About this property

Casa Cerretillo is a beautifully maintained, spacious, detached rustic house, with hints of the region’s Moorish past. It is nestled on El Cerretillo with uninterrupted and stunning views of the rolling olive hills, Mount Tinosa and the village of Algarinejo. Being situated along a short track just above the road means this quiet position is easily accessible. Enter from the private driveway into fully gated south facing patio and private 10x5 metre pool with sun terrace, this is a wonderful place to feel closer to nature whilst still enjoying all the creature comforts, TV and DVD player available (NB very limited channels only available on SAT TV). Enjoy the local flora and fauna - walking, cycling, riding, birdwatching (& almond blossom appreciating!). With the historical city of Granada only 1 hour and Iznajar lake and beach 30mins away and many historic villages locally - you get the best of both worlds. This 3 bed house with separate kitchen, dining room and lounge is perfect for a romantic get-away or family holiday.

Even better than before

This was our second visit to Ursula’s lovely house, the last being nine months previous. There have been some huge changes which made our stay even more enjoyable. There’s a new outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, gas hob, sink and fridge. It’s well lit, sheltered and provides excellent shade. There are new steps leading up to the pool which has also helped and there’s a new area for the sun loungers. A fabulous addition to what was already a great holiday rental. It’s a comfortable, extremely clean, well managed house with amazing views and a fabulous pool. Highly recommended for a peaceful break in the Andalucian hills.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location

We absolutely loved our time in Ursulas cottage. The view is really special, we were treated to deer running across the opposite hill and eagles flying overhead! There are plenty of very comfortable seating areas outside and a good amount of shade. The pool was spotless and a perfect size. The house was immaculate and the kitchen is very well equipped. Sheets and towels were changed mid way through our two week stay. Sue was so friendly and really helpful when it came to local advice. The local town of Algarinejo is friendly and relaxing with a handful of bars and restaurants and a small supermarket that has everything you need including a small daily fishmongers and butchers. Such a peaceful house in a beautiful place. We can’t recommend it enough.

Fabulous stay

We had a wonderful stay at Ursula’s beautiful house. Ursula, Sue and Mark were very helpful. This was a long awaited booking from 2020 and it was worth the wait. Beautiful views from the fabulous pool, we loved that the pool was the same depth throughout so was beautifully and warm. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the stunning view. The property is in a wonderful peaceful location , I will miss drinking my morning coffee watching the birds and family of deer just below the house . Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great family holiday in rural Andalucia

All the family loved the villa. It had everything we needed. My son especially enjoyed the pool. There are plenty of shady spots to avoid the hotter temperatures of the day. The location is stunning too, just a few miles away from Algarinejo up in the hills. We made trips to Seville, Granada and Cordoba which were accessable as day trips. I would recommend 100%

Long awaited holiday

We’d booked this holiday back in 2019 and like many others had to keep postponing due to the pandemic. Owners were great throughout and it was well worth the wait. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Ursula

Hi, I'm Ursula living in Essex, England with husband Mark, our son George, now 7 and dogs Bacco (who we rescued from Spain) and Scarlett.

Why they chose this property

The house is actually owned by my Dad who bought the house after coming to the area and seeing the view from my old ramshackle Cortijo about 10KM away. I spent a year in Spain refurbishing it all for him and we originally conceived it as a tiny B&B retreat where I could offer my holistic treatments but the arrival of both the recession and of George 9 years ago changed our focus slightly!

I fell in love with the area because the countryside is so beautiful and has incredible views and is still so undiscovered by tourists in general.

What makes this property unique

Our guests tell us that its an instantly relaxing place and that it feels very homely - helping you to feel like you instantly belong there! You can enjoy the lovely patios and private swimming pool in the hotter months.

The house is cosy in the winter and the cooler months - with a heating system (something that most houses don't have in southern Spain) as well as a wood burning stove where you can cosy up with a good book or watch some DVDs or TV. Its also a great base for walking - just head straight out from the house, or take a short trip into the village or to the Sierra Subbetica near Priego de Cordoba - we've seen some fantastic wildlife and birds of prey there.

We're proud of our eco credentials - we were the first house in the area to get solar panels and all the hot water is providing from the panels on the roof of the house.

We love to pick the almonds, figs, apricot and olives if we're there and enjoy the almond blossom in February/March. Please feel free to pick the fruit if you're there during late summer/early autumn. Please leave the nuts as they are not edible almonds.
