Cortijo andaluz con carácter en un entorno campestre muy privado

It is indeed a pretty house with a lovely pool. We were disappointed with the quality of the kitchen with its very old oven, fridges with rusty doors and broken shelves in the doors (have photos if you would like them), inadequate extractor which dripped grease each time it was switched on (yuck!) plus the general lack of working space. We were advised the pool would be cleaned 3 times a week by Paco who did the gardening but it was only cleaned once in 2 weeks by the owner. The track going past the house was used a surprising amount and, as the house is near the main road, the noise from motorbikes on the weekends is pretty intrusive. On the plus side, the owners were very responsive to requests and quickly fixed/replaced other items. We had a good two weeks there and, overall, enjoyed our stay."

Fabulous, charming and remote. Just stunning! Perfect for our family of 6. Well equipped and in a beautiful setting. The pool was popular in the heat of July! The agent and the owner were both very helpful. Would highly recommend this villa and Rustical Travel. We’ll use them again."

We absolutely loved our stay, the house was beautiful, great secluded location, well equipped kitchen. The only problem was that the dishwasher was not working, they had promised to send someone but that never happened. And just a thought- in the trip preparations it said to bring beach/pool towels. That surprised me a bit with a property like that and was a bit tricky with limited Ryan Air luggage, and in the end there were really nice beach towels in the house. So maybe specify, that you would only need towels if going to the beach? Thanks for everything, it was really a great place, and also communication with your company was perfect!"

The booking service was efficient and friendly . Lovely villa in beautiful location"

The house was wonderful and the owners very kind.The views are outstanding across the valley.The house was warm and there was plenty of cutlery and plates for all of us.The garden and pool areas were lovely.The weather was perfect and we sat outside on the terrace in the sun."

My family of five had a lovely holiday here. The property is really beautiful and far away from any noise or trouble, but close to Gaucin for groceries and dining. We explored the whole area, but also spent a lot of time at the house enjoying the pool and the grounds. This corner of Andalusia was magical to visit. We went to Ronda, but also little nearby villages, swimming holes and hiking trails. The inside of the house stayed cool on the hot afternoons, which was a relief. We enjoyed every minute of our stay! Thank you very much!"

A lovely comfortable property, in a very peaceful location and beautiful setting. Very friendly people including the caretaker, gardener and agent, lots of useful information and lots to do in this gorgeous part of Spain."

Beautiful location, very well equipped, and the owners went out of their way to be helpful, providing cots etc. Generally very well maintained, except that the gate to the pool has warped a bit over time, so it's hard to shut it properly A lot of stone floors and a few rough edges, so expect a few bumps and scrapes if you have a wobbly toddler who won't slow down - but older and younger children will be fine. All in all, thoroughly recommended!"

The property was lovely and very private we will be booking it again next year but for 2 weeks as we only booked 1 this year. Great shop in Gaucin that did home made cooking so if we wanted we could go in there each day. The sound of the cow bells each morning also very relaxing. The service from Rustical Travel was 10/10 and all the directions perfect. I want to come later in year but partner wants to go Sailing!!! Will be in touch soon about the 2 weeks next year. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Sue Stuart"

Thank you for a beautiful and comfortable villa. We arrived later than expected and were so grateful to Ines who looked after us well and gave us a wonderful welcome. The villa was well equipped and had everything we needed. The pool was superb, the views amazing and the sound of the cow bells in the evening with a glass of wine was so relaxing and peaceful. The Gaucin area is somewhere we would definitely visit again."

We found the villa and the setting beautiful, it is an excellent place for outdoor living.The scenery from the terraces and pool were abosultely stunning and the weather was just fabulous.It exceed our expectations, thank you.Lis

We had a wonderful time at the property reference RD56. The property was in a perfect location with superb views. Our only criticism was that with the master bedroom upstairs being so vast a larger double bed would have been expected."

You are right it is a bit of a distant memory! But here goes: We really enjoyed our stay in RD56 and Gaucin was very pretty and was a good place for restaurants and shops particularly the daily fish market and butcher (although it was a bit of a drive)Good points 1. plenty of loungers by pool 2. very friendly owner who kept us supplied with figs! 3. Lots of outside eating areas 4. Serious barbecue 5. Good bedrooms (we thought the details suggested the downstairs rooms would only be suitable for children but we found them perfectly ok for our "grown up" children and partners.) 6. Good separate laundry area 7. Great views and melodious cow bells! 8. Paella delivery. Points for improvement 1. Pillows not enough and poor quality -asked the caretaker for more but she was unable to supply. 2. Kitchen equipment a bit rudimentary eg no whisk, weighing scales, cake tin. Making a birthday cake a bit of a challenge but we did manage! Pans had been non-stick but this had worn off so difficult for cooking. Plenty of frying pans but could have done with more saucepans especially medium size. Good supply of crockery, cutlery and glasses. 3. Upstairs bathroom sink a bit tired, enamel worn and a lot of lime scale. 4. Lighting a bit random, many bulbs gone and couldn't get light to work on stairs despite changing bulb. Also lighting on outside terrace a bit poor for supper. (it was September so less of a problem probably in summer) Fine by the barbecue. 5. Provision of a visitors book might be an idea. Most places we stay have these and people can jot down good restaurants, place they've visited, what day you can get fresh churros from the market etc "
