About the owner
Hi - we are Laurie and Brenda Mellor, young
middle-agers, keen on music, cricket, food, lovely places, travel (we visit India regularly and have enjoyed trips to Uganda, Gambia and Guyana amongst others). We currently work in financial services, which is all about people, not numbers, as is commonly supposed. We love hosting people at our little house in Spain and try to make it feel as much like home as possible. We visit at least twice a year to make sure everything is up to scratch. Got 2 boys, who are great fun and keep us on our toes.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We were looking for somewhere away from the coast, which was just too expensive and over-developed. Ronda was a real draw, so we looked at property close by and were shown a small flat in Montejaque to begin with. We also looked at places near Arriate, but we were already smitten with this friendly village and its fantastic location. For us, it has the perfect combination of village and rural life, yet within reach of a real centre, with all the facilities you could need. We hear Spanish spoken more than English and life moves at a civilised pace. The house was a mess when we bought it - two large outbuildings (allegedly the kitchen and bathroom!!) stood (just about!) where the dining terrace and the jacuzzi terrace are now and the interior was gloomy and unloved. How times have changed!
Unique benefits of the property
There's no doubt that the decision to install a jacuzzi has been the right one. It just adds that something extra - whether in winter (how lovely to sit in the hot tub after a crisp winter day's walking, to ease tired legs) or summer (cooling off in the plunge pool with a drink, a book and a friend).
It has sometimes been a nightmare (regular maintenance from Kevin has reduced problems to a minimum now) but overall has been a great investment.
We are also really pleased that we decided to buy in this particular street. Because of the mountainous terrain, our street manages to link the main square at one end and almost complete wilderness at the other PLUS you can park in our road (rare in the older part of the village). No mountain climbing just to reach the house with your luggage!
