Ruralidays Reviews

A wonderful stay in a peaceful setting in Torrox, offering superb views. Miguel is an extremely kind, attentive, and helpful host.

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

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.

These few days were fantastic, the house is absolutely perfect, the owner's kindness is exceptional, we will definitely return.

We had a fantastic stay at this property during the long weekend in December. We enjoyed a few days with friends and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Loli was incredibly attentive, charming, and helpful. The house was perfectly equipped; everything was ideal. We will definitely be back!

Super nice, the family responsible for the accommodation is lovely.

We spent eight weeks (October-November) at the villa. It's fully equipped. Nothing is lacking. There's a heated pool and a jacuzzi in a very private location with fantastic views of the sea, mountains, and whitewashed villages. Several good restaurants are nearby.

Successful experience

A very comfortable house with very friendly owners. Beautiful surroundings.

A wonderful place with breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Nature in its purest form. The animals are the true kings of the land. A paradise. We'll definitely be back! The owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you, family!

Had a wonderful week with a one million dollar view

We spent November in this holiday home and felt very comfortable there. The house is beautiful, very clean, and well-equipped – we lacked nothing, even for a longer stay. The view is truly fantastic, and overall, it's very peaceful and private. Francisco was very friendly and helpful. He assisted us with everything related to the house and helped with other things as well. He also brought us delicious fresh fruit and vegetables from his own garden. Although he mostly speaks Spanish, communication was still excellent. The drive to the house is definitely manageable. It's a bit hilly, and the road is narrow in places, but we even managed it well with our 6-meter-long campervan. The beach and promenade are about 10 minutes away by bike or 5 minutes by car. There are also many lovely smaller towns nearby, about a 20-minute drive away, where you can find good restaurants and coffee shops. Málaga is also only about 40 minutes away. Overall, a good location if you have a car: quiet, but not isolated. All in all, we had a very nice month there and would book the house again!

A pleasant setting, a well-equipped house with a beautiful outdoor area. The accommodation met all our expectations.

Beautiful holiday home, very friendly owner

We enjoyed the house and its surroundings for a month, overlooking a valley and the sea. The access road is a challenge, though.

Beautiful property. Pictures don't do it justice. We went in December. The area is 600m above sea level. It was pretty cold and wet. We made the best of it we could. A car is a must and the air conditioning worked as heating in the property. So it wasn't too bad. You certainly need warm clothes at that time of year. That's what you get when your birthday is in December. Local village about 20mins away with a Fab supermarket, petrol station and restaurants. Too far to walk to it or safe on the roads. There is no street lighting around the area and lots of winding roads. About 40 minutes before you get to major roads. The GPS given for the property didn't work. Took us to the wrong location. They need to provide what 3 words for the location. I asked for it with Rural holidays. Works a lot better than GPS. Foam mattress beds which were ok. Not the comfests. With only 2 comfy pillows at the property. The rest were long foam pillows which were not nice to use. Nice and clean property and everything to a high spec and they have covered everything which you require for the stay. We didn't want to leave it. It was perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to go back. Nice to try when it's the warmer season. Can try the pool without nearly dying from hyperthermia! Owners were really friendly and helped us with links for local supermarkets etc. Beautiful place, probably one of the nicest we have stayed in and holiday!

Accommodation with breathtaking views of the Serranía de Ronda. Very peaceful location, close to the town. The owners were very hospitable.

Access to the house was a bit tricky, but the location near the village was fantastic. The bar in Juanete was fantastic, highly recommended. The stay was very pleasant and peaceful.

We loved our stay in this house in Cañada del Real Tesoro. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the kindness of the owners and the person in charge of cleaning and key handover, who was always attentive and ready to help. Access by car is very easy, and the house is located right in the village, with a grocery store just next door. The house is charming, comfortable, and impeccably maintained, ideal for disconnecting and feeling at home from the very first moment. The surrounding area is simply spectacular: unspoiled nature, magnificent landscapes, and countless opportunities for hiking and rural tourism activities. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. We will definitely return. Highly recommended!

It's a lovely house in a beautiful location. You can reach Torrox Costa or the highway in 6 minutes. Depending on the wind, you can hear the highway. The road to the house is about 1 km from the main road. The first 200 meters are unpaved and in very poor condition (large potholes), the last 800 meters are paved but also have very poor sections (large holes in the asphalt), and right in front of the house, the condition is appalling. I understand from the owner that they are working on obtaining a permit to renovate the road. The owner comes once every 10 days to check the pool water, and you often get avocados, tangerines, or (deliciously sweet) mangoes. Contact with the agents, Olga and Veronica, is good and fast. There were only two cups of tea when we arrived. After we reported this, we received four extra cups and two tea glasses the next day! So, that was quickly arranged. There's a small portable radiator for chilly evenings. In short, a lovely house!

Beautiful house, ideal for a few relaxing days and enjoying the surroundings. The owners were very friendly, responded quickly to our questions, and were always ready to help. The house is fully equipped. Highly recommended.

A fantastic house in an exceptional setting, perfect for disconnecting and relaxing. Our host, Manuel, was attentive to every detail, and we had an exceptional weekend.

Ideal for a family outing, spacious outdoor areas and impeccable hygiene.

Next year we will return to this villa for the third time and for the fifth time to a villa owned by José.

Beautiful location, spotlessly clean, wonderful beds. Well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. And a special compliment to Francisco: very hospitable, helpful, and friendly!

It was an incredible experience, the children loved it, Lola is wonderful

We spent four wonderful weeks in Francisco and Remé's beautiful house: breathtaking 360° views, tastefully decorated indoor and outdoor spaces, comfortable beds, ample storage, and a pleasant warmth that enveloped us when the nights got a little cooler. And we haven't even mentioned the fantastic pool with the perfect temperature! The absolute tranquility, the proximity to the sea, Malaga, Granada, and the surrounding white villages made this a truly perfect holiday.

The house and the view are spectacular! We had a wonderful few days with the family. The house is very large and spacious, recently renovated, very well maintained, and fully equipped. It has several outdoor areas and a beautiful pool for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Antonio was very kind and helpful; everything was great! We highly recommend it! We were very satisfied and hope to return soon!

November is a dank,wet and dark month at home in the UK so we escaped to the sunshine ☀️ and had the most wonderful relaxing holiday. Swam everyday. Read lots of books in the sunshine on the daybed by the pool and visited lovely local eateries every morning for breakfast. The hosting family are just truly fabulous and go above and beyond each time. The finca is home from home and we cannot wait for our next stay in January

It was our second time and definitely not the last time. Unfortunately we couldn't book again for next year because it was already full.

.

We had a great time, the house was wonderful and the owners were super friendly and kind.

The house is very lovingly and charmingly decorated. Orgiva is a unique village with a hippie vibe; you'll love that. The Alpujarras are wonderful for hiking. For gastronomy, this isn't the place to be (in winter).

Had a lovely break here in a nice location. Fantastic walks in the National park and visits to the local mountain villages is a must. The owner was very attentive and visited of a morning with fresh fruits from his land.

Swimming in the pool every morning while enjoying a panoramic view and having coffee on the windowsill. We will cherish these memories for a long time.

Friendly people, a wide variety of restaurants, the climate

We enjoyed a very pleasant weekend. The place is peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful, and it's close to El Torcal de Antequera. The bedrooms are in two different sections of the house, with a bathroom between each space.

Very nice stay, wunderfull wiew, garden and pool

Beautiful accommodation, very clean, ideal location and very hospitable owners.

The surrounding villages are charming, with beautiful corners and alleyways. Our favorite was Cómpeta.

We've been coming to Torrox for 13 years and have rented many houses. This finca is among the best in terms of quality and cleanliness. Personally, we found the neighboring houses a little too close together, but that's always a matter of taste and doesn't detract from the charm of this beautiful house and its lovely pool, which we unfortunately couldn't use as the water was much too cold. With a heated pool, the finca would be a fantastic place to spend the winter. We particularly enjoyed the bedroom (with its king-size bed, which is rare) and the en-suite bathroom. Thank you for the delicious fruit basket and the magnificent sunsets.

Perfect to short stay

Beautiful views, but the last 10 minutes of the drive are very winding, even dangerous. Personally, I wouldn't do it again; it was too stressful. The pool is in the shade, so it's quite cold outside of summer.

Really picturesque location, with fabulous access to Frigiliana. Gorgeous gardens with fresh produce. Thanks so much Jose - you were a lovely host.

The location is fantastic and the facilities are top-notch. The owners are welcoming and always ready to help. It's an ideal spot, nestled between climbing areas, shops, and excellent restaurants.

A large, spacious house where every detail is meticulously maintained, very clean, and with a well-equipped kitchen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The villa is fantastic. Extremely welcoming, warm, peaceful, and with a stunning view. We highly recommend it!

The road to the house is truly awful. Not just adventurous or unusual, but downright dangerous. It's full of potholes and treacherous bends. In many places, two cars can't pass each other, and there's little room to maneuver. During our stay, there was construction going on in the house. Apartments were being built in the basement. It was very noisy. The owner had asked us to let him know if it bothered us, but some days we were in the house all day, so of course, the noise was constant.

Miguel was always friendly and helpful and was happy to answer all our questions. He gave us excellent directions to our accommodation, which made our trip easier. He also recommended nearby attractions and was flexible with our departure time. We would definitely return. Everything was perfect!

For the second time, we had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house with a beautiful garden and pool. The separate bathroom is great. Since it got a bit chilly in the evening, we enjoyed using the little stove. The location is nice and quiet, between Nerja and Frigiliana.

Very hospitable and generous owners. Perfect accommodation. Excellent experience.

We spent three wonderful weeks in a fantastic holiday home. The house was very clean and the entire grounds were very well maintained. The house had everything you need for a great holiday. The owner, José, gave us a warm welcome and showed us around. He was always ready to help. We had absolutely no problems during our three weeks. José even provided us with tropical fruit from his own garden, which we really appreciated. The location, with its stunning views of Torrox Costa and the sea, is definitely worth mentioning.

The house is beautiful and comfortable, very well located, and perfectly equipped. The owner is incredibly friendly and hospitable. We will definitely be back.

A very pleasant stay. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable weekend. The house is very well-equipped and brand new. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. We had a problem with our reservation, but she made sure the change went smoothly. We will definitely be back. It's a real pleasure to find such places and people.

The experience was fantastic, with perfect temperatures for the best weekend ever! The owner was attentive from start to finish, and the house had everything we needed. Plus, it's only 9 minutes from town, which was very convenient. Thank you so much!

Lovely, spacious and quietly situated holiday home with all the amenities you need.

We had a wonderful stay in a fantastic location, ideal for two. Communication with the owner was easy and reliable. We would gladly return.

We had a wonderful holiday with the whole family! The weather was fantastic, so we spent a lot of time outside in the lovely garden, swimming or relaxing! The beach and shops are just 10 minutes away. We definitely want to come back!

The villa has everything you need and more. It was clean, well equipped with the most amazing views of the mountains, wildlife and sea. The owner, Jose could not have been more helpful. The road to the villa was a little narrow and windy in parts however we soon became used to the pull ins and areas to watch out for other vehicles. We have experienced much worse and understand that this is to be expected for rural locations in Spain. Overall a wonderful villa and we fully intend to return. Thank you , Jose.

A remote location surrounded by nature.

Beautiful place and incredibly friendly owner! We had a wonderful time with our family (2 adults and 2 children (3.5 and 1.5 years old)). Good to know: there are no toys for small children, and there are many steps inside and a lowered seating area. So, a little attention is required. The outdoor pool is also easily accessible for children and therefore dangerous, as are the steps. Be aware of this if you come with children. The pool is not heated, and it was far too cold for our children (in November). We enjoyed it every day, though :) Tip: bring your own salt, pepper, oil, and garbage bags. None were provided. However, there was a nice wine, a bottle of water, and a full fruit bowl!

Charming and well-equipped villa with spectacular gardens. Perfect for a large group; we arrived with several vehicles, including caravans, and there is ample parking.

The house and its location with the view are fantastic! Brand new, fully equipped, and the owner, Lina, is incredibly helpful.

Beautiful house, very well-equipped, and in a wonderful location. You always need a car to get around. Antequera and El Torcal are well worth a visit. Juan is a fantastic host. A welcome with delicious fruit and a nice bottle of wine. Fantastic!

We spent 10 days in the villa with eight people (two families), and it was every bit as beautiful as the photos show. We could hardly believe it when we first walked in Villa Selena we had never stayed in such a fantastic place and were absolutely thrilled. Everything is designed with such taste, care, and attention to detail. This isn’t just a property that was quickly built, but one clearly created with a lot of heart. Our local host, Manuel, was extremely friendly, warm, and attentive. Beyond the villa, we loved the area around the charming town of Antequera and the great location for numerous day trips — all within about 1.5 hours’ drive. We even visited El Torcal twice because the kids enjoyed it so much. We’ll definitely be back!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet, the beautiful spacious veranda and the view.

A truly charming house, absolutely magnificent, and spotlessly clean! Located in the hills of Nerja, designed in an authentic Andalusian style, with breathtaking views of the sea and the Nerja valley, it's simply incredible!

A warm welcome and always available for questions. The location is perfect, not too far from the beach and close to the highway for visiting other areas.

Easy access, close to the city. The house is beautiful, cozy, and fully furnished. The owner is friendly and showed us around upon arrival.

We had a wonderful stay at Jose's Cave. The place is truly special, beautiful, and very peaceful. Everything here has so much charm, with countless little corners where each visit is unique. You can feel the care and time Jose has invested in every detail. A sense of tranquility pervades the entire property, and it also boasts a fantastic location, just a couple of minutes from a large town with all the amenities you could need, yet secluded from the hustle and bustle but easily accessible. There are a multitude of activities to enjoy nearby, fantastic hiking trails, and beautiful places to visit. It is undoubtedly a unique setting. We are so grateful to Jose for the wonderful welcome and stay he provided, and we highly recommend this place to everyone. We can't wait to return for a longer stay :)

Great stay. The house is very well equipped.

The location is perfect; it's true that access isn't entirely straightforward, but following the owner's instructions, arrival is straightforward. Both houses are well-equipped with everything you need (whatever you require, they'll likely have it—amazing!), spacious, pleasant, and very clean. Ideal for large groups without feeling cramped. It's fantastic for children, offering plenty of exercise options. The photos and information on the website don't fully capture everything the property has to offer. One thing to note: the larger house has two bathrooms, both on the ground floor, while there's no bathroom upstairs where the bedrooms are. This might be a bit inconvenient for children or elderly people using the stairs to get to the bathroom at night, but it shouldn't be a problem. The owners are very attentive and readily available to answer any questions.

Waking up in this country house was a real treat: peace and quiet, nature, and incredible views of the lake. The house is exactly as pictured and meticulously maintained. The owner was delightful and always very attentive to our needs. Definitely a great choice!

The house has a lovely pool and a huge outdoor area with plenty of seating. The view was fantastic. The decor is rustic Spanish.

Everything. It has everything. I would only improve one thing, having gone with children: the pool should be fenced. Otherwise, a 10/10

Magnificent villa with a superb garden/pool equipped with a barbecue and a ping-pong table, located in the middle of a valley.

Andalusia is a beautiful part of Spain with very friendly people and choice of accommodation. Casa ------------- is a stunning place to stay. Noelia was fast to answer any concerns, the meet point was smooth and we felt very looked after. The positive words from all the travellers before are all true! The road leading up to it is pretty well paved, yes it is steep in places but that's what gives you the reward of the views. We have stayed in this area before and you do just get used to the drive. All areas were clean with lots of towels and tea towels to hand. and the villa itself is beautifully finished and very comfortable to live in. The pool area is gorgeous although the water was very cold as it is not heated, we used it as a daily challenge to have a swim, it was brilliant! The unique aspect of this villa though is the views, to be able to see the sunset and sunrise and all of what goes in-between was just jaw dropping. With the huge postcard like window at the front that overlooks everything was a very well thought out design feature, it allows you to still see it all when you are inside as well, the sunsets were some of the deepest red we have ever seen. The attention to detail did not disappoint here and like many others before we would absolutely not hesitate in returning. The kitchen was well stocked and the coffee machines were a good touch, the outdoor kitchen with fridge was also well designed. We really did have a wonderful time and was also blessed with great weather too. Perfecto! Many thanks again for having us.

The location and the house were great. The house was very clean and equipped with everything that you might need. The owner was always available in case we needed something, but it was not the case. The property is very conveniently located, very close to the villages. The heated pool was a very good addition in late October, our kids enjoyed it. We will definitely try to return with the soonest occasion!

We had a wonderful holiday. We went on many excursions. We enjoyed the beautiful house and pool. The terrace offers an incredible view. We also used the barbecue.

Isabel is a charming and attentive owner. The house was clean and very well equipped. Its proximity to El Torcal is ideal for a nature getaway. Thank you for the cake, it was delicious!

It's a spacious holiday home with all the amenities and a beautiful view. The road to it is indeed narrow and bumpy, but certainly manageable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photos are accurate. Contacting the owner is quick and easy.

Cinema weekend in Archidona with friends in a super well-equipped house

We spent a weekend relaxing in nature with our baby and it was wonderful. The house is fantastic, very well maintained and equipped with everything. The double bed and pillow were incredibly comfortable. The owners were lovely. We will definitely be back.

Beautifully decorated and well-equipped house with a stunning view of the Torcal. The lovely pool and peaceful garden add up to a wonderful stay. Outstanding hosts. Ideal for families. Highly recommend!

The holiday home is beautifully situated above Torrox Costa, surrounded by orchards. The furnishings are modern, the bed is comfortable, the pool is small but nice, the kitchen is well-equipped, and there's a Dolce Gusto coffee machine that works perfectly. The owner, José, gave us delicious mangoes from his own orchard. The drive to the house is quite an adventure, but we've gotten used to it. We would have liked to book the house again, but it was already fully booked for our desired dates.

This house has everything you could possibly need and more. Absolute privacy, a heated pool (26°C), a jacuzzi (36°C), awnings around the conservatory, and a lovely outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and gas stove. It's perfect for spending the winter. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather. The bedrooms are air-conditioned. The views are magnificent. We will definitely be back.

Sebastian's accommodation was exactly as pictured, which was very pleasant; we didn't encounter any unpleasant surprises. His partner and daughter welcomed us and showed us around, making us feel at ease. The villa was very clean, as was the pool. It's important to remember the directions to the villa the first time you drive, as there are two entrances, one easier than the other. The villa is nestled in the Las Nieves Mountains, and the views are breathtaking. The towns of Tolox and Coin are beautiful and ideal for shopping, strolling, and enjoying tapas.

The house is in a stunning setting. It's also very well-equipped; you'll find everything you need. The house is very clean and, above all, very warm. It has several fireplaces, and Josefina had them ready for our arrival. The grounds are huge, and the children had a fantastic time. 100% recommended.

We had a wonderful few days at Casa de la ---------. The house is incredibly comfortable, spotlessly clean, and the decor is absolutely charming, with attention to detail. It's clearly a new house, very well-equipped, and designed for relaxation: the mattresses are high-quality, and the air conditioning makes staying there perfect at any time of day. The playroom was a complete surprise. We spent hours laughing and having fun there, and it was one of the best things about the house. We would especially like to thank Paloma for her attention, her kindness, and her willingness to respond to everything we needed. It's a pleasure to find hosts like her. Without a doubt, an experience we will definitely repeat.
