If you are looking for paradise this could be it. If peace and beauty are on your list. ForMe and my family this place was even better than the ad promised.
Fantastic house, very easy trip from MĂĄlaga Airport. Beautiful views, superb pool, really huge. This rustic, traditional house was perfect,we had such a great time. Loved using the wood fired pizza oven and the BBQ. Iznajar is a 10 minute drive and is really pretty and charming. Francisco and Juani were perfect hosts, thank you you for a memorable holiday
Wir haben den Aufenthalt richtig genossen. Francisco, Juani und ihr Sohn sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und antworten schnell jede Art von Fragen.
Die Villa liegt Mitte in der Natur (daher in einer sehr ruhigen Umgebung), ist sehr liebevoll dekoriert und ausgestattet, mit allem, was das Herz begehrt: ein groĂer Pool, genug LiegestĂŒhle, ein Grill, ein Pizzaofen (haben wir aber nicht benutzt) und auf jeden Fall genug Platz fĂŒr 2 Familien mit insgesamt 5 Teenagern (4 Zimmer insgesamt).
Das Zentrum des Orts Iznajar ist ca. 8 Kilometer entfernt und ist mit seinem andalusischen Flair ein Ausflug wert.
Von der Villa aus konnten wir mit dem Auto problemlos folgende AusflĂŒge unternehmen:
Fort Bravo little Hollywood (ca. 2 Stunden entfernt)
La Alhambra (bei Granada, ca. 1 Stunde entfernt)
Caminito del Rey (ca. 1 Stunde entfernt)
Kajak auf dem Meer zu den Maro WasserfÀllen (in Nerja, ca. 1,5 Stunde entfernt)
Rundum ein toller Urlaub und wir haben uns gut erholt.
We had a wonderful 6 days here, relaxing, amazing scenery in a spotlessly clean and well equipped traditional renovated house. The owners were friendly and on hand if we needed anything. You need a car to access but shops are 10min drive or 20min for bigger shop. We drove to visit Cordoba, Granada and lake Iznajar during our stay, which were beautiful but we were just as happy, if not more so to stay at the accommodation, having a BBQ and sitting around the swimming pool which is bigger than looks in pictures. The outside area is huge and has shaded areas too if you want to keep out the sun. House is cool with traditionally thick walls and additional air con is provided. Some stairs may be more tricky for very young kids and for tall guests, watch your head when using the en suite đ. Overall we had a great time & highly recommend.
Quaint property , the owners were extremely helpful in terms of our logistical issues ( Ryanair ) and advice on local restaurants . Family of 9 had a great relaxing time .
Los Caracolillos is a traditional Spanish house set in a quiet location. Our family had a fantastic time here and the photos on here do not really do justice to the outside space which is fantastic. The pool is exceptional and very big for a private villa.
The house is very traditional and does have some quirks but is perfect in the setting and, while very secluded, is only 20 minutes from supermarkets and an hour from MĂĄlaga. Francisco and Juani were great hosts and clearly want everything to be right for their guests.
If you want a peaceful stay in a beautiful location with space for the whole family then you will find that here.
Het is een van de meest fijne vakantiehuizen waar we ooit geweest zijn. Het zwembad is werkelijk geweldig. Onze 3 kinderen hebben er heerlijk gespeeld. Er zijn heerlijke schaduw en zonplekjes. Bij het zwembad is ook een fantastische bbq plek. De bedden zijn goed en werkelijk aan alles is gedacht in dit huis. Het is bijzonder karakteristiek!
De supermarkt is iets verder weg dus voor een paar dagen boodschappen doen is wel noodzakelijk. Bij het tankstation dichtbij kun je elke dag verse broodjes kopen.
Het meer van Iznajar is ook het bekijken waard!
Een auto is wel noodzakelijk. B
We komen zeker een keer terug! We hebben een geweldige week gehad!
Spent a week amongst the olive groves in the peace and quiet. Perfect views and lovely pool all within teach of main Andalucian attractions and close to Iznajar. Perfect way to unwind.
Thank you to Juani and Francisco for the most special family holiday. Gorgeous house with the most wonderful views. Weâre weâre so sad to leave and could quite easily spent another 2 weeks there.
The house is immaculate and incredibly comfortable. The pool, wow! Absolutely huge and very clean. The children as well as the adults spent a lot of time in there to cool down when it got too hot.
Property perfectly situated to visit surrounding towns. Lovely restaurants in Iznajar, our favourite was Nelsonâs.
Juani and Francisco were always contactable if we needed any help or questions answered.
Thank you again.
We are a family of 5 who had a great stay.
Juani & family were great hosts and we enjoyed their company whenever they visited to do the pool maintenance, they helped with where to eat & places to visit.
The property was great, clean and in a quiet location, pool great.
We visited the local garage which is a 5 minute drive for fresh bread đ„. The main supermarket was in Rute a 20 minute drive which had everything we needed. We visited Seville, Cordoba, Malaga & Grenada as well as some smaller places, all on the good motorway network which was not far. Weather was exceptionally hot so the pool was great to have. We loved the house & location and would thoroughly recommend. Thank for a great stay Juani, Francisco and Adrian.
We are a family of 3 and spent a very happy week at this beautiful property. The house, pool, terrace and views are out of this world. Everything is super clean and well stocked. The house has everything for a wonderful vacation. The pool is big and perfect for swimming and water games. The large patio has lots of different areas to sit outside to enjoy the sun or keep cool in the shade There is an outside BBQ and pizza oven and we only went out for food a few times. The local restaurants are great but we loved our evening meals by the pool watching the sun go down. . The property reflects the love and hard work the owners Juani and Francesco have put into it. We can highly recommend this property and canât wait to return some day soon. Thank you so much
This property is very special! 6 of us stayed here for a week, wish it had been longer. The property is exactly as described, farmhouse local style. Spotless and great care had been taken to ensure we wanted for nothing. Extremely well equipped, particularly in the kitchen, but elsewhere also - little touches like bin bags, dishwasher tablets, loo roll, laundry, cleaning products, BBQ brickettes and even wood for the pizza oven were welcome especially in the early days before a supermarket shop. Juani and Francesco (owners) are lovely! Very accommodating, quick to respond. All linen provided, including towels and pool towels. The location is idyllic if youâre looking for peace and tranquility, fantastic view over rolling hills covered in olive trees. Pool is a very good size and owners come back mid week to clean one evening. Supermarket approx 20 mins away. Malaga airport 55 mins. I could not fault this property one bit, it ticked every box for us (and weâve stayed in quite a few over the years across Europe) as such we will definitely be back next year, for 2 weeks next time. Thank you Juani and Francesco for everything! Lucy x
Hello, our names are Francisco and Juanie, we are a young married Spanish couple who have realized our dream of owning a house in the Andalucian countryside.
Hello, we are a young married Spanish couple who dreamed of owning a house in the countryside. After looking at many, we arrived here one day and knew we had found the house of our dreams. It was in a state of ruin but had all the typical charm of the older Andalucian houses. We started work and after working for six years at weekends and nights the project was finished. We have done everything ourselves, the building, decorating, the fabrics and much more. Soon after our first son was born and to see him playing around the house fills us with pride. We would like to share our humble dream with those whom we know will enjoy it and it's surroundings as much as we do for their holidays. We send our regards to those who have taken the time to read these few lines. Francisco and Juani
Although you will be in the countryside you will also be less than 15 minutes from the beautiful and historic "pueblo" of Iznajar with its magnificent castle, churches its narrow cobbled streets, it's enormous lake and even its own sandy beach. Within an hour you can be in Granada with Ski slopes and the world famous "Alhambra Palace" also in the same time you can be on the Costa del sol or in Cordoba with its beautiful "Mezquita" It's in a lovely quiet place with magnificent views.
