A total delight, an extremely well-appointed house, a wonderful rural retreat.

It was the best equipped of any gite we've ever stayed in. Our hosts, Nicky and Rupert, were extremely kind and helpful and the tiny village setting was ideal as a place for complete relaxation.

Fantastisch plekje in de bergen in authentiek vakantiehuis

Vorig jaar zomer boekten wij dit idylische vakantiehuis met fantastisch uitzicht op de beregn en vallei. Een ruim opgezet vakantiehuis in authentieke stijl. Het weggetje naar het huisje was erg stijl en zonder hulp moeilijk te vinden. Vandaar dat devriendelijke eigenaars ons opwachten bij het benzine station onderaan de weg en ons voor reden naar het vakantie huis. Eenmaal bij het goed ingerichte vakantie huis was de koelkast gevuld om een eerste dag door te komen zonder boodchappen te hoeven doen. Je hebt wel een auto nodig maar strand is op 10 min. rijden. Het gedeelte van spanje waar het huis zich bevindt is nog niet overspoeld door toerisme waardoor zelfs het strand heerlijk rustig was. En in de omgeving nog authentieke tapa's gratis bij je drankje geserveerd worden. Enige minpunt van de locatie midden zomer waren de vele vliegen in dit gedeelte van spanje. Tip: Door zwenk ventilators op het terras te zetten kun je ze verdrijven.

Awesome scenery, a house that caters for your every want and need, and impeccable hosting

A six week stay that went so fast. The property catered for our every want and need. Our two dogs loved the breathtaking surrounding hills and all the walks that came with the property. The local beach and nearest town with shops and amenities are a ten to fifteen minute drive away and were more than adequate for our wants and needs. The main mediterrean motorway that can take you from Almeria in the East to Malaga,Marbella and Gibralter in the West and up to the Sierra Nevada and Granada to the North, is a ten minute drive from the property, if exploring the diverse region of Andalucia is on your "to do list". Our hosts and owners, Nicky and Rupert, (and their two dogs, May and Monty),are genuinely lovely, and available should you need to ask any questions or advice, without invading any privacy. The property description was extremely accurate We have never recommended a property as highly as Cortijo Paco, in over thirty years of travelling all over the world. We would return without any hesitation.

great place

We had an excellent time in Nicky and Rupert's house. The house was clean, so well decorated, peaceful atmosphere. Nicky an Rupert were so nice with us. We had everything we needed in the house even a full fridge! We felt even better than at home. It is the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing holiday. Our kids were delighted with the surroundings of the house, they could play ine the village, building sheds.... and they also loved the legos for them in the house, the beach games ...... A huge thank to Nicky and Rupert!

About the host

Hosted by Nicky Lawrence

Having moved to Spain with my husband Rupert in 2008, we enjoy living in the peaceful little village of El Ferrer, escaping the hurried life style of England now we can spend our time at the coast on relaxed beaches, only a short drive away. Or perhaps visting Malaga, the Alpujarron villages, the famous City of Granada, not to mention a little skiing in the Sierra Nevada Resort, what more could we ask for. So come and join us,

Why they chose this property

For the peace and quite, but not to far to travel to the coast or surrounding countryside

What makes this property unique

The village is approx 7.5 kms (10/15 minutes) from the coastal town of Castell de Ferro, with its beaches, bars, restaurants and shops. Within easy drive to the numerous beaches along the coast and historical sites within the area. The combination of peace and quiet in the mountains and the close proximity to the coast make it a great place for those wanting to get away from it all.
