The drive up to the villa from the main road seemed treacherous at first. But we were soon rewarded with a stunning view of the whole olive grove backdropped against the beutiful Iznajar lake. It was worth the 5 hour drive from Madrid!

La Vesanilla is a simple villa large enough for a family of 10 – 12. Our family of 8 fitted in perfectly in the 5 bedroom villa equipped with 3 bathrooms – thank god. This ensured that we never had to line up to take a shower or do our business…

The kitchen was also well equipped with all the cutlery, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, etc. So if you were stranded here, it should not be a problem, provided you bring enough food supplies.

We were warmly greeted by the owner, Juan Carlos, his wife Pacqui and son Reuben. They were very welcoming and helpful. Conversing in broken English wasnt a problem at all for us to locate the various facilities and understand how to operate each one. As we arrived during winter, the fireplace was convenient and effective in warming up the whole villa. The kids were disappointed that they could not swim in the pool. The water was cold, so we didnt dare venture into it. If we came during summer, this would have been the perfect hangout for the kids.

The villa was only 15 minutes drive from Rute, where a large hypermarket – Mercadona – stocked everything you needed for your stay. Located centrally in Andalusia – Cordoba to the north, Malaga to the south, Granada to the east and Antequerra/Seville to the west – every major Andalusian city was only 1 – 2 hours drive away.

We spent our 9 days at the villa exploring the olive grove surrounding the villa, visiting Iznajar and its beautiful lake, as well as drove to Granada, Cordoba and even Ronda. We had some brief runs up the hill and (via GPS) found out that the villa was really over 780 metres above sea level. The climbs will reward you with great views and great selfies too! We really wished that we could have stayed longer. But alas we had to return to Malaysia after 9 well spent days at this abode.

Whether you want to make the villa base to explore the Andalusian region, or just laze around exploring the serene olive groves or the quaint Iznajar town, La Vesanilla is the perfect place for you and your family for all seasons…

Très belle maison, vaste, bien entretenue et bien équipée située dans un endroit tranquille avec un magnifique paysage.

Merci à Carlos et sa femme pour leur chaleureux accueil !

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday at Vesanilla. The villa is magnificent and the views are to die for. Every evening we sat at the amazing stone and glass dining table and gazed out over lake Iznajar.

The villa was immaculate and everything you needed in place. I particularly loved the spanish type bbq .

The pool was also amazing and cleaned every 3rd or 4th day by our wonderful hosts.

The villa was very private and in a lovely quiet location but only a short drive from some beautiful restaurants.

Rute has a very good supermarket for all your requirements about 15 min drive away.

Thanks Juan Carlos for the privilege to stay at your beautiful villa and we hope to return and stay again.

«Ninguna persona de habla hispana ha puesto todavía comentarios sobre la casa, por lo que me he animado a valorar la casa para que sirva de ayuda a otras personas. La casa simplemente es perfecta. Vistas inmejorables y equipada a la perfección. Hay que ir con coche y quizás deberían marcar la posición GPS de la casa para llegar perfectamente. Es una casa para desconectar, relajarse, hacer buenas barbacoas, darse unos baños en la piscina si el tiempo lo permite (a nosotros nos ha llovido bastante en S. Santa), darse buenas caminatas por el monte, jugar al ping-pong..Sin más, recomiendo la casa 100%»

Avons passé un excellent moment. Les propriétaires sont accueillants et la terrasse avec vue est époustouflante. Le chemin d’accès est un peu chaotique.

La maison est bien équipée. Tout est fourni. Un petit bémol pour la literie, peu confortable. Garderons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour.
