Notes
- Notes on accommodation: The property has a balcony and roof terrace, free Wifi, a spacious book-filled living room, double bedroom leading to a 2nd twin bedroom, a rustic but well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower, wc and sink and plentiful hot water. All accommodation is on the 1st floor. The house and the entire area would prove very difficult for anyone with mobility problems. The owner lives next door and is happy to help with knowledge of the area. Otherwise unobtrusive! New we now offer free wifi to visitors Sorry, no cats, I am allergic. Dogs OK. Outside: From the living room there is a south-facing covered balcony with seating and on the roof a sunny terrace for sunbathing or stargazing. From here the views of the mountains and sky are beautiful and at certain times of the year you can see eagles overhead. There is a table, lounging chairs and barbecue. Several of the local signposted walks along ancient mule trails start just outside the house, which is on the edge of the village. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Linen and towels included. Bring your own beach towels please. The house is cleaned thoroughly between clients. We can also provide a pack of basic provisions and/or a cooked meal. Other: Everyone's favourite place seems to be the sheltered balcony off the living room. There is a table and chairs for eating and an outside light with lots of plants and great views.

Ask a questionAbout Barbara Lynch
Hi Most people ask how long I have been here. The answer is 21 years - and I only came here for a month originally, so beware this place is addictive; I have clients who have just made their 19th visit. Ferreirola is a tiny village in the mountains about an hour 15 minutes from Granada but actually a world away.Visitors have compared the area to Nepal or the Atlas mountains but, to me, it is an unique haven from the world, - beautiful, safe, with clear air and light and populated by real people. Come here if you love walking, mountains, or just lazing in the sun and reading. We have a great collection of books. Mostly you will find that you just sit and stare at the scenery in amazement and listen to the silence - possible from the terrace of one of the bars in the nearby villages!
Barbara Lynch purchased this House in 1994
Why Barbara Lynch chose Ferreirola
I fell in love with the place. It is remote but you can even get here by bus from Granada if you are patient.
What makes this House unique
Peace, stunning views, great walking. A feeling of having stepped off the busy world.
