Gorgeous property, gorgeous location

La Cazalla de Ronda is a wonderful property in a gorgeous location. All the rooms in the house are uniquely and thoughtfully decorated and the exterior landscaping is simply breathtaking. Our family of 9 adults thoroughly enjoyed the spotlessly clean interior, luxurious amenities, friendly hosts, saltwater pool, multiple living rooms and patio areas, easy access to hiking trails and the silence, except for birdsong. Communication with the hosts was always responsive and pleasurable. I am torn giving La Cazalla such a good review -- they deserve it, but I don't want anyone else to find this gem hidden in the Andalucian hills.

Little bit of heaven

Our stay at La Cazalla was delightful. It is one of the most beautiful properties I’ve seen and definitely the most enjoyable property I’ve rented. Lisa and Mark do whatever they can to accommodate you and make your stay lovely. We were a group of ten and had lots of space for group time or alone time. I recommend hiring Lisa and Mark to make a paella dinner on the terrace. Also enjoyed meals on the terrace by other chefs. I would love to stay at La Cazalla again. It was truly a little bit of heaven. Thank you Mark and Lisa!

Unforgettably amazing stay at La Cazalla de Ronda

What a glorious destination. My friends, my husband and I (4 couples now based around the world - met through our children going to the same primary school) had the most amazing reunion and holiday at La Cazalla! Lisa and Mark are the most superb hosts. They advise and all activities in the Ronda area - their suggestions are all spot-on for walking trails to restaurants to Bodega's. At the villa we had everything we needed for a luxurious self-catering stay. Gorgeous en-suite rooms; a number of relaxing lounges inside AND outside. We swam, sunbathed, cooked, walked, visited, shopped - oh it was heavenly. One week is too little - we shall be back - and back we will definitely be - for 2 weeks at least next time. Thank you sincerely Mark and Lisa. The Park Peeps crowd had a holiday that will remain treasured in our minds and our hearts forever!

Cozy Christmas retreat

La Cazalla was such a special place to spend Christmas with our family of 7. Plenty of space, personal touches and amenities, well stocked kitchen, and gorgeous scenery. Lisa and Mark were so accommodating, readily available and great resources for making reservations at restaurants and activities. Highlights included an awesome 7 course chef cooked meal on Christmas, a private wine tasting tour, and hiking suggestions. Thanks for an amazing holiday!

Fantastic Stay

This was an amazing rental for our 12-person family trip to Ronda. There are several great communal areas and each room has an en suite bathroom, which allowed a great balance of privacy and hanging out. While Ronda itself is great, we found we often wanted to just hang out at this incredible property. Lisa was incredibly helpful throughout the process - from booking us transportation to recommending restaurants and tour guides to helping organize a private chef. It's the perfect house to host a large family/friends get together at any time of the year

Tres días de encanto y tranquilidad

El alojamiento está cuidado hasta el más mínimo detalle. Las zonas comunes son muy amplias y permite usarlas por un grupo como el nuestro de 12 personas. Habitaciones amplias y cómodas. Los exteriores son magníficos para disfrutar de la tranquilidad y el aire puro que se respira, al mismo tiempo que puedes moverte en los diferentes senderos existentes. La atención por parte de los propietarios y del ama de llaves, Cristina, fue bastante buena.

Summer and the Feria at Magical La Cazzalla

The villa is stunning! Everyone should experience a place as magical as La Cazzalla at least once. There are so many hidden treasures to discover and the villa tempts you to sit back and enjoy nature, life, and the beauty of Ronda. Lisa and Mark set the standard for hosts, going above and beyond to provide guests an incredible vacation experience. They not only provided us outstanding meals, but helped with a medical situation, went out of their way to pick up some paella pans for future Spanish cooks, and had answers to all our questions on Ronda, Spain, and life in the Andalucian country. The only regret is not spending all seven days of our stay at the villa. While day trips to Granada, Seville and other white hill towns are fun...nothing beats a day experiencing the tranquility and beauty of La Cazalla. I look forward to returning and sharing the magic with family.

Eine Oase der Ruhe

Ein wunderschönes, liebevoll und individuell gestaltetes Haus mitten in der Natur. Nur mit dem Auto über eine Schotterstraße zu erreichen. Sehr freundlicher Empfang durch Lisa, die uns ( 7 Personen ) auch mit Informationen für Ausflüge in der Umgebung versorgte. Das Haus bietet 5 DZ, davon eines mit separatem Eingang. Die Schlafräume sind sehr großzügig und mit eigenem Badezimmer + Toilette. Die Wohnräume sind ebenfalls geräumig und gemütlich, so dass man sich bei Bedarf auch zurück ziehen könnte. Die Küche ist sehr gut sortiert; es machte Spaß zu kochen. Die Außenanlagen bestehen aus 2 Terrassen, Poolanlage und einem endlosen wunderschönen Garten. Insgesamt ein hochwertiges Anwesen. Alles wird täglich gepflegt. Wir fühlten uns so wohl, dass unser Ausflugsprogramm in den Hintergrund geraten ist. Lisa und Mark wohnen ebenfalls auf dem Grundstück. Wir haben den Aufenthalt definitiv genossen.

Amazing experience! Relaxed and family friendly environment! We all enjoyed our stay!

Lisa and Mark were extremely helpful before, during and after our stay. The villa is perfectly located, at a peaceful countryside, yet convenience to the nearest town. The villa is beautifully designed and decorated and we all had some lovely family time. The kitchen is well equipped and had some nice BBQ too! We would definitely love to revisit the place again! By the way, Mark’s cooking skill was great, we all enjoyed the delicious paella :-)

A magical time at La Cazalla, Ronda

There aren’t enough words to capture adequately what an amazing vacation this was. I was celebrating my 60th birthday with 7 of the most important women in my life. Being in Spain was a marvelous experience from start to finish. La Cazalla, our villa rental is stunning, every exquisite detail inside the house a delight to the senses and a reflection of our terrific hosts Mark and Lisa Ruddock. The grounds are breathtaking, with marvelous vistas everywhere you turn. Being at La Cazalla filled every member of our party with a deep tranquility that our regular lives back home too often deny us. It was Lisa and Mark though that helped make this holiday the wonderful one it was! They infused our time there with kindness, generosity of spirit, excellence, and professionalism, bringing every part of our planned itinerary to glorious life. My birthday dinner party and an Afternoon Tea party a few days later were so beautifully executed that I was moved to tears. Lisa completely captured the magical experience I was trying to deliver for my daughter, sisters, sister-in-law, and cousins. La Cazalla, the property provided the rest, with a unique ambience all it’s own. All of our planned excursions to Seville, Ronda, Marbella and Tangiers went off without a hitch thanks to Lisa’s helpful guidance and transportation arrangements. We all agreed that Mark, a skilled chef in his own right, made the best Paella we’ve ever eaten! Our stay at La Cazalla ranks as one of our most memorable vacations ever and we hope to be back again sometime soon.

Outstanding property in fabulous location

We had a fantastic holiday at La Cazalla and I cannot thank the owners Lisa and Mark enough for all the care and obvious attention to detail they took to ensure the property not only met our needs, but exceeded our expectations. We were a large, noisy group of ten adults, with ages ranging from twenties to early sixties, with a seventeen month old toddler too. I have booked numerous properties over the years and this is by far the best I have ever been to. The space, layout and range of facilities ensured that everyone could find a quiet area when they wanted it, but enough communal space to eat indoors, outdoors, up by the pool, or to wander off in the extensive grounds. The scenery surrounding the villa is spectacular, with numerous easy footpaths to follow. Lisa and Mark live nearby, which was a real bonus. they were around when we wanted advice, or even to borrow a recipe book. They are extremely friendly and helpful and having Christina there every day to clean was a real bonus, so too was the lovely gardener who provided fresh produce for us to try. The swimming pool area was amazing and far enough away that our little one couldn't wander there on her own. It is a beautiful pool to swim in and having a fridge in the pool house meant cool beers were always to hand. I would love to visit La Cazalle again soon. although it is a bit of a drive from the airport, it is well worth the journey. Many thanks the Regester family.

Amazing Property in a Stunning Location

When we arrived at La Cazalla our breath was taken away by the beauty of the location, and the villa was a match for its surroundings. Lisa and Mark, the owners, went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were there for a week, and many of us barely left the villa for the whole time -- it was that enjoyable! The pool was particularly appreciated for cooling off as the weather was very hot during our stay. We'd definitely recommend this villa to anyone.

la Cazolla stunning home away from home

The home is beautiful and perfect for larger groups of friends. There are en suite bathrooms in each room. Beds are very comfortable . The downstairs area has two sitting areas and one has a magnificent Fireplace. the kitchen will gladden any chef’s heart. Set between rocky outcrops with footpaths meandering through flower covered fields one cannot but have one’s breath taken away. What a gorgeous swimming pool with a view. Lisa and Mark, the owners, were perfect hosts and very helpful in arranging any activity available. Do not be put off by the bumpy road. There’s a wonderful reward awaiting you at the end. Highly recommended !!

Beautiful villa in stunning countryside - SUPERB

One of the best villa stays I have ever experienced. La Cazalla is a dream - a gorgeous house full of lovely bedrooms, stylish sitting areas and outside eating spots surrounded by unspoilt countryside, oak forests, rivers and mountains. With 16 acres of nature to enjoy, fruit laden trees, stunning views and occasional sightings of deer and wild Andulasian horse, it is the perfect spot to sit and relax, to chill or to sunbathe and swim. In fact, the villa is so great and so welcoming, you don't want to leave - even though the delights of Ronda are just ten minutes drive away. Highly recommended for groups of up to 12 people, the house is big enough and spaced out for people to relax without being bothered - as well as intimate enough to enjoy each other's company for dinner and drinks on the terrace. I will definitely be coming back soon. I miss it already!
