What a fabulous place to stay. The property presents as it does in the photos. If I lived in the UK or Ireland, I would return here for a week every year. Once at the villa you will not need to drive anywhere unless you want to go on a day trip. Ronda is an easy drive & well worth going to see. Everything in the village is within walking distance… there is nowhere to park anyway! Gaucin has all you need in terms of bars, restaurants & small supermercados. Just be aware it is uphill into town. The peace, the silence, the tranquility, the serenity, the privacy,… El Refugio ticks all the boxes. You will not tire of gazing out at “that” view. Jonas is a great host & super helpful. His tour of the village the day after we arrived was much appreciated. The beds are super comfortable & there were no issues with water pressure or the showers. Everything you need to cook is in the kitchen… we didn’t bother though, we just tried a different restaurant every night. The pool is fantastic & clean. You will not regret staying at ---------, it is fabulous.

Schönes Haus in wunderschöner Lage. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön. Das Haus ist komplett möbliert. Schönes Bett. Schiebetüren sorgen auch im Inneren für ein Außengefühl. Heimelige Atmosphäre. Niveauunterschiede erfordern eine gute Mobilität. Schöne, ruhige Stadt mit vielen netten Restaurants und gemütlichen Terrassen, die zu Fuß erreichbar sind. Toller Ort, an den man zurückkommen kann.

Herzlicher Empfang und Verfügbarkeit durch den Eigentümer während unseres Aufenthalts in einer wunderschönen Villa in Andalusien. Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Urlaub in dieser Villa, die geschmackvoll eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet war. Der Pool war perfekt zum Abkühlen nach einem Tag in der Sonne und der Garten war wunderschön.
