Apartamento en el corazon de las Alpujarras is located in Carataunas, Spain. Rated 7.0 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.
Apartamento en el corazon de las Alpujarras is a quiet, adult-only apartment base in Carataunas, Spain, set at Haza del Macabe S/N Primero J portal 2. With a guest rating of 7/10 from 4 reviews, it suits travellers who value calm surroundings and self-catering flexibility more than a lively hotel scene. The setting works well for couples who want to spend their days outdoors, then return to a terrace for mountain air and evening downtime.
In the wider Alpujarras, Sierra Nevada National Park is about 20 km away, making it practical for hiking days and viewpoint stops. The Poqueira Gorge area is roughly 18 km from the apartment, a scenic route for walking between villages. If you’re planning winter activities, the Sierra Nevada ski area is also around 20 km, and the ski storage helps you keep equipment organized. Nearby villages such as Bubión (about 6 km) and Capileira (around 12 km) offer a more traditional rhythm for meals and short strolls.
On-site, the swimming pool is a welcome reset after time in the hills, while the terrace gives you a place to slow down without leaving the property. Practical touches include a lift/elevator, facilities for disabled guests, and wheelchair accessibility, which can matter for guests planning a smoother stay. Families should note the adult-only policy, and the presence of kids’ outdoor play equipment may not reflect the same suitability for children as for adults.
Overall, guests appear to like the atmosphere and location for exploring the Alpujarras, with the smaller review sample suggesting it’s best for travellers comfortable with a quieter, more residential feel.
Worth considering if you want a quiet, adult-only base in the Alpujarras and plan to self-cater. With a 7/10 rating from only 4 reviews, it’s a decent fit, but the limited review volume means you should book with realistic expectations.
