Casa Larga sleeps 5 adults and 2 children; Larguita next door sleeps 4 adults and 2 children. Casa Larga is an extensive house with a large walled garden and a pool. Larguita is a smaller, intriguing house with a courtyard. They are located in the quiet village of Melegís in the Lecrin Valley, halfway between Granada and the Costa Tropical.

The Casa Larga pool is 1.4 meters deep all over, with access via large curved steps; as the pool is not fenced, small children will need supervision while playing outside.

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.
