Guest comments
Ginger & Adrian "You have such a beautiful place"
Mike & Jayne "A hotel bedroom in wonderful countryside. We felt at home immediately. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome. We don't want to leave."
Peter. Wow! The most comfortable bed I have slept in since my years of going to Dubai. 800-thread Bed linen, 6 pillows between the two of us. Enormous fluffy towels and even the knives in the kitchen are sharp. You have thought of everything. The chocolates on the bed were great. You have created a little bit of paradise in the montains. Thank you and we will see you next year.
"Graham & Lesley. "Glorious setting, very comfortable bed and great to have a shower that works! We will be back."
Martin & Ella. "This is a very spacious, well equipped, comfortable flat set within a beautiful house and grounds. The English owners are particularly charming and welcoming. It makes a superb, relaxing retreat in the hills from which to explore the local countryside and beauty spots."
Owner profile
About the owner
Nigel and Ginny have a home where people are always welcome. They breed alpacas, now based in France, and have a love of animals generally. They have been in this part of Spain nearly five years and can help visitors to 'live like a local' and find those places where tourists generally don't go. From local tapas, to good restaurants and villages to explore. Kevin & Yvonne live in the property and will be on hand to help with anything you want. They will welcome you warmly and be available as much or as little as you like.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We came to this part of Spain as we wanted to start an alpaca business. At that time there were no alpacas in Andalucia and we felt that we could create a market here. Now there are some five other owners and more to come. We like the local culture and the absence of this part of Spain being a ex-pat community. There are lots of different nationalities in the mountains, but we respect the Spanish culture and join them in this, rather than try to force our ways on them, which has happened on the coast.Recently we have moved our alpaca business to France, to be nearer the centre of Europe and our good friends, Kevin & Yvonne are looking after the house and Ginny's mum.
Unique benefits of the property
Since we are only 15 minutes from Ronda, we don't feel isolated, though our house is in the country. It is not overlooked and there are good views of the mountains and countryside. When you arrive here you know you have come to a perfect haven where you can just soak up the sun on the extensive terraces, cool off in the swimming pool, indulge in the Spanish hospitality or be more active with walks, bicycle rides or motoring around the area. Your choice!
