Reviews
 30 May 2012 |
Casa Cristina is a beautiful, well-appointed villa in the hills to the north of Almunecar. When we arrived the house was very clean and tidy. Its two bedrooms, kitchen and open-plan living area are very spacious, while the patio, garden and swimming pool have wonderful views of the hills and valley. A car is essential, as the villa is a short distance down a bumpy track, but the village of Otivar is only a short drive away and has a couple of good quality and authentic restaurants and bars. We had such a good time in the early-summer sunshine that we extended our stay by another four nights! |

This villa is simply beautiful, clean and bright and finished to the highest of standards. The pool is a joy to be in and the views down the valley are stunning. The kitchen is the best we have seen in any european villa and the open plan living area works superbly. The position is very peaceful and private and the owners English friends are close by should you need anything at all. A car is an absolute must and you must explore the stunning Sierra Nevada. |
