Villa San Cristobal is a huge 5 bed roomed luxury Cortijo sleeping 10. Set amongst the olive groves of Poniente of Granada, this private villa once the village school has been transformed into a luxurious holiday home with pool and gardens which marries the old charm of rustic Andalucia with the modern ease of fully fitted kitchen, WiFi and central heating and games. The old part of the house still retains it's traditional Andalucian beams and structure, whilst the new part has been seamlessly integratated to create a traditional feel throughout.
Situated in the centre of the Andalucian olive belt, it's a perfect base for trips out to the coast, Seville, Granada with its Alhambra and Cordoba and the Coast. Alternatively you can lounge by the pool for the day and maybe nip out to one of the local villages for a leisurely lunch.
The local area still retains its culture and heritage and is one of the few places left in Spain where tapas are served free with every drink. The local food runs from home cooked meals to 5 star decadence . In addition there are many archaeological sites and white villages, along with one of the best preserved Roman Villas outside of Italy.

Review submitted by Chrissie from I.O.W."The most amazing location with luxurious accomodation"
This villa is both luxurious and homely with everything that you could possibly need for a family stay. We had 4 'children' with us - aged 20, 18, 15 and 2 and despite the wide range of ages the villa met everyones needs completely and noone wanted to go home! The kitchen is the best resourced kitchen I have ever stayed in on a holiday. The views from the villa and the gardens truly take your breath away and once you are here you really will not want to go out except to restock on local food and wine. Sitting on the patio late into the evening watching the sun going down over the mountains and sipping carva is the best way to recover from the demands of home and work. And swimming in the pool whilst looking at the mountains is just amazing. Nik is extremely welcoming, provides local informaiton about where to visit and where to eat and is willing to do anything that you need without intruding into your family holiday. The perfect host!
In short I can't recommend this villa highly enough - when we read the details we thought that it sounded too good to be true - but it was true!
