Nestled in the foothills below the Virgen del Saliente Monastery in northern Almería lies Carpe Diem which comprises three cortijos with variable accommodation.

Surrounded by mountains and almond trees it gives the visitor a taste of the real Spain in this beautiful part of Andalucia.

Carpe Diem is well situated for trips to the beaches of Mojácar, Garrucha and elsewhere (approximately 40 minutes away) or to the beautiful lakes at Baza - only an hour away. Also within easy driving distance is the famous city of Granada (one and a half hours) and the ski slopes of the Sierras Nevada.

And at the end of the day you return to the calm and tranquility of our beautiful rural location, away from the hustle and bustle of these tourist attractions.

The finca is in a very quiet area. It has a private south facing swimming pool, a west facing garden, a west facing patio area, panoramic views, interesting views, a barbeque.

We, the owners, live in the Carpe Diem complex and we are available at most times to answer any queries that you may have and to demonstrate our commitment to making your stay with us as enjoyable as possible.

Our two cortijos are available for both short term rentals and long term rentals and are ideally suited to those seeking a peaceful and relaxed holiday in self-catering accommodation in rural Spain.

We go that further mile for all of our guests but particularly so to help those who may be visiting this area for the first time - either on holiday, touring, or perhaps as potential property buyers.

Each of our two cottages has just completed total renovation/refurbishment and is fully self-contained, but we will provide breakfast or an evening meal on arrival if required. Please be sure to mention any such requirement on your booking form along with any other special requirements.
