A wonderful villa with everything we could want

We had a wonderful stay in Casa El Rueo. The villa is in a great mountain location on the outskirts of Almogía and very well equipped. It is the perfect base for exploring the Malaga/Granada/Cordoba areas of Andalusia. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the extensive gardens and made good use of the outdoor kitchen and pool.Therese and Jose were the perfect hosts and were always happy to give us advice on the local area. We would recommend Case El Rueo to anyone planning to visit the area.

October break

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would say that the owners were the most welcoming and hospitable of any we have experienced. The house itself is a reasonable size and had all the amenities we could want (a bit like home from home). Provided you have a car then its reasonably well located to reach many places of interest.

Absolutely immaculate perfect property

You will be in a home from home in Jose & Teresa’s beautiful Andalusian house. The pool is huge and gorgeous, the house is well stocked and absolutely spotlessly clean. The area is private and quiet. Be aware that the restaurants in the town only serve evening food on the weekend, but there is a great supermarket only 5 minutes drive away. The hosts were absolutely excellent and helped us whenever we needed. We would happily stay again!

A peaceful retreat

When we arrived I was surprised to realise I’d booked a house set in its own grounds. It is by far the best accommodation I have ever rented for a holiday at this price. The house is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. My friends and I wanted to walk, read and rest - this beautiful house proved to be ideal. Jose and Teresa were so friendly and supportive- knowing they were at the end of the telephone added to the experience, nothing is too much to ask. In summary - wonderful holiday venue in a beautiful natural setting with lots of walks and nature to enjoy.

The perfect villa

Teresa & Jose are fantastic hosts and went above and beyond any other property owners we have encountered encountered. The villa was spotlessly clean, comfortable and exactly the way it was listed. It has all the amenities you could ask for. The setting of the villa was beautiful with scenic mountain views. The pool was at a perfect temperature and regular cleaned and maintained by Jose during out stay. We loved the small town of Almogia with its great selection of bars and cafes. Without a doubt the best property we have ever rented. Many thanks Jose and Teresa. We hope to be back soon.

Nuestra bella estadía en la casa El Rueo en Almogía

La casa está en un lugar precioso. Y los dueños de la casa estaban siempre disponibles. José fue las extra millas por nosotros y nos rescataba cuando estábamos perdidos. Es una persona tan amable y siempre nos respondía nuestras preguntas. Y nos recomendaba lugares para ir, todos muy cerca de la casa. La casa está muy cómoda y todo en muy buenas condiciones. Es un lugar lleno de paz y tranquilidad y cerca de las grandes ciudades. A todos nos gusto nuestra estadía en tan bello paraíso. Con tan bella vegetación y el sonidos melodiosos de los pajaritos. Y si volviéramos a Andalucía, volveríamos a la casa El Rueo. El lugar, y la casa es altamente recomendado, de parte de todos nosotros. Gracias José y Teresa por hacernos sentir como en nuestra casa y sentir como si nos conociéramos de toda la vida. Millie & John

Unique location with excellent hosts

This is a very unique place, and we completely enjoyed it. Orange, pomegranite, avocado, olive and Lemon trees on the grounds, which cover quite a large patch of scenic hillside. Great layout for a small family, even a second bathroom out behind the outdoor kitchen, which was completely unexpected. Jose and Teresa were so helpful and friendly, and were very interested in ensuring we had a great stay. You're going to need a car, but we really enjoyed the driving around Almogia and the immediate area. We're used to wider roads, but it made it fun. The weather (third week of March) did not allow for us to spend too much time around the pool, but it would be a great spot on a hot day. If you want to be in a rural (but not too rural) setting, this place is an excellent choice.

Just Perfect

This must be one of the best properties we have rented over many years visiting Andalusia. Really absolutely faultless with every amenity you could wish for. Without doubt the best pool and outdoor kitchen, the pictures don't do them justice. The house is spotlessly clean and the bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. The open plan living area is ideal and on chilly spring nights the incredible log burner was most welcome. Almogia is a pretty little mountain village with very friendly bars and restaurants. We enjoyed some really lovely meals and truly excellent tapas. Although our Spanish is very limited everyone we met was most welcoming and appreciated our efforts. What can I say about Jose and Teresa, they were fantastic hosts from booking to leaving. Nothing was too much trouble and they helped in more ways than I can mention. They met us at the property on arrival and were there to wave goodbye when we left. Highly recommended

Over and above!

The property is spotless, beautiful, and really well equipped. It's constructed to the highest standards and perfectly maintained - Jose and Teresa are exceptionally good humoured perfectionists. We heartily agree with other reviewers that they are also the most generous and gracious hosts. It's a great home, comfortable in itself, located in countryside that's always fascinating to explore but close enough to walk into town. Talking of which, Almogia is a lovely town, with new beauty around every corner. Jose has a collection of strolls, rambles and energetic hikes in the area that would meet the most strenuous requirements. Jose is also a solicitous host, protecting his guests from their own worst impulses - he twice saved us from inadvisable route choices, and ensured we always took the best road to the many interesting neighbourhood destinations covered in other reviews. We would not hesitate to recommend El Rueo to anyone, including our closest friends.

Wonderful country holiday.

This is a very lovely property, very comfortable and well equipped with a fabulous setting on the edge of the white town of Almogia. If you can tear yourself away from the beautiful garden and pool there are great walks in the surrounding countryside. The town itself has bars, restaurants and a supermarket. There is a bus to Malaga. We would recommend trips to Torcal Park, a fascinating limestone karst area and to the Caminito Del Rey. The owners of the house, Jose and Theresa, will make you feel most welcome. They are so friendly and helpful. We are keen to return and would recommend this beautiful house to you. Brilliant!

If we could give this property and Jose and Teresa more than 5 stars we would! We have had the most wonderful holiday and the welcome we received from Jose and Teresa was amazing. The location of the property is stunning and it has everything you need. My daughter enjoyed a night out with their daughter and her friends in a Almogia and we had a lovely night with the family drinking and eating! We had many lovely days out to Ronda, Mijas, Benalmádena and it’s cable car, El Torcal, the caves at Nerja to name a few but also enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the house and its pool. Jose was always on hand if we needed him and we were really sad to say goodbye. We hope to stay again soon!

Amazing Holiday!!

We stayed September 24th to October 4th 2018 just me and my wife &..... We loved it!!! Teresa & Jose are wonderful people who just wanted it us to have a fanstastic time at their amazing house. The house was immaculate as was the pool and outside area, it was so peaceful and tranquil... at first I couldn't believe how quiet it was, the house is totally private and secluded, Jose who comes and does the pool early in the the morning must tip toe around because we never heard a sound.. he is very discreet, as soon as we got up in the morning we were in the pool, it was brilliant!!! we then cooked our breakfast in the outdoor kitchen and we either went out for the day or stayed outside all day, the house was wonderful but we were never in it, (The outdoor shower has hot and cold water) Teresa and Jose were always willing to help with local knowledge and any advice or help that we needed, they are so kind, considerate and helpful. Outside of the house... the area is Amazing, we went to El Torcal, Donkey Sanctuary, Flamingo Lake, Antequera, Mijas Board Walk, Cabopino Beach (but we preferred it around our pool) the Sunday market in Coin and of course Ardales National Park... what a wonderful place... we can only gve 5/5 but Teresa, Jose and the house deserve 10/5 :o) we loved it so much we have already booked for next year... cant wait.

Wonderful House

We ( myself, wife, 18 year old son and girlfriend) stayed at Jose and Teresa's villa in Almogia for 2 weeks, (during the group stages of the world cup!!). From the initial enquiry, directions, to arrival, communication from Jose was friendly, prompt and excellent. We were met on arrival and their villa is in a quiet peaceful location and was spotlessly clean with everything you could want. Plenty of space inside and outside with lots of nice plants around the villa. The pool was cleaned every other day by Jose, but it didn't attract lots of insects or vegetation to clean out in between anyhow. Thankyou Jose for the fruit, we had fresh orange juice every day with breakfast and he told us to top up the fruit from his garden on the hillside which we did. Almogia is about 30 minutes by car from Malaga, a nice drive up through the hills with nice scenery. Lots to see and do within an hours drive, recommend the caves at Nerja, Cablecar at Benalmadina, Cliffside path at Caminito del Ray if you dare, (and can work out the instructions for entry) Botanical gardens just outside Malaga, Cathedral, Alcazabar and the Picasso museum in Malaga. Or just drive in the mountains and past the resevoirs. Thankyou Jose and Tereza, you are very nice people and if we stay in the Malaga region again we will contact you to see if you villa is available. Pity about Spain getting knocked out of the world cup early - come on England!! Regards Lyndon and Pauline
