Cortijo Sol y Olivo spacious apartment with private pool

Welcome to Cortijo Sol y Olivo

Your Private Hillside Retreat in La Viña, Algarinejo, Andalusia
If privacy, peace and true relaxation are what you are looking for, Cortijo Sol y Olivo is your perfect escape.

Set within its own olive grove high above the beautiful rural town of Algarinejo, this well-designed, stone-built one-bedroom cottage offers complete seclusion for two guests. The entire property is exclusively yours. No shared areas, no other guests on site, no interruptions. Just space, silence, and the rhythm of the Andalusian countryside.

Here, life slows down beautifully.

Surrounded by rolling olive groves with panoramic views stretching towards the Sierra de Loja and Sierra Nevada mountains, the cortijo blends authentic rural charm with modern comfort.

Located just 50 minutes from Granada Airport and approximately 1 hour 20 minutes from Málaga Airport, it is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of Andalusia. From here you can easily visit Granada, Córdoba, Sevilla, Antequera, Priego de Córdoba, Montefrío and the stunning lake of Iznájar, all while returning each evening to your own peaceful hillside sanctuary.

Awarded an official tourist license (VTAR/GR/00452), the cottage offers a legal, high-quality and carefully managed stay.

Your Private Pool & Outdoor Living
One of the highlights of Cortijo Sol y Olivo is the large 10m x 5m private tiled swimming pool (unheated), set against uninterrupted countryside views.

Perfect for:
• Refreshing morning dips
• Long, lazy afternoons under the Andalusian sun
• Peaceful evenings beneath star-filled skies with no light pollution

The spacious terrace features sun loungers, two pergolas for shade, and a Weber gas barbecue for relaxed alfresco dining. Step straight from the cottage onto your totally private terrace with outdoor dining table, comfortable seating, and breathtaking panoramic views.

This is slow living at its most natural, unhurried, grounded, restorative.
