About this property

Lovely 3 bedroom cottage in quiet valley, organic gardens, private fenced pool

Lovely 3 bedroom villa (sleeps 6) in a delightfully remote, countryside location surrounded by cultivated farmland and Mediterranean forest. All modern conveniences and décor is warm and cheerful. Private fenced off pool. Bedroom 1 and 2 with double beds. Bedroom 3 with twin beds. Two complete bathrooms, one en-suite with shower, the other with bath. Open plan kitchen, dining, living room. Modern and fully equipped. Washing machine (placed in bathroom).
HD Television with all the Spanish channels up to date (some can be set to bilingual audio) and access to Netflix and YouTube.
Shelves full of books and guides (in Spanish, Dutch, English and French). Original prints, photos and paintings on the walls give the place a personal touch.

The Spanish/Dutch owners live in the valley as self-sufficiently as possible, running a (certified) organic vegetable and fruit garden, while offering their holiday home to nature lovers, families, bird spotters, hikers, peace seeking couples and anyone who looks for a relaxed place to spend their holidays.

Access to the house is through paved country roads (with exception some 200 meters in the middle). At the end a sharp curve and steep descending slope, accessible to any type of car.

Ronda, just 8 km away, Ronda is one of the most beautiful cities of Andalusia, steeped in history. It stands on a towering plateau in the mountains of the province of Malaga. This mighty promontory ensured that Ronda was an impregnable fortress for the Christian armies until the end of the Reconquista. The plateau is split in two by the gap, 'El Tajo', and is the natural separation between the old and the new Ronda. This gap is spanned by a stone bridge, Puente Nuevo and once housed a prison underneath.

The shopping area of Ronda, where some of the traditional shops still maintain, is located in the new part of town.
However, the most enchanting walks can be found in the old town where the Moorish and Roman atmosphere can be inhaled in every street corner.

Nearby village of Arriate provides with banks, small supermarkets and other stores that you need on a daily basis. This charming village is also known for its cheap & cheerful tapas bars and also has a few high quality restaurants.

Ronda lies very central to all the cities that are worth visiting and can easily be travelled in one day, such as Cordoba (Mezquita), Granada (Alhambra-book well in advance!), Seville (Giralda and Reales Alcazares), Malaga (Picasso Museum) and Gibraltar and Marbella/Costa del Sol.

Lovely property, very clean and comfortable, good outside space and lovely pool. Owners very friendly. Can walk to village in just over 20 minutes, good location and less than 30 minutes drive to Ronda, which is well worth a visit.

Relaxing holidays at a fabulous place
Thanks to Lies' perfect description, we found the house very easy! It's a lovely place! It's quite clean, plenty of room... We've been welcomed very friendly with a big pack of potatoes and vegetables from the garden. Our Kids loved the pool! Every day they jumped in, after our tours to Ronda and many sightseeing all around. Whenever we come back to Andalusia, it's sure we stay here again!

Wonderful dream of a place
My wife and I stayed here for two months with our boys, ages 4 and 6, in 2010. It was one of the most wonderful vacations of our lives. The cottage is wonderful and pool perfect for our boys. Lies and her husband were just great hosts. We walked to town every day, hiked the hills, and took the bus to Ronda once a week. The organic farm is a great thing for children to see. We fed the chickens with our table scraps. If you would like a quiet getaway in a gorgeous setting, with wonderful hosts, and a short ride to Ronda, this is the perfect place! We miss our time there and hope to go back some time.

a lovely week near Arriate
We spent a week at this lovely house which was clean and well-equipped. The owners were very helpful buying in supplies for us as we arrived on a national holiday. We also enjoyed the organic vegetables they supplied. We all loved the swimming pool and terrace. Arriate was a lovely small town in walking distance and we had some great day trips to Setenial de Las Bodegas and Cueva de la Pileta. Would thoroughly recommend this for familes. A feast of good books and games were also supplied.

About the host

Hosted by Lies Wajer

Host profile image
Francisco was born and raised in Ronda. He knows the country very well and is a passionate lover of nature and organic farmer. Lies is Dutch and came from Amsterdam to live in Andalusia in 1995. Both their son Santiago was born in 1998.
Francis and Lies try to live as self-sufficient as possible. Francis maintains and processes the gardens, while the Lies rents out the, for this purpose built holiday home. She will also do the odd jobs and is dedicated to art photography.

This house is ideal for nature lovers, families, birdwatchers, walkers and anyone looking for a relaxing place to spend their holidays. And to make communication a lot easier Francis speaks English while Lies fluent Dutch, Spanish and English speaking, can express herself reasonably well in French and understands German and Portuguese (but speaks less fluently!)

Why they chose this property

When they came to live in the valley in 1999, it was a bare plot of land only used for breeding goats. But they immediately recognized its potential and fell in love with the peaceful tranquility that the valley breathes.

While trying to make a living and raising their son, over the years and step by step, they have tried to develop the place to be a perfect holiday spot for everyone from all over the world who looks for comfortable holidays.

What makes this property unique

The valley has a peaceful and a very rural feel. You are 'off the world', but within walking distance from civilization. And because you are surrounded by an organic vegetable garden, you can profit from the availability of all seasonal homegrown produce.

The fascinating city of Ronda is centrally located for trips to Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, Malaga and the Costa del Sol.

Summers know long warm days and cool nights. And in winter you breathe the fresh clean mountain air of Ronda.

A big plus for families with small children as the pool is securely fenced. Moreover, it is home to small children prepared with toys, books, cot and high chair and little 'fragile decorative objects '..
