About this property

Stunning country property with a private infinity pool and spectacular views

Finca la Luz is nestled in the country hillside, set in an acre of carob, olive and almond groves. With magnificent mountain top views and of the Castillo de Aguila (Castle of Eagles), said to date back to the Romans.

A 10 minutes walk up the rustic track and you arrive in the charming whitewashed village. A tangle of narrow, winding streets which was once a haven for brandy and tobacco smugglers. Here you will find authentic tapas bars, fabulous restaurants, supermarkets and unique shops.

Gaucin, the birthplace of opera’s most famous heroine Carmen, is situated in the idyllic Serrania de Ronda, 620 metres above sea level. The romantic pueblo blanco in Andalucia has been described by The Times as having the ‘Best views in Europe ‘ and The Telegraph as ‘the most picture-perfect of white-walled Spanish towns’. With the breathtaking landscape across the River Genal Valley, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco.

Gaucín is famous for the international artists living in the whitewashed village.
Hidden amongst the streets are the studios of more than 20 artists. They open up their doors to showcase their latest works during Art Gaucin which is held every year. A truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Local festivities are passionately celebrated in the village, from the summer feria where the local band march through the village, riders in sombreros and this year’s beauty queens in horse-driven carriages. Other celebrations include Easter, Santo Niño and more...

Visit the Roman ruins of the Castillo de Aguila, a 30 minutes walk from the Finca. Take in the breathtaking landscape and discover the charming chapel to Santo Niño. Opening times vary so ensure you check beforehand.

Surrounded by nature, you will hear the sound of the Cicadas In High Summer and
out on your country walks you will come across sheep, mules, horses, goats…

The Finca is to a high standard with a fitted kitchen with dishwasher, utility room where you will find the washing machine and iron and ironing board. Wood burning stove in the living area. Gas wall heaters throughout the Finca, WIFI, TV, DVD, Gas Barbecue. Parking for 4 cars.

The magnificent outdoor space is positioned over four levels - a master bedroom terrace that has spectacular 360 views, the kitchen terrace for alfresco dining, the Azul Moroccan room to chill out and the pool with plenty of space for sunbathing. All of which take in the majestic views of the Andalucian mountains and countryside with sun from dawn until dusk.

To have the most enjoyable stay ensure you read the Visitors Information Booklet at the Finca. You will find information regarding local walks, bird watching, horse riding, nearby sightseeing. We also offer in-house catering, massage, manicure and pedicure. You can also visit the village gym for a workout, spin class or Pilates.

1.5 hours drive from Malaga airport or 50 minutes drive from Gibraltar airport.

Beautiful views, peaceful location
This was our second stay at the Finca. It's absolutely beautiful in terms of both location and the thought that has gone into the rooms, decor, and facilities. We find we sleep really well, truly get some rest and relaxation and don't want to leave!

A little piece of paradise
This summer was our 7th holiday in Finca la Luz and it never, ever fails to recharge our spirits and make our souls sing! The villa is beautiful with a terrace full of little hideaways to curl up with a book, to meditate, to do a workout, or to simply drink a chilled glass of chardonnay. We spend our days in the pool gazing out at the surrounding view whilst reading, singing, or playing fiercely competitive games of water tennis. When we're not eating out at the local tapas bars or restaurants, we're making the most of the local deli and their takeaways, and chilling out on the verandah whilst watching shooting stars and playing cards. A holiday in Finca la Luz is quite simply respite for the soul; it is a little piece of paradise that our family is so grateful to Jonathon and Kyri for sharing.

Amazing location
This villa has it all. The location was perfect for us, proximity to the village and the coast with all amenities you could wish for. And the view, just spectacular from every angle. Great stay in a great villa.

Beautiful and relaxing
Our family with teenagers had a lovely stay in Jonathan and Kyri's villa. It was a perfect place to relax together (and separately!) while also enjoying some adventures in the surrounding area. The house and terraces are full of charming places to sit with a book or laptop (good wifi). The pool was an absolute delight, big enough to swim and with such amazing views. We really loved Gaucin castle as well, so to see it from the house and pool, including lit up at night, added to the magic of the place. When it is hot, the walk through town to the castle (or clamber round the rocks below it, using the description in the detailed walk book in the house) provides a short enough but still satisfying outing (castle open 6-8pm most but not all days). The drive along the track to reach the house is a bit daunting at first but you get used to it! Anyway you can walk to the excellent supermarket Ruiz Galan and all the restaurants. The beds are very comfortable and the showers all great. The upstairs blue-tiled bathroom is particularly lovely. The downstairs double bedroom is a bit difficult to air but we appreciated the fan and the bed is very comfortable. The kitchen terrace a wonderful place for family meals. Fantastic to have the utility room with washing machine and the extra courtyard for drying clothes. Clearly a lot of thought has been put into making this a spacious, luxurious place to enjoy a very relaxing holiday. Tip for local beaches: the best one we found was Playa de los Toros, pebbly and more cove-like than the rather featureless built-up beaches more common along the Costa del Sol. Good beach bar there as well and great for snorkelling among the rocks.
