Overview
An archway invites you to go up four steps to a comfy, light-filled living room lined with interesting books. Books and steps are a theme of this property, making it an interesting prospect for those who like to explore…
French windows open to a beautiful covered patio, furnished with very comfortable armchairs and sofas and a broad table. It’s semi-enclosed, open to the view, the kind of place you could spend hours, enjoying meals, reading, sipping cold drinks. There’s an extra fridge here with that in mind.
Internal stairs and external steps lead to four bedrooms and the pool area and gardens.
The highest double bedroom is a spacious attic room with its own small sitting room, and is reached up steepish wooden steps. The view from here is simply superb.
The lowest double room, the freshest in the hot summer, has its own external entrance and is right by the pool area.
The swimming pool is delicious, with steps down into an avocado shaped interior, into which water trickles musically. There’s a secluded corner with sunloungers for lazy hours. It’s all ensconced within gardens that are fragrant with jasmine and honeysuckle, decorated with bougainvillea and planted with plum and almond trees, palm and pomegranate.
The pool is maintained year-round at this very warm, south-facing Ronda location, but not heated, so we wouldn't recommend winter swims. But when we were there in late October, the weather was still very warm.
Winter bookings are otherwise definitely suitable here. The house is well-heated, with panel radiators in all bedrooms and wood stoves.
There are plenty of good opportunities for eating out both in Montecorto and nearby villages and we’ll send you our recommendations, along with a host of holiday ideas, as one of your holiday documents.
Rambling the Natural Park of the Sierra de Grazalema is an immediate attraction and there are a host of other routes.The owner is a professional author of walking guides and his books will be available for your use while on holiday: a real bonus.
Other activities are offered by the turquoise lake of El Gastor-Zahara, just down the road for canoeing or paddle boats, while paragliding and horseriding are both possible locally.
The Virgen del Carmen local fiestas in Montecorto normally take place around the 16th of July; if you stay at the property during those dates you will be able to enjoy plenty of events, music, dance and shows in the village, especially during the Friday and Saturday.
Ronda, one of Andalucia's star turns, is only 20 minutes away along a good road, and Sevilla, Jerez, Cádiz and Granada are all day trip options.
Location
Top of hillside village just below woodland next to Grazalema Natural Park.
At the top of Montecorto village (simple shopping and café bar-restaurants, bank, pharmacy).

YOUR REVIEWS
The villa was charming and generously sized with comfortable rooms and places to eat and relax in. The a/c in the bedrooms providing welcome relief in the midst of a heatwave. Some of the information/guide in the villa needs updating, it predates to 2021. The internet was patchy and it wasn’t possible to use Netflix etc. There is a tiny, portable electric grill available to use outside but it wasn’t set up or in a convenient location so outside cooking or BBQing wasn’t practical. The oven inside was fine but not great for cooking on for more than a couple of people."

We loved everything about it. The location was fantastic , very easy to visit nearby towns and villages including Ronda. The villa had a very homely , comfortable feel. In was lovely to be in such a vibrant , small village where we could get fresh bread, fish and groceries only a short walk away. All in all perfect. ❤️"
+ Read moreThe villa is lovely - spacious and comfortable and in a great location for Ronda and the white villages. We loved the choice of outside areas , relaxing by the pool, enjoying the tranquility. We were grateful for the quiet and efficient air conditioning in the bedrooms too. Pacqui and Miranda went above and beyond to help us when my father ended up in hospital in Ronda and allowed us to stay at the villa until he was well enough to fly home. Montecorto is a very friendly place and we enjoyed shopping and having coffees there. The scenery is spectacular and we’d love to return to experience more of the local walks."
+ Read moreOur stay at El Tejar was fabulous . Set at the top of a beautiful village with stunning views all around . The villa is beautiful with lots of Rustic charm . The local people were very welcoming . Easy access to the main roads to Ronda and other cities for day trips . The villa was large and suited our family of 7 comfortably. Please be aware there are many steps in the villa in every single room, the stairs to one bedroom are quite lethal . For this reason the villa wouldn’t be suited for the elderly and very young children , it was okay for us but some would struggle . Absolutely would recommend 100 % we loved our stay here ."
+ Read moreThis was the second time using Rustical Travel, they are brilliant from start to finish, no problems and everything was straight forward. El Tejar is a fantastic place to stay, it had everything we needed and the pool was great. Inside was always cool, so we all slept well and didn't need to use the air conditioning. Paqui and Miranda are very approachable and are happy to help out when needed, we can't thank them enough."
+ Read moreLoved everything about it. Paqui also delightful"
+ Read moreA unique - private villa located in a lovely little village. Enough space for all 8 people to spread out or gather together. Swimming pool is perfect and the ping-pong table added some fun for us. The village has enough to offer including a fresh fish market on certain days and the locals are all friendly. Only minor complaints would be a very slow running hot water faucet in the kitchen and some of the outdoor furniture could use some updating but not enough of an issue to give this experience anything less than 5 stars."
+ Read moreWe just stayed here with our five teens in mid April. The setting and the house itself are beyond stunning. Not only would we rent it all over again but would consider coming here every year if we could. Paqui, the housekeeper, was an added bonus. Amazing place and area."
+ Read moreWe found this property to be an oasis. Absolutely wonderful house and garden. What a view sitting at the picnic table! Everything we needed was there, and how spoilt to be able to ask Paqui to kindly cook one of her dishes from time to time. Montecorto is unspoilt and not at all touristy, something we were glad of. If we were to make any criticism at all it would be that the appliances are a little dated. Not that this detracted from what was an idyllic holiday."
+ Read moreThis was a perfect location for a family get together. We loved the villa itself with the great views of the countryside. The conversion from the old buildings to the current house was tastefully done, keeping much of the original to give a great atmosphere but with enough modernisation to make living very comfortable. The location in Montecorto was ideal for us as we very much enjoyed being in a genuine village with bar and shops within easy walking distance but also close enough to Ronda and some of the white towns to make for good day visits. We have holidayed in many villas in Spain over the last twenty years but we all felt this was one of our favourites. We hope to be back again one day."
+ Read moreWe had a fantastic holiday at property RD28. On arrival we had a note from the owner welcoming us and giving his contact number should we need any help and also a delicious bottle of wine which was a very thoughtful. The house was amazing, clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The pool area was good with plenty of sun beds and parasols. The views from the property are beautiful. The location of the property was ideal with an easy stroll into the delightful village of Montecorto to buy any supplies needed or to have a drink or meal. Pacqui who came in to clean every day was very helpful and despite our lack of any Spanish we managed to communicate and she quickly sorted out the problem that occurred when the water was cut off. Rustical Travel were a very easy company to book with and I would definitely recommend both the agent and the property."
+ Read moreLovely house in a good location. Happy with everything. The only thing I would mention is that the steps within the house and outside are huge and plentiful! We are all fit and able bodied but even we found them challenging. I think it's probably unsuitable for young children under say the age of 8 and certainly for older people. Otherwise all good.
