About this property

Elegant restored Cortijo in spectacular landscape at 5 min. from Ronda

Great traditional Andalusian "cortijo" at 5 minutes from Ronda, perched on cliff over the river Guadalevín, and with stunning views of Ronda. Recently refurbished and very fresh in the hot months, the house has 2 living-rooms, 5 double bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and a dining room seating 12. The formal garden around the house has a water reservoir with fresh spring water that functions as a swimming pool and measures 8x8 m.

The house is constructed on 2 floors. On entrance level, there are: a large living room with a fireplace, tv and access to a large terrace with lovely views of the countryside; an ample and fully equipped kitchen with a dining table for 8-10; a dining-room seating 12; 2 double bedrooms each with its own bathroom; a bedroom with 2 beds and another 2 extra beds; and another independent bathroom. On the lower floor are: a large family room with a tv; and 2 double bedrooms each with its own bathroom.

In front of the house there is a large terrace with a pergola and dining tables for 12.

Around the house are lovely formal gardens, with impressive views of Ronda.

This country house has a stunning spring water pool (an “alberca”) measuring 8 x 8 m. and that originally dates from the XII century and was built in Arab times. In the old days the alberca was the main source of water for the house, and it is only filled up with the most natural water coming straight from the mountains surrounding the estate. We preserve its original and ecological conditions by only adding the most natural products available. As you will see the water is tremendously fresh and invigorating. We hope you enjoy this marvellous spring water pool as much as our ancestors! Next to it is a terrace with comfortable deck chairs.

The Guadalevín river runs below the house, and its clean waters are inviting for a beautiful and refreshing swim.

The property has 2.450.000 m2 of stunning landscapes, which offer the opportunity for long hikes, bicycle tours or walks on horseback through virgin nature.

Walking holiday
We are a group of woman who have been going on walking holidays for the last 15 years and we all have particular wants and needs from our holiday but we were all of the view that this was the best property yet!! Absolutely wonderful location but only put 4 stars under accuracy of listing as it certainly wasn't 5 minutes to Ronda as it took at least 10 minutes to make it down the driveway!!

Algunas incidencias con el saneamiento, cómo duchas que no tragan, cisterna que no funciona, mal olo
Mal olor en los baños y problemas de saneamiento en general El lugar donde está ubicado y el cortijo en sí, son espectaculares

Fantastisk unik beliggenhed
Et idyllisk sted med mulighed for afslapning, hiking direkte uden for døren og mange seværdigheder at køre til. Meget tæt på Ronda, en skøn by.

Lovely house
The most beautiful house with so much character and space. We absolutely loved our three days here. The great family room with cozy fireplace was where our family gathered every evening. We stayed there during a crazy storm that washed the bridge out and flooded the area, it was insane and we ended up being stuck at the house for 24 hours with no water because the storm broke a pipe. It was inconvenient but Salvador was so kind and checked in on us multiple times and brought us bottled water to drink. It was an adventure for sure! Gorgeous home and surrounding area. If the weather would have been more cooperative we would have loved to have explored the beautiful grounds. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and the showers had great water pressure. It was clean and tidy and stocked with everything you’d need to cook a big family dinner. It was our favorite home to stay in during our time in Spain. Would recommend this house to anyone!
