Rancho del Ingles has much to offer. There are three different houses on the property. La Casita, is over a century old while the rest of the property has evolved over the last 20 years. La Casita is a romantic setting for a couple or small family group while La Casa Grande, a few metres away is spacious, rustic yet grand, can accommodate 6/8. There is also a pool house with twin beds, shower and w/c, and two annexes, each with twin beds and en-suite shower/wc. The property is secluded but not isolated with many terraces and separate areas. Within the spacious grounds orange, lemon and avocado groves, woods, a stream and mature shrubs give a wonderful sense of well-being. The pool (with shallow end) is raised making it safer for toddlers. People of all ages love the space and freedom so much they often prefer to stay put than go exploring, but Granada, Cordoba and Seville are within 2 hours and the beach and white villages can be easily reached. Very handy for Malaga airport.

Notes on accommodation
Heating and air conditioning is provided in some but not all of the rooms. Many children have enjoyed staying at Rancho del Ingles. Toddlers must be watched carefully as although there are no cliffs or very high terraces there are several sets of steps both in La Casa Grande and in the grounds. The pool has a shallow end of about 1metre.

Outside
The gardens are extensive and beautiful with new plantings alongside established old shrubs and trees. Figs, pomegranates, avocados, lemons, oranges, clementines, almonds, walnuts, loquats, cherimoya and herbs can be picked according to season. There are at least 10 sunbeds. The pool with shallow end is 10x5m and might be shared (please enquire). It has solar heating which helps a little in the cooler months depending on hours of sunshine. Both La Casa Grande and La Casita have barbecues and outside eating areas.
