Goats Galore!

perfect home to visit Camino del Rey. views to die for. mountain goat visits at the pool was a highlight. Baby goats born recently learing to trek, never gets boring watching. Colin was most excellent host and his house is amazing. house was clean and everything worked and in good repair. pool was clean and nice that pool towels provided. had dinner on the back patio 2 nights and will never forget it...moonlight and stars lit up the mountain peak above and the valley sky below...and as a total bonus, not a single mosquito bite!

Beautiful and relaxing

The House and garden with pool was even better than its description. Very spacious for a family of four and very good value for your money. During the heat wave in Spain, we could still enjoy a breeze that made even the middle of the day comfortable. Colin arranged for everything needed, we only had to enjoy our stay.

Amazing Location

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is more rustic but was perfect for the two of us. We loved the location. Do your grocery shopping before arrival and then just unplug. There’s plenty of hiking in the area, but we spent our time reading and playing card games. It turned into one of the more relaxing trips we’ve been on. The pool and view is unparalleled. We saw an ibex and watched the goat herders behind the property. Absolutely idyllic.

Beautiful Property in an ideal location

This was an amazing find. The cottage is beautiful and is surrounded by amazing scenery. As nature lovers, it was a fantastic location to hike and enjoy the Andalusian countryside. Colin and Francesca were exemplary hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side during our stay, the the wood fires kept the cottage cosy. Thank you!

Stay in paradise

We stayed for a week and the villa was clean and met every expectation and more. The host Colin was very attentive and always on hand should we need for recommendations of restaurants and where to go. The Villa offered a fantastic pool with amazing views and was suited to our family with three teens. Colin met us to take us to the villa even though this was after midnight and this was much appreciated. The area is lovely and quiet and very peaceful, however you can still access busier parts if you required which are a drive away. This was a really beautiful and secluded area with stunning gardens surrounding the villa. There was mountains in front and behind the villa which meant every entrance had natural beauty that you can escape in. The holiday in itself was amazing and would definitely recommend this property to anyone else who wishes to visit the area. Colin was also attentive to our needs noticing our late arrival and asked us for a shopping list which he ensured was at the villa on our arrival as we had three hungry teens! Would love to stay again! This villa was roomy, homely and met each of our individual needs. Thanks Colin and Francesca!

A beautiful property if your looking for a quiet stay in beautiful surroundings. We had an excellent stay. Colin was just absolutely brilliant. So helpful at answering my questions about the area and what was worth visiting. He was so helpful when we met him after driving from the airport. He took us to a local shop to buy supplies and took them in his car to the Villa. The Villa was just wonderful a well stocked kitchen with utensils, which so many villa's are not. A great BBQ lovely pool and cool rooms to sleep in the evenings with Air-con. All the family had a great time.

Wir haben hier übernachtet um den Caminito del Rey zu und El Torcal zu besuchen. Das Haus ist hierfür perfekt gelegen. Direkt an der Grenze zum Naturpark mit einer tollen Aussicht und sehr ruhigen Lage. Der Pool und das Haus sind in einem Top Zustand und sehr Sauber. Alle Schlafzimmer sind klimatisiert. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und sehr bemüht das unser Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich war. Es wurden auch Tipps und Empfehlungen für die Restaurants in der Nähe gegeben. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und waren vom Haus begeistert. Sogar die Steinböcke (auf einem der Fotos) kamen auf einen kurzen Besuch am Pool vorbei.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt

Wir verbrachten ein paar sehr erholsame Tage in dem schönen Ferienhaus von Colin und Francesca. Ausstattung, Sauberkeit und Kommunikation waren perfekt. Der Ausblick, die gute Lage zum Wandern und der tolle Pool waren wunderbar. Wir können das Ferienhaus sehr empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.

Charmantes Haus in schöner ruhiger Lage

Geräumiges Haus, mit schönem Garten und Pool. Wunderschöne Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge. Wander- und Radwege führen direkt am Haus vorbei. Die umliegende Natur ist beeindruckend schön. Das Haus ist etwas abgelegen und die Schrotweg dorthin kann für Leute, die das nicht gewohnt sind, eine Herausforderung sein. Superfreundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzer. Wir waren hier im März, draußen war es 10/12 Grad am Tag und 6/8 Grad am nacht, mit eine Menge regen. In der Küche und im Wohnzimmer gibt es einen Kamin, der mit Brennholz befeuert wird. Andere Räume werden mit Klimaanlagen und Strom beheizt. Um das Haus richtig warm zu bekommen, muss man im Grunde den ganzen Tag drinnen bleiben und die Holzöfen anlassen.Aber Sie gehen tagsüber aus. Also morgens aufheizen und dann noch einmal am Nachmittag. Wir konnten das Haus nicht angenehm warm machen. Die Badewanne konnte nicht mit heißem Wasser gefüllt werden, weil der Boiler eine zu geringe Kapazität hat, um sie vollständig zu füllen. Wir hatten kein Glück mit dem Wetter, dann in ein kaltes Haus zu kommen ist nicht so angenehm ...

Stunning location

We had a wonderful stay at the villa and really made the most of it as the wet weather meant we had to stay in at times. We had beautiful views of the stunning mountain that we both hiked and climbed. We were warm and comfortable with plenty of firewood. The kitchen is super well equipped and it allowed for cooking for many people. The shop was about 15min drive in a near by village. There is enough communal space to spend time together as well as having time in our own rooms. The views and vegetation are magical. Would definitely come back! Thank you to our wonderful hosts for being very communicative and helpful!

Wetter

Colin und Francesca sind sehr freundliche Vermieter, die jederzeit ansprechbar bzw. erreichbar sind und sich intensiv um das Wohlergehen ihrer Gäste kümmern.Die Finca entspricht in allem den Beschreibungen auf der Webseite. Leider waren wir zur Zeit der großen Jahrhundertflut dort und hatten dadurch Beeinträchtigungen für die niemand etwas konnte.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt

Wir waren zu zweit für 2 wunderschöne Wochen in diesem Haus. Es hat an nichts gefehlt, ausser etwas mehr Sonnenschein. :-) Das Haus liegt an einem Berg mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht rundum. Es ist völlig ruhig bis auf die Glöckchen der Ziegen. Wir konnten richtig die Seele baumeln lassen, die Kletterer, die Ziegen und die Greifvögel beobachten. Aufgrund der Abgeschiedenheit (was wir auch suchten) ist allerdings ein Auto von Nöten. Colin gab uns viele gute Tipps, um den Urlaub noch schöner zu machen. Danke hierfür nochmals. Wir können das Haus nur wärmstens empfehlen.

A true stand out property

The beauty of the setting and the property itself is stunning. The owners have worked to provide a gorgeous setting with a lot of room and a stand-out decor. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well-appointed and the views are simply gorgeous. The owner greeted us personally and made sure that we knew just where we were going and where we could obtain provisions and go out to eat. That was a very nice feature. To be sure, those who are lucky enough to stay at this property should be prepared to enjoy "the joy of self-catering" (quote from Colin) and that is certainly reasonable. As such, travelers should expect to provide some of what otherwise might be included in other places they've stayed (example: laundry detergent, paper towels, garbage bags, extra toilet paper). That was easy for us to manage and did not detract one bit from the pleasure of our stay. I've stayed in many countries at many properties and I would rank this as one of the lovliest. .

Fantastische plek!

Wij hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad in een idyllisch huis met prachtig uitzicht. Colin is een geweldige gastheer die veel weet van de omgeving en erg behulpzaam. Het zwembad was heerlijk en er kwam regelmatig iemand om het schoon te maken. Wanneer je van rust en natuur wil genieten dan is dit een aanrader. Elke dag kwamen de berggeiten om water te drinken uit het zwembad. Alleen niet geschikt voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn, omdat je met een trap naar beneden naar het zwembad moet. Wij komen graag weer.
