Rental apartment with terraces in Gaucin, Ronda mountains

There is a quiet thrill to Gaucin. It is one of those desirable village destinations that people take to for its smart, well-kept style, its Andalusian atmosphere and location. It sits atop a ridge from where it dominates the valley. Views stretch as far as Gibraltar and on clear days even Morocco can be glimpsed.

This sunny apartment in the lovely old quarter of Gaucin is on two floors, one above street level and the other higher still, guaranteeing excellent views.

It is a very attractive home with a pleasant personality, clean and white, balanced with soft colours and a decoration of simple elegance. There are terracotta tiles, beamed ceilings, old restored doors and quality furnishings. The views of the village and the valley from windows and terraces are spectacular.

The first floor is taken up by an open plan kitchen-dining-sitting room and two terraces with expansive views. One terrace is small and shaded, just right for hotter days; the other is perfect for enjoying meals with the village, valley and mountain ridges spread out before you.

On the upper floor are the two bedrooms and bathroom.

Gaucin is one of inland Malaga's most enduringly satisfying destinations. You can find out more in the Gaucin holiday guide in Rustical Travel's Undiscovered Spain series.

For day trips, you are spoilt for choice: the historic town of Ronda is just 40 minutes away, the Costa beaches even less. Gibraltar is only one hour away. And nearer at hand are traditional villages such as Genalguacil or Jimena de la Frontera: well worth a visit. Books are available with information on the superb trekking to be done around Gaucin. During summer months the village has a very well-maintained public swimming pool.
