Cortijo Los MĂĄrmoles is a beautifully maintained villa nestled in the hills of Andalusia. The cortijo is looked after by Juan and his wife Carme and they've clearly put their heart and soul into it.
The cortijo itself sleeps 6 comfortably (a room with one double bed, and 2 other rooms with 2 single beds in each) but my partner and I decided to just go ourselves. And it was a treat.
There is a beautiful pool just a few feet away from the house which is probably about 5 metres across and 10 to 15 metres long. Plenty big enough for a good swim or cool down every day. With a number of sunloungers dotted around to soak up the southern sun.
The cortijo itself has everything you need inside. And has a BBQ outside, which we used every day.
The road/track to get to the house off the A339 is very rough, but our little Fiat 500 handled it ok.
The location is a blessing to those who want some isolation. The nearest town or village is miles away (Carcabuey), which means the evenings are sooo peaceful. No cars or people to be seen or heard.
I will definitely be coming back. I absolutely loved it.
La casa era preciosa y muy buena decoraciĂłn rĂșstica. Con todo lo necesario.
Los anfitriones muy flexibles y muy amables. Tuvimos problemas con la app y estuvieron muy atentos para comunicarse con nosotros.
Muy recomendable.
La casa estå genial. Completa de todo desde lavavajillas, hasta columpio para los pekes y no tan pekes. Juegos con cancha de petanca. Todo muy limpio y ordenado. La piscina con unas vistas inmejorables. Sólo dos cosas, el acceso a la casa es un camino angosto y largo con grandes cuestas y el exterior de la casa una soleria de piedras grandes sin pulir, si te caes te apañas bien. Por lo demås perfecta
Lovely peaceful and quiet high quality property, with stunning views, located a few km away from the nice village of Carcabuey. The hosts, Juan and Carmel are very welcoming and helpful and the house is fully equipped. We have had a wonderful week in this property and will look forward to coming back.
We had a fantastic stay in friendly beautiful andalusia
Our hosts where very friendly and helpful
Superb swimming pool with showers, toilet, and safe plonch area for the little ones
The villa and pool which are high up in the mountains are perfect for a relaxing holiday away from it all.
The views are amazing and the facilities make for a comfortable time for everyone
Juan and his wife couldnât do enough for us
We will definitely book again
Hemos pasado 10 dĂas de tranquilidad y relax increĂbles la casa perfecta y los exteriores de sueño
Lo que mås me ha gustado son las vistas da igual que haga sol o que llueva todo es bonito en esta casa en los exteriores el olor a Azahar a encinas y a hierbas aromåticas es una pasada. Y los dueños encantadores os mando un saludo.
Rural bliss! Comfortable, well furnished home with everything you could want in the kitchen. Fantastic friendly, helpful hosts who made super recommendations about visits in the local area - clearly a Spanish tourist destination, we had researched but didn't realise just how much there was to do within easy driving distance.
We stayed with teenage children so the pool & wifi were a real bonus, but there was plenty in the local area for them too.
We would definitely recomment the Tourist Office in Preigo de Cordoba as a first stop - wonderfully helpful. (see trip advisor).
We would definitely have returned next year but the dates are already taken!
