About this property

CASA JOSEFA Holiday Berber House in Capileira -

Casa de Josefa is a traditional but spacious Berber style house just below the picturesque church in Capileira, nestling in the heart of the friendly local community. Its large lounge and open fire make a comfortable place to relax in the evenings. From its roof terrace and lounge there are stunning views across the Poqueira valley, up to the high Sierra mountains, snow-covered for much of the year, down to the Mediterranean coast. The many walkers, who use Capileira as their base, contribute to the lively atmosphere of the town. From the front door you can walk down to the next village (Bubion) for coffee; or down to the Poqueira river (1 hour) or across the valley and up into the mountains. A walker's paradise. For those on wheels a short drive up to the entrance to the National Park will reward you with views of the Mediterranean and even the African coastline and mountains on a clear day. There are plenty of activities, including mountain biking, horse riding, Flamenco courses, climbing , art classes...

Casa Josefa se establece en el corazón de la comunidad amigable de Capileira, pueblo considerado uno de los más bonitos de España.
Situada en la ladera de la montaña de Sierra Nevada, desde su terraza, se avista, las cercanas cumbres de la Sierra Nevada, Nevada la ayor parte del año y mirando hacia el sur, la costa mediterránea y la montan lejana costa africana.
Es una casa de más de 150 años de edad, reformada manteniendo su estilo tradicional beréber pero muy espaciosa.
Una base maravillosa para caminantes de todos los niveles

Taking in the amazing views
This property is a wonderful traditional cottage. If your looking for something authentic and charming, this is the one. The views are amazing. There is plenty of space and it is very comfortable. If you have mobility problems or are looking for ultra modern then its not for you. I love this place. I recommend this house and this village. It has many good restaurant that you can walk to but you can cook your own meals in the well equiped kitchen. You will need a car.

Prachtige woning
De (vakantie)woning is gunstig gelegen. Het is meer dan een vakantiewoning het is een echte woning waarin je je onmiddellijk thuis voelt. Totaal niets op aan te merken.

About the host

Hosted by Elena & Thierry

Host profile image
We are Elena and Thierry.
Elena is Spanish-Italian and Thierry is Belgian.
We are enthusiasts of the mountain and the journeys, especially those by bicycle. It was during an exploratory climbing expedition of the sites in Andalusia in 2006 that we visited the Alpujarra and its three Berber villages perched on the south side of the Sierra Nevada. It took just one day to realise that Capileira was going to become our pied-à-terre. We have been settled here since enjoying a happy and peaceful life with our 2 children, and our dog.

Why they chose this property

We went climbing in Capileira site and fell in love with the kindness of the people, the village with its traditional Berber houses and the crystal clear atmosphere to breath at this elevation of over 1500 metres.

What makes this property unique

Casa de Josefa (which took its name from the Canadian lady who renovated it) is ideally situated in the village, with good access to the car park, the shops and main square, yet occupying a quiet area in the streets just below the church. Capileira is a wonderful base - cooler in the summer than lower down the mountains or at the coast. Yet the Mediterranean beaches or the exciting city of Granada can be easily reached in an hour by car.
