  • A truly beautiful apartment, with lots of history, character and space, lovely decor and furnishings, and gorgeous views from a stunning terrace. An equally beautiful pool area and sunbathing terrace below, again with stunning views. It's hard to leave the place to go in to town or sightseeing! We would highly recommend staying here. Fantastic.

  • My husband and I spent the month of January 2008 in this most fabulous apartment. From the moment we opened the door we knew we would love our stay! Afternoon lunches were enjoyed on the terrace with the sounds of the town surrounding us as we enjoyed the sun and the fabulous view. Day trips to Gibraltar, Cordoba, Ronda were all within easy distance, but it was always nice to get back. We will definitely return! Thank you Sylvia for creating this wonderful paradise. We fully agree with the other comments made in the guestbook. Great secrets can't be kept for ever!

  • " A home away from home " After long days trekking in the beautiful Andalucian mountains, we always said: Lets go home! And really meaning it. Have you ever said that while staying at a hotel? Going back to Rosa Alta was going home. Every night! We have travelled a lot, sometimes in luxury, but never experienced this feeling before. The discrete charm that surrounded us every moment. From the private poolside, the flowers, the sunset over Africa to the wonderful sound of silence that is so genuine for Gaucin. This is something you only should let your best friends know. Share it with the ones you love. We´ll be back! Eva & Göran Tell, Stockholm, Sweden

  • In “Rosa Alta”, a Spanish village house, elegance, comfort and authenticity are effortlessly blended, and many small touches demonstrate the pride Sylvia takes in providing a beautiful living environment for her guests. It is truly like being in one’s own home. We stayed here for the month of April, 2007, and wholeheartedly endorse the comments made in the guest book to date. This is so much more than a rental property – from its surprising spaciousness; double glazed windows and floor to ceiling doors; heating, air conditioning and two fireplaces with wood supplied; plus two super-large bathrooms, one with underfloor heating. An excellent queen size bed; towelling robes; a very generous supply of quality (ironed) bed linen and bath towels, as well as a comprehensive stock of basic cooking ingredients, really set this apartment apart from the many in which we’ve stayed during our various travels. Also provided is broadband internet with PC and large LCD screen, as well as wi- fi access - virtually essential these days but rare in Spanish lettings – together with a book selection from an excellent library.. For a couple especially, the apartment has an extremely workable floor plan, with flowing, yet well separated, deceptively large spaces. The living areas and both bedrooms enjoy ever changing valley, village and mountain views through a balcony with triple arches. We made good use of the second bedroom as an office/workroom, quite large enough for two people. We specially liked walking to everything in the village, being convenient to the coast while avoiding living in a tourist enclave, and the truly extraordinary beauty of the natural environment. Ample opportunities exist for fascinating day trips exploring neighbouring white villages, cork forests, and coastal towns. Ken Horsfall and Ruth Cotton, Australia.

  • We rented the Rosa Alta apartment for the month of Dec. and had a truly enjoyable & delightful stay. The aptmt is well furnished and very adequately equipped with all the facilities that one does not normally expect in a rental. It is large, clean and very well built. The wireless internet was an added bonus. The views are absolutely spectacular and the village is charming and very friendly. The little shops, stores, butcher shop and bakery have a great supply of almost everything. We also enjoyed the local restaurants which offer a good quality european cuisine. Sylvia, the owner, is very caring and accomodating. We commend her for offering this facility for rent and highly recommend it for its amenities and location. WE WILL RETURN !!

  • I rented both the Rosa Alta apartment, and the Moroccan Den from Syliva for the same week. For the price, you cannot beat these apartments. They are wonderfully decorated, well equipped, share a beautiful pool and views that won't quit. I've stayed in the neighboring Casares, in their best available apartments, and it cannot compare. The pictures do not do these apartments justice; they are much, much nicer and very large.

  • Our weeks stay at the 'Rosa Alta' apartment capped off a fortnights honeymoon spent exploring the andulucian region & what a way to round off a holiday of special significance. 'Luxury Flat' as it is described in the brief is no overstatement either. Quite often a summer break can be tarnished if the weather doesn't perform for you & it is only perhaps then that you discover the shortcomings of your holiday accommodation. Not so in this case. So enticing was the apartments appeal that it was quite often a toss up between staying in or heading out, even when the sun was shining with all it's glory. For anyone with an appreciation of aesthetics this place really does stimulate the senses. The contents range from the weird (stuffed crocodiles, day of the triffids-esque plant life) to the wonderful (floor to ceiling mosaic walk-in showers, panoramic vistas over Gibraltar & Morocco) & the whole apartment enjoys a very extravagant yet subtle, chic feel. The private infinity pool, for which you have exclusive access, is also rather special with sliding patio doors at one end revealing a breathtaking rural backdrop. The village itself is a charming, whitewashed tangle of narrow, twisting streets & possesses quite a bohemian flavour. The few restaurants there are predominantly english run & all boast surprising a la carte, modern european cuisine. For anyone wishing to escape the madness of urban life for a while, this superb accommodation set within a quite stunning mountain village could not be recommended any higher.

  • This is a stunning apartment in a beautiful building with incredible views. The terrace is wonderful and the whole place is hugely relaxing - we loved it. The high speed internet access is a major bonus. Gaucin is a quiet town in a beautiful area, well away from the crowds. We will return!
