Hello, we are Oliver & Maria. Oliver came across the Alpujarras by chance during his journey through Spain in the mid 80's. This was about the same time as the famous book writer Chris Stewart arrived into the area. Years later he published his bestseller ‘Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia (The Lemons Trilogy)’ where he tells all these funny tales and amazing experiences he had in this very region. He also discovered the same sort of authentic unspoiled paradise as he did. Back then, south of Granada was very different to what it is now. The area was impoverished, there were not many cars around but lots of donkeys instead, TV was a novelty and people actually 'lived' in the bars. There was no motorway for hundreds of miles. Granada was a day journey away and northern Europe a different planet. He was in heaven. I’ve been living in this area for almost 30 years and my children were born and grew up here. I absolutely love this region. Since then, I´ve been exploring the many things this area has to offer: hiking, skiing, cycling, snorkeling, biking, cooking, climbing and partying, of course. It´s my home and it feels like paradise!

The Tropical Studio is a very cozy apartment in the lower floor of a large, Andalusian country house surrounded by 3,000 square meters of biologically certified land with many oranges, olive, and other southern fruit trees, a large garden with playground, a child-safe pool, and green lawns in the middle of nature. Each one respects the others and the coexistence is always easy and harmonious, without there being any problem between guests. In addition, Each house has its own private garden area. The shared swimming pool (9x4m plus a shallow part) and the lawn area surrounding it are fenced, completely childproof. The lush garden is very child-friendly with a water slide, a playground, a small soccer pitch with a goal and a giant tire swing.

The property is located in the heart of the Alpujarras, in the green and lush south slopes of the Sierra Nevada with its breathtaking landscapes and mild and sunny micro climate all year round, away from the busy touristic spots. The studio is only 25 min driving distance to the coast, 40min to Granada (one of the most beautiful and lively historic and cultural cities in the world) and little over one hour to the Sierra Nevada ski resorts. The closest town, Órgiva, is a southern Andalusian town, picturesquely situated in a large valley, surrounded by wild mountain landscape, rivers, olive and orange groves. It has numerous cafes, bars, restaurants, terraces, small shops, a weekly market and an old-fashioned market hall with fish shops and organic stands. You will find also supermarkets, banks, a post office and an emergency hospital. Only 7 km away is the traditional spa-town Lanjarón, with its ancient but recently renovated baths offering various wellness services.
