Welcome to Casa Ana

Casa Ana is a 400 year old house in the village of Ferreirola in the Alpujarra, Andalucia.

Once an important family home with a wine press, olive oil store, barns and stables, Casa Ana has been transformed into a stylish and comfortable guest house with south-facing terraces, a garden and spectacular river gorge views.

Bienvenidos a Casa Ana

Casa Ana es una casa de unos 400 años ubicada en el pueblo de Ferreirola, en la Alpujarra granadina, en la Andalucía Oriental.

La que, en sus tiempos, fue una importante casa familiar con una prensa de vino, una tienda de aceite de oliva, graneros y establos, se ha transformado en una elegante y confortable casa de huéspedes con terrazas orientadas al sur, un estupendo jardín y espectaculares vistas al desfiladero del río.

Accommodation and Food

Casa Ana, in the peaceful Alpujarra village of Ferreirola, is known for its stylish and comfortable accommodation, fabulous cooking and stunning views of the Trevelez river gorge and the mountains beyond.

The location is stunning and the food delicious. I had a blissfully cool room with comfy bed and a great shower. Anne and her team strive to ensure that your stay is an enjoyable one.

The House

Staying at Casa Ana is like staying at a private house, simple, comfortable and welcoming. A place where you can feel at home.

 

The old Alpujarra-style buildings are arranged around a Moorish courtyard garden, planted with wisteria and roses. A few steps through the garden take you to the terraces with breathtaking views along the valley and into the mountains.

In the bedrooms we’ve kept the original chestnut beams with white walls and terracotta floors, comfortable beds, quality linens and a scattering of rugs.

The bathrooms are modern with rain showers, huge mirrors and hand-made tiles inspired by the Moorish designs of the Alhambra. A large sitting room gives onto a shady terrace with superb mountain views.

The Architect-designed dining room and kitchen are open plan and welcoming, giving onto a secluded south-facing terrace. For winter warmth there is underfloor central heating throughout (even in the bathrooms) and a fireplace in the sitting room.

Casa Ana is a perfect place to bring a small group, especially for walking, writing, or personal development – you can have the place to yourselves. The mix of indoor and outdoor spaces provides a conducive and pleasing environment for this kind of activity. If you bring a group of 6 or more, you can opt to have lunches and dinners included, as we did, and I highly recommend this.

The Garden

Casa Ana was made for outdoor living. Everywhere rooms open onto the Moorish garden, the courtyard or the terraces.

 

There are big shady pergolas where you can relax with a glass of wine, or a cup of coffee and a good book and secluded sunny corners where you can soak up the Andalucian sun and do nothing at all. At night you can sit out, gaze at the stars and watch the moonrise over the mountains.

Everywhere there are panoramic views, the scent of jasmine and orange blossom, and maybe the sound of goatbells or a nightingale or the river far below.

It’s what makes Casa Ana special.

The Casa itself is beautiful, and has been lovingly and sympathetically restored... Anne and the staff couldn’t possibly be any friendlier. The surroundings are also stunning.

The Area

Head north from the Mediterranean coast or south from Granada and you’ll soon find yourself in La Alpujarra – the name given to the spectacular southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada National Park. You’ll enter a world of vast hillsides scored with dramatic river gorges and criss-crossed with footpaths between ancient white villages. One of the most unspoilt of these is Ferreirola, where you’ll find Casa Ana.

A wonderful holiday – certainly one of the best I’ve ever had. Myself and my husband took part in the Walking over Lemons Week with Chris Stewart and stayed in Casa Ana. Cannot recommend the walking with Chris, the stay in Casa Ana and La Alpujarras highly enough.
