Perfect hideaway. A tranquil paradise. Beautifully landscaped gardens.

The chalet was comfortable and well equipped with charming touches. You are perfectly located to explore local towns and beaches and then return to get away from it all and relax on your terrace or by the pool.

We had a very nice stay in the house. Everything was like written in the text and showed on the pictures. We loved the calm and quiet stay, the cats and the dogs and listening to the owls during the night. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful traditional spanish farm house

Absoluetly beautiful house set in an amazing well kept perfectly manicured Finca. Our 2 year old son loved it here, lots and lots to see and do in the garden - He especially loved the tortoise's, the chickens and the trampoline! Very relaxing time all round. Carin made us feel most welcome and gave us plenty of useful advice on visiting the local area. Would thoroughly recommend! Thanks so much Carin x

Just gorgeously relaxing

We were at la Hijuela for the third time and when we arrived we felt at home immediately. The owners Carin and Carlos make sure that nothing is left to be desired when you arrive. The finca itself is such a beauty - like a little paradise where you can recharge your batteries. We will certainly be back! P.S. La Muela itself doesn't offer many restaurants if you don't want to cook but there's one not very far away. It is called Patria and is well worth a visit. Do check there to find fresh Andalusian food served in style and with a view.

Awful stay

The place was in an area where all homes apparently had to be behind giant fences and gates. You have to travel tiny, bumpy dirt roads to get there. The host was very strange towards me, making me feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions. She also has no problem just showing up at your supposedly private home and often pops out of her home when she sees you walking to your car (you have to walk by her home to leave or get to your parking spot). My rental car was also damaged while parked there. I cut my trip short to get out of there as I was not at all comfortable being there, and I did not feel safe there.

Among more than 50 5-star reviews, the first and only bad review.. It was obvious that you were the wrong person in the wrong place. We did not feel comfortable with you staying with us either.. Let´s leave it there.... with regards, the popping up host...

Sit back and enjoy!

The perfect location if you want a completely relaxing environment which is also handy for interesting days out. The little house we stayed in was beautiful - all built in the traditional Andalusian style with so much attention to detail. Close to the pool, we were able to swim before breakfast every morning, and relax on the loungers in the afternoons whilst still being handy for cups of tea, glasses of sherry, vino, sun cream, books, internet and all other essential (?) relaxation-enhancing equipment. The garden is lush and beautiful, and all kinds of animals made themselves apparent - the owners' cute little dogs, mother hens with clutches of chicks, tortoises, cats (and kittens), plus the local bird life, including swallows regularly swooping down to the pool for a drink on the wing, and unidentified others singing their hearts out. We loved it. We visited Cadiz, Gibraltar and Tangier, and could also have included Seville but will save that for another time - the lure of the garden and the pool were too great. The local town, Vejer, is gorgeous. Tip: buy a good map - it's like the Hampton Court maze. We recommend this Finca highly, and hope future guests enjoy their stays there as much as we did. Thank you Carin and Carlos.

Wunderbares, sehr gepflegtes Grundstück mit vielen besonderen Pflanzen und Blumen, gemütliches Ferienhaus mit spanischem Flair, sauberer Pool, den wir meist für uns allein hatten, und sehr nette Gastgeber (insbesondere Carin), die immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereit waren. Wir haben unsere zwei Wochen sehr genossen, die Ruhe, die nächtlichen gelegentlichen Käuzchenrufe. Mit dem Auto ist man in wenigen Minuten am Meer oder in den umliegenden Orten.

Wir haben eine Woche bei Carin und Carlos in dem kleinen Häuschen Encina verbracht.Es war alles wunderbar! Es ist eine sehr saubere und gut ausgestattete Unterkunft mit Charme.Der Garten wird sehr gut gepflegt und der Pool ist einfach ein Traum! Es ist etwas abgelegen aber für uns war die Ruhe genau richtig.Am besten hat uns die dezente Gastfreundschaft von Carin und Carlos gefallen, so konnten wir entspannt unseren Urlaub genießen und haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt.Wir kommen sicher wieder!

Un paraíso en Cadiz

No es la primera ni la última vez que descansamos en la Hijuela, porque la hijuela es para eso, desconectar y descansar. Un jardín escondido en la muela, con una piscina maravillosa y repleta de vegetación. Las playas a 15 minutos en coche, Vejer a 10, Conil a otros 10. Sus dueños, Carlos y Carin, son encantadores y reservados, pero estarán ahí cuando los necesites. Las casas (hay 4) con estilo rústico, porche, barbacoa y jardín privado. No sé qué más decir, siempre que hemos ido, hemos vuelto con más ganas de volver. Si te gusta la zona y l tranquilodad, no lo dudes.

Finca Hijuela Casa Encina

Wij hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in de Finca, Carin en Carlos zijn zeer gastvrij en je kunt altijd bij hen terecht. Ons huis was ruim, schoon en had alles wat we nodig hadden. We hebben genoten van de prachtige tuin, de zwaluwen die een nest hadden onder onze overkapping, de schatige hondjes die kwamen buurten, de vele vinders, kippen en vele exotische vogels. En natuurlijk heerlijk zwemmen in het mooie zwembad. Het is ideaal voor dagtrips naar leuke dorpjes in de buurt maar ook de mooie stad Cádiz is vlakbij. Dus niet naar de Spaanse drukke Costa’s maar fijn naar deze Finca😊 De Atlantische oceaan is op vijf minuten rijden en hier heb je zeer rustige stranden waar het heerlijk relaxt is (wij waren er eind mei). Kortom wij kunnen het het iedereen aanbevelen en je hebt echt rust en ruimte na een uitstapje of dagje strand! Wij komen zeker weer terug!
