The villa offers a spectacular vantage over the Lecrín Valley and unforgettable mountain and valley views. Set in four acres of private land, only 2km (1.25 miles) from village’s amenities, the villa has four bedrooms (sleeping 8) and 3 bathrooms, an infinity pool (10m x 5m), and several outdoor areas for dining and lounging. Thanks to the valley’s unique microclimate and the villa’s full central heating, this hilltop retreat is an ideal spot for summer vacations, while equally suited to winter breaks and springtime walking holidays. And, as the name suggests, exquisite sunrises and sunsets are as good as guaranteed. A region to explore … or stay closer to home From its vantage point a couple of kilometres above the three rural villages that form El Valle below, Cortijo Alba Rosa provides the perfect base from which to explore. The sandy beaches of the pre-Roman fortress towns of Almuñécar and Salobreña on the Costa Tropical, and the World Heritage Site of the Alhambra in Granada are reached in under 30 minutes. The magnificent countryside, spas and mountain treks of Las Alpujarras are on your doorstep, and the acclaimed coves of Nerja and ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada are easily reached within an hour. However, if this all sounds too taxing, you can always enjoy a long lunch under the villa’s wisteria-covered pergola, lounge by the 10m x 5m infinity pool, or explore the extensive grounds, where you can pick seasonal fruit from the farm’s olive, lemon, orange, fig and pomegranate trees. With an award-winning vineyard and restaurant at the top of your street, sometimes staying nearby is the better option! Cortijo Alba Rosa – a magical paradise As you walk to the front of the property, you’ll spot the summer house set among the farmhouse’s tranquil arid and tropical gardens. With its own kitchenette and incredible views of the valley, it’s perfect for a special dinner, or just to unwind with a book or cheeky sundowner. Continue on to enter the house through its impressive north-facing Moorish door, set in its own courtyard, into the living room. Set all on one level, the villa is ideal for families with young children and people with restricted mobility. However, you’ll still get all the privacy and peace you’ll need for a good night’s sleep, as the bedrooms are separated from the living and dining areas. The villa’s east wing houses a well-equipped kitchen with marble worktops, a dining room with family-sized table and fireplace. The utility room is tucked behind the kitchen and offers side access to the property, where you can find fresh herbs alongside a wood store. Upon entering the living room, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the 4m tall full-length windows for year-round enjoyment of the views across the surrounding countryside from two facing sofas. The vaulted, double height ceiling is traditionally made with local wooden beams. This old Andalusian trick helps keep the villa cool in the summer, while the full central heating ensures it doesn’t get cold in winter. The west wing is where you’ll find the north and south-facing double bedrooms and their respective ensuite bathrooms. Two further bedrooms (one double, one twin) are accessed through double doors into a cleverly hidden connecting corridor, and they share the third bathroom. These rooms offer a more private space, making them ideal for people with young children or those who desire greater privacy or peace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans, ideal for the warmer months of the year. The villa is secluded and private in a privileged position on the hillside. After turning from the road you travel under couple of kilometres (a mile) down what was once the road between Granada and the Costa Tropical. Today it is a well maintained lane used by the local olive farmers. This is authentic, unspoiled Andalusian living at its best. The villa’s drinking water supply comes from its own natural spring, and with a powerful solar energy system, you can experience true off-grid living. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 private bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Free firewood - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Gym - Snow sports gear - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Local artist showcase - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 2,691 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Interior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/540000/530700/530700/625270ff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alhambra Palace Hotel Granada City Center - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning - Breakfast available 9.4 Exceptional 1,002 reviews £291 includes taxes & fees 29 Apr - 30 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-29&endDate=2026-04-30&selected=530700&PinnedHotelID=530700&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=34466564&PinnedHotelID=34466564&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=34466564,530700) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Start the dishwasher Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish Turn off the lights and lock the doors Please leave the keys in the mirrored tray close to the front door.

We had a perfect holiday at Cortijo Alba Rosa! The house was lovely and comfortable and the infinity pool spectacular. The views from the house were amazing too and we enjoyed day trips to Granada, the beach and the nearby reservoir for paddleboarding and swimming. Matthew, our host, and Anne and Martin, were all extremely helpful and responsive. We're already planning to go again! ##### Wendy F. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew G. 20 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had the most wonderful holiday in this stunning villa, in what we found to be a great part of Andalucia, conveniently located to visit Granada, the coast and the Alpujarras mountains. The views over the valley from the terrace and from the lovely pool are amazing and the gardens are beautifully landscaped and well cared for. The area is so quiet and peaceful, and watching the sunrises and sunsets was a joy in itself.Inside the property is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Really helpfully and thoughtfully, the hosts provide the everyday basics that are so helpful (cleaning products, herbs and spices, coffee, tea and sugar etc).The hosts and the local property managers were also really helpful and responsive to communications. Overall, we have stayed on many villas over the years, but this villa was the best we have ever had the pleasure to experience. ##### Matthew G.

The house was great and a marvelous view! It has all the commodities required. Yes the place is warm, that is what you expect to Andalusia but given the location, the wind made it pleasant. Location is great in between Granada and the sea side, it allows to visit very conveniently both, not to mention the proximity of Sierra Nevada escape road starting just 20 minutes away from the house. Great communication was in place from the booking up to departure with Matthew the host and Jen who is doing the local coordination. Definitely a place to go back! ##### Antonin W.

Besides the amazing location, close to granada city and the beach, the home was perfect. There are so many facilities that it feels like a family home instead of a rental. Also, the communication is super clear and kind. These are good peope and would definetly book again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor C. 5 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning location Superb villa in a stunning location, beautifully appointed with everything you could want.

My husband and I just returned from spending the month of May in Cortijo Alba Rosa and loved every minute. This is a magnificent property! The view, gardens and surroundings are spectacular and the house is lovely, comfortable and well equipped. It is also very dog friendly. The pictures and video are quite accurate but the feeling once you are there is even better!The owner was very helpful before and during our stay and the house manager couldn't have been more caring while we were there. The location is secluded but within a half hour or so to Granada, the mountains and the sea. You do have to be comfortable driving on steep, narrow roads but assuming you are a confident driver (kudos to my husband), this is the perfect retreat in Southern Spain. We miss it already. ##### Andrew L. Stayed 30 nights in May 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert P. 14 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical We did have a great stay in the villa. Stunning views, great location and a really comfortable villa. All of the eco stuff worked perfectly - for the last 3 days there were 6 of us no problems at all. The fence worked perfectly for the spaniels too. The bakery in Restabal is excellent. We loved it. The 30+ degree weather also helped of course! It was a magical stay. Suggestion: The route up from Restabal is quite something in a small car (the price you pay for such a stunning location...) however, the route from the top road down to the villa, although steep, is a lot friendlier if you’re concerned about your car. Thank you. ##### Robert P.

The instructions for accessing the property and living and maintaining the house were thorough. The house was well suited for a stay of three generations (eight people).

The villa is stunning with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is particularly well stocked. The swimming pool was fantastic for the kids. We had Culture in Grenada just 30 minutes away. The Alhambra is a must, and the gypsy flamenco dancing in traditional caves should not be missed. The seaside is also only 35 minutes away. The traditional white Spanish seaside towns were beautiful and the restaurants were great. But I liked the villa best. Walking in the lemon groves and picking fresh lemons was a highlight. The views could not be bettered and there were fantastic walks down the mountains to the local village. Go to Las Naranjas, the food is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your home Matthew, we had. A great time. ##### Justine M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ---
