Alqueria de Morayma

An ecotourism farm resort and rustic retreat just outside Spain's Sierra Nevada National Park

The Alqueria de Morayma is an eco-tourism resort and farm complex on 40 hectares of organic vineyards and trees (almond, fig, olive, fruit) in the Alpujarra mountains of Granada province, overlooking the Sierra Nevada National Park.

There are 18 rooms (from €62) and 4 apartments (the latter top out at a whopping €104 for a two-bedroom house) mixing country furnishings and antiques, local textiles and ceramics, with lots of lovely wood carving in the details.

The rustic restaurant with roaring fireplace (in warm weather: dine on a terrace with views) serves traditional stews, migas, and other local dishes—and, of course, their own organic wines—with set lunch menus at €12.

There's a library, outdoor pool, lots of trekking possibilities—you gotta love a place that, in addition to driving directions, also has this in their website's "How to get here" section: "If you are arriving on foot we are 2 km downstream from Cadiar following the banks of the river Guadalfeo."
