David and Jacqui were incredibly friendly and helpful from the first mail to the last goodbyes.
The studio was clean and comfortable, and obviously furnished by people who have stayed in such apartments and thought about what they'd like to have when they travel. The kitchen has everything you need to cook simple meals, there's a little sofa in addition to the table and chairs, there's plenty of storage space and several hangers for clothes. A minor detail (but one we notice, especially when lacking): there are plenty of hooks in the bathroom.
The views really are that stunning and more. Though the drive up to the apartment is a bit hairy, it's worth it. We woke every morning to gorgeous sunrises over the mountains, and enjoyed watching the last light fall in the evenings on those same - but ever-changing - mountains.
A word to the wise about the location. If you've read more of the reviews of Vine Ridge (we did), this shouldn't come as a surprise (and yet, it did): the spot is more remote than I was expecting. (It was also more peaceful and beautiful than I was expecting, so I'm really not complaining!) If you are visiting Andalusia for the first time and want to see as much as possible, you might want to think about staying someplace less remote, or moving around to a couple of other locations in addition. Wherever you stay: check Google Maps before you go, and pay close attention to the driving *times*, not just the distances. The distances are deceptive, because it's hard to imagine from flatter regions of the world just how twisty, turny, upy-downy those distances are. (On the other hand, that also made all our drives just gorgeous.)
If you're looking for a spot with gorgeous views and pretty walks close by, and are planning to spend about half (or more) of your time chilling out at the pool, reading a book in front of the lovely views, and/or petting the dogs, then this is the place for you.
Thanks again to David and Jacqui for a wonderful vacation.
