Las Chimeneas

Top choice in Las Alpujarras


A solar-powered 800-year-old village house, this rustic-chic bolthole makes a dreamy walking base. The nine rooms exude character with antiques, timber beams, grey-blue shutters and some of the Alpujarras' best views, while the outstanding restaurant serves Andalucian specialities made with organic homegrown vegetables and local produce and wines. British owners David and Emma are a mine of information.

Winery visits, hiking holidays and yoga, cooking and baking retreats are also hosted.
