About this house rental
Casa Viñas de Vera was lovingly rebuilt from a ruin in 2008, using as much of the original house as possible. including the roof beams and the old front door. Nestling in its own olive and citrus terraces, this beautiful property exudes peace and tranquility, however, being only 1km from the village of Restábal, there are good amenities within easy reach. The large, private pool is perfect for cooling off during the steamy Andalucían summers and the roof terrace affords fabulous views of the Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains beyond. Each season the land offers something different. In springtime you can enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice from the trees in the orchard, almonds are available throughout the autumn months and there is an abundance of lemons all year round. With its thick walls, open fireplace and underfloor heating, the property is cosy and welcoming in winter, too. Three available bedrooms and two bathrooms provide plenty of space for one or two families or a group of friends.
We purchased the ruin and the land in 2005 and spent a number of years planning the rebuild. It was ready to move into in 2009 and we have enjoyed living in, and renting out the property, ever since. There are fantastic walks straight from the property and further afield, with a choice of difficulty levels. Cycling is extremely popular in the Valley and we can put you in touch with a cycle hire company if required. There are several horse riding centres within a short drive.
Our nearest village is Restábal, just 1 km down the road. There is a tapas bar and a good restaurant in the village, a bank, a pharmacy and a general store. Around the rest of the valley there are many other bars and restaurants so there is no chance of going hungry here. The stunning city of Granada, with its world famous Alhambra Palace, is just 30 minutes' drive away and the beaches of the Costa Tropical are the same distance, heading south. In winter, the Sol y Nieve ski resort, the most southerly in Eurpoe, can be reached in under an hour. With a long ski season, running through to April, it really is possible to ski in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon!

As the title says, the house was very much what we imagined. It's really very well equipped, very private and a real hideaway.
The hosts are super-communicative and even helped us out with some supplies as we arrived late due to a flat tyre en-route.
As a village it's quiet & rural as expected. Beautiful views. One night we spotted 10 shooting stars!
I think the place would be really nice in the cooler months too if you're into walks/hiking etc.
We did have one problem with wasps when we were there and my daughter got stung a couple of times. Obviously this is nature and not the fault of the hosts who had tried various things to reduce the issue and I understand it was bad this year due to a wet spring.
It might be worth checking in advance though for the peak summer, especially if you have a very young family as it did prevent us using the pool sometimes.
But overall still 5/5, thanks to the hosts again.
