A great stay
The well appointed rustic dwelling was ideal and well equipped. The view was fantastic. The host was very friendly and helpful Our only problem was our failure to notice that the pool was shared with the host and his other small letting on the site. This turned out not to be a problem at all.

Better than the pictures!
Excellent hosts, fantastic communication throughout our stay and a very nice welcome and introduction to the house. There is a folder with all the information needed for the house and the surrounding area. We loved going into Orgiva for bread, veggies/fruit, wine, etc (the daily market is awesome!). The bed is super comfortable, kitchen is well equipped (we often cooked at "home"), views are peaceful, lovely and relaxing pool, and we had loads of privacy. Fantastic location for exploring the region, though, some days it was really hard to leave "home." We already miss Antonio and Peppa! (the host's 2 dogs) Hoping to come back for an even longer stay.

Top notch accommodation and wonderful views
This is our third visit to Oliver and Maries fabulous holiday let. We couldn’t recommend it more highly if you want to get away from everything but also be able to walk into Órgiva, easily visit the coast and mountains. Just perfect!

Great base for exploring La Alpujarra
Cortijo El Potro is a nice, well appointed house with access to a lovely saltwater pool. Oliver and Maria are friendly, helpful, and gracious hosts. Orgiva is a great basecamp for cycling, hiking and exploring La Alpujarra. Orgiva is a diverse town with Spanish locals, expats, and a noticeable number of counterculturists. Dining options are a bit limited for long stays, but the kitchen works well for making meals and there are plenty of options for buying groceries. The area has its share of barking dogs, and during our visit, a relatively loud four-day festival; though…that’s Spain. The walk to town is short, but fairly step, especially with an armful of groceries. There are two friendly dogs and cats on the property, which for most people is a plus; however, if one has a cat allergy, this may be an issue as some guests may let the cats come inside.

Cortijo with an amazing view
We have thoroughly enjoyed our winter holidays at the lovely Cortijo el Potro. It is a shame that coronavirus had such an impact this year but we will be back again in 2022 for more winter sunshine.

A special place
We had a really enjoyable winter month in Orgiva (mid-Jan - mid-Feb). It is a good time of year for almond blossom. This was our second winter visit and it didn't disappoint. The views from the Cortijo are amazing - such a pleasure to sit out in the sunshine with a freshly-picked and squeezed orange juice listening to the birds and looking out on the mountains. Most days we were even able to have breakfast outside - a stark contrast to English winter weather. We only had rain on 5 of the 29 days (last visit we had no rain!). The Cortijo was comfortable and, with the aircon heater, log burner or a portable heater available, warm enough in the evenings. The Cortijo is quiet at night and we always slept well. There was plenty of hot water and we had no problems cooking or doing washing. What a luxury to hang washing out on the line late afternoon to dry! It was good to have Oliver and Maria around for advice or any help. Last visit we went to Granada - a doable day trip - except that we pre-booked the Alhambra and stayed two nights. This time, at Oliver's recommendation, we went to Cordoba. It would be a good place to visit at any time of year but there was plenty to see and not too busy in winter. We love walking and did some great walks , including one with Fritz (Oliver's father) above the clouds (!) above Capiliera. There is plenty of walking available and it is easy to download and follow routes. We ate well, with restaurants offering menu del dias for 10-15€ for 3 courses including drink. The highlight, though, has to be just being there - with the sunshine, orange trees, and yellow oxalis flowers set against the green grass and the mountains beyond.

Lovely, peaceful location
Lovely cottage with everything you need for your stay. So peaceful and just a 15 minute walk into the town. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. Quite difficult to find so we ended up calling Oliver who drove into town and we then followed him. The town has various one way systems so easy to get lost! We would recommend eating at Limonera by the BP garage in town. Best meal we had!

Perfect villa in an idyllic setting
We stayed at Cortijo el Potro in the last week of the school summer holidays with our 9 year old twin daughters - and wow, what a fabulous holiday ! Booking was really straight forward and Oliver & Maria were really helpful in all communication ahead of our stay - they even arranged a car hire for us which was much better value than other companies. On arrival Maria was there to show us around the property & we met the friendly dogs - Antonio & Pepa who became daily visitors :) The welcome basket of food & bottle of wine is excellent and, like everything about the property and the holiday, well thought through. The house is beautifully done, very comfortable & cosy, GOOD air conditioning in the main bedroom & downstairs and is well equipped in all areas, especially the kitchen. The beds are super comfortable.. (better than my bed at home!) & we all slept very well. Thoughtful touches throughout, good selection of books in many languages, family games, hairdryer, iron and a comprehensive and good property & local area guide compiled by Oliver & Maria. The views & surrounding scenery are breathtaking & mesmerising, particularly at dawn and dusk. The villa was perfectly located to visit the area so in our 8 days there we managed to see a fair bit. Highly recommend a visit to Granada , not just for the spectacular Alhambra but also for the entire beautiful city. We spent many hours just walking around soaking it all up- highlights were the Albaicín and Sacromonte areas and a highly recommended ice cream from Los Italianos! Other trips to Bubión, Pampaneira & Capileira are a must, but also some of the coastal towns we really enjoyed - Almuñécar was a pleasant surprise after a really fun day at the Aqua Park. We also enjoyed an amazing tapas lunch at Arca de Noé in Lanjarón. We had intended doing some walks/ hiking in the area but it was so hot we just spent the rest of the time relaxing by the lovely pool at the property. We’ll just have to go back again to explore more on foot! Overall a wonderful stay - thank you!

Perfect holiday accommodation
We had an amazing holiday in this lovely property just outside of Oriva. The attractive accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. We spent many hours by the pool enjoying the mountain views and the pool itself delightful. It’s just a 15 minute walk into the small town of Órgiva where there are shops bars and restaurants to enjoy. Oliver is very communicative and there is a good information pack to give ideas on where to visit. Beaches are only 40 mins away and the surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Malanga just 1.5 hours away and Granada 40mins. We will be back as it’s been one of the best holidays we’ve had and there’s so much more to explore.
