Excellent property we (5 senior adults) used as base for hiking El Torcal and Caminito del Rey and visiting Cordoba. Unbelievable view from property, excellent pool. Not a luxurious property but everything needed for a very comfortable stay is provided. Excellent communication with hosts. Would return!

Stunning location with outstanding views
The villa is set in beautiful surroundings. Peace and quiet was what we were looking for and it didn’t disappoint.
The villa was very clean and well presented. It was really nice to see a good selection of crockery and wine/beer glasses we could use. We did buy a couple of items that were useful during our 3-week stay. The AC in the bedrooms were quiet and the beds, whilst firm, were comfortable, and bed linen was super-clean and ironed. The pool area and gardens were well laid out and the bar and BBQ area was perfect for al fresco dining.
La Joya which is a few minutes away by car has a handy mini market open on some days for a few hours, but the main shopping is in Antequera which has numerous supermarkets, shops and restaurants. The drive takes about 25 minutes. We recommend Mesón Adarve to eat - excellent food!
Overall, for us it was about the peacefulness of the place. We watched the sun rise in the morning sitting on the front porch (on a very comfortable outdoor sofa), overlooking the valley and listening to the distant ringing of the bells on the goats being brought down the mountainside each morning. Sometimes it was so quiet during the day, all we could hear was the buzzing of the bees, the birds and the breeze rustling through the trees. A wonderfully relaxing holiday.

Très bon sejour
Accueil très sympathique dans une maison agréable qui ceci dit manque un peu de rangement notamment dans la cuisine et une des chambres. Petit point negatif les aboiements noctures constants des chiens alentours. Vue magnifique, ensoleillement au top. Voiture pkus qu'obligatoire

Prachtige plek, fantastisch uitzicht en omgeving
Kleine oase van rust in prachtige omgeving. Heerlijk wandelen, fietsen (e-bikes) en chillen bij het zwembad met bar en bbq. Fenomenaal uitzicht! Wel met een goede kaart en online alles even voorbereiden want het prijswinnend kaasboertje heeft geen reclamebord. Host Maria staat altijd met raad en daad voor je klaar en het zwembad wordt een paar keer per week schoongemaakt. Wel iets voor rustzoekers en mensen die daar van houden. In de buurt zijn genoeg restaurantjes maar voor shoppen en het strand moet je echt wel even rijden. Wij waren er voor de tweede keer en we love it!

Vacances Andalouse
Nous avons séjourné pendant 2 semaines dans une région magnifique et avons profité du soleil ainsi que des sites à visiter.
Nous avons choisi cette maison car elle était située au centre des lieux à visiter Malaga, Cordoue, Grenade et Séville.
L'accueil des propriétaires était chaleureux et bienviellant,la maison correspond à l'annonce.
La piscine était à bonne température et le soleil est présent jusqu'à 21:00, que dire de la vue ... Époustouflante car nous prenions tous nos repas devant ce magnifique paysage.
Pas besoin de climatisation car le vent rafraichis la maison durant la journée et la température est agréable la nuit (ma crainte dans les régions chaude).
Merci à Maria et son mari en leur souhaitant une bonne continuation.
