*** Outside the house are five south-facing garden terraces, linked by stone steps and paths, and a secluded walled garden on the west side of the house. All have seating areas and flower beds and offer spectacular views of the mountains and the Trevelez river gorge. 
 
The Alpujarras is a stunningly beautiful mountain area on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. It is situated 75 minutes drive south from Granada, and the same distance north from the Mediterranean sea. The area is famous for its white villages clinging precariously to the mountainsides, for its Moorish history, and for its enormous variety of flora and fauna. The area has one of the best climates in Europe and is perfect to visit at any time of year. 
 
Activities: At Casa Ana you can relax and unwind in these peaceful and beautiful surroundings, bask in the sun, read a good book or listen to goat bells and the murmur of the river below the house.  
At the house we also offer therapeutic body treatments. 
 
You can go walking, horseriding or mountain biking along the miles and miles of paths that criss-cross the Alpujarras. The area is ideal for painting, photography, butterfly- or bird-watching and many other activities. 
 
You can explore the picturesque local villages with their craft shops, bars and restaurants, steeped in ancient Moorish culture and history. The historic city of Granada with its fabled Alhambra palace and Arab baths is just over an hour’s drive away, and for a day of swimming and basking in the sun the nearest Mediterranean beaches are only 70 minutes drive. The nearest golf course is at Salobrena – also only 70 minutes drive. From November to April the Sierra Nevada mountain ski station is open, a couple of hours away. 
 
Casa Ana is located on the edge of the tiny hamlet of Ferreirola, one of the prettiest and most unspoilt of the Alpujarra white villages. Getting there is straightforward: Granada and Malaga airports are within easy reach, and the road is good.
