Perfect Family Holiday

Fantastic house, very easy trip from Málaga Airport. Beautiful views, superb pool, really huge. This rustic, traditional house was perfect,we had such a great time. Loved using the wood fired pizza oven and the BBQ. Iznajar is a 10 minute drive and is really pretty and charming. Francisco and Juani were perfect hosts, thank you you for a memorable holiday

Una Casa Hermosa y Tranquila

Los Caracolillos is a traditional Spanish house set in a quiet location. Our family had a fantastic time here and the photos on here do not really do justice to the outside space which is fantastic. The pool is exceptional and very big for a private villa. The house is very traditional and does have some quirks but is perfect in the setting and, while very secluded, is only 20 minutes from supermarkets and an hour from Málaga. Francisco and Juani were great hosts and clearly want everything to be right for their guests. If you want a peaceful stay in a beautiful location with space for the whole family then you will find that here.

Peace and tranquility

We had a wonderful 6 days here, relaxing, amazing scenery in a spotlessly clean and well equipped traditional renovated house. The owners were friendly and on hand if we needed anything. You need a car to access but shops are 10min drive or 20min for bigger shop. We drove to visit Cordoba, Granada and lake Iznajar during our stay, which were beautiful but we were just as happy, if not more so to stay at the accommodation, having a BBQ and sitting around the swimming pool which is bigger than looks in pictures. The outside area is huge and has shaded areas too if you want to keep out the sun. House is cool with traditionally thick walls and additional air con is provided. Some stairs may be more tricky for very young kids and for tall guests, watch your head when using the en suite 😀. Overall we had a great time & highly recommend.

Beautiful rural location, amenities close by

We are a family of 5 who had a great stay. Juani & family were great hosts and we enjoyed their company whenever they visited to do the pool maintenance, they helped with where to eat & places to visit. The property was great, clean and in a quiet location, pool great. We visited the local garage which is a 5 minute drive for fresh bread 🥖. The main supermarket was in Rute a 20 minute drive which had everything we needed. We visited Seville, Cordoba, Malaga & Grenada as well as some smaller places, all on the good motorway network which was not far. Weather was exceptionally hot so the pool was great to have. We loved the house & location and would thoroughly recommend. Thank for a great stay Juani, Francisco and Adrian.

Wonderful.

Thank you to Juani and Francisco for the most special family holiday. Gorgeous house with the most wonderful views. We’re we’re so sad to leave and could quite easily spent another 2 weeks there. The house is immaculate and incredibly comfortable. The pool, wow! Absolutely huge and very clean. The children as well as the adults spent a lot of time in there to cool down when it got too hot. Property perfectly situated to visit surrounding towns. Lovely restaurants in Iznajar, our favourite was Nelson’s. Juani and Francisco were always contactable if we needed any help or questions answered. Thank you again.

A perfect slice of paradise

We are a family of 3 and spent a very happy week at this beautiful property. The house, pool, terrace and views are out of this world. Everything is super clean and well stocked. The house has everything for a wonderful vacation. The pool is big and perfect for swimming and water games. The large patio has lots of different areas to sit outside to enjoy the sun or keep cool in the shade There is an outside BBQ and pizza oven and we only went out for food a few times. The local restaurants are great but we loved our evening meals by the pool watching the sun go down. . The property reflects the love and hard work the owners Juani and Francesco have put into it. We can highly recommend this property and can’t wait to return some day soon. Thank you so much

Exceptional property with amazing pool

Just arrived back from a 2 week stay at this amazing property. Francisco did an amazing job renovating this old property and Juani's style and management of the property guarantee a fabulous stay. The pool and outside space is perfect, cool in the mornings and plenty of shade in the afternoons and beautifully secluded. It is extremely hot in the afternoons at the height of the summer but inside the house remains cool and has aircon for a real cool down. The kitchen is well stocked with all that you need, and those useful things like plastic containers for left overs and a great drinks coolers. You will want for nothing. The scenery is stunning, exploring best in spring and autumn probably when it's cooler. Fab stay, thanks to you both.

Fantastic

We had a really nice stay in Juani's house. It has everything e needed. The house is a typical style andalusian house, but has everything we needed, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a third bathroom at the swimming pool. Inside the houde is a smaller living room and kitchen, but it's really well equiped and has everything you need. Once outside everything is really amazing. The house has a supernice terrace with amazing mountainviews with andalusian olive trees, and also a couvered terrace and a really nice swimming pool (with the same views off course :) ). The house is located in a, rural, very tranquile area but still quite close to the road to Iznajar and the highways to Malaga, Cordoba and Granada. The barbeque and woodfiring pizza oven are definitely a plus!! I would certainly come back here for a visit in the region.

Wonderful, peaceful getaway in the Andalusian mountains

This is an amazing villa with all the amenities one could ever want. The welcome Cava and beers in the fridge on arrival were a nice touch. The views are breathtaking as is the general tranquillity and quietness that the area offers. Juani and Francisco (the owners) could not have been more welcoming and have lovingly created this amazing retreat for visitors who wish to get away from it all and have a relaxing holiday. There is an abundance of really good eateries in the area and the nearby supermarket in Rute has great variety of products at a very good price. Everybody is incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home (even if you don't speak any Spanish!). Harry (Juani & Francisco's English friend living in Iznajar) made himself available to assist should we need help with anything due to our lack of ability to speak Spanish which was a very nice touch. To sum it up, we had an amazing holiday and would highly recommend this property to any guest. Definitely a 5 star getaway which we hope to return to in the future.

Fabulous house & location

This property is very special! 6 of us stayed here for a week, wish it had been longer. The property is exactly as described, farmhouse local style. Spotless and great care had been taken to ensure we wanted for nothing. Extremely well equipped, particularly in the kitchen, but elsewhere also - little touches like bin bags, dishwasher tablets, loo roll, laundry, cleaning products, BBQ brickettes and even wood for the pizza oven were welcome especially in the early days before a supermarket shop. Juani and Francesco (owners) are lovely! Very accommodating, quick to respond. All linen provided, including towels and pool towels. The location is idyllic if you’re looking for peace and tranquility, fantastic view over rolling hills covered in olive trees. Pool is a very good size and owners come back mid week to clean one evening. Supermarket approx 20 mins away. Malaga airport 55 mins. I could not fault this property one bit, it ticked every box for us (and we’ve stayed in quite a few over the years across Europe) as such we will definitely be back next year, for 2 weeks next time. Thank you Juani and Francesco for everything! Lucy x

Ein toller Urlaub in einer wunderschönen Finca

Wir haben den Aufenthalt richtig genossen. Francisco, Juani und ihr Sohn sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und antworten schnell jede Art von Fragen. Die Villa liegt Mitte in der Natur (daher in einer sehr ruhigen Umgebung), ist sehr liebevoll dekoriert und ausgestattet, mit allem, was das Herz begehrt: ein großer Pool, genug Liegestühle, ein Grill, ein Pizzaofen (haben wir aber nicht benutzt) und auf jeden Fall genug Platz für 2 Familien mit insgesamt 5 Teenagern (4 Zimmer insgesamt). Das Zentrum des Orts Iznajar ist ca. 8 Kilometer entfernt und ist mit seinem andalusischen Flair ein Ausflug wert. Von der Villa aus konnten wir mit dem Auto problemlos folgende Ausflüge unternehmen: Fort Bravo little Hollywood (ca. 2 Stunden entfernt) La Alhambra (bei Granada, ca. 1 Stunde entfernt) Caminito del Rey (ca. 1 Stunde entfernt) Kajak auf dem Meer zu den Maro Wasserfällen (in Nerja, ca. 1,5 Stunde entfernt) Rundum ein toller Urlaub und wir haben uns gut erholt.

Geweldige week in een fantastisch huis

Het is een van de meest fijne vakantiehuizen waar we ooit geweest zijn. Het zwembad is werkelijk geweldig. Onze 3 kinderen hebben er heerlijk gespeeld. Er zijn heerlijke schaduw en zonplekjes. Bij het zwembad is ook een fantastische bbq plek. De bedden zijn goed en werkelijk aan alles is gedacht in dit huis. Het is bijzonder karakteristiek! De supermarkt is iets verder weg dus voor een paar dagen boodschappen doen is wel noodzakelijk. Bij het tankstation dichtbij kun je elke dag verse broodjes kopen. Het meer van Iznajar is ook het bekijken waard! Een auto is wel noodzakelijk. B We komen zeker een keer terug! We hebben een geweldige week gehad!

Herrliche Ruhe, phantastischer Garten & Pool

Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt in dem von Francisco und Juani wunderbar und mit sehr viel Liebe renovierten und dekorierten Landhaus inmitten von Olivenbäumen. Es ist wunderschön und die Außenanlage ein Traum! So einen schönen Pool, immer wahnsinnig sauber und erfrischend! Es gibt zahlreiche Sitzgelegenheiten im Freien, die immer einen schattigen Platz bieten. Das Haus bleibt angenehm kühl, insbesondere im Untergeschoss. Die Räume in den beiden oberen Etagen unter dem Dach haben eine Klimaanlage, so dass man gut schlafen kann. Der Empfang und die Betreuung von Juani und Francisco waren sehr herzlich und sie waren immer verfügbar, sie haben auch sehr gute Tipps zum Einkaufen und für Restaurants gegeben. Es war ein wunderbarer Urlaub, ganz toll, sich nach einem Ausflug in die Städte Malaga, Granada oder Cordoba in der Ruhe der Natur auf der Terrasse auszuruhen! Danke! P.S.: Ein kleiner Hinweis, aber nur zur Information, nicht kritisch: Die Betten sind nicht so lang, (für sehr große Leute zur Info) und die Treppen zum Obergeschoss könnten für kleine Kinder oder ältere Menschen schwierig sein.

Stunning Villa in tranquil location

We have just returned from a 3 week stay at this beautiful villa and had one of the best holidays ever! The villa itself is stunning with the most amazing views over the olive groves. The tranquility and peace is just fantastic and certainly lends itself to a thoroughly relaxing holiday. The picture doesn't really do justice to the villa and particularly the outside space. The villa itself has everything you need, we cooked at home many nights on the bbq and also use the outside oven. The villa is very cool, even with the heat wave temperatures! Air conditioning in all but one bedrooms (which had a fan) was excellent. The pool is large, perfect for swimming in or just floating around. The outside toilet and shower was also really handy - no wet feet going into the house!! The outside space is just amazing. My elderly parents enjoyed their morning coffee on the sofa under the covered area, surrounded by lovely plants. Breakfast in the shade of the almond and olive trees with 2 tables to choose from. The seating area under the trees was just perfect whilst the sun worshipers soaked up the rays on the sunbeds. There is a lovely breeze that wafts through making sitting out just perfect. On a daily basis the local baker would call to deliver whatever bread and cakes we wanted and even arranged a birthday cake for me during our stay! You do need a car for this villa. From the main road it is a short drive up the hillside, the road is steep and narrow at parts but we had a large 9 seater vehicle and managed fine. We can recommend the restaurant at the bottom of the hill, excellent food, fish is amazing and very reasonably priced. A 10 minute drive across the bridge takes you into the ancient hilltop town of Iznajar. I was not expecting such a beautiful town, every house immaculate ,and such history. The view across the lake are stunning, clear green waters stretching on for miles. We visited the beach area on several occasions, fabulous restaurant -large portions!! Went swimming and canoeing which was great fun. The owners Juani and Francisco are so helpful and friendly people. They called several times a week to clean the pool, water plants etc. Most of our contact prior to arriving was with their very good friend Harry who is from England and translates for them. We met up with Harry one evening and he took us on a tour of Iznajar followed by a cool beer!! We would thoroughly recommend this villa and hope to return again in the near future.

Perfect Family Home

This is a perfect family country house. It is rural, private and secluded, with a great pool, patio, BBQ and undercover areas - whilst still within easy reach of towns, shops, restaurants and an hour or so from some great beaches. The house itself has plenty of room over 4 bedrooms, (dishwasher, microwave, washing machine etc), and there are acres and acres of communal olive groves to walk around, with a private driveway and plenty of parking. Fully air conditioned, if needed, but the house is very cool in contrast to the very warm weather. Highly recommended.
