Guest comments
Such an excellent apartment we stayed twice in one year! The apartment is spacious and relaxing with stunning views all the way down to Gibraltar and the coast of Africa and Gaucin is a beautiful village which retains its Andalucian charm. In August, the festival is a great time to visit, as the village comes alive in the evening. When we stayed in mid November we enjoyed two weeks of almost unbroken sunshine, including some days spent all day sunbathing on the terrace!
David & Deborah Jenkinson, Lancashire, UK
A truly beautiful apartment, with lots of history, character and space, lovely decor and furnishings, and gorgeous views from a stunning terrace. An equally beautiful pool area and sunbathing terrace below, again with stunning views.
It's hard to leave the place to go in to town or sightseeing!
We would highly recommend staying here. Fantastic.

Owner profile
Sylvia Felix in Gaucin
About the owner
I have lived in Spain for 36 years, 28 of them in Marbella, where I was a builder and an interior designer.
My mother was Spanish (from Llanes, in Asturias) and I am totally integrated into the Spanish way of life, and am bi-lingual. (Actually, tri-lingual, with French.)
I fled the Coast for the campo of Gaucin. The attractions are the breathtaking rural countryside, Straits and Africa, and the natural lifestyle, which includes food locally grown. I have 4 rental "units" here and love the positive feedback from my renters. Everyone is amazed at how beautiful, tranquil, and well-located Gaucin is, and ofc, how extraordinary my properties are - beauty and comfort.
Year purchased: 2000
