Enjoy the cultural experience of an Andalucian village, whilst having the peace and quiet of a rural retreat if you so wish.
In 2003 we embarked in the restoration of a 700 year old Moorish ruin, today we offer it to the world to bring joy, peace and learning.
The house is ideal to host a retreat or a gathering with your family and friends.
About the house
It is at the front of the charming village of Atalbeitar, a stone’s throw from the majestic Sierra Nevada National Park.
Surrounded by breathtaking wilderness and towering peaks, our location is a haven for nature enthusiasts, artists, and adventurers alike.
Experience its rustic charm where traditional craftsmanship meets modern luxury. We are both artists and have poured our creativity into every corner, with chestnut beams, thick stone walls, original art , antiques and found treasures. We think it has a timeless allure.

The house is ideal to host a retreat or a gathering with your family and friends, and depending on the size of your group you can rent it as Casa Almelara, Casa Aloe or Casa Carmela.
