Nature house in Cañar
Andalusia, Spain
- 6 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
Welcome to Cañar, the balcony of La Alpujarra. In clear weather you can see Africa (the Rif mountains in Morocco) hence the village's Mirador de Africa. The cottage is located on the outskirts of the village on the GR7 hiking trail between Lanjaron (the wellness and water city) and Soportujar. Our cottage has all modern amenities, kitchenware and the estate has olive trees, fig trees,.... You may pick and eat, of course! In spring the grounds are full of flowers. We have a reservoir where you can swim in the spring water that is refreshed every 5 days. The water enters our basin through the irrigation canals built by the Moors over a thousand years ago (UNESCO World Heritage Site). You cannot get to the cottage by car, but you can always park for free in one of the two parking lots in the village. From the village it is an 8-minute walk to the cottage. Since no cars can reach the house, the nature house is an oasis of peace and quiet.
Nature and surroundings
You are in the middle of nature literally on a hiking trail (at 1100 meters altitude: cooler nights!) and so can hike or bike to your heart's content. La Alpujarra is traditional, open and free. Its inhabitants are a mix of locals and natives from different countries. The closest town (5000 inhabitants) is Orgiva and has more than 80 nationalities. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or omnivore, you can find everything here. There are a lot of spiritual communities in the area and besides excursions in nature, visits to the white villages around (e.g. the cute Pampaneira!), you can also visit a Tibetan monastery. Granada and the Alhambra are an hour away, and the coastal villages can also be found less than an hour away. Malaga, in turn, is an hour and a half away. In the village itself there is the cozy Bar Piki and Restaurant Los Angeles. Enjoy the silence, the views, the birds, the trees, the mountains, the village and its open and relaxed inhabitants.

Without a doubt already the most beautiful nature house we have ever stayed in! You can take a beautiful walk from the cottage to a waterfall (GR7 route). We really enjoyed our stay here enormously. The communication with the landlord was also very smooth and pleasant. We are looking forward to going back one day! Small point: be prepared to park your car in a parking lot in the village. It is a short walk (about 10 minutes), but fairly steep uphill. Provide good walking shoes and not too much luggage. :) In the cottage there was a trolley cart for groceries, this was very convenient.
Zonder twijfel al het mooiste natuurhuisje waar we ooit verbleven zijn! Je kan vanuit het huisje een prachtige wandeling maken naar een waterval (GR7 route). We hebben hier echt enorm genoten. De communicatie met de verhuurder verliep ook zeer vlot en aangenaam. We kijken er naar uit terug om een keer terug te gaan! Klein puntje: bereid je voor dat je de wagen op een parkeerplaats in het dorp moet parkeren. Het is een stukje wandelen (een kleine 10 minuten), maar wel redelijk steil bergop. Voorzie goede wandelschoenen en niet teveel bagage. :) In het huisje stond een trolley karretje voor boodschappen, dit was zeer handig.
Beautifully located nature house with phenomenal views of the mountains, the sea and the beautiful mountain village of Canar. Inside it was very clean and nicely decorated with fireplace and well-equipped kitchen. There are several nice places where you can sit outside. The covered terrace is also very cozy.
Prachtig gelegen natuurhuisje met fenomenaal uitzicht over de bergen, de zee en het mooie bergdorpje Canar. Vanbinnen was het heel proper en mooi ingericht met open haard en goed ingerichte keuken. Er zijn verschillende leuke plekjes waar je kan buiten zitten. Het overdekte terras is ook heel gezellig ingericht.

The cottage has a great asset: it is a 10-minute walk from a remote village. The cottage itself is not accessible by car. This is nice because it is super quiet. Only it is not always easy to get luggage or groceries to the cottage.
Het huisje heeft een grote troef: het ligt op 10 minuutjes stappen van een afgelegen dorpje. Het huisje zelf is niet bereikbaar met de auto. Dat is fijn, want het is er superrustig. Alleen is het niet altijd gemakkelijk om bagage of boodschappen tot bij het huisje te krijgen.
a beautiful cottage, equipped with all facilities, located in a beautiful place. we stayed there for a week and loved it!
een prachtig huisje, voorzien van alle faciliteiten, gelegen op een schitterende plaats. we verbleven er een week en vonden het fantastisch!

Super nice and fine days had in a nice cottage in a beautiful place! Very nicely located just outside the village.
Super mooie en fijne dagen gehad in een fijn huisje op een schitterende plek! Heel mooi gelegen net buiten het dorp.
Had wonderful days! Enjoyed grandiose views and beautiful surroundings, lots of hiking. Very nice cottage, the evenings were chilly but made warm and cozy by lighting the fireplace. Only point of attention is that the fuses often blow with using too many appliances at the same time (especially with cooking).
Heerlijk dagen gehad! Genoten van een grandioos uitzicht en prachtige omgeving, veel gewandeld. Heel fijn huisje, de avonden waren fris maar warm en gezellig gemaakt door de haard aan te steken. Enige puntje van aandacht is dat de stoppen vaak doorslaan met het tegelijk gebruiken van teveel apparaten (vooral met koken).
