Beautiful Villa and grounds
We had an excellent stay in Capellania. The villa is full of character with interesting art work. It’s spacious and well appointed, set in a peaceful area yet just a short walk into town. We really enjoyed the grounds with many places to sit depending on whether you want sun or shade, the poolside was a nice sun trap and the upstairs terrace was a great place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink looking over Órgiva and the surrounding countryside. When we were there in late October there were ripe oranges and avocados in the trees which was a lovely treat.

Enjoyed a fantastic holiday in this beautiful villa. Plenty of space and very well equipped. Although pleasantly secluded it is just a short walk to the town where there are good supermarkets and some excellent restaurants. Recommend a trip to Granada and the ‘white villages’. Easy drive from Malaga airport. We’ll be back!

Wonderful Villa in a Stunning Location
We had a relaxing holiday in this well maintained, superbly kept property. The fruit trees surrounding the house were a delightful sight each day (the freshly picked apricots for breakfast unforgettable), as was the view towards town and the Sierra Nevada mountains. A short 10 minute walk to the lovely town of Orgiva was handy, and the villa location was excellent for visiting the mountain villages and other towns. The weather was fantastic every day to swim in the lovely pool. We adored the holiday/location/villa so much, we are already planning to return. Anda and her team were great hosts, regulary on site and easily contactable when needed.

Radiateur petite salle de bain fait disjoncter le compteur donc inutilisable. Présence du jardinier dès le matin sans que nous soyons prevenus. Les chiens du voisins aboient très souvent et tres fort nuit et jours. Pas de notices pour l'électroménager. Utilisation des consignes tv très complexes. Simon Maison superbe et terrasses geniales

Relaxation with superb views
Capellaria is a very big villa in a quiet area but only 5 mins easy walk to town. We went each day for fresh bread and provisions and of course a coffee whilst watching the world pass us by. We ate out lunchtime most days and particularly liked Baraka, El Limonero and Meson El Viejo Molino(our fav). Free tapas with each round of drinks with such variety. The meal of the day was always well cooked and presented, excellent value for 3 courses. Plenty of choice for provisions in supermarkets and local shops for fresh fruit and meat. We drove around to some of the local villages, Lanjaron, Pampaneira and Salobrena down on the coast. Plenty of chiringuitos to choose from cooking fresh fish, the sardines were fab at Casa Emilo, lunch with a sea view, bliss. The Alhambra palaces were well worth seeing, pleased we booked early tickets as it was cooler and less busy. The facilities at the villa are great, plenty of areas to sit out depending on the heat of the day, but always somewhere in the shade. We loved sitting on the large upstairs balcony for breakfast and again eating tea admiring the wonderful views and watching the sunsets, birds and bats. The pool was great and a big bonus to cool down in, even much later when lit up too. Great not having to pack pool towels as they are provided. We had a really relaxing stay and loved this quieter area of Andalucia. Thanks to Anda and Carmen

Orgiva villa
Communications were good. Journey to villa is straightforward. Was met promptly in town and then escorted to villa. Villa was a very good size. Lots of different outside areas with lots of room. No where is over looked and is very private. Short walk into town, everything thing you need is there. Some nice restaurants and bars. Cheap fruit and veg from the market. Really nice views made it feel more rural than it was. Would recommend to any one and go back.

Fabulous!
We had two fantastic weeks staying here! The house is large as are the gardens, with plenty of different areas to sit and eat outside in the evening. The pool is a good size and the views from the pool and roof terrace are stunning. It is just a 5 to 10 min stroll into Orgiva with a good selection of bars and restaurants and only 20 drive mins to some lovely mountain villages for a nice lunch with a view. Unfortunately I needed to work a little, so pleased to find good wifi coverage and speed around the house and garden.

Beautiful villa in a great location
This is a beautiful villa in a great location. We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The villa is laid out perfectly with plenty of space and has everything you could need. We enjoyed sitting on the roof terrace and watching the bats in the evening. We also loved having fruit trees in the garden with oranges, lemons and avocados to pick. It is only a 5 minute walk down into Orgiva where there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. We went out to the bakery everyday for fresh bread. This is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday, we would recommend this to everyone.

Wonderful garden sanctuary
Great kitchen and outside space that we all enjoyed. The rest of the house was a little too large for space heaters in the winter. Bring some DVDs if you want entertainment. Some games and loads of books provided and of course, table tennis. Orgiva is a good central location to explore this pretty area of Spain.

We have just returned from a glorious 2 week break at this wonderful villa. The photos do not do this place justice.......it is wonderful. There is everything you need in this very comfortable villa and only a short stroll from the lovely village of Orgiva where there are some fantastic tapas bars to try. The Thursday market is worth a look, excellent value shoes and fresh fruit and veg. We were staying during the recent heatwave and the pool was a god send. An absolute gem!

Amazing family holiday
We had the most wonderful two week holiday at Capellania. The house is beautiful with a gorgeous pool, incredible gardens and was equipped with everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean, and the owner and housekeeper ensured the place was completely COVID safe. We loved picking lemons and limes from the trees, and colourful flowers make the outside areas really special! The location is the best we’ve stayed in this area - a very short walk into town for dinners and lunches al fresco. So many good options that are all family friendly (we were with our 9 and 7 year old!). Many lovely bars and cafes for a coffee or glass of wine. Galindos bakery earns a special mention for being spectacular! We really didn’t want to leave and would go back in a heartbeat.

An enchanting villa
Perhaps the most exotic and amazing villa we've ever rented. You won't be disappointed in the decor, the gardens, the fruit trees, and the views out over the Sierra Nevadas. The owner's interest and care for authentic Moorish detail made this property a delight. She dropped in on us twice and brought a bottle of wine and a new moka when she learned the one in the house was inoperable. The photos on the website don't do it justice. If you're exploring Andalusia and can't get enough of the beautiful arches and fountains and tiles, your vacation will be complete by staying here to wind down after exploring the cities.

Our week in Orgiva - July 2019
We arrived on the day of the Orgiva music festival and in the evening sat on the roof terrace listening to the music from the town below. The house perfectly matched the description provided and we (2 adults + 2 teenagers) had a lovely week - by the pool, walking through the fruit trees in the garden and into town post siesta, visiting the Alhambra (nb. remember to take your passports with you) going to the weekly market and the beach at Salobreña. We spent most evenings sitting on the roof terrace enjoying the wonderful views of the hillsides and local town and villages. We would highly recommend the house and hope to return.

Fantastic
We had a wonderful week at this fantastic property. It has so much going for it. Probably the biggest thing is the location - a short walk to the village (and the wonderful Baraka cafe/restaurant), incredible views from the terrace and yet completely secluded. It was great to have a private pool, not overlooked in any way, where we could relax. We visited in 'orange season' and loved wandering down the garden to pick an orange for breakfast each day. Anda and Carmen were both so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

What a place!
What everyone else says is absolutely true - lovely villa in a great location near a nice town with excellent restaurants. The villa is on a quiet lane about 8 minutes walk from the church (thus the middle of town); it's tarmac to the gate of the secure parking area. Lovely pool area, great terrace(s) and bags of fun listening to the fruit drop off the trees into the undergrowth. Best pool lounger cushions ever - much trouble staying awake! The villa's great inside not that we spent all that much time there one way or another. The master bedroom was cool at night through using air conditioning in the evening then opening the windows when we went to bed. Wifi's reliable and quicker than the service we get in rural Norfolk :-) Orgiva's got enough to keep you amused. And, as my wife said, it's the only town we've been to that smells of oranges - go through the Plaza de la Alpujarra after a breezy afternoon and you'll get it. Sundry bars although the Meson El Viejo Molino gets a special mention for the warmth of the welcome, the free tapas and the outside seating area without immediate passing traffic. Similarly, the Pizzeria Almazar is worth a visit for generous portions and nice thin pizzas. Carmen (the on-site manager) was lovely, explained everything well and then left us to it making sure we understood she was a phone call away if needed. She wasn't required but it was nice to know she was available. Similarly, Anda took care of us well prior to arrival making sure we had the right information for a smooth arrival after a simple booking process. We're only prevented from returning in September as it's booked when we'd like to go. I'm told I'm going to be more efficient next year..........
