Accommodation, Activities and Discovery in the Alpujarra Mountains of Granada, Southern Spain
Las Chimeneas is a dramatic set of converted village houses which have been welcoming guests to the Alpujarra since 1998. There are nine lovely rooms, each with fabulous views across the hills to the sea in the far distance. We provide very comfortable accommodation, with lots of antiques and books and hidden nooks and crannies, together with a delightful little restaurant that will surprise you by the quality of its freshly made seasonal produce.
We have a deep knowledge of the area and are anxious to share our enthusiasm for this place which has been our home for so long. We offer all kinds of holidays, including trekking, bird watching, cycling, painting, cookery and yoga. Of course we are also open for short stays for those wishing to come just for one or two nights.
Above all what we supply is peace and relaxation and a genuinely warm welcome. This represents a very winning combination. Perhaps it is this that led The Times to number us amongst their Top Ten in Europe's best mountain hideaways in the Summer of 2018.
BBC feature
How did that happen? Quite mystifyingly, we found ourselves on the telly, or at least Emma did, when she starred with Richard E.Grant as they wandered along the olive terraces and discussed our book and life in the alpujarras. In the programme "Write Around the World" Richard travels to Spain in the footsteps of Federico García Lorca, Hemingway, and more.
Our accommodation
Casa las Chimeneas is an extremely spacious house which has been restored in the local style and is furnished with authentic antiques throughout. In addition there are also three studios/apartments enjoy wood fires and stunning views. Most of our guests enjoy meals in the Las Chimeneas restaurants but at quieter times of year we do sometimes offer self catering options. Email for details.
Rooms in The Casita, The Corral and The Azotea are decorated to the same high standard as Casa las Chimeneas.
Las Chimeneas Cook Book
Our book, Recipes and Stories from an Alpujarran Village, combines dozens of tried and tested recipes with essays and interviews with local characters which we hope will bring insight into this region that we love so much, and add flavour to the reading experience.
