Comfort and style abound in this two-bedroomed “house with a view.”

The atmosphere created inside is welcoming, pastel colours complemented by equally soft, indirect lighting. Good decisions on fabrics work together with old restored doors, beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and details like Moroccan tiled tables to achieve the kind of harmonious balance that allows you to feel immediately at home. Decoration is appropriate and attractive, mainly in the form of paintings by local artists.

The house is arranged on two floors and has access to a third floor with a roof terrace.

You come in to an inviting sitting room with comfortable room for four people. It has a wood burning stove for cooler months. Separated by an archway is the dining area, although for less formal meals you may prefer the interior patio, which is reached via a spacious and well-equipped kitchen.

The fresh, whitewashed patio is typically Andalusian. Breakfasts here feel very civilized! And it has a nice plunge pool for later in the day when the temperature peaks.

Upstairs there are two en-suite bedrooms, each very pleasant and full of traditional character. The double has a full bathroom and its own small terrace looking onto Gaucin’s mountain scenery (see Gaucin location on Ronda map): a fantastic spot to wake up in the morning and breathe in the fresh air. The other room, a twin, has a shower room and plenty of natural light from two windows.

Up steps from here, the roof terrace is excellent for sunbathing (there are sun beds provided) or relaxing with a drink, admiring views of the village, the castle and the distinctive rocky ridge above it. In the distance you can see the Straits and Rock of Gibraltar.

Gaucin is a great base for day trips. Historic Ronda, just 40 minutes away, is high on most people’s list, but smaller places closer by – traditional villages such as Genalguacil or Jimena de la Frontera – are well worth a visit and stopping by for a meal. Gibraltar is an hour away and the beaches of the Costa del Sol 35 minutes. For those keener on walking than driving, there are books with information on some great trekking around Gaucin.
