Casa de Piedra is a lovingly-restored single-storey, 3-bedroom country-style villa. Constructed using traditional materials the house retains many original features that combine effortlessly with the more modern benefits of central heating and air-conditioning. Situated in a semi-rural location, just on the edge of Gaucin village and surrounded by orange and olive groves, 36°31'17.94''N, 5°19'38.48''W, the house provides a wonderful base from which to explore the Serrania de Ronda or to simply soak up the ambiance of the local area. Sit in the shade, in the lawned and terraced garden, and admire the mountain views that characterize the Serrania. Alternatively, take a dip in the private pool or stroll up to Gaucin and marvel at the stunning views down to Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco beyond.

Guest comments
Just a quick note on behalf of all of us to say how much we all enjoyed the holiday - the villa exceeded all our expectations and the village and the area were absolutely lovely. JT, May 2010
We felt very relaxed after a week at this beautiful house tucked away in a hidden part of Andalucia. A big thank you to Manolo who looked after the property quietly in the mornings, and especially the thoughtful delivery of green beans one day and a collection of freshly picked aubergines, tomatoes, peppers and marrow another. A, R, O and D, July 2011
