Being in the high mountain village of Capileira, this house lives up to its name of Casa Arriba. This traditional town house had been newly refurbished with bright textiles and a modern colour scheme in preparation for holiday rentals.

With a large picture window in the living room as a feature and being situated at the edge of the village, the views from this property are stunning. The house looks towards the Poqueira Valley with the mountains  of the Contraviesa forming the backdrop. This dramatic landscape was something we wanted to highlight. At the right time of year the swallows are busy and it was an extra bonus to be able to capture the birds swooping past the roof terrace.
