Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
It has always been our aim to provide our guests with clean, comfortable accommodation. Too make them feel welcome from the moment they arrive. Even down to having something to eat and drink, in case they are hungry after there long journey. I must say I was very upset to receive this 2 star review but every body is an individual and this sort of rural retreat does not always suit everybody, With the 51 reviews on Trip Advisor and our second trip advisor 5 star award of excellence 2017 for this year. I never had a complaint that it was dark or cramped so I am addressing these comments and seeing what I can do to improve things. It was also October with the darker nights drawing in. So very different from the summer months, even though we were blessed with exceptional weather for this time of year. Regarding our unfinished building, it was unfortunate that due to illness it could not be completed before the 2017 season began. We have had a very busy season with many guests coming to stay and no one mentioned this. La Casita Bonita is surrounded by beautiful scenery and mountains, with various areas where you can relax. I think from what guests said this was there main focus and how peaceful it was. Rest assured the building is now finished:) We cant wait to welcome new guests next year and show off all our improvements. Thank you for your review I will certainly be looking into the comments that have been made.

Very peaceful and relaxing week

La Casita Bonita is well equipped and has everything you need. It's in a beautiful location with wonderful views and is so peaceful to make a relaxing stay, but not too far away from bars and restuarants in an authentic real Spanish village - the best of both worlds. It is ideally situated to explore the western part of Andalucia We thoroughly enjoyed our week spent here. As others have said, Heli is lovely and makes it a very stress free experience all round. We don't normally go back to somewhere we've been before - but we would here, without hesitation Thanks Heli :)

Just go!

What a wonderful week and such a warm welcome from Heli who clearly knows the balance between being available if needed and allowing privacy to enjoy this super cabin and pool. We would recommend a car. It allowed us to make the short trips to the coast, the lakes and to visit nearby towns. The village of Monda is a 10 min drive and though tight parking, it is a place to visit for a coffee and snack - there are a few restaurants in the village. However, this little oasis was so restful that we felt disinclined to leave it and self-catered for the whole week, much to our surprise. We had no trouble negotiating the narrow steep road which led to the property and there are a few steps down to get to the log cabin (and therefore up). During our week’s stay, temperatures on some days exceeded 40C and so the cabin became very hot but the immediate surrounds, with plenty of shaded areas and a number of sunbeds in different spots allowed for outdoor living - and of course the pool was a godsend. There’s a comfy sofa on the veranda and an outdoor dining area next to the BBQ, great for late evening dining. The cabin had everything we needed to be self-sufficient after the odd visit to the supermarket in Coin. The fan and an aircon unit, were effective during the evening, and as nighttime temperatures dropped, sleeping wasn’t an issue (and what a comfy bed!). Away from the hustle and bustle of life, we will certainly be visiting here again. Thank you, Heli, and see you soon.

Wunderschöne Auszeit

Die Zeit in der Unterkunft haben wir sehr genossen. Es ist eine sehr liebevoll gestaltete "Holzhütte" mit allem was man so braucht. Besonders der Außenbereich lädt zum enstspannen und relaxen ein. Der Pool und alles was dazu gehört ist unglaublich schön, für jeden gibt es ein Plätzchen zum wohlfühlen. Wir haben diese Zeit zum entspannen geplant und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Auch unserer Gastgeberin war jederzeit sehr bemüht, uns unseren Urlaub so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Sie ist eine sehr herzliche Person und wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt bei. Wir werden mit Sicherheit nochmal wieder kommen.

Ideal spot for walkers

The 'cabin' was cosy and had all that we needed, including good cooking equipment for 'home cooked meals'. It is located in a beautifully peaceful spot on the hillside and yet is close to many attractions including the fantastic gorge walk of Canimito del Rey. There are also lovely local walks from the cabin, or near by. Heli was extremely friendly and helpful too. A car is extremely useful, given its location.

The property while close to the main house is really lovely...Heli and Garry make you really feel at home there. In saying that they are not in the least bit intrusive and will only engage with you if you need something .....and then they are extremely helpful....even a lift to the pub .....and back ...!!!!!!

Great spot in the hills near Monda

Had a great week in the sun here. Superb place for relaxing with loads of outside space and pool to cool down in. The owners are great and strike the right balance between being there when you need them but respecting your privacy during your stay. The view from the BBQ spot would make you think you're in the middle of nowhere but in reality you're no more than ten minutes from Monda village. Having stayed in a few places within 30 mins drive of this one, this is probably the most quiet spot so ideal if that'e what you're aiming for. The place was also well kitted out with everything we needed to cook. Overall a great stay, highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Heli

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Helen! I’ve been hosting holiday rentals for many years and truly love welcoming guests from all over the world. Hospitality has always been a big part of my life, and I take pride in creating a warm, comfortable, and memorable experience for everyone who stays. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or celebrate, I’m here to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Our goal is to provide guests with comfortable accommodation where your holiday begins the moment you drive through the gates. From that very first step, you can unwind and start enjoying your time away. The parasols are up, the towels are ready, and the sun loungers are waiting just for you.

What makes this property unique

Since we started renting out La Casita Bonita, many guests have told us how wonderful it is to simply walk straight into holiday mode and relax. I live on-site, so if you need anything or have any questions, I’m always just a short walk away.

Our guests’ reviews often mention how they feel like they already know us before they arrive — and they appreciate the warm welcome and attentive service we strive to provide.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion or want to treat a loved one, I’m also a trained therapist and can offer relaxing spa packages to make your stay even more memorable.
