“A beatiful, quiet place to stay in Sierra Nevada, close to Capileira”
We have had a wonderful week at Casa Rural Carifalarga! It is a most amazing place to stay, situated just above Capileira. With beatiful views, on a clear day all across the Mediterranean, quiet and tranquil, it is a perfect place to stay wether you want to go hiking in Sierra Nevada as we did, or jiust explore the several beatiful nearby villages. The rooms are nice, with a rustic touch, we had a wonderful terrace.The homemade breakfasts.was our favorites, as was also a swim in the pool returning from long hikes. The only "noise" was birds singing! The hospitality and friendlyness of the owners, Enrique and Anna certainly made our stay specially nice. Short way down to several restaurants in Capileira the nights we did not enjoy the tasty, several course honemade dinner from their kitchen.

“A beautifully rustic and romantic mountain retreat with the most stunning views where we enjoyed celebrating my upcoming”
The property was absolutely beautiful, rustic and quirky and our lovely room also had a large terrace, which had the most stunning mountain and sea views in the far distance! You could even see Morocco on a clear day just before sunset. The hosts, Enrique & Anna were absolutely charming and such talented chefs! The breakfasts were all homemade and delicious, especially the home baked bread and the delicious variety of homemade jams. The 4 course evening meal, freshly prepared was exceptional with exquisite flavours. We had the Prawn and Octopus Risotto, which Enrique cooked to perfection, (no surprise coming from Valencia!) The mountain villages of the Alpujarra are all beautiful, perched high on the mountain cliffs and lovely to visit and wander around and there are also some incredible mountain walks in the area. We loved our stay here and normally stay in 5 star hotels in cities in Europe or in the Paradores in Spain but can recommend this beautiful property just as highly!! Thank you so much Enrique & Anna - you are both wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you!!

Lovely staff who were very attentive and prepared a light but delicious breakfast. Location is beautiful but be prepared for the walk up the hill (approx 8mins walk from the main road which goes through Capileira - unless you're in a car).

We had a room with a terrace, the mountain view was just spectacular. Dinner which was made specially for us was 1000+ out of 10. Delicious breakfast from local products. Close to Capileira town and hiking distances up on the mountains. If you are booking magical stay there, be prepared of the roads, but it’s totally worth it!

“Idyllic mountain retreat”
Serenity, vista, clarity of air, cool Fresh mountain water, breakfasts with homemade jams and breads, amazing 4 course dinner ( not offered every night), warm and friendly reception by Annie and Enrique for whom nothing was too much trouble, including for our dog. This was the more so when we learned that sadly they lost their own dog just a month ago.
