Casa Clara
Lovely traditional house set in fantastic surroundings. Weather not so good but did not spoil the relaxing atmosphere of the area and house. Easy access to local towns and motorway to main places to visit. Antequerra particularly nice to visit.Other tourist resorts within 30 kms to get back to some excellent shopping in Torremolinos and Malaga. Car essential unless you are a mountain goat! Enjoyed whole experience, and thanks for getting shopping Lisa as we arrived so late. December 2009/January 2010

Gorgeous property, lovely area
We had 12 perfect days at Monte Clara this October. The property has loads of character, is very comfortable and has the most amazing views that its impossible to get bored of. We had meant to stay a few nights then move on to Granada but changed our minds when we saw the place and fell in love with Riogordo. The town is great - small and with almost no tourists - just locals and the odd ex pat. Very friendly tapas bars with some of the best food I have ever had in Spain. Riogordo is very close to the sea as well as some stunning national parks, local walks on the doorstep and gorgeous little villages like Comares. This area of Spain is totally unspoiled - loved it. The owners of Monte Clara, Lisa and Julian were really friendly and helpful but will only turn up if you have a problem which is great if you like your privacy. They kindly booked us in for an amazing meal at Ortegas when they popped over to check a problem with the pool pump. Would happily recommend this property and will be going back.

Rural rustic Casa...The Real Spain.....
A superb fortnight was enjoyed at Casa Monte Clara which is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty with stunning mountain views overlooking the whitewashed village of Riogordo . The views from the front door and pool area are breathtaking and the property is ideal for those wanting to relax and get away from it all . The nearby village of Riogordo has all the facilities for those wishing to self-cater with the supermarkets , butchers and baker all making you feel very welcome and greeting us with a smile . For those that want to enjoy a taste of the real Spain ....this is definitely for you . The property allows easy access to Malaga (20 minutes) and beyond if you can drag yourselves away from the pool !! Lisa & Julian , many thanks .

Super Aussicht und Insekten
Fantastischer Blick in die Landschaft. Leider gab es sehr vile Ameisen (auch im Bett) und Vespen auf der Veranda. Wegen der Wasserknappheit gab es öfter kein fließendes Wasser. Der Vorratstank hat nur bedingt Abhilfe geschaffen. Etwas mehr Schatten auf der Veranda wäre schön gewesen.

The views are fantastic!
We had a lovely stay at the villa at the start of July. The villa has everything you need for a holiday - although you will spend most of your time outside looking at the views from the poolside or under the shaded terrace. A couple of queries we had were sorted out very quickly and even events outside of their control like the area water supply being cut off, were dealt with quickly - Julian popped over on a Sunday evening to switch us to the other supply! You do need to hire a car, as although the village is close, you wouldn't want to walk back up the hill All in all - a lovely week and it was great to actually be there after we had to move the dates twice due to the pandemic -Lisa was very accommodating with our changes.

Opinión
La casa está bien ubicada y el acceso es bueno. Es bonita y esta bien equipada. Sin embargo la piscina estaba un poco sucia, los colchones de las camas eran incómodos, y únicamente había un rollo de papel de wc para un fin de semana y 7 personas. Por lo demas bien. El trato con la propietaria fue agradable y fluido.

Wir haben 4 Wochen erholsame Tage in einer ursprünglichen, gemütlichen Finca verbringen dürfen. Der Ausblick auf die Landschaft hat uns immer wieder den Atem genommen. Bereits ab Mitte Februar durften wir den Frühling in vollen Zügen genießen.

een geweldige ervaring
knus, huiselijk; een prachtige, adembenemende omgeving; een voor mij qua lengte een iets te klein bed; en voor een beter comfort zou een iets breder bed niet verkeerd zijn; wat het ligcomfort betreft, ieder zijn smaak; voor mij had het iets minder hard mogen zijn; een top zou een mogelijke oplossing zijn

Relaxing stay with everything you could need
A lovely little villa in a nice location. We hardly went out the week we were there. The kitchen is small but has everything you need and the BBQ was an added bonus. Lisa was very hospitable, answering any questions I had and getting some basics in for us as we arrived on Sunday and all the shops were closed. Thank you for a relaxing week!

Monte Clara is a beautiful little house in an idyllic setting in the Andalusian hills
Our family (wife, 3 daughters & myself) had a wonderful time in Monte Clara. It's a lovely little house in a peaceful & beautiful setting, & in a great location with beaches, Malaga, & various other interesting places all within a 35 minute drive through amazing scenery. Julian & Lisa were great. Julian came regularly to clean the pool & check everything was ok. A couple of lightbulbs went during our stay, & when we told him about it he went straight to the local shop & came back to change them. Both were very friendly & personable. They have great knowledge about the area & restaurants etc, & we always enjoyed our conversations with them. Riogordo can be seen from the terraces & is only a few minutes drive away & is a lovely little Andalusian town with friendly locals, a small supermarket, petrol station, & a few nice & very reasonable restaurants & bars. Perched on the hill behind Riogordo & a short & stunning drive further is Comares - one of the highest towns in Andalusia - a beautiful little very old Moorish town with cobbled pedestrianised streets full of character & with breathtaking views over the surrounding area. Monte Clara has plenty of Spanish character, & we enjoyed some lovely tranquil days there making the most of the pool, views, & barbecue. The pool is a decent size for a family, & we managed to teach our youngest daughters to swim in it, so for this reason & many others I'm sure Monte Clara is a place we'll always remember fondly.

Amazing!!!!
We booked the villa for a surprise birthday present after having problems travelling to the villa Lisa and Julian couldn't have been more helpful arranging their daughter to take us to malaga so we could continue our holiday. The villa is stunning, everything a family would need and had everything you need for a holiday the pool was beautiful with plenty of room for 5 with room for more and was kept really clean and maintained to a high standard by Julian who came to clean and was very friendly and helpful. The views from the villa were breathtaking situated in a perfect area for any type of holiday would definitely come back again. Couldn't meet a nicer couple and we will be highly recommending to our family and friends. Thank you so much Julian and Lisa for making our holiday so special.

Breathtaking views
Casa Monte Clara had two bedrooms and a large open plan area with padded bench seating around a coffee table and a dining table and chairs to seat 6. There is also a dedicated kitchen area with plaster storage spaces formed in the waist height walls, separating the area from the rest of the room andalso storage spaces in the main house wall. This theme also runs through into the bedrooms with plastered shelving areas and warobe space with covering curtains. There is a shower room with a blue spanish basin and tiled surround. Flooring throughout is tiled. There is a microwave, hob and oven. Outside is a long covered area with a patio table and 6 chairs which lead on to a further seating area and outside washing machine. Steps lead down to the small but very useful pool which has the bonus of lighting for night time swimming. There are several loungers and some sun chairs to offer seating to see the most glorious views which are a perk of the stay There are neighbours but these only seem to appear at weekends and seem quiet. This is a very rustic holiday and the rural aspect is very peaceful. Our only problem was keeping very tiny red ants at bay as, at times, they seemed to like us, even though we were very careful not to leave food around! Riogordo nearby is a friendly town with all amenties. We didn't meet Lisa but Julian was a very helpful owner who was always willing to put himself out if needed. The interior was cool in the heat and the shutters on every window were most welcome.

Lovely Honeymoon get-away!
Well, after a very stressful few months before the wedding, I and my wife came on a great honeymoon to this beautiful little Casa, near a small but pretty little village/town called Riogordo. Perfect for a well needed time to relax!! (we even got a bottle of Cava thrown in!) The views were amazing, the swimming pool was perfect for cooling down during the very hot days, and as long as you have good transport, it's not too far from shops and good days out. Malaga is also not too far away, and full of such character, beaches and good days out. For a whole week in a place not too far off the beaten track, we thought that it was very well priced and just lovely! Would recommend to family and friends. It was very clean and well kept, the swimming pool was also well looked after and clean. Thank you Lisa for providing us with such a lovely start to our married life together!
