In beautiful nature, in a sun-drenched green valley, there is a romantic nature house with a lovely pool filled with water from the mountains. Amidst almond, olive and orange trees and surrounded by mountains. A small river flows past the house. Through a beautiful road you can drive in an hour to Granada with the world famous Alhambra or to the azure Mediterranean Sea. La Alpujarra is a beautiful mountain area with ancient olive trees, meandering rivers, ancient hiking trails and whitewashed villages. Only the sound of birds, running water or a shepherd with flock breaks the silence. The old water mill of Casabayacas is located on an acequia, a stream of water created 500 years ago by the Moors to supply all the farms with water. The water used comes from this stream. Energy comes from solar panels. On the land are citrus trees, olive trees, almond trees, avocado and pomegranate trees, among which chickens roam. Organic eggs and olive oil are for sale.
Nature and surroundings
This is a perfect hiking area. You don't have to drive far for it, you're right in the middle of it. La Alpujarra stretches from the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the Mediterranean Sea. There are rolling valleys, but you'll also find the more rugged mountain landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and whitewashed villages that don't seem to have changed since the Moors. The hiking trails are as varied as the landscape itself. From forest path to ridge to riverbed. They mostly date from distant times (Roman and Moorish times) and are often old trade and connecting paths between the different villages. There are several hiking trails, including the GR-7, and you can climb the Mulhacen, the highest mountain in the Iberian Peninsula (3,479 meters). The pool is filled with water from the mountains. Every two weeks the landlords drain the pool. Through their own constructed irrigation system, they use this to water the trees and plants. Then the pool is scrubbed clean and filled again. They get the drinking water from one of the springs in the area, such as from Lanjaron, whose spring water is sold in bottles throughout Spain.

The cottage is small but nice and everything you need is there. It is stylish and nicely decorated. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and helpful and very nice to interact with. They made us feel incredibly welcome. They are happy to think about activities and otherwise leave you completely free. We will definitely be back.
Het huisje is klein maar fijn en alles wat je nodig hebt, is aanwezig. Het is stijlvol en gezellig aangekleed. De hosts zijn ontzettend gastvrij en behulpzaam en erg leuk in het contact. Ze hebben ons ons ontzettend welkom laten voelen. Ze denken graag mee over activiteiten en laten je verder volledig vrij. Wij komen zeker terug.
The cottage is located in a beautiful valley with views of the mountains, sea and in good weather even the Atlas Mountains. In winter the sun makes it pleasant during the day. When it cools down, you can heat the cottage with home-cut wood. There are several fruit trees on the property, which guests are allowed to pick. From the accommodation you can walk into the mountains along streams and olive trees. There are also several picturesque Spanish villages within a half-hour drive, where you can buy many local and artisan products.
Het huisje ligt in een prachtig dal met uitzicht op de bergen, zee en bij goed weer zelfs het Atlasgebergte. In de winter is het overdag door de zon aangenaam vertoeven. Wanneer het afkoelt, kan je het huisje opwarmen met zelf gehakt hout. Er staan meerdere fruitbomen op het terrein, waar je als gast van mag plukken. Vanuit de accommodatie wandel je zo de bergen in langs beekjes en olijfbomen. Ook zijn er binnen een halfuurtje rijden meerdere pittoreske Spaanse dorpjes, waar je veel lokale en artisanale producten kan kopen.

Wonderfully quiet. A good base to stay as well as a lot to do like visiting Granada, beaches and hiking. Lots of information available. Nice basic but everything is there and nice with a fireplace for cold evenings. A garden full of fruit trees that you can pick. Very sweet owner.
Heerlijk rustig. Een goede uitvalsbasis om te verblijven als ook veel te ondernemen als bezoek aan Granada, stranden en te wandelen. Veel informatie beschikbaar. Lekker basic maar alles is er en lekker met een open haard voor de koude avonden. Een tuin vol fruitbomen waarvan je mag plukken. Hele lieve eigenaresse.
In the middle of the mountains, beautiful surroundings. Very quiet and nice and green. Close to the siera Nevada and a 45 minute drive to beautiful beaches.
Middenin de bergen, prachtige omgeving. Heel rustig en lekker groen. Dichtbij de siera Nevada en een 45 minuten rijden naar mooie strandjes.

We really felt at home thanks to Yvonne, the place was really flawless we could enjoy the pool everyday and the house had really a Soul which is becoming rarer and rarer. We also really enjoyed observing all those insects that we never see in urban areas but also all the fruits trees, we even tasted an orange and a pear directly from the tree.
We really enjoyed this place and we think we will come back one day !We had a wonderful stay in Bayacas! Yvonne is an incredibly kind and welcoming host who made us feel right at home. The accommodation was spotless, very well equipped, and exceeded our expectations in every way. The pool was perfect, just as we had hoped, and the privacy throughout the property was truly respected.
The view is exactly like the photos – absolutely stunning. There's a designated spot to park the car, which was really convenient. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to unwind and disconnect; the only sounds you’ll hear are the river flowing nearby and the soft hum of insects.
Nature lovers will be in heaven here – the property is surrounded by lush vegetation and a variety of fruit trees. It's a peaceful, rejuvenating retreat that we highly recommend.
