A truly wonderful property which while close to the town, is far enough to make you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The house was so warm and inviting and Sigi was the perfect host, easy to contact and helpful. Would definitely book again.
I always love staying here, the house is beautiful and stylish, with amazing gardens and pools. Great comms with the owner and local team on hand to help with any issues
Our 3 weeks in Sierra Nevada was perfect because of this cortijo. The house and garden were beautifully restored and maintained and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sigi for sharing your house with us.
Incredibly Casa Luca really is even better than it looks on the website! Thatâs true of the house - which has everything, all done to perfection - and of the peaceful, secluded and beautiful garden. And of course this perfect holiday house and garden has what has to be the best pool Iâve encountered in a rental to date. Add the ideal location and it has to be said this place canât really be beaten!
We have stayed in this house twice. It is a stunning house. The inside and outside are really beautiful, set in a stunning olive grove, it is a beautifully restored house.
Cooking on the barbecue and eating outside, after a relaxed day - just wonderful.
The pool area is really beautiful.
The house is an easy reach to Granada, Malaga and the surrounding beaches.
Sigi is a warm and lovely host đ„°
If you want a relaxing hol, in a beautiful house, we would absolutely recommend booking.
My husband, son aged 14 and daughter aged 12 stayed at Sigiâs place for 14 nights. The setting is beautiful. The villa itself is simple and very stylish with everything you need. The pool is definitely the best pool we have ever had with the most amazing picture perfect backdrop. The children spent hours in it playing volleyball.
During our stay we did âEl Caminito del Reyâ which was a great experience but itâs a bit of a drive (2 hours).
Closer by and definitely not to be missed, is the Alhambra and the AlbaicĂn area of Granada.
We also went horse riding locally and did a sunset hike. Both great experiences.
Sigiâs place is a lovely to get away from it all. We didnât really venture into Ărgiva town centre much other than to get groceries as BBQing at the villa was so lovely. There are some picturesque little villages to visit which are only a 25 min drive away.
Sigi is a great host and responds quickly! Barney and his wife Sarah look after the pool and garden and Clara does the cleaning. All really great and lovely to chat to đ
We had a really easy, peaceful and relaxing week at this beautifully furnished villa, set in a lush garden with stunning views of the mountains from the pool. Sigi, the owner has made Casa Luca feel like a home from home and was very helpful and responsive in communications.
The children were very happy playing in the pool and garden all day, with the odd trip to Orgiva for ice cream or lunch- thereâs lots of choice. We had a couple of tasty meals at the campsite restaurant which is within walking distance, and enjoyed the nearby river which is a great little swimming spot. The kitchen was well equipped and there were numerous spots fir eating or drinking outside, we enjoyed some lovely alfresco meals in the shade of olive trees. There were 2 hammocks that we enjoyed having siestas or reading in, and the garden was not overlooked so felt very private.
We were there in the full heat of August with temperatures were in the high 30s; we would love to go back but would probably come when temperatures at night are cooler- the villa walls are lovely and thick so keep the warmth in very well but we found it too hot at night even with the fans on. Probably relating to the heat and nearby farm there were lots of flies around but the sprays provided helped a little. The kids would also have liked TV available in English but we loved getting away from the TV! I would have rated the property 5 stars if it wasnât for these small issues.
Overall we had a great experience there, and found the villa comfortable and stylish, with everything in great working order, in a great location. Thanks so much Sigi!
Wir waren ĂŒber eine verlĂ€ngerte Woche in Sigis Haus und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Zum einen ist es ein wunderbarer Ort, um zu verweilen. Die schöne Terrasse ist unter einem alten Olivenbaum mit Blick auf die schneebedeckte Sierra Nevada auf der einen Seite und den Höhenzug der Alpurras auf der andern sicherlich einer unserer LieblingsplĂ€tze. Herrlich ist es auch oben am Pool gewesen. Es gibt einfach fĂŒr jede Tageszeit sonnengeflutete oder beschattete Platz zum Verweilen. Nur eine kurze Autofahrt entfernt gibt es tolle Wanderwege, z.B. in Lanjaron oder auch direkt auf der anderen FluĂseite. Mit dem Auto braucht man ca 1 Stunde nach Granada (wir waren 2 x dort) und ca. 30 Minuten an die StrĂ€nde. Nach Malaga sind es etwa 90 Minuten. Einkaufen ist in Orgiva möglich, keine 5 Minuten entfernt. Im Haus fanden wir alles vor, was benötigt wurde. Alles war sauber und die Einrichtung sehr gemĂŒtlich und geschmackvoll. Der Check Inn war völlig unkompliziert. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.
Fijn huis, ook om in de winter te zijn (zoals in ons geval). Fijn terras bij het huis; heerlijk om in de zon buiten in te zijn. Voorzien van wat nodig is om er (in ons geval 2 weken) te zijn. Prima uitvalbasis om in omgeving te wandelen, paardrijden of (met 1 a 2 uur rijden) steden te bezoeken. Zwembad in de winter uiteraard niet in gebruik. Wandeling omhoog naar het dorp (Orgiva) neemt circa 35 minuten; waar je dan een heerlijk kop koffie met lekkers kunt nemen. Dorp Orgiva zelf ook fascinerend door mix van bewoners; ga het ontdekken.
We were grandparents with our family-2 adults and 2 little ones.
The property was generous and comfortable. We felt Sigi had thought of every thing to make our stay easy. The photos were very accurate . The garden really was as pretty and entrancing as shown.
Super nette Vermieterin, tolles Haus mit AtmosphÀre
Was soll ich sagen - trotz der schlechten Wetterbedingungen (Sahara Staub) hat Sigi alles ermöglicht, um uns den Aufenthalt so schön, wie möglich zu machen. Das Haus war uns 1 Woche lang ein super-gemĂŒtliches Zuhause. Danke dafĂŒr!
This is a lovely villa, gardens and pool. We were two families with teenagers and the accommodation worked really well for us with enough space for everyone. Really well equipped kitchen and none of the usual chef's (me!) hassles with a rental property kitchen plus loads of fridge/freezer space for drinks/food and a top spec bbq.
Sigi was very accommodating and helpful; this holiday had been rearranged from 2020 due to covid.
Many thanks from us all
Ps. Big shout out to Barney and Clara too!
This was a wonderful property to stay at. We greatly enjoyed our family time away here in August. The landscape, the pool, and property are just beautiful. A perfect atmosphere. Thank you.
It was very hot when we here but cool areas in the house and perfect for our daughters by the pool. Great pool with the kids pool perfect for our grandson. Villa suits a family like ours really well and liked being able to get into town so easily for eating out. Well supplied house with all we needed.
What a lovely, relaxing place! We felt Casa Luca was the best of both worlds: it is on the edge of Orgiva, so still close to town, but far enough out that it is quiet and rural. The area attracts more tourists than it did the last time we visited 20 years ago, but it retains a sense of being 'real' and there are plenty of walks on which you will meet no one but ibex and birds. On the local 'route of centenarian olive trees', Casa Luca retains a sense of being amongst working smallholdings with its own olive and orange trees. The pool was gorgeous, we loved the way the house is decorated and it is well appointed for a rental villa. The two bathrooms also made a big difference to our party of 8. The villa has good sized bedrooms with comfy beds. We used the fireplace and wood stove for chilly evenings, which were lovely. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. We visited for Semana Santa and enjoyed the processions in town as well as the white villages, and of course the sunshine and relaxation. The local feria 'Hecho en la Alpujarra' was on and was a good source of handicraft finds (lovely local pottery). We even managed to get one day of skiing in the Sierra Nevadas. We didn't want to leave!
A magnificent house, luxury enough and great views. Very cosy with a great open fire. A four-bedroom house that is perfectly comfortable and pleasant for even a five-person family. A lot of beautiful mountainwalks within short range, even next to the house. Beaches within half an hour (the new highway is ready now); restaurants and shopping all in close range. So you're in the centre of everything. Sure we can recommend this house for a perfect stay...!
