Ruralidays Reviews

The accommodation is quite good, and the rural setting is lovely. The house has all the necessary amenities, a fireplace, blankets, etc… very comfortable. I would definitely return.

Lovely villa tucked away between Coin and Guaro. We stayed in January and so it was very quiet. Property is pretty much as described and the photographs on the website are very accurate. Living room and bedroom are large for two people and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. Outside the garden is surrounded by fruit trees and is quite private. The pool iswell kept although a little chilly in January! Host is perfect! Kind and generous. Many reviews talk about his visits with fruit from his farm and co-operative. Visits are discreet and not in any way intrusive; he's very aware of the need for guests to have privacy. He was very available - living just a few minutes away. We had a couple of problems with the TV and WIFI which were very quickly resolved. Property is very Andalucian. You definitly need a car if stopping here. You can only really walk from the property to the main road where there is then a small garage/shop. Great place, great host. Would recommend and visit again

When we returned, the sun was shining and the view was magnificent! Unfortunately, the weather changed and clouds enveloped us. Luckily, we had brought enough supplies and were able to settle comfortably in this secluded spot.

We rented this house for a few weeks, and it's a lovely place to stay. It's fully equipped. The location is great and easily accessible, although you do need to get used to the local area a bit, as you have to drive through the village. This house is also great to stay in during the winter, as it has a very good wood-burning stove. The owner is friendly and regularly checks on everything, and if there's anything, he's always there to help.

Beautiful house! Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful we've visited in the country. Immaculate, clean, and perfectly equipped, it's exceptionally beautiful, with refined decor and a privileged location, ideal for relaxing and recharging your batteries. Sebastian is an exceptional host, always attentive and incredibly friendly. I recommend it without hesitation.

We loved the house. So satisfied were we that we even extended our stay by a week. The access, partly via a dirt track with a few potholes, is perfectly manageable. Inside, the furniture is modern and the rooms are bright thanks to their large windows. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast in the armchairs overlooking the surrounding landscape. A small pellet stove provides pleasant warmth and a cozy atmosphere. The internet connection (100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload) is sufficient for working. Unfortunately, the bedroom door is sliding and doesn't soundproof, which makes working difficult. We were lucky enough to meet the very friendly owner, even though the rest of the booking was handled by a very professional agency. The owner was very helpful. We would gladly return.

A truly beautiful, very well-maintained, and spacious villa in a fantastic location with a large pool and a lovely terrace. The amenities, both inside and out, leave nothing to be desired. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

The house is in excellent condition and very well located, close to the town center and supermarkets. The owner, Blanca, was very kind and attentive throughout our stay. We would definitely return.

It's a beautiful house in a stunning setting. It feels like coming home to be there again.

It's a lovely little house; the pool was lovely with sun loungers, but it was too cold for that. The surrounding area is beautiful, and we enjoyed lovely walks around Orgiva. Orgiva itself is also charming, with a market on Thursdays. From here, we could easily go to Malaga or Montril for a beach or city walk.

A beautiful, lovingly furnished holiday home with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The house is in excellent condition; the photos are 100% accurate.

A great experience

Generally very relaxing

Lovely house in a beautiful location.

The accommodation was very well equipped and close to the village.

There were several families and we were very comfortable. There are also plenty of bathrooms, which was very helpful when it came to getting organized.

A very nice house where you can have a wonderful time. There is a supermarket, bakery and butcher around the corner, as well as several cafes and restaurants. The beach is wonderful and you can walk or run for miles to the next villages.

We had really nice time in villa with our family and we felt welcome. Thank you for oranges, they were really tasty. Beds were very wide and comfortable. The yard was big, sunny and there was everything that we needed.

Once again we have had a wonderful stay. Much cooler than we were expecting but the hosting family provided us with every comfort. Did a lot of walking and drinking of cafe con leches in various little cafes which was wonderful Can’t wait for our next stay in March

The accommodation was very well located and very comfortable, the view is incredible

We had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful, comfortable villa. Mario and his family were efficient, attentive, and very friendly hosts. We highly recommend them.

We moved to this area for work, and this accommodation met our needs perfectly. The landlord is attentive and responsible.

Lovely villa near Nerja in a quiet location with good views from the terrace. A perfect place to relax. The driveway up is very steep but you get used to it!

The house is very well equipped; nothing was missing. Other towns are easily and quickly accessible.

This house is beautifully situated with stunning views and terraces. It does have its drawbacks: very difficult to heat in winter, not suitable for elderly people and small children due to a steep slope to the pool and fourth bedroom, hot water only in the evenings, and intermittent internet. If the owner follows our recommendations, this could also be a wonderful holiday home in winter. Despite everything, we still enjoyed it.

The experience at the house was excellent. It's clean, spacious, and incredibly well-equipped. It's a shame the weather wasn't better so we could have enjoyed the outdoors and all the amenities it offers, but we'll definitely be back. José Antonio was also always available and willing to help us with anything we needed.

The view is stunning, and we even enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi in January. The house is bright and very functional. The heating, essential in January, works very efficiently. The cottage is perfectly equipped, and the bedding is excellent. The cleanliness and overall condition are perfect. We highly recommend it!

Beautifully furnished with everything you need, nestled in the countryside, in a pleasant and peaceful setting, yet only a 15-minute walk from the town centre or a 20-minute walk from the beach.

Lydia and Jose are truly wonderful hosts – friendly, helpful, and always available. The two of us stayed in their beautiful house between Christmas and New Year's. We wanted for nothing; everything was there to make us feel completely at home. Everything was even lovingly decorated for Christmas, and as a welcome gift, we were greeted with pastries, sparkling wine, water, and two non-alcoholic drinks. On New Year's Eve, they brought us vegetables, fresh ham, and shrimp. We felt very, very welcome. Such hosts are truly exceptional! Fantastic. 👌

Our four-day stay at the house was wonderful; everything was perfect, each room with its own bathroom and heating. The house was very spacious with two kitchens, and the garden with the pool created a picture-perfect scene. We had a wonderful New Year's Eve with a large table for 12 and a fireplace that warmed the house. Thank you.

It's a beautiful house for families and we loved the fireplace in December!

Lovely hosts. Spectacular views. Great pool with outstanding views.

FANTASTIC. We love this villa stayed here before it is very clean,spacious, comfey equipted very well the views are stunning and the owner sebastian and his wife are wonderful they are very helpful very kind and they stay intouch with us through out our stay to make sure we are all ok thank you

I don't usually leave reviews, but in this particular case, I wanted to share Fernando's excellent service and hospitality with future customers. His attentiveness, kindness, and especially his efficiency in responding to our requests were remarkable. We learned that it's a family business run by the owners themselves, and that makes all the difference.

Very well-maintained, very clean, and excellently equipped.

The house is beautiful; the photos don't do it justice. In person, it's even more beautiful. It's in a charming location with plenty of space for children, and everything is clean and tidy. The river flows right by the house, and the sound of it is wonderful. The village is a 5-minute drive away for shopping; it's easily accessible. I'll definitely be back.

We had a great few days, great location, very well-equipped house, very comfortable beds and spectacular scenery.

Awesome! We had a truly wonderful honeymoon. It's located in the countryside, with very few people, and some sheep and horses here and there, and some dogs. But otherwise, it's peaceful and quiet with a beautiful view. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended for a getaway, definitely do it!

We had a fantastic week. We especially enjoyed the surroundings, perfect for completely unwinding, and María, the owner.

Holiday home in a beautiful, very quiet location with a fantastic sea view. 👍 The access road takes some getting used to and isn't suitable for all drivers. We managed, and after 5 weeks it was no longer a problem. 🥹😁

Great house! Nice pool and enough space for 4 people. It’s close to Granada and to the sea and there’s a very nice restaurant nearby! (Biodurcal)

It was a fantastic place to stay, the view was fabulous, the gardens were huge and beautiful. Simply fabulous!

Carmen and Diego were simply fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely recommended! The house was even more beautiful than the photos. The location is fantastic, in the middle of the mountains, with a lovely outdoor area that gets the sun all day. Maurice and his family were wonderful hosts; we even had a Christmas tree in the living room. We once had a power outage (which happens frequently here), and Maurice was there within 15 minutes to help us. In winter, as in any Andalusian house, it can get a bit colder, so the fireplace was very welcome. Another plus: the kitchen is perfectly equipped! There were fresh avocados and oranges from the orchard. In short, we will definitely be back and would recommend this house without hesitation!

The surroundings, the view, and the exterior of the house are beautiful! The interior of the house could use some improvement.

Awesome

Choosing Elena's apartment in Setenil was a great decision. The apartment is beautiful, tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable, and everything is brand new and spotlessly clean. Elena is always available and pays attention to every detail. Thank you, Elena, for everything, and perhaps we'll come back someday.

An exceptional stay in a very welcoming setting with an excellent location. The house is fully equipped, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. A true pleasure, and a place I will definitely return to with my family.

Perfect

The accommodation was fantastic, fully equipped and in perfect condition.

Very nice house. Very clean. Plenty of appliances and amenities. Beautiful exterior. Very high-quality finishes.

The accommodation is very clean and fully equipped, making for an extra relaxing stay. There are two bathrooms with toilets, one of which is ensuite in the bedroom. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are truly luxurious, and you can relax at the outdoor bar while preparing something delicious on the built-in BBQ. The accommodation is located in the mountains, and the drive down (and up) takes about 30 minutes. A bit less enjoyable if you're feeling car sick. The owner and family are very helpful and friendly!

We were very happy with the holiday home. Mario is a fantastic host.

Our stay was fantastic. The house is beautiful and fully equipped for a relaxing holiday. We all left wanting to return when the weather is better, so we could enjoy the wonderful outdoor space even more. Rogelio was always attentive and helpful, always ready to assist us with anything we needed. We highly recommend this accommodation.

very good experience

Communication with the owners was smooth, in English. They provided local, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and if anything was missing, it was quickly taken care of. We traveled with two Labradors, and that also went smoothly.

Wonderful.

The property is very well-equipped and offers very comfortable spaces, both inside and out; the owner is fantastic. It's one of the best country houses in the area. We will definitely be back.

Our stay in this apartment in the Malaga region was excellent. The sea views from every balcony are truly spectacular and can be enjoyed at any time of day. The location is excellent, ideal for easily exploring the area and enjoying it without any hassle. The apartment has all the necessary amenities; it is comfortable, well-equipped, and very pleasant for both short and long stays. Private parking is a big plus, especially in this area. The experience was so good that we decided to extend our stay by a few days, which speaks volumes about the comfort and how comfortable we felt. Without a doubt, highly recommended, and we would love to return.

Despite being there during rainy days, it was very good.

The villa is a dream for the warmer months. It's tastefully decorated, fully equipped, and incredibly spacious. The gardens are also beautifully maintained and a perfect place to relax surrounded by nature. The ping-pong table was a great bonus. We were there at the end of December, and the temperatures fluctuated between 8 and 13°C. The air conditioning in the living room didn't heat the large space. On the contrary, we were constantly exposed to a cold draft. We quickly became ill. The fireplace was stocked with firewood. We bought some, but soon discovered that it didn't draw well and didn't have a grate for proper air circulation. Because the smoke kept coming into the living room, it was impossible to heat it. The sun didn't rise until around 10:00 AM. In short, we 100% recommend the house for the warmer months. Definitely not in December. Miguel was very helpful and attentive.

This house is a dream, perfect for the winter months, especially with its conservatory, jacuzzi, and outdoor kitchen. The abundance of kitchen utensils makes cooking a real pleasure. The views are breathtaking, and getting there is no problem at all. Most of the road is paved and easily accessible in a regular car, even in heavy rain. The bed is very spacious and comfortable (something that isn't always the case in Spain). The quiet but powerful air conditioners heat the house quickly. When we had a few cooler days, José even brought a portable heater for the conservatory. José is the perfect host: always friendly, approachable, helpful, and attentive. In short, we felt very comfortable despite the coldest Christmas in Spain in 15 years. We would love to return.

I recommend this house for its location and the very well-maintained facilities.

We were a couple with two teenage daughters. We enjoyed a wonderful winter stay, with the warmth of the fireplace and wood-burning stove—everything was perfect. It was the ideal setting to unwind and easily access Sierra Nevada, as our daughters were going skiing. We enjoyed some lovely family time. We would definitely like to return.

A wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle and relax in peace, with a spectacular view. The hostess was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent state of maintenance, both in summer and winter. We were able to completely unwind and enjoy a peaceful New Year's Eve together.

It was a great stay. Of course we were in December and this year we were not so lucky with weather and as the pool is without heating option, we couldn’t use it. Although I must say that the host was so kind and keep it clean and filled with water. Everything that you need for comfortable stay, was available in the house. Wifi was not perfect, but ok. Inside room doors are not providing a lot of privacy as they can’t be closed fully. The view was absolutely amazing. We were brought oranges from plantation to make fresh orange juice every morning:-) Due to bad weather condition we were out of power several hours, but the owner organized generator to make sure it will not happen again. Also fire wood was brought for fire place. Nice bbq area and equipment. We also received year end nice gift from the owner:-)

The owner was very kind and attentive, and the house was very welcoming with every detail thought of. We will definitely return.

A group of friends and I spent New Year's Eve there and had a fantastic time. The house was very comfortable and spacious, with excellent amenities and beautiful natural surroundings. The owners were very kind and friendly!

Everything was perfect: the hosts, the house, the amenities, and the location. Not a single negative.

Everything was great. We loved spending a few days in the country house, completely disconnecting, enjoying the firewood and the surroundings.

Everything was wonderful. Thank you so much for everything, Charo! We were very comfortable and warm in the house. Thank you for your kindness and attention. The house has a fantastic location, with beautiful views of the olive groves. It's easy to get to, with good roads throughout. The house is close to the village by car, which has shops and restaurants. The farmhouse is very spacious and consists of several independent houses, with plenty of rooms to ensure everyone's comfort. The living room is large and has a big dining table, which meant we could all sit comfortably together. The outdoor areas were lovely, although because we went in winter we couldn't enjoy them as much. Charo and her husband are incredibly friendly, and communication with them was excellent. In short, a highly recommended stay.

We went there to completely unwind and have no one around, and we chose the absolutely perfect place. The cleanliness was impeccable, as were the house's amenities. The dinners cooked in the wood-fired oven were fantastic. Rosa left more than enough firewood for our entire stay, and honestly, it's wonderfully cozy by the fireplace in the winter. I could go on all day praising the house, our stay, and Rosa, the owner. A perfect 10!

Everything was excellent! Thank you so much!

Very good

The dining room was very large, but the fireplace heated the entire room. There was more than enough firewood for our entire stay. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The dining tables were large and spacious, perfect for eating and playing board games. The pool was large, although we didn't use it because it was winter, but the barbecue and pool area were spacious and well-maintained. There was ample parking. The owner was very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help when we needed him.

A very beautiful and relaxing setting. Perfect for family gatherings.

It's a very comfortable house in every way: a large kitchen, three bathrooms, all the kitchen utensils you could possibly need, and beautiful views. It's a spectacular house.

It was a perfect place.

Agree

Pasamos la Navidad de 2025 en esta finca en Arenas y no puedo decir más que fue una experiencia maravillosa. La estancia fue fantástica desde el primer momento. Hacía bastante frío, un clima totalmente invernal, y cuando llegamos el propietario ya nos estaba esperando con la chimenea encendida y leña preparada, un detalle que marcó la diferencia. Durante esos días pedimos más leña porque queríamos mantener el fuego encendido todo el día debido al frío, y José fue increíblemente atento. Volvió el día 24 con más leña, regresó nuevamente el día 26 y siempre con la mejor predisposición. Tanto José como Yoli, su esposa, fueron unos anfitriones muy cercanos, atentos y amables, pendientes de que no nos faltara nada en ningún momento. Todo salió perfecto y nos sentimos muy a gusto, como en casa. La finca es ideal para pasar unos días en familia o con amigos, especialmente en fechas especiales. Sin duda, esperamos volver en otra ocasión. Recomendable 100%.

The house is modern and very well equipped. The location is excellent and peaceful. The hosts are very friendly and their hospitality was exceptional.

We enjoyed a very nice Christmas in a setting with privileged views.

We really enjoyed this family stay by the fireside.

The house is beautifully situated with fantastic views. The winding road uphill takes some getting used to the first time, but it's only a 5-minute drive. The house has excellent facilities, with two bathrooms and an additional toilet. The house was very clean. All the essentials were provided, such as soap, dish soap, herbs, etc. The garden was wonderful with several places to sit. The pool was full (December), but it was too cold to swim. It was lovely to sit in the garden, sheltered from the wind, in the sun. We also made extensive use of the table tennis table, which had bats and balls provided. There are lovely day trips to be made nearby, such as Malaga, Frigiliana, hiking La Sentillas, Nerja, Benalmedena, Salobrena, etc. The highway is easily accessible from the house. We highly recommend the house to everyone!

What a beautiful house!!!! Loved it. Planning to come back in two years at the same house. My kids did not wanted to explore outside for three days and wanted to spend all day at the house. Beautiful location and very safe place!!!

A well-designed house for a group of several families. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Access is a bit tricky via paths through olive groves. Don't forget the bread!

Wonderful villa on top of a hill

The location and the house, with everything you need, are fantastic. But above all, the tranquility makes it a place you'll want to return to. And the friendliness of the owners certainly deserves a mention.

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday and felt right at home, very comfortable.

Very comfortable house. We asked Andrés to heat the house and it was perfect when we arrived. Although we couldn't use it due to the season, the pool is beautiful. Fully equipped kitchen and lovely fireplace.
