Attractive and welcoming self catering holiday cottage in genuine Andalucia

Great place"

A lovely villa in a quiet location. The pool and view were excellent. All facilities you would need for a wonderful stay."

We had a wonderful time here, and we'd love to come back in the future. It's a beautiful area, and just what needed for our trip. Thank you for hosting us!"

Charming house with beautiful view on the mountains. Nice swimming pool and cute places to sit around the house. All equipement is present and house is clean. Very good value for money!"

We spend a great holiday, cottage clean and quite, contact on site available. We also appreciated the informations rustica travel sent us (detailled, adapted tou our situation, ...)"

Our booking with Rustical was seamless. Great communication and pre-departure info. An easy, enjoyable and scenic drive from Malaga airport via the beautiful Ronda (stopping at the supermarket - very wise advice). Our property near El Gastor was perfect for the 3 of us. A stunning setting and a lovely, peaceful, clean and well looked after home set amongst olive groves. Even though we were there in a heat wave we were fine and the pool was joyous. We slept under the stars on the hottest nights and saw the biggest shooting star. Yolanda was a great host and nothing was too much trouble. When the water pump played up it was fixed immediately, and the tomatoes and water melon from Dads garden next door were so tasty. We explored the hills, dehesa and white villages, ate and drank well in El Gastor (early morning or late dinner after a long siesta) and drove to Cadiz and Granada for big days out. I hope we get chance to visit again sometime soon or we may try another Rustical property...they look inviting. Jonty and Mel Brunyee."

We had a lovely stay at this cottage. Yolanda welcomed us, and gave us tips for visits and hikes in the region. We enjoyed Zahara, Ronda and Cordoba. The pool was al little cold so early in april, but our daughters didn't mind. Beautiful 360° view of the surrounding hills from the many seating areas on the property. We loved it!"

Hello, we had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. I cannot say enough how beautiful it was. The seclusion, the view and the gardens were all awesome. Yolanda was just lovely and was on hand for anything we needed. Gracias Yolanda por todo, y espero que volvamos en el futuro otra vez :)"

The owners where very friendly and helpfull. The property was very clean, and the pool very inviting especially in the spanish summer heat. Also price quality relation was good. In the region you can visit may interesting locations although when we where there in august they closed the Sierra de Grazalema for walks interest the beautiful Mountain area because of fire hazard in august. But all in all we had such a good time there that we totally forgot the Day that we had to leave! Thanks to the friendly owners and the nice housecleaners this was resolved quickly. Thanks also for rustical travel for the good communication!"

The cottage was really great.The pool is really great especially after a day touring around.The views in all directions are stunning.A very relaxing holiday for myself and my wife.Directions to cottage from Rustical Travel excellent.Met by Toni and Mercedes to show us around.Excellent."

My wife and I spent a week at the lovely cottage enjoying the warm September sun. Yolanda who met us at the cottage was very helpful and pleasant giving us a full introduction to the holiday property. The cottage has all you need and is in a great location for exploring the area. There is a quiet country lane by the property but we did not find this an intrusion in any way as it's hardly used, only by a handful of locals travelling down the dead end to the lake. I would recommend walking down to the lake as the views are beautiful and the only noise are the crickets in the background. I would also like to thank Rustical Travel both for the very useful local guide pack and the precise instructions of how to get to the cottage, which cleverly included photos of road signs etc of the journey. We thought this a perfect place for a couple to stay with a lovely pool and various seating areas on the property for reading and relaxing. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday cottage !"

Thank you Rustical travel for having this lovely villa on your books. Everything about our stay was wonderful, Yolanda and her family were so welcoming and kind when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble, Yolanda made sure we knew she was contactable if we needed anything at all during our stay, which was reassuring. The villa is a beautiful retreat, perfect for couples or small families, wonderfully cool in the heat of the day, well laid out and everything supplied that you could possibly want or need for a holiday, the pool was a welcome addition too as was the day bed. The villa is close to the excellent roads too so easy to get out and about if you want too. With lovely views all around, wild flowers and birds in abundance, I was so excited to see the vultures and Bonellis Eagle, among many other birds. Not to mention the Andalucian horses happily grazing the hillside opposite the villa, the walk down to the lake was lovely for an early morning stroll and the walk back up got much easier as the week went on! We visited Ronda, El Gastor, Algodanales and Zahara (take a walk up to the tower if you are feeling energetic, views are spectacular) but our favorite place was Montecorto, just so pretty with the water running through, colourful flowers everywhere and some good walks through the forest. We have never visited Spain before and not being very fluent in Spanish I was a little worried that we may have made a mistake coming so far inland, I really needn't have worried, everyone we met was friendly, kind and helpful and made us feel very welcome, this definitely won't be our last trip. Rustical travel have been marvelous too, the map and detailed instructions were very helpful, although we did end up going the wrong way back to the airport (up and over the mountain instead of around) that was more pilot error than lack of instruction! Thank you Rustical travel and Thank you Yolanda and family for welcoming us to your beautiful home."

Wonderful cottage and great hospitality. We've liked our stay very much!"

Beautiful location and a cottage that we fell in love with. Yolanda and Antonio were so helpful, particularly when we arrived."

We were very impressed by the service, communication and attention to detail that Rustical Travel offered during the booking process so we had high expectations for our cottage. We weren't disappointed, our host Yolanda and her father Antonio were delightful and the cottage was all that we expected. The location of the cottage is also superb with so many beautiful villages within easy reach, and if you like hiking as we do, you're in for a real treat. The mountain paths around Grazelema are breathtaking and a dip in the cool (actually very cold!) natural pool at Cuevo el Gato was extremely refreshing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage and Rustical Travel to friends."

Excellent property, very nice owners. The property was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for a perfect stay. The owners have put a lot of care and thought into how the property is presented, we could not find anything about it that we did not like. As far as the outside was concerned we loved it, if we were to level any small criticism it would be that we would have liked a bit more privacy from the main road at the top of the lane. It is possible for passengers in passing traffic to look down towards the pool area, however this does not detract from the overall quality of the property and visitors enjoyment. We will visit again hopefully."
