Previously an old Andalusian farmhouse, this villa has retained much of its traditional charm. Located just 10 kilometres from Ronda, this home’s rural location offers plenty of peace and privacy. Situated in a beautiful valley, you’ll be surrounded by natural parks like the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, so you’re ideally positioned to enjoy some long walks with your canine companion. There’s a separate one-bedroom apartment here, which may appeal to a couple or any teenagers in the group who want their own space. Outside you’ll have a lawned garden to relax in, featuring a private pool, hammocks, a barbecue and a shaded dining area.

Home truths

    This home consists of two separate buildings – the main house and an apartment around 30m away with its own bedroom and bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a small double bed, which is best suited for children.

    We think fourteen guests will be a squeeze here, as the living area and kitchen aren't the biggest.

    On request, one well-behaved dog under 10kg is welcome to accompany you during your stay.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.

    There's free private parking available here. Due to the location of this home, we suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

    The traditional and dated decor here might not be to everyone's taste.
