Everybody likes Gaucin village, but you might be wanting some countryside peace-and-quiet, as well. A villa with a pool and views, even. This is a particularly good example of what happens when excellence in taste and building combine, and it’s situated at just 3 minutes’ walk (uphill, mind!) to the village.

This thoroughly stylish villa has plus points everywhere you look. To begin with, the accommodation is first class. Rooms are harmoniously crafted in classic Mediterranean white and set off by rich colours in terracotta flooring, rugs and decoration.

The generous spaciousness is amplified by natural light spilling through large windows, and the views from these are as good as you’ll find anywhere in Andalucia. Far and wide across the hills and out over the Mediterranean Sea. If you look carefully at our photo of the view, those mountain tops you see in the distance are in Morocco.

The villa has several terraces and stepped gardens where you can enjoy the vistas, have drinks or dine al fresco. It’s completely private and tranquil. The large, salt-water swimming pool situated alongside the villa offers the same views. There’s plenty of sunbathing space around the pool and sunloungers are provided. Behind it rises Gaucin’s Hacho mountain.

The villa is built on the hillside with a ground floor and a lower floor. “Wonderfully laid out,” commented a previous guest. There are two double bedrooms with kingsize beds and a third bedroom with two individual beds. All have en suite bath or shower rooms, ceiling fans and views.

The living room is especially smart and comfortably furnished and it comes equipped with DVD, satellite TV and wifi internet. Double-glazed sliding doors open to a large, covered terrace with a dining table. Guests coming in wintertime have underfloor central heating.

A very ample (25 m²) kitchen has a dining table so that it can double as a breakfast room. There’s a large cooker, double fridge, dishwasher and microwave.

And if the 3 minutes’ uphill walk to Gaucin’s shops, café-bars and restaurants seems daunting, you can drive there in seconds from your private parking. Note that car access is somewhat steep and narrow, but perfectly negotiable in a normal car.

All in all, the perfect combination of a very fine Andalusia holiday villa indeed and a fabulous setting. Gaucin (see location on Ronda map) has more facilities to offer the visitor than most village destinations in the Ronda mountains and Rustical Travel will send you personal recommendations for restaurants, tapas bars, activities and excursions in the area with your Booking Confirmation.

The beaches – and golf for the aficionados – of the Costa del Sol are just half an hour away and walking opportunities abound. Gaucín itself has some wonderful walks (we’ll send you a sample with your booking) and not far away are three Natural Parks: Sierra de Grazalema, Los Alconorcales and Sierra de las Nieves.
