or winter.

    Wow! This place was incredible. The views alone were phenomenal. The fantastic property, with a brilliant swimming pool, was the cherry on top - it had everything you need and more! The area is beautiful. Although we planned to go out every day, we spent a few days at the pool side with cervezas! Honestly, it was like a beautiful dream. The owners were so helpful, great communication. We will be visiting again and will make sure all our family and friends know about this little gem!

    The hosts, the home, the setting, the conditions of everything was top notch. The view was mesmerizing and the stars at night endless.But be advised the last 200 meters of road is tricky. The steep grade and loose gravel are not suited to low profile vehicles or nervous drivers.That said, it was worth the effort. Just plan to arrive, settle in and enjoy. Not a base of operations for lots of local trips. When we return we will likely bring everything we need for a few nights and never leave.

    We felt we were in our own magical bubble here - beautiful views, flowers, trees. The owners were lovely and very kind - the kids loved the dogs, the chickens. We would love to come back. Thank you so much, we really loved it!

    Very well built and equipped cortijo with some stunning views. Owner is very friendly, helpful and accessible. The access path is not for the faint-hearted.

    Lovely rustic property with amazing views. We loved the gas barbecue and the covered terrace for meals outside. Inside was simple but worked ok. We were very pleased to find mosquito screens over all the windows, which meant we could have fresh air all night. Fans were provided in all the rooms. The track is a bit of a shock first time, but we got used to it and you can't have a view without a hill! The little pool was fantastic and very warm in September. Thanks Ieuan and Sonia

    My little Family and I have stayed at Sonia and Ieuan's Finca for one week. Everything was perfect (the Finca itself, the view, the weather, the pool,.. etc) we could really enjoy our time there in every way possible (sunrise, sunset, the Stars at the evening fortunately also full moon) The location of the Finca is good, about 15 minutes away from Orgiva, maximal one hour from Granada or Motril. It was a quite adventure to drive the road up to the Finca. Sonia and Ieuan are very nice and helpful people, they provided us with everything we had needed for our Stay. We would like to come again in the future and stay in this beautiful and amazing place. Strongly recommended for people, who appreciate their privacy and tranquility. Thank you Sonia and Ieuan.
