In Nigüelas there is a path that everyone calls the ‘lovers’ path’: the Paseo de la Pavilla. Trees, water flowing ceaselessly and, as evening falls, the cool air drifting down from the Sierra Nevada. This house stands right at its start, as if guarding the entrance. It has been completely renovated, with care and without haste, whilst respecting its essence. Wood, clay and stone, handcrafted details and light that fills the whole space: the sun streams into almost every room and changes colour throughout the day. Ground floor: the courtyard We are welcomed by a rustic courtyard with a swimming pool, a clay floor and stone features, surrounded by plants and flowers. The perfect spot for your first coffee of the morning or for lingering by the water on summer evenings. On this floor, there is also a room with an en-suite bathroom—ideal as a guest bedroom or a quiet sitting room—and a storage room for all your pool and garden essentials. First floor: the sleeping quarters A lovely staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom and a utility room. Top floor: the heart of the house And upstairs, the best part. Exposed wooden beams, high ceilings and large windows with the Lecrín Valley stretching out beyond the glass. This is where the fully equipped kitchen, the dining room and the living area come together, centred around a large cast-iron stove for winter evenings. There is also a guest toilet. The living room opens onto a spacious terrace, perfect for long meals with friends, romantic dinners for two and sunsets over the mountains.

Fides Home Estate Agents – Lecrín Valley Why the Lecrín Valley? About 25 minutes from Granada and the Alhambra, another 25 minutes from the sea and an hour from the ski slopes of Sierra Nevada. And yet, time passes differently here: white villages nestled amongst thousands of orange and lemon trees, the scent of orange blossom that fills the air in spring, walks alongside rivers and reservoirs, and home-cooked food that tastes just like home. A place to live at a leisurely pace without being far from anything.
