  • I stayed in these apartments and was completely amazed by the vista, the clear air, the view of Gibraltar and the incredible friendliness of everyone in this small mountain village. I can highly recommend these accomodations to anyone!

  • This apartment is a lovely honest apartment that does what it say on the tin. Fully equipped - 2 bathrooms, air con, washing machine, microwave, wired for sound – and scrabble and some good books. Views - easily matches anything you'll get in a classically remote finca - there is no aesthetic downside to the village location. The swimming pool is a decent length. The owner has a quick swim each morning (through a private entrance and before we ever managed to get up); and is otherwise for your exclusive use. Parking - locked garage with remote control door. (NB: this is an old Andalucian village, dating from Roman times; and the streets, including the entrance to the garage, are better suited to smaller cars, such as a Mini. The local roads are superb driving roads – a riot of twists and turns, and you'll have a better time hiring a compact size car that’s happy on the twisty bits as opposed to wrestling with an SUV or luxo-barge.) Deli opposite. Supermarket about 5 minutes walk. All in a village that, somehow, has managed to remain unspoiled. The apartment is the top floor of the owners' own house; and, while it shares a front door, the interior entrances are private and separate. It feels like your own front door. The hosts are charming and helpful and respect your privacy 100% at all times. In short, this is a real “best of both worlds” find. You get the views, pool and privacy of a rural cottage with the convenience and security of a peaceful and conveniently-located village location.

  • My wife and I stayed at Rosa Alta in early July 2009 and it was a wonderful experience. A few days before we left for Andalusia we had some problems at home and had to re-arrange parts of our vacation and at one point we feared we might have to cancel altogether but we are so glad we did not - the apartment is luxurious, the setting breathtaking and the welcome from the owners is warm and friendly. Other guests had commented that going out sightseeing in this part of Andalusia was fun but the best part was always going back to Rosa Alta and once you have stayed there you understand why. Sitting out on the covered patio with stunning views over the mountains and down to the Straits of Gibraltar was simply unforgettable. The pool area is as fine as you will ever see in a vacation apartment and the village of Gaucin itself is memorably perched on the top of a mountain giving panaromic views all the way across to Africa. The drive over the mountains to Ronda is exceptional with many viewing points along the way but none of them can beat the view from the apartment at dusk with the moon coming up and with a glass of Spanish wine in hand you enjoy the night time cool - a wonderful place to spend time in Southern Spain and one of the most outstanding vacation rentals you will ever find for 2-3 people. You definitely need a car to get around and the streets of Gaucin are tight for driving in but we cannot recommend this apartment highly enough for the quality of the location and the superb facilities it has.

  • 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.
