Both properties share the main entrance from the street with parking nearby and good access to the house.

In order to safeguard our clients, we have registered both houses as Alojamientos Rurales with the Junto Andalucia in order to receive a licence to rent the properties. This process involved detailed inspection by local government officials with regard to suitability, health & safety, facilities and layout.

Our aim is to support the local economy and infrastructure which means using local suppliers and professional services as well as being compliant with local, fiscal regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (opens a new window)

Melegís Village, Lecrin, Andalucia

Melegís nestles beside the Rio Torrente at an altitude of 500 metres halfway between Granada and the beaches of the Costa Tropical. It is cooler than the coastal regions in the summer and yet frost free in the winter.

Like all local villages, houses are hidden behind plain white walled facades, offering only tantalizing glimpses of courtyards and interiors. In the cool of the evening, families walk the orange groves, children play in the streets and the village comes alive.

Granada and the historic Alhambra palace-citadel (booking essential) is just a 30 minute drive away. There are many more architectural jewels and specialist shops to be found throughout the city and in the old Moorish quarter, the Albaycín.
