Although there are 8 bedrooms, the property is best suited for 10 people or 12 at most. The tables, chairs, and terrace space are not ideal for more than 10-12 people. The lower floor bedrooms are more rustic and better for daytime rest or older children seeking privacy.

Bedroom 8 on the lower level, next to the pool, is accessible only from the outside. It features a small fridge and en suite facilities that can serve as a shared toilet for the pool level.

Overview

Stunning Upper Floor

The villa's standout feature is undoubtedly the upper floor, which boasts an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.

The glass door panels open onto a furnished terrace offering breathtaking views. This space is perfect for cooking, gathering, and enjoying indoor and outdoor activities. The bright and attractive design makes it a pleasant place to spend the day.

Room Layout and Furnishings

The bedrooms offer a variety of bed sizes to accommodate different preferences, and while some rooms have a minimalist design, it adds to the villa’s simple and no-frills charm. Though some bedrooms and bathrooms have limited storage space, the overall functionality is sufficient for a comfortable stay. The light blinds in some rooms allow for plenty of natural light, enhancing the airy atmosphere. The Ikea furnishings give the villa a clean and modern look, contributing to its welcoming and relaxed feel.

Ongoing Improvements

The property is still being improved, and the owners are actively making improvements. This dedication suggests that the villa has great potential and is already becoming a popular choice for groups.

Despite some drawbacks, the positives of this villa are significant, making it a unique and appealing option.

Historical Charm and Modern Amenities

This villa is one of Gaucin's historic houses, transformed through a substantial renovation project.

The lower floors still feature the original cellars where local wine was once made, but they are now partially converted into a game room. This area also provides access to the pool terrace, another property highlight.

Prime Location

The villa's location is another strong point. Situated in one of Andalucia's most cherished villages, Gaucin, it is a short stroll away from numerous tapas bars and restaurants.

While the villa is located on a quiet street at the edge of the village, it is surrounded by other houses, offering a wonderful view of the village. This means it may not provide the privacy of an isolated country home, but the convenience of being within walking distance of local amenities is a significant advantage.

Safety Considerations

Families with small children should note that it is advisable to lock the door leading to the lower floor and pool area for safety.

YOUR REVIEWS

Leonor | June | 2024

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in Gaucin. The house is high-spec and full of charm. The spacious kitchen/living area features large bifolding doors that open onto a wide balcony, and the ground floor remains cool and tranquil. Gaucin, a previously unknown area of Spain to us, turned out to be a real gem. From the balcony, the house offers stunning panoramic views of the village, making it a magical spot for evening relaxation. In addition to plenty of relaxation and sunbathing at the house, we spent our time walking, cycling, and swimming—the house pool is perfect for cooling off—and exploring the area by car. The village boasts several excellent outdoor bars, cafes, and restaurants, and the countryside and fantastic views are truly inspiring. Thomas and Elizabeth were fantastic hosts, always helpful and quick to respond. Additionally, there is someone local available to assist if needed, which was very reassuring. Thank you, Elizabeth and Thomas, for all your recommendations on activities and places to visit. We’ll definitely be back!

This villa is excellent and spacious, offering ample indoor and outdoor areas. The entire house is modern and tastefully decorated. The bedrooms provide privacy, and the bathrooms are clean. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for cooking, socializing, and enjoying a glass of wine. We did yoga and workouts on the terrace in the mornings. The pool, located at the bottom of the property, is brand new and was a great spot for afternoon beers. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive. We were greeted by a friendly local resident who answered all our questions. The convenience of having a washing machine and secure space for bikes was great. The property is centrally located, making it easy to walk to bars and restaurants. We had a fantastic time and would definitely stay again.
