In a beautiful valley just outside Ronda, this spacious and welcoming villa has a great location, lovely gardens and a pool to match ...
"The villa had everything we could have wished for our family holiday, even with a 15 month baby in tow! Thank you".
One of three superb villas on a wonderful, 3½ acre countryside estate, this lovely property is, like the others, completely private and self-contained with its own entrance, driveway, gardens and swimming pool.
Accessed by a quiet country lane, it is just ten minutes west of Ronda in the beautiful Llano de la Cruz valley. To one side are spectacular views of the Sierra de Ronda and to the other a beautiful vista of fertile, undulating farmland.
Features of the estate include extensive landscaped gardens, mature orchards of olive and citrus, walnut and almond, quince and medlar, as well as a beautifully maintained garden surrounding each villa. There is also a vegetable garden, fish pond and a fountain.
Apart from the very occasional passing of a small-gauge railway which runs close by, there’s nothing here to disturb the countryside peace and harmony.
"This is the most comfortable holiday villa we have ever stayed in. There was a lovely homely atmosphere and an extremely well equipped kitchen".
The villa is completely hidden from the others by graceful trees, foliage and fencing. There is covered parking for two cars at the end of the driveway. The villa’s own landscaped, lawned garden is a real delight, colourfully planted and featuring an irresistible 10 m x 5 m swimming pool.
Simply relaxing here, soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine, taking a refreshing dip or two in the pool, this is the perfect holiday antidote to the stresses of modern life.

"If anyone wishes to find a haven to rest in, while exploring the stunning scenery in the mountains beyond Ronda, this is the place".
Inside, the villa is spacious and tastefully decorated. All on one level, the sitting room / diner is a large, light and airy space, attractively furnished, with views across the garden and pool. French doors open to the terrace.
The house has electric night storage radiators and an open fireplace to keep you snug in winter; all rooms have overhead fans to keep you cool in summer. Other facilities include a TV (for DVD and video playback), a CD/Radio and an extensive video and DVD library.
The well proportioned, fully fitted kitchen has all mod-cons including a four hob burner, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine.
The three large bedrooms (one double and two twin bedded) each have their own en-suite bath or shower room. They are stylishly and thoughtfully furnished and, with their duvets and electric blankets, each offers warmth as well as comfort.
"I have no hesitation in recommendng this villa as THE place to stay near the very beautiful Ronda"..
Just ten minutes from this haven of rural peace and tranquillity, Ronda, known to locals as the “The City of Dreams” has a fascinating history and a character to match.
An ancient hill town, it straddles the almost vertical, extraordinary Tajo Gorge which plunges to a depth of more than 150 metres.
The oldest part of the town, the original citadel fortress of the Moors, lies to the east of gorge, a labyrinth of winding streets with ancient mansion houses, churches and enchanting little squares. There are breathtaking vistas from many of the bars and restaurants out across the gorge to the surrounding mountains.
The newer part of the town began to grow when the famous bridge was finally completed at the end of the 19th century. This is a bustling area of small shops, bars and restaurants and the site of Andalucia’s most famous bullring.
"Beautifully equipped with everything you could need. The gardens and pool providing a wonderful place to relax and spend time with family or friends".
To the east of the town is the pristine Sierra de la Nieves National Park, recently declared a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, and to the west is the Grazalema National Park, a really beautiful mountainous area, home to some of the most diverse flora and fauna in Spain. A series of pretty, traditional pueblos blancos are all within easy driving distance. The walking and bird watching here are amongst the best in Europe.
So, there’s plenty to do around and about. Whether you want to explore the wonderful nature, breathtaking vistas and first class hiking of the National Parks, discover the culture and traditions of historic Ronda, explore the enchanting villages or maybe venturing further, to Sevilla or the coastal resorts of Puerto Banus, San Pedro and Marbella, there’s something for everyone.
And what better, at the end of a lovely day, than to return here to your own little piece of Andalusian country paradise!
For two or more families wishing to holiday together but wanting a degree of independence from one another, the property can also be rented in conjunction with one of the other two villas on the estate.
