We had a lovely week in Cortes de la Frontera. The Finca is outstanding with its spanish designed interior. The garden is lovely arranged and full of green and blooming plants. After long hot walks in the surrounding area we were always happy to return to the house and garden were we took some cooling swimms in the pool and relaxed on the surrounding terace. Very recommended.
sehr sehr schönes, individuelles Haus, das durch viele kĂŒnstlerische Aspekte ein tolles Ambiente bietet. Schöne Alleinlage und toller Garten, in fuĂlĂ€ufiger Lage zu dem sehr hĂŒbschen kleinen Ort.
We totally enjoyed our stay at the property. It was exactly what we hoped for - rustic and a little bit quirky but also it had everything that we needed for a relaxing and totally enjoyable stay.
Joanna is a lovely host and a very interesting person. Of course, Osso and Ella (here two dogs) are adorable and the two cats paid us regular visits too.
The outside space is a joy, eating breakfast and dinner outside every day in such lovely surroundings.
Location wise, being on the edge of the village was perfect. Quiet and relaxing but with the village amenities a few minutes walk away. We had a great stay.
La fontana esta en un entorno fenomenal para disfrutar de unos dĂas de relax en la sierra. Casa encantadora con piscina y barbacoa. No faltaba ningĂșn detalle. Joanna estupenda!
Es un lugar ideal para descansar y desconectar de la rutina.
La casa estĂĄ perfectamente equipada con todo lo necesario para pasar unos dĂas de relax . No dispone de TV pero nos vino muy bien para hacer otro tipo de actividades y cĂłmo dispone de Wifi, cualquier necesidas estĂĄ cubierta con los mĂłviles.
Los niños no pararon de disfrutar de la piscina y los mayores no nos separamos de la barbacoa ;)
En definitiva, nos ha encantado a todos y Joanna es una anfitriona maravillosa.
Esperamos volver pronto !!
Am Ortsrand gelegen, mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Grosser Stellplatz, Anwesen auf sehr groĂem GelĂ€nde mit schön angelegten Garten und Blick auf die Berge. Swimmingpool wird tĂ€glich gepflegt. Das Haus ist (typisch spanisch)rustikal ausgestattet, alle wichtigen Dinge sind vorhanden (inkl. Grillplatz auf Terrasse).Vermieterin sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, wohnt in der NĂ€he. Wir haben 3 Wochen in dieser Idylle sehr genossen.
Our stay was just as we had hoped for and more - relaxed and quiet with beautiful surroundings. The beds were comfy, the kitchen facilities great, lovely gardens to lie and hammock to swing. Joanna and her dogs and cats added to the atmosphere. Thank you!
La casa es perfecta, confortable, limpia, cuidada y muy tranquila. Rodeada de un precioso jardĂn y con maravillosas vistas. EstĂĄ en el campo y a tan solo un paseo del pueblo. DestacarĂa las terrazas, perfectas para descansar y disfrutar del entorno. Totalmente recomendable.

amazing property quiet, relaxing and would recommend
great week spent here in september. Good location close to village with plenty of shops bars and restaurants. Can do as much or as little as you like.
Peaceful, comfortable and fun house in a perfect location for exploring and close to a pretty town
The house and garden made for a perfect rural retreat for us! The house was spacious and pretty with comfortable beds and lovely hot showers and well equipped with everything you could need. The best part of the house is the garden and outdoor space - lots of areas to sit and relax in sun or shade, plenty of space for the kids to play and of course the pool which was great fun. We enjoyed having daily visits from Joanna's dogs which just added to the homely feel. The house is a few minutes walk into the village which was great to get provisions and has plenty of places to get a coffee, a meal or a lovely cake - we all enjoyed the bakery! Cortes de la frontera is a fabulous town, with an authentic feel. Great to be among the locals and to enjoy a real Spanish atmosphere. It's also brilliantly located, close to national parks (cork forest walks on the doorstep) and within easy striking distance of Ronda (a stunning mountain drive away) with all that has to offer and other white villages such as Gaucin, Cassares etc. Joanna was there to greet us and we appreciated the beautiful flowers she had placed around the house. It was good to know she was here if we needed any advice but we found our way around without a hitch and the Cortes TIC was helpful for walk suggestions. We all had a fantastic holiday and we're delighted with our choice of place to stay. Highly recommended!
This is a lovely property with good views and the garden is pretty. Not suitable for two couples as hardly any wardrobe space or privacy upstairs but ideal for a young family with children although the interior stairs are pretty steep. The access road is extremely steep but it did get easier (!) to walk after a while. The dogs are very affectionate and loving, even if a bit noisy at night. Joanna is a very helpful host and is on hand if there are any problems. The town itself is really pretty with some interesting old buildings.
Property pretty basic no luxuries. Entrance difficult but setting nicely situated.
Was quite a shock when first arrived but gradually got used to it as did not want to spoil our holiday. Property rustic and basic but served its purpose. Did feel that a good spring clean could have been carried out. Plenty of hot water for baths and showers. Felt that the windows needed curtains for some privacy especially in the bathroom. The main bed was only a double so the spare bed was used. The sheets and bedding needed to be replaced with new.
Just back from a fabulous stay at this gorgeous home from home. The villa is spacious comfortable and well equipped. The pool was great for us and our children (3 & 6) and there was also plenty of garden for playing and exploring. The lawn was a big bonus with small children. Joanna was very friendly helpful and kindly showed us around the lovely town which let us find treats we might have missed otherwise! The kids totally loved playing with her friendly animals when they came to visit! The villa setting is as described complete privacy but it's still only a few minutes walk into town. You definitely need a car to get here and although we could have spent every day relaxing in the villa we also explored local caves, amazing lakes and beaches which are all within 20mins - 1.5hr drive. Perfect holiday - Thankyou so much Joanna! Hope to see you again soon!

I am a visual artist, passionate amateur landscape gardener and the builder of what in the future could result in a realized dream of living in beautiful surroundings in harmony with nature. I came here in 2010 and started the project with the reconstruction of the house and construction of the garden. Then I started the renovation of dilapidated small houses on the estate. This resulted in a small house / studio I now live and work in when I'm not working with the garden and preparing the big house before guests' arrival. Welcome.
Direct proximity to urban amenities (healthcare, banks, shops, bars and cafes, tourist information etc.) in a beautiful white village yet in the middle of nature. The garden is full of flowers, herbs and birdsong. The soft hills around with olive groves echo with the sound of grazing sheep while swinging in the hammock in the shade or resting on a sun lounger on the porch or on the terrace with spectacular views where you can see eagles circling in the daytime and at night watch the moon sink behind the mountains.
