If you want to explore Andalusia, this centrally situated villa is probably the best pick. In every corner of the house you can feel the love, care and effort owners Carlos and his wife are putting in this villa. If Andalusia wasn’t such a fantastic region waiting to get explored, you would be sitting on the fence watching the ever changing breathtaking views all day long. Granada, Málaga and Córdoba are within an hour drive, and even Sevilla is within reach.

This villa is great for families, even with little children, as the gate to the pool can be securely locked. In the living room there’s a lovely fireplace to warm up the cooler Andalusian pre summer nights. A pingpong table guarantees hours of competitive fun. And last but not least: the home made olive oil represents the quintessence of this rural area: olive trees as far as the eye can reach. Absolutely loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay for a week in this very charming and spacious villa with stunning views –especially the lake, olive groves and gorgeous sunsets. We found the place to be very clean and well equipped. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to add more comfortable bed mattresses.

There were 4 of us (2 couples) and there was plenty of room to provide us privacy. Juan Carlos and his Mrs. met us on arrival and welcomed us with wonderful cheese. The location was specifically chosen and perfect for visiting many cities and towns such as Cordoba, Grenada, Malaga, Ronda, etc. We also enjoyed trips to the very close towns of Rute and Iznajar (especially the supermarket in Rute), and down to the lake, etc.

Juan Carlos and his family were very friendly and we were able to stay in contact as necessary. Although Juan Carlos doesn’t speak English, his son Ruben does, and we were prepared with our translation apps. And Ruben visited one evening and taught us about the family’s olive oil making business. A very enjoyable learning experience!

This is indeed an idyllic place with very personable hosts. We were very sad to leave and highly recommend to others.

Thank you to Juan Carlos and family for making our vacation extra special and memorable!

Ein Traum zum Abschalten!

Ruben and Carlos were attentive hosts. We appreciated the welcoming beer, cheese and melon. It was a fabulous property with plenty of space although difficult to find, maybe a sign at the top of the steep driveway would be useful as you can’t see the villa from the top. We managed not having a 4×4 but needed a car with a bit more power than our rental car. The villa is amongst olive groves on the side of a hill and away from it all, perfect for what we wanted. The views of the sunsets over the lake were glorious. The bread van was a delight.The supermarket at Rute was easy to get to and sufficient for our needs. We visited Alhambra and Cordoba both within easy reach and the town of Iznajar was charming. We also found horse riding within a short drive. All in all it was a superb holiday. Thank you Ruben and Carlos
