Tranquilidad

La estancia ha sido maravillosa, hemos disfrutado mucho. La casa está a 10 minutos de Ronda y en pleno campo. Los caseros han sido muy familiares y nos hemos encontrado como en nuestra propia casa.

Fin de semana regular

La casa estaba limpia pero no tenía ni recogedor ni escoba,el agua caliente no existía y si venía de repente salía frío de repente ardiendo que te quemaba,el acceso a la casa es malísimo unos caminos de piedras y si venía un coche de frente tenías que dar marcha atrás,la tele también regular no se veía la mayoría de los canales,Julia muy agradable con los niños y con nosotros pero no volveríamos a repetir

Gracias por su evaluación y lamento que no haya quedado completamente satisfecho. Para ser honesto, estábamos muy reacios a aceptar un grupo tan grande, pero usted insistió. No es de extrañar que el sistema de agua caliente no siempre pudiera hacer frente, ya que no está diseñado para que 8 personas se duchen y se bañen una tras otra. No es cierto decir que no había recogedor ni arbusto... incluso te lo mostramos debajo del fregadero de la cocina. ¿Por qué inventar esto? En cuanto al camino de acceso, no es perfecto, pero este es el campo y no está bajo nuestro control. ¿Esperabas una súper autopista de tres carriles hasta el alojamiento? Obtuvimos muy poco de su corta estadía después de toda la limpieza y la calefacción (ahora) muy costosa... especialmente después de la comisión, lo que hace que su crítica tibia sea bastante deprimente. ¿Puedo sugerir que antes de reservar más alojamiento lea la descripción más a fondo? En ninguna parte dice que hay una chimenea ni dice que el check-out es a las 11 y no a las 10. Sin embargo, amablemente permitimos una breve extensión a pesar de que teníamos nuevos invitados que llegaban después del mediodía y había mucho que limpiar. Saludos cordiales...

Lovely stay full of rustic charm

We had a lovely stay here. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the property is remarkably well restored considering its age. The pool and surrounding garden area is lovely and well maintained. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and we enjoyed exploring and visiting Ronda , the mountain villages and further afield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were just two things that spoiled it. Firstly the driveway to the property is in a terrible state and desperately needs repairing. It is not suitable for cars.. really only for a 4x4 vehicle and we were constantly worried about the damage it might do to our hire car. Secondly the fridge and freezer were absolutely not big enough for a sleep 6 self catering apartment. We had to make daily trips to the supermarket as there was not adequate room to store food for more than one day and this meant our stay was not very restful. We did not see a gym or fitness suite but it was a little hot for that anyway. We did not feel the finca was luxury as stated on the online listing but it was comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay. Big thanks to Nick and Julia for all their recommendations of places to eat and visit and for lending us after sun when the sun got too much. Thank you very much for having us.

Dear Rachael Thanks for your candid review and we are very happy you all enjoyed your stay here. The last 200 metres of public road to our gates was damaged during the unprecedented storms of October 2018 and although we have since patched it up with our own money we are still waiting for the council to improve it further. They have assured us that this will be done before the end of this year. It is not true to say it is only suitable for 4x4s. We have had a busy season and all our guests have hired normal little hire cars and not had any problems coming from and going to the holiday-let. The fridge is a pretty normal sized one although the freezer compartment is not suitable for anything other than ice-creams and ice. We are looking into finding a mini-freezer that we can put on the kitchen work surface. We are always scrupulously honest about our descriptions which is reflected in all the other excellent reviews of the Farmhouse Apartment. Of all the 11 reviews (except yours) posted on this HomeAway listing all bar two have given us 5 stars...the other two four. Yours is our very first 3 star one since marketing the property back in 2008...so we are pretty confident we are doing something right. If you do chose to stay with us again please remember that we give a 10% discount to repeat bookers. Many thanks for staying with us. Kind regards Nick and Julia

Lovely Farmhouse

The farmhouse is about 11k from Ronda in a secluded location. Swimming pool is nice and big and accommodation on first floor where we stayed is self-contained and quaint with a sun terrace on the first floor.

It is a beautiful rural property. The location allows you to easidrive to Ronda and surrounding tow

The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The host is helpful with information about surrounding towns. The only recommendation for the host is to purchase an additional water heater for the apartment. The supply was unreliable during our stay. Otherwise, all stars!

Perfect base for exploring Ronda and the amazing local landscape

We had a fantastic six day stay with our three teenage children who made great use of the huge pool. It's very close to wonderful Ronda and really well located for exploring the nearby gorgeous Sierra de Grazalema. I can't get the star rating to work above but can give it five stars!

Excellent for families with small children

Julia and Nick are absolutely marvelous hosts and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. They have lived in the area for fourteen years, so their knowledge of the area is excellent and they are happy to share. The farmhouse is a five minute drive to Ronda and close to sites as well as shops. Very quiet, nice pool area and ample parking space. Sleeping was comfortable, hot water at all times and a fully functional kitchen. We have two small children and it definitely fit our needs. Will hopefully be heading back there in the near future

Amazing place, fantastic visit, highly recommended

We stayed for a little over three weeks, late February to mid-March, on the entire top floor of this beautifully and traditionally whitewashed house in the most beautiful countryside yet only minutes from the centre of beautiful and historic Ronda. What a great place. The apartment is equipped perfectly with everything from a fully functional kitchen to washing machine, TV, wi-fi, etc. Nick and Julia were amazing hosts and took us the local eateries and watering holes to show us what was around given that they would be away for part of our stay (as pre-arranged). We also got a chance to check out the adjacent but detached Casa Abuela, a charming two bedroom single story house on the property backing onto a great sized swimming pool - a beautiful and equally well equipped place to stay. At Finca Retama you get the best of all worlds. Relaxed rural living with stunning views from the green hills covered in olive groves surrounding the property and an amazing backdrop of mountains in the distance, yet so close to Ronda with all its bars, restaurants and multiple other attractions including its famous bullring and breathtaking gorge. A little further afield, but easily done as a day trip by car, you have everything from the coast with all its beaches and almost constant year-round sunshine, to cities like Seville and Cordoba or even Gibraltar to visit for tax free shopping. In summary, we cannot recommend Finca Retama or Casa Abuela enough. Great location, stunning views, warm and welcoming hosts. Thank you for a great stay!

Dear Nicolo Thanks for your support and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay here so much. Thanks also for leaving the place so clean...it was as if you were not here at all in that respect. We enjoyed linking up with you all over tapas in the nearby 'venta'...you're right it does have some of the best tapa dishes in the area! Great you've decided to visit us again next year...Kismet will be delighted as she'll be expecting all those walks again. All the best Nick, Julia and the boys!!

A hidden gem in a beautiful part of Andalusia

A beautiful villa and farmhouse in a rural setting just north of Ronda, one of the most famous towns in Andalusia. The rural surroundings are special due to several bodegas within walking distance. Nick and Julia are great hosts, we had a relaxed and comfortable stay. The apartment is rustic and very cosy. Ronda is of course special and worthwhile several visits. Nearby are beautiful "pueblos blancos" Grazalema and Zahara, and the Natural Parc Sierra de Grazalema, only 45 minutes by car. We also did the Via Verde, a bicycle route on a former rail track near Olvera. We stayed during Christmas and New Year holidays. The atmosphere at that time of year in Andalusia is great for enjoying typical Spanish culture and events. The weather can be nice in winter too. It will be cold in the morning and evening, but in the afternoon when the sun was shining, we could walk in T-shirts. We really enjoyed every day of our stay!

Dear Johan and Jane Thank you for the great review and we're so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in our Farmhouse Apartment. Christmas and New Year are a great time of year to visit this beautiful part of Andalusia and Reyes on the 6th of January in Ronda is always a special event...especially for the children. We hope to see you again. All the best Nick and Julia

FINCA RETAMA NEAR RONDA

Spent one week but wished I'd booked for more in the authentically rustic apartment. The tasteful interior satisfied my longing to get an "Andaluz" feel for the area whilst providing all the necessities required for a base to explore the incredible surrounding countryside & cities of Andaluzia. The pool was an inspirational start & end to the day. Our hosts provided us with some directions for great local walks in the beautiful countryside & also some good tips for some local tapas & restaurants in the evenings. Missing Finca Retama already!

Dear James and Emily It was such fun meeting you and great that Oliver and Daniel played so well with your four! Daniel is already asking when he can see Oscar again! Please do visit us again and remember that we give a 10& discount to repeat bookings of a week or more. We'll stay in touch on Facebook no doubt. All the best Julia, Nick and Oliver and Daniel

Farmhouse Apartment is great value

Stayed in Nick & Julia's Farmhouse apartment - tastefully decorated, spacious, bedrooms with access to roof top balcony over looking stunning countryside, fantastic views of the stars. Very friendly family and kids, had some great games of table tennis with their boys. Lovely swimming pool to cool off in and relax by. Ronda is nearby, lots to see and do, plenty of tapas bars, excellent food & wine.

Dear James and family, Thank you for writing such a lovely review and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay in the Farmhouse Apartment. Please do consider us again for future holidays in this wonderful part of inland Andalusia. Perhaps next time you might choose the villa also on our estate as there are only 5 of you and would give another new dimension to our Farmstead. All the best to you, Delilah and the kids Imogen, Cecilia and little Jack. Nick, Julia Oliver and Daniel
