Carataunas House | The Glass House - An elegant, minimalist villa and pool with beautiful views.

3 Bedroom House in Carataunas

The Glass House began life long ago as a simple one-room 'nave de aperos' - an agricultural building used by local shepherds to sleep in while their flocks of goats grazed the meadows on the mountainside. We took it on in 2006, and gradually extended and transformed it into what you see today - a modern villa in a minimalist style with 3 ensuite bedrooms and a huge 12m swimming pool. We put in as much glass as possible - 15m of sliding doors on the south and west facades, leading onto expansive open sun terraces so that the amazing views to the Sierra Lugar and Mediterranean can be enjoyed from inside as well as outside the house. In fact, every design decision was informed by the views and maintaining a sense of uncluttered space: the terrace handrail is frameless tempered glass; almost everything is white or muted woods and greys - polished cement on the floors and walls, the terraces, the furnishings... even the pool is raised a few feet above ground level at one end to make sure there are as few visual interruptions as possible. Cooler evenings are dealt with by under-floor heating - no distracting radiators!
"Curves don't exist" - our mantra to the builders as the project progressed: clean, straight white lines everywhere, punctuated with the vertical simplicity of cypress trees, framing the strong diagonals of the Sierra Nevada as it rises dramatically on all sides of the house.
The Glass House is just 10 minutes' drive from both Orgiva and the famous villages of the Poqueira Valley - Pampaneira, Bubion and (our favourite) Capileira. The GR7 walking route is just 100m behind the house, so an easy 15 minute stroll will take you to Soportujar for a cold beer and tapas.
Come and enjoy!

Summary: The house was spotless. Beautiful and comfortable with amazing views.

Andreas R. Aug 13, 2023 05:00:40 AM

Summary: You will enjoy the Glass House. Eminent property in the Alpujarra. Very nice pool and perfect in- and outdoor areas. Be aware that it’s not just ‘around the corner’ from shops and leisure. It’s on the countryside. Origiva is 15 min by car but. Recommend Capileira for restaurants and atmosphere. But best thing is to sit back and relax in the Glass House with perfect sunsets and views.

Summary: Easy booking process and communication with Robin was first class.

Summary: Normally active walkers, birdwatchers, restaurant & bar frequenters this fantastic house reduced us to a pair of pool potatoes . We managed one mountain walk all week such was the pull of this property. Cold beer , sunsets , Golden Oriole & nightingales in the garden a little slice of sub alpine heaven. Robin is a top host and on hand if needed. All in all a pretty faultless holiday. Next time we will do some walking (honest). PS The property has all the required amenities and more - and full on stylish to boot!

Summary: We have just returned from two weeks at this beautiful property and are missing the views. We arrived late, in the dark and rain and Robin was an absolute star helping us get to the house and giving us the tour. The house was stunning that first night but it was really the next morning with the sunrise that we experienced the real beauty of the area. The views are breath taking and made our stay the peaceful escape we were looking for. The house is well equipped with everything you will need for kitchen utensils and even some basics in the pantry. The furnishings really compliment the modern home and are very comfortable. We were 4 adults and found the space perfect for all of us but would also see that the house would be perfect with children as well. Each bedroom has it's own ensuite and the beds are very comfortable. Unfortunately even for us Canadians the pool was a bit too cool for us to brave in November/December. The deck and yard provided nice spaces for enjoying the sun and views with lots of seating. You are close to nearby towns which you should explore as they each offer something unique. Thank you Robin, we really enjoyed the Glass House and your recommendations on restaurants were perfect. We hope to be back soon!

Summary: We spent our 15 day summer holiday in the glass house and enjoyed every single day. We were looking for a place where we could just be by ourselves and enjoy quality time together in a peaceful environment but be close enough to the beach, the mountains/beautiful landscape and some cultural highlights. If this is what you are looking for too, the glass house is a perfect match! There is so much to see (and hike) in the surrounding rural villages, there are lots of beaches to explore that weren't crowded at all in late August/beginning of September, not to mention Cabo de Gata, a great Reserve at 180km distance. And of course don't miss our on a visit to the Alhambra and Granada itself. The owner paid a lot of attention to detail when equipping the house with stylish furniture, plain and modern but with everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped and huge, the bedrooms all have their own bathroom attached to it and dining is fun outside as well as inside. The big pool even gets lazy simmers like me jump into the water and the surroundings invite for small and long rests in the sun as well as the shade around the house. Robin has been a great host and we are thankful for him having us.

Summary: A few years ago we stayed in the hills above Nerja and loved the location and the views. We didn't really expect to be able to match our experience then. This, however, was something else! The villa was spotless and the outside space great. The pool area was fantastic. The views were incredible and access to pretty nearby villages very easy. Robin, the host, provided excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit, and nothing was too much trouble. We hope to be back in the future!

Carol M. May 16, 2019 01:38:50 AM

Summary: A spacious, bright house set in the hills near the GR7 trail. Windows on all sides provide beautiful views and there are many sunny and shady places to sit outside. The hiking in this area is excellent!

Jane R. Jul 18, 2018 02:56:55 AM

Summary: Beautiful villa in an amazing location. Perfect for getting away from it all. It has everything you need, the pool is a great size and the place itself is stylishly designed. Would thoroughly recommend!

David D. Apr 3, 2018 12:36:07 AM

Summary: We spent a week here - earlier in the sprin than we usually come to Spain - and this location was perfect. At night you need heating in March and the underfloor system worked well. It was spacious and well-appointed, and in the evenings when it's not warm enough to eat out, all the glass here makes it feel like you're outside anyway. Robin was really helpful about anything that we needed to ask. The views are superb and we really liked the feeling of privacy and seclusion. It's only 100m or so from the road to the white villages, but well screened visually and from any traffic noise. There is a short unmade track to negotiate, but wide enough for two cars to pass and easily done in a standard saloon, but make sure don't try to put lipstick on during the one minute that it takes!
