Just 20 mins from Costa del Sol beaches and golf, the green and forested Casares valley is home to some excellent private holiday villas with large gardens ensconced in genuine nature. Here is Andalucia rural self catering at its best, with well-designed accommodation in a relaxing setting, a warm, sunny climate and country restaurants. Fly to Gibraltar, Malaga, Jerez.
We found this well-kept villa at the edge of Arenas de San Pedro, a famous town at the foot of the high mountains of Gredos. The entire house and gardens are delightful, with a lovely pool and barbecue area. A safe bet for families wanting to stay somewhere pretty, clean and nicely presented and not too far from Madrid. The surrounding mountains are stunning. Sleeps 14
