Cortijo Opazo - Apartment Opazo Jardín offers all you could wish for as a holiday destination in terms of peace, tranquillity and high standard of accommodation. The property is situated in the countryside of the high Alpujarras, close to the villages of Pitres, Portugos and Atalbeitar. Set in three acres of land with an exceptional garden it provides the perfect stress free location for relaxing and unwinding. To the front of Cortijo Opazo the land drops away towards the valley of the Rio Trevelez, then rises steeply to the summits of La Corona and El Lujar; whilst behind us the terrain ascends beyond the local villages to the mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The surrounding ancient terraces are populated by goats or planted with olives, almonds and vegetables. Cortijo Opazo has an delightful garden, full of exotic plants, trees and shrubs seldom found in this area, providing you a freedom of space to enjoy as you please. Walking guides, maps and touring information are supplied to ensure you get the most out of your stay. From the west facing terrace of Cortijo Opazo the entrance to Opazo Jardin leads in to an open plan living accommodation. This is a bright area with a two seater leather sofa, a large dinning table, dining chairs, a bookcase and a log burning stove. There is a small television that receives Spanish channels only but has a CD/DVD player. Games and DVDs also available. The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering, with a good range of crockery and utensils, a full sized oven, a four ring glass ceramic hob, microwave, toaster and kettle. The kitchen is clean a modern, tiled with traditional design ceramics. The bathroom is equipped with a sink, WC, walk in 'wet room' style walk in shower with an Oxygene power shower head. Shelves, hooks, towel rails, mirror and a wall cupboard are fitted. The bedroom has a large double bed (200cm x 150 cm), two bedside tables with reading lights, a wardrobe and additional hanging space. It has a window that faces east and catches the morning sun. Throughout the accommodation the floors have been finished in warm terracota ceramic tiles. There is an underfloor heating system in all areas, the use of which is included in the rental. During most of the year the days are warm enough for t-shirts and light clothing but since the area is mountainous the evenings and early mornings in the cooler months can be chilly and we have found the heating system invaluable. The log burning stove is provided as aa additional cosy luxury, logs can be obtained locally. Opazo Jardin is situated to the garden side of Cortijo Opazo and has a lovely vine covered patio with expansive views out over the valley of the Rio Trevelez and across the summit of La Corona to the mountains of the Contraviesa. The apartment also benefits from a private courtyard patio that enjoys afternoon sunshine. Outdoor tables, chairs and sun-loungers allow guests to take full advantage of this splendid location. The private patio area leads on to the delightful communal garden where there is plenty of space for you to find your own secluded corner. We can supply a cot and a high chairs if reserved in advance. All towels and bedding provided, changed weekly. Wifi available in the apartment, free of charge. Although well equipped for self catering we can provide you with home cooked meals if required (24 hours notice needed). Produce from the vegetable garden and our own chickens is usually available. Opazo Jardin is ideal for a couple. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 377 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34300000/34297000/34296972/2b8858d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sustainable Comfort Studio Apartment in Nature Calm Views huge Garden Salt Pool Andalusien - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=34296972&PinnedHotelID=34296972&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22810000/22809400/22809389/110e0d1c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alpujarras. 500 Year Old Stone House In Whitewashed Hamlet.

The grounds were lovely (even in the shoulder season - Oct / Nov) and we enjoyed petting their two dogs. ##### Gerald P.

Excellent hosts with all the answers to every enquiry. Accommodation was wonderful, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. It met all expectations. Unfortunately we only got to savour their home cooking on our last night. It was exceptionally good. The location was perfect, although we might try their beach resort next time as this area is also lovely. ##### Fiona H. Stayed 13 nights in Mar 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 16 Oct 2013 #### Cortijo Opazo We usually rent a house somewhere quiet to go walking in southern France. Decided to do something different and found Cortijo Opazo on the web.We spent the last two weeks of August in El Lujar and it was wonderful in every way. The Alpujarra area is really beautiful and the walks are stunning. Most days we did a walk - anything from 2 to 6 hours - with the help of easy route maps provided by our hosts. The walks are varied, peaceful, each with its own charm. Our apartment was small, pristine and really comfortable - perfect for couples. Outside, our own private courtyard and garden terrace with lovely views. On five or six occasions we had dinner - interesting. colourful and delicious- prepared and served by our hosts. Speaking of our hosts, they have found a lovely balance of being helpful, charming and discreet. So if you like ancient villages, rural history, high hills, streams and gorges, mountain paths, flora and fauna, peace and quiet, food and drink, relaxation and a bit of adventure - this is the place.........it really was that good. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Aug 2013 #### Safe Haven This is our thrid visit and we were not disappointed. A warm welcome, some of the best cooking in the Alpujarras thanks to Rob and William's wonderful meals which are just too delicious. The standard of accomodation and cleanliness is just as good as when we first came and the garden, even in winter, gets better every time we come. The extra hours of daylight in southern Spain compared the UK make it a perfect winter break and if you are in to walking so much the better. ---
