The property is situated in the countryside of the high Alpujarras, close to the villages of Pitres, Portugos and Atalbeitar. Set in three acres of land with an exceptional garden it provides the perfect stress free location for relaxing and unwinding. To the front of Cortijo Opazo the land drops away towards the valley of the Rio Trevelez, then rises steeply to the summits of La Corona and El Lujar; whilst behind us the terrain ascends beyond the local villages to the mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The surrounding ancient terraces are populated by goats or planted with olives, almonds and vegetables. Cortijo Opazo has an delightful garden, full of exotic plants, trees and shrubs seldom found in this area, providing you a freedom of space to enjoy as you please. Walking guides, maps and touring information are supplied to ensure you get the most out of your stay. We have two holiday apartments to rent here, Opazo Vista and Opazo Jardin (see separate listing for Opazo Jardin). Both are situated on the ground floor of the house, they have separate entrances and their own outdoor spaces and are completely independent of each other . Both have access to the larger well developed garden. From the south facing verandah of Cortijo Opazo the entrance to Opazo Jardin leads in to an open plan living accommodation. This is a spacious area with a three seater leather sofa, two arm chairs, a large dinning table, four dining chairs, a well stocked bookcase and a log burning stove. There is a small television that receives Spanish channels only but has a CD/DVD player. Games and DVDs also available. The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering, with a good range of crockery and utensils, a full sized oven, a four ring glass ceramic hob, microwave, toaster and kettle. The kitchen is clean a modern, tiled with traditional design ceramics. From the kitchen there is a small passage leading to the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom is equipped with a sink, WC, walk in 'wet room' style walk in shower with an Oxygene power shower head. Shelves, hooks, towel rails, mirror and a wall cupboard are fitted. The bedroom has a large double bed (200cm x 150 cm), two bedside tables with reading lights, a wardrobe and additional hanging space. This is a light and airy room with views south across the valley and east towards the rising sun. Throughout the accommodation the floors have been finished in warm terracota ceramic tiles. There is an underfloor heating system in all areas, the use of which is included in the rental. During much of the year the days are warm enough for t-shirts and light clothing but since the area is mountainous the evenings and early mornings in the cooler months can be chilly and we have found the heating system invaluable. The log burning stove is provided as an additional cosy luxury, logs can be obtained locally. Opazo Vista is situated to the front of Cortijo Opazo and has a glorious south facing covered verandah (known locally as a tinao) with expansive views out over the valley of the Rio Trevelez and across the summit of La Corona to the mountains of the Contraviesa. To one side of the verandah there is an open patio for your exclusive use which enjoys sun all day long. Outdoor tables, chairs and sun-loungers allow guests to take full advantage of this splendid location. The private patio area leads on to the delightful communal garden where there is plenty of space for you to find your own secluded corner. We can supply a cot and a high chairs if reserved in advance. A portable bed suitable for a child can also be placed in the living room. All towels and bedding provided, changed weekly. Wifi available in the apartment, free of charge. Although well equipped for self catering we can provide you with home cooked meals if required (24 hours notice needed). Produce from the vegetable garden and our own chickens is usually available. Opazo Vista is ideal for a couple. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 484 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39140000/39135600/39135571/baafad8b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rent cozy apartment Nivar - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=39135571&PinnedHotelID=39135571&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19860000/19859900/19859852/5679a7d7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Double Ensuite Room in a Cosy Guesthouse in a Small Village Quentar (Granada) - Pool - Free WiFi - Parking available - Laundry 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews CA $78 CA $107 total includes taxes & fees Feb 17 - Feb 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-17&endDate=2026-02-18&selected=19859852&PinnedHotelID=19859852&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22810000/22809400/22809389/110e0d1c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alpujarras. 500 Year Old Stone House In Whitewashed Hamlet.

Nov 18, 2018 #### Great accommodation in this fabulous location Robert and William are perfect hosts. We really enjoyed our stay at Cotijo Opazo, the accommodation was first class and the views are to die for. There are great walks from the door step and surrounding area and the guides provided by Robert and William helped us make the most of our stay. We would recommend a stay here for anyone wanting a taste of life in the high Alpujarras and hope to return in the future. ##### David H.

Dear Robert and William, we had a great time at cortijo opazo in august this year! Your house, your garden, the landscape and a lot of hiking routes made our holidays perfect. We have really enjoyed our stay at your house and will recommend it to everybody, who wants to avoid mass tourism, likes the mountains and is able to keep themselves entertained. Greetings from cologne, Eva and Martin ##### Eva H. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Helena B. Sep 25, 2016 #### Exceptional views and very relaxing We had a lovely week staying at Cortijo Opazo, the property was clean and comfortable with everything we needed in the kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the private terrace where many hours were spent eating, drinking and reading. The gardens were a joy to wander around and we felt very well looked after by the owners. We were particularly grateful to the walking routes that were provided as they took us confidently into the mountains which we enjoyed. We were travelling by motorbike which added an element of excitement as the roads were spectacular to travel on! A great base for exploring the Alpujarras . ##### Helena B.

Sep 11, 2016 #### Lovely stay Up high in the mountain, the cottage was very comfortable with some very beautiful sceneries. The property has an amazing garden too. Robert offered us a welcome drink and attended to our stay whenever we had any queries. The recommendations for the local restaurants was also very useful. We loved the occasional visits from the two little dogs! ( very well behaved and they won't enter the house if you don't encourage them). I am glad that I found this quaint cottage. Will return again. ##### Kavita B.

The apartment was nicely laid out and equipped (with a varied and interesting selection of books); the shaded terrace allowed for out-door living, the garden was a lovely addition - places to sit and read, or have a drink; and the setting was perfect - just the sound of sheep and goats (and sheepdogs sometimes!) and very few cars passing. Robert and William are gracious hosts who made sure that everything was going to be right for us - and also great cooks.... We will for sure be back. ##### Hilary R.

Apr 6, 2015 #### Delightful base for hiking in Alpujarra Have recently stayed in this warm and cosy apartment in Cortijo Opazo. We so enjoyed our stay; when weather was cold outside we were really comfortable within and when the sun shone, the view from our terrace was unequalled. Hikes, using literature prepared by our hosts William and Robert, were quite superb and took us on routes other guides did not include, and so it proved to be an excellent centre. The real bonus for us was to find fan-lipped orchids in the paddock area - what a joy, and the meet and greeters, Ella and Oska, made us feel really at home. ##### Carol W. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura C. Oct 26, 2013 #### Wonderful week! We enjoyed a wonderful week at Cortijo Opazo in mid-September. The setting could not be more beautiful and peaceful. Our apartment was comfortable, well stocked and very tastefully decorated. We enjoyed two dinners prepared by William and wish we had planned to have more - great food and excellently prepared; guests should definitely plan to eat some meals right there on the patio. The hiking guides that William and Robert have prepared are excellent with essential details that will help even the worse navigator find their way. We highly recommend a stay at Cortijo Opazo and hope to return for another visit in the future. ##### Laura C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 28, 2013 #### Paradise Found We loved absolutely everything about Cortijo Opazo.... Set on a hillside with dramatic views of the beautiful mountains opposite, we woke to the sound of running water and the bells of the goat herd grazing below and wonderful vistas of the spectacular garden that William and Robert have created. Our accommodation was neat, immaculately clean and the attention to detail second to none. From the hairdryer and the lavender bags in the bedroom drawers, the large bookcase stuffed with interesting books, board games and a pair of binoculars to a brilliant and comprehensive 'House Book' detailing places to visit and restaurants to dine in. Our fridge was filled with welcoming comestibles and cold drinks and the guys made every effort to make us feel at home. We won't ever forget the morning coffees on our private terrace festooned with grapes, the gigantic blooms of the agapanthus and the leaning spires of hollyhocks set against the majestic backdrop of the EL Lujar and La Corona mountains... nor watching the brilliant stars in a midnight sky above a silent valley. Robert and William are perfect hosts... Discrete yet to hand when we needed any information on the area, they have achieved the impossible... Seven hundred years on from the creation of the Generalife at the Alhambra, the province of Andalucia has another paradise garden awakening in its midst. Thank you This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 18, 2013 #### Rural Spain High up in the mountains you will still find rural Spain. A love of mountain scenery, flowers, birds, animals, walking and/or just relaxing, should be high on your list of things you enjoy most, to benefit fully from your stay at Cortijo Opazo. Robert and William are excellent hosts; the accommodation is outstanding and their home cooking is "to die for"!! The information they provide for you during your stay is extensive; a good way to encourage you to get to know the area and the many different walks too. You will soon begin to feel very much a part of the local scene and won't want to leave!! There are good local supermarket facilities if you enjoy cooking and some interesting local restaurants and bars that must be tried!! We never want to leave after our stay and we are returning again this September for the eighth time in five years!! That should say it all . . .
