Casa Ana

Top choice in Las Alpujarras


A beautifully restored 400-year-old house in tiny Ferreirola, 4km southeast of Pitres, Casa Ana has just 10 rustic-chic rooms (handmade tiles, chestnut beams, rain showers) set around gardens of lavender and wisteria. Writing, painting, yoga and other creative retreats are the speciality. British owner Anne organises walking holidays with author Chris Stewart.
