Villa Alegre and Location

Villa Alegre is situated 5 minutes behind the town of Motril with views to the Mediterranean Sea. With space to comfortably accommodate up to 8 people, Villa Alegre is a fantastic getaway for families wanting some fun in the sun. Parents will appreciate the fencing that separates the pool area from the house.

The large swimming pool (8 mtrs x 4 mtrs) and BBQ are located beside the house and patio doors leading from the kitchen/dining area lead directly to the swimming pool and bbq terrace for easy access. Garden and terrace night lighting means the grounds can be enjoyed around the clock. The large shaded front terrace has views to the Mediterranean and surrounding countryside and the grass football pitch directly in front of the house (especially useful if a referee is needed!)

In the house the large, sunny rustic kitchen affords all the amenities, from fridge/freezer to a coffee maker. The comfortable and spacious sitting room is well equipped with CD and DVD players, free-to-air English speaking satellite channels and Spanish TV reception. A working open fireplace adds the perfect cosy touch after a day of skiing, or for taking the chill off of the cooler evenings.

Sunshine streams into the good-sized bedrooms (one with two double beds and two twins), all of which are fitted in country furnishings. The bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor all open onto an attractive landing. One bedroom and one bathroom are located on the ground floor of the house.

Villa Alegre is a five-minute drive from Motril, the largest town on the Costa Tropical de Granada. Here you have access to modern grocery stores, hundreds of authentic eateries and excellent shopping from luxurious to bargain. The fresh food market is open every day except Sunday, and the rastro-style mercadillo comes to town every Tuesday and Friday. This is all five minutes from your holiday home. A car is essential.

Activities abound nearby. Many of our guests have enjoyed horseback riding, offered by a reliable outfit quite close to the villa. Others prefer hiking along many of the suggested routes in the area. Everyone can appreciate Granada, rich in culture and history and undoubtedly the jewel of the province. A mere 50 minutes from the property, home of the famous Alhambra Palace, this gorgeous capital is a must-see. Shopping, culture, history, fiestas, plazas, restaurants, nightlife...Granada has it all. It also is home to the Parque de Ciencias, a new hands-on science museum, which is a joy for visitors of all ages.

Between Villa Alegre and Granada lie the charming Lecrin Valley and Alpujarras villages. Countless pueblos selling traditional crafts and offering mouth-watering hearty fare await your exploration, most within an hour's drive from this villa.

Or spend a day wandering the seaside. Lively Nerja, ever popular with tourists, is half an hour down the coast (those homesick for a Guiness or a curry will find themselves mollified!) Closer by, Almunecar and Salobrena are sizable traditional Mediterranean villages, both well worth a visit.
