"...rooms that open on to a courtyard, complete with tinkling fountain and two happy, lolloping dogs. It ticked all my boxes - big beds, airy rooms, tasteful decor, eco-friendly (solar-powered, off-grid, water supplied by natural spring) - with the added bonus of a glorious, uninterrupted view across the valleys of the Alpujarras." - The Guardian

Accommodation during your holiday is in Pure Mountains' beautiful cortijo (farmhouse) within the environmentally-protected Parque Natural de Sierra Nevada. The cortijo is dramatically sited on its own mountainside at an altitude 1,700 metres. From the house there are panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada (highest peak Mulhacén 3,482m), the Mediterranean and the Rif Mountains of Morocco.

The cortijo is registered with the regional tourist board as a casa rural (country lodge), guaranteeing high standards of comfort and safety.

The spacious, light-filled guest rooms open onto a cloistered Moorish patio with a central fountain. Each room has its own bathroom. You can request twin (90cm/3 feet wide) or double beds (180cm/6 feet wide). The beds are firm and very comfortable, with duvets and cotton sheets. Prices are based on two people sharing a room. For more details see Booking & Discounts. The rooms are cleaned daily.

Guests eat in the open-plan sitting / dining room, or on the terrace in warmer months, and relax in the gardens or in the sitting room, which has wonderful views of mountains and sea. In the sitting room there is a magnificent wood burning stove.

The abundant Andalusian sunshine and efficient solar panels ensure that we have a plentiful supply of electricity and more than enough hot water for showering dusty mountain bikers.

We also have a generator for power backup and a boiler for extra hot water and central heating in the winter, in addition to the wood burning stove. Water comes from our own spring.

For guests bringing their own laptops or other devices, we offer free Wi-Fi access.
