“Magical, fairytale cottage with jacuzzi in the Andalusian olive grove hills.”

About an hour and 10 mins north of Malaga is this amazing little property, deep in the Andalusian countryside, it’s a magical place, beautiful scenery, flowers and olive groves, a ten minute drive from iznajar, with breathtaking reservoir, castle and cobblestone streets, with blue flowerpots in pretty squares, and a freshwater beach, or to Rute, great if you need a good supermarket, both places are great for tradition food. The property it’s self, don’t be put off with the location, if you want a rural retreat that is well located to visit cordoba, Ronda, Grenada or Seville all are drivable for the day, we did the Caminito del Rey ravine and hydroelectric tour which was an hour and a quarter drive and worth it! We also visited cordoba and Ronda they were just incredible places steeped in history with sights that just blow your mind. The house is beautiful with terraces that include a sun patio, outdoor eating, a inner courtyard and a jacuzzi, everything is well kept, well supplied and comfortable, the hosts Claire and Alan are really informative and so welcoming, the views are magnificent and the sunset from the jacuzzi is stunning. If you want a rural escape to breathe and relax it’s perfect or like us a quiet place from which to explore inland Andalusia. We loved this quirky traditional Spanish house.

“No Sleep due to building works and very disappointed by Owner not disclosing this.”

Location was more or less as expected, a little more off the beaten track perhaps than indicated and the approach road is narrow with a slightly challenging driveway but not insurmountable. This should probably be mentioned by the owners though as it's disconcerting to discover it upon arrival and you wouldn't I suggest want to negotiate it for the first time in the dark. The accommodation itself is lovely, quirky, well arranged and affords privacy from owners property - also has driveway parking. The views offered from the sun deck area are lovely. Did not use the hot-tub simply as it's not our thing but I'm sure many would appreciate this. Addition of Netflix etc also a nice touch.

“Lovely place, clean and tidy, views are beautiful, Claire and Alan are great hosts.”

It was perfect for our holiday. It was clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely to relax in at the end of the day. Claire and Alan were great and we would happily go there again.

“A jewel with a view.”

Beautifully furnished and decorated. Well equipped. Dipping pool with a wonderful view of the olive groves and sunsets. Super friendly, kind and helpful host, Alison. Clean, good quality linens and towels. Two spacious patios. All-in-all a lovely place to rest.
