A truly enjoyable stay and incredible value for the price we paid. I cannot recommend highly enough.

The owners were the most attentive we have ever experienced in a very understated way. The property was kept perfectly clean. We stayed for four nights and were sad to leave. Excellent breakfast with home made food including items from the garden. The grounds and the pool were very peaceful, and the property is in a very convenient location. The owners dogs are both perfectly behaved and only add to the experience.

Peaceful, hospitable and very comfortable

Perfect place to wind down after a busy trip seeing family and attending a wedding. Really peaceful gardens and pool area, with a good quality jacuzzi for an additional fee. The hosts were very hospitable, being there if we needed but quietly getting on with their own lives and their breakfast is amazing. As a bonus, there are two sweet and very well behaved dogs, they come for cuddles if you want them too and equally will stay away if you don't like them! We will definitely come and stay here again.

Fabulous, peaceful, delightful accommodation

Lovely peaceful short stay, accommodation was clean and comfortable with a very comfortable bed, great air con and an easy to use shower. The swimming pool surrounded by fruit trees and well maintained garden was perfect. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and respectful of our privacy. Lastly the breakfast was amazing with a lot of homemade produce available.

A quiet weekend away.

We were looking for a quiet weekend away in the countryside and that is what we got! The property is close to Velez Malaga and a short drive to the coast but it's setting is so peaceful. Our hosts were excellent, attentive, friendly and on hand at all times, if needed. The pool area and gardens are delightful. Our room was comfortable and spacious. Tasty breakfast both mornings with fresh produce. Easy private parking.

Amazing accommodation

We came back here after 8 years and everything was wonderful as we expected even we found new owners. Koen and Liesbeth are very friendly and they did everything to make us feel comfortable. Breakfast was great and we got it even when we asked to have earlier than the normal schedule. The pool is in a very beautiful garden with trees and grass where you can make a BBQ too. You need a car to get there but is very easy to find and go to the sea side in Torre del Mar or in trips to visit the beautiful places from Andalusia Definitely we will be back soon
