Holiday rentals near Vázquez de Molina Palace

We had a wonderful few days in this property. The location was perfect with incredible views from the balcony. The pool was clean and a good temperature. The owners were always on hand over text in case of any issues. Highly recommended for a quiet few days away.

Juan met us in Torres to check us in and the house is about 3km out of town in the middle of olive groves down a bit of an paved road. It has a lovely balcony for eating out with great views of the surrounding mountains and olive groves. Four good modern bedrooms with two good bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen though there is no oven. A big lounge and dining room with an amazing fire in the dining room which heats the whole house when it is on automatically. The pool is of a decent size and of one depth probably about five foot eight inches deep and good for a dip though a bit cold to hang around in in October. Best to research walking routes before you go as we had not and it wasn't very clear where you could go. Juan was very helpful though over WhatsApp offering advice for visits and replacing a toaster that did not work. Good to visit Baeza and Ubeda across the valley and the castle at Albanchez de Magina over the mountain. We did not do it but would like to have visited an olive oil farm so again good to book ahead and there are olive oil museums in Ubeda and near Baeza but not the same as going out to the olive groves I imagine. Torres has a couple of bars and a good housed market in the main square. There is also a country restaurant just up the path from the house which was open at the weekend and serving big portions of food for a good price. So interesting place to visit and we had a good time. Thanks to Juan for his friendly greetings and helpful advice.

We had a lovely stay at Cortijo Montano. The house is beautifully decorated, and with everything you need. One highlight was having almond and peach trees all around the house, which meant that the children had great fun picking and eating peaches for breakfast. The pool was a delight in the hot afternoons. Baeza and Ubeda are two extraordinarily beautiful towns, just a short hop away, and a trip to the Sierra de Cazorla is great - excellent walking. And, of course, the olive oil is truly amazing. We'd love to stay again.
