Property Details

Casa de Josefa is a traditional but spacious Berber style house just below the picturesque church in Capileira. From its roof terrace there are stunning views across the Poqueira valley, up to the high Sierra mountains, snow-covered for much of the year, down to the Mediterranean coast. Although the many walkers, who use Capileira as their base, contribute to the lively atmosphere of the town, Casa de Josefa nestles in the heart of the friendly local community.
Casa de Josefa has two double bedrooms, each with a double bed; a characterful bathroom with shower, wash basin and wc. The kitchen is large and well equipped with gas oven, washing machine and fridge/freezer. The living room is spacious and beautifully restored, with a chestnut beam ceiling, slate flooring, large open fireplace and TV. A comfortable divan provides additional sleeping accommodation.
There is also a study with stairs leading down to the bedrooms.
French windows and balcony in the lounge overlook the dramatic Poqueira valley. Bed linen and towels are provided.

Local Area Details

Capileira is the highest of the 3 beautiful white-housed towns of the Poqueira valley, dominated by the peak of Mulhacen in the high Sierra. It is a focal point for walking of all grades and, if preferred, a frequent bus service takes visitors high up into the Sierra Nevada National Park.

Capileira and Bubion are unusual in the region in having a number of cafes and restaurants offering some exciting and exotic tastes, as well as more traditional fare of good quality, in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere.
There is plenty of scope for activities in Las Alpujarras, from horse-riding to paragliding, hiking to skiing, while those who like to rest can easily spend a day relaxing in the mountain air at the lovely swimming pool and restaurant at Pitres, about 15 minutes drive from Capileira.
Professionally run courses can be arranged with friends of the owners in paragliding and painting. The paragliding courses are run by Carlos, an experienced English-speaking guide, and include tandem flights for those without any experience. The combination of the benign local weather and topography ensure that most days it is possible to fly.
The painting courses are with Maggy, an English art teacher now living in Capileira. The local scenery and the white houses provide an abundance of subjects to inspire you. There may be opportunities to join in with the local painting group in their excursions into the mountains.
