Romantic cottage in the woods with lush gardens and Mediterranean views

The house itself is perfectly equipped and decorated with warmth and meaning. The views are absolutely stunning, they surround the house and are truly breathtaking. The pool is the perfect temperature and an incredibly relaxing place to be. One can spend hours there without realising! It really is a wonderful oasis and would definitely return again."

Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, la casa es amplia, cómoda y acogedora, está decorada con muy buen gusto, el porche amueblado y el jardín exuberante, ambos llenos de rincones para disfrutar las vistas, especialmente desde la piscina. Estaríamos encantados de repetir."

This is a beautiful property inside and out. It was very clean and well equiped with everything you could possibly need. The linen and towels were of very good quality. It is extremely comfortable and the gallery library is so enjoyable to dip into. Outside the garden is a joy and obviously created with skill and love. The pool is well maintained with amazing views. All in all a perfect choice for us. The agent Esther was very knowledgeable and helpful."

This villa is very special indeed. The house has everything you could wish for and more (well equipped kitchen, comfortable super king bed, walk in wardrobe) and the outside space is delightful (unbelievable views over the mountains, a wonderful pool area, lovely gardens and lots of different areas to sit and relax). This was, by far, the best villa we have ever stayed in. We are the sort of family that likes to go out and about every day sight seeing but we didn't want to leave as we loved the property so much that we barely left apart from to get food. We were so happy just pottering and relaxing in and around the house and gardens. We did pop into Gaucin a couple of times, had some lunch and walked around the castle. We also discovered a lovely walk along a river which was beautiful and then stopped for lunch in a mountain village. Such a beautiful area. There were four of us (2 adults, 2 kids aged 9 and 6) and we all fell in love with the place and the incredible views. Thank you. Our next holiday has to a lot to live up to!"

An idyllic location with awesome views and excellent facilities - simply breathtaking. However, the gardens were certainly not lush and I have already advised the key holder that the irrigation system was not working properly. In addition, I was a little disappointed with the general upkeep of the garden and spent the first day watering the tubs and dead-heading a number of summer flowering shrubs."

Fantastic property and excellent service. Everything was as we hoped."

Fabulous property (beautiful inside, great views, magic garden). The kitchen could be cleaner."

I stayed here with my husband from 14 to 21 July 2018. There is a very long track up to the house, about 4-5 minutes drive with plenty of space to park. The house is beautiful and rustic with everything you need. The gardens and pool were amazing and we also loved to sit on the sofas on the wonderful terrace. There are spectacular views every way you look and total privacy. We only went out twice to get provisions and had the most relaxing holiday ever. I highly recommend this property if you want peace and quiet. A big thank you to Javier, Brett and Esther at Rustical Travel for being so helpful from start to finish. Highly recommended."

What a lovely, cosy house to stay for two weeks! We could easily stay three. What a view and tranquility! We were very lucky to witness the lunar eclipse while at home in Belgium it was cloudy. We saw a lot of vultures circling the sky every day. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We lived outside because the weather was perfect and not too hot for august. There is enough shade at several places. The swimming pool has a wonderful view on the valley. Gaucin is a very nice white authentic village. A lot of nice restaurants and bars for tapas and more and shops to buy deliscous Spanish food. There is a lot to see in the surroundings and the recommendations from the owners and the keyholder helped us a lot. We really felt at home here and took a lot of sweet memories back home! We'll be back!"

We had a wonderful time at this property, after booking and waiting nearly a year and looking at the pictures occasionally wishing for our holiday to come around, then finally arriving, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The property was exactly the same as the pictures, simply stunning. It was very spacious and even cool in the summer months with a light breeze. The kitchen had every conceivable thing that you would need, just like at home and we felt right at home from the moment we stepped inside. It has a lovely feel to this property and that's the difference between it and other rental properties, it really is a home. We loved the garden and pool area, I'm a gardener and that was what drew me to the property in the first place, plus the amazing view. We loved sitting under the palm tree relaxing, or sitting on the terrace just looking at the beautiful view. We really didn't want to leave and would love to go back one day, its a very special place and we feel lucky to have stayed in it."
