Villa Description
Let the sun shine in !
This neat and attractive corner house apartment is a charming place to stay. Enjoy all the amenities of the lovely village and fabulous views too.
This attractive, two bedroomed corner house in the classic white village of Gaucín enjoys good views across some of Andalucìa's most wonderful countryside. Because prices vary depending on the number in your party, it is a good option either for a small family or for a couple on their own.
It's a first and second floor apartment (there is a garage underneath but it doesn't belong to the house), accessed by a short flight of stairs from the quiet street below.
One enters directly into the living room / dining room / open plan kitchen. With windows on three sides, it's an attractive room, light and sunny. Wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta floor tiles give it that unmistakable Andaluz ambience.
A wood burning stove and electric wall heaters make it suitable for winter holidays, too.
An idyllic scene
The surrounding countryside is beautiful, spectacular and ever-changing as the hours pass by. It's a view to be enjoyed for ever.
French windows open to two terraces, a smaller one which is covered, a good spot for eating out on long summer nights, and a larger open terrace which enjoys the view over village roof tops to the hills and valleys all around.
And what a wonderful view it is! Overlooking the valley of the Rio Genal far below, the mountains on either side open up to reveal the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains of Morocco beyond the shimmering sea.
All around, the majestic scenery of the Serranía de Ronda provides brilliant brush strokes of colour and contrast. It's a view which can be enjoyed for ever.
The two bedrooms (one double and one twin) and the bathroom are upstairs. The double room has windows on both sides.
Just a stroll away
Here you enjoy the best of both world's ... a quiet corner spot towards the bottom of the village but just minutes away from bars, restaurants and shops
Being in the village (albeit in a quiet corner), it's easy to stroll out to one of the restaurants here, perhaps to enjoy a tapa or two before dinner.
Gaucín is one of the classic white villages of Spain and has just about all the facilities you will need - small shops, a chemist, banks and, of course, several bars and restaurants.
And, as everywhere in Andalucía, more than its fair share of fiestas, traditional Saints days and processions, each an excuse for merrymaking and dancing.
There's plenty to do close at hand quite apart from enjoying the village and its wonderful views: this part of Andalucia is a paradise for walking, exploring, riding and bird watching. There is beautiful countryside in every direction.
It is also an ideal base for day trips to towns like Ronda, Jerez, Cádiz and Sevilla. There are delightful little villages to explore, Mediterranean beaches are half an hour's drive away; the Atlantic coast with its fine white sand and famous wind surfing is one and a half hours drive.
There is no swimming pool at the house but in mid-summer the municipal pool (and tennis courts) are among the most immaculately kept in southern Spain.
Quite simply, here you will enjoy all that is good in one of the great Spanish rural holiday destinations.

Around and About
This is an excellent base from which to explore this delightful and very beautiful part of Andalucía.
Excursions
- La Costa del Sol with its wealth of sandy beaches, sun, fun and nightlife is just 30 minutes away. Resort towns include Estepona (45 minutes) and glitzy, glamorous Marbella (under an hour).
- Gibraltar, steeped in history, VAT free shops … and plenty of fish & chips is 1¼ hours away.
- Tarifa on the southernmost point of Spain is 1½ hours from here. Looking directly across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco, Africa is so close you feel that you can almost touch it!
- Beyond lie mile upon mile of magnificent white beaches on Spain's Atlantic coast, La Costa de la Luz.
- A taste of Morocco perhaps? The fast boat from Tarifa to Tangiers takes 35 minutes, so you can be exploring the local souks in just a few hours. Fascinating and colourful, it really is a different world.
- Spain's unique sherry wine region (Jerez and Sanlúcar), is well worth a visit, enhanced no doubt by stopping at one or two of the famous bodegas along the way! Jerez de la Frontera is 2 hours.
- Cádiz (2¼ hours) continues to evoke the romance, intrigue and mystery of centuries of trade (some legal, some not so) between Europe, Africa and the Americas.
- One of Europe's most important wetland reserves and bird sanctuaries, the Doñana National Park, is a popular attraction for nature lovers (4 hours). Its enormous variety of bird species include everything from flamingos to imperial eagles.
- A beautiful road winds over the spectacular mountains to Ronda (45 minutes), with its spectacular gorge and Spain's oldest bullring, Hemmingway’s favourite town in all of Spain.
- Sevilla takes 2½ hours. It is impossible not to be captivated by its exuberant atmosphere: stylish, confident, ancient and proud, yet also convivial, intimate and fun-loving. If you don't know what alegría means, Sevilla is the place to learn!
- The fantastic railway between Algeciras on the coast and Ronda, to the north, stops at the little pueblo of Colmenar (20 minutes away). One of Europe’s great short railway journeys, running through landscapes which offer constantly plunging and spectacular views, this is a remarkable and wonderful way to see some of Andalucía's best and most dramatic countryside.
- There are a plethora of beautiful white villages and hilltop towns to explore and enjoy in the magnificent countryside of the Serranía de Ronda – Jimena de la Frontera, Casares and Genalguacil to name but a few.
- Nearby National Parks include the fabulous Los Alcornocales Natural Park and the Grazalema National Park, one of the most beautiful tracks of mountain anywhere in Europe. Jagged peaks, gorges, chasms, faults and caves, underground rivers and deep canyons are interspersed, here and there, by some of the prettiest villages in Spain, Grazalema, Zahara, Setenil and the other famous "pueblos blancos".
- Córdoba and Granada are both 3 hours drive from here
