Ruralidays Reviews

It was a very good experience

A very good experience, I will repeat.

Everything is perfect

Highly recommended to disconnect for a few days and enjoy the atmosphere of tranquility

A great experience, the location of the house is an hour and a bit from Seville, Granada, Cordoba or Malaga. The house is very well equipped and the rooms are very spacious.

Modern house, well equipped and with all the equipment for a perfect rural weekend.

Wonderful week in November in a beautiful house with beautiful views. The house has everything you need. Nice trip to Alahambra and Caminito de Rey, among others. A bit of a drive but definitely worth it. You must take into account that the drive to the house over a narrow road takes about 20 minutes. If there are any problems, it is easy to contact the landlord. We didn't need that.

Very friendly and pleasant, as well as formal, contacts. The place is beautiful with sea views, in the middle of the countryside and mountains. Ideal for disconnecting. Very recommendable.

Wonderful family weekend, there were 16 of us and the common areas were very pleasant and we could all be there. The Hamman is a very positive point, and the owners Margarita, Javier and her son Álvaro are very attentive to all needs. The kitchen is very small for the type of house

Everything great, highly recommended. The treatment and proximity make everything very easy. To repeat.

We spent a very nice weekend with friends. The house is great, very clean and with an impressive exterior.

Very happy with our stay. Very clean accommodation. Top owner who listens to his customers. We loved this village near the sea.

Fantastic vacation in a fantastic farm :)

Great house, beautiful location, between Nerja and Frigiliana, sea view. Swimming pool fine. Interior somewhat dated. The road to it is typical for Andalusia outside the built-up area: bumpy.

Everything was great, the location, the house, the friendliness.

Nice big house with all comfort

We spent a week there and were warmly welcomed. The house is very beautiful. Spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, a large, bright living room with beautiful sea views from the panoramic windows. Everything was perfectly clean and well equipped. Alicia was always available by phone which gave us a good feeling. We lacked nothing.

We had a great time staying in this villa which comfortably housed us and our extended family. Nice quiet location but walkable to the beach and restaurants. Nice to have a garden as well as pool area. We were travelling with young children and was a little tricky with the location of the pool and the stairs but we had plenty of adults to keep watch. Hosts were very accommodating around check in which we really appreciated. Accommodation was clean and secure. Overall we had the best time not only in the Villa but Nerja itself.

Yet again we have had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The peace and quiet and restful gardens are just the best. Family are so helpful and welcoming We look forward to our 4 stays already booked in 2024 🥰

Everything is beautiful

Clean house nice owner very friendly and helpful

great location and lovely place! would recommend and will be back!

Great vacation. Magnificent Andalusia. Everything was perfect. The villa was magnificent with all the comforts as described in the ad. The owner Salvador is truly a welcoming, friendly and very intentional person. I highly recommend. We will happily return. Thanks again. Christopher

Very quiet area, ideal for rest

We spent a weekend with 5 friends and everything was great. Eloísa met us at the indicated time and provided us with details of the surroundings, in addition to having the fireplace lit for our arrival. although we didn't really need it because we had a wonderful time. One of us even dared to take a dip in the pool. The views, the tranquility, the house. Everything was ideal. Just to mention it, I personally think that the single beds had a lower quality mattress than the double beds (but in good condition), and the pillows were high for my taste. Thank you very much and we will surely return!

Location great for visiting other white villages of Andalusia. El Bosque was a lovely place too.

We went there on the weekend of November 17-19, 2023. We were 3 families with children and teenagers in total 15. The house is next to the town of Rute, in a private hunting reserve, surrounded by olive trees. The house is equipped with everything, it is very comfortable. They welcomed us very kindly, with the pellet stove and fireplace lit, which was appreciated. The rooms are very nice and we really had a good weekend. I totally recommend it. The teenagers stayed in the annex of the house which has a table football and had a great time. We will be back

The area is beautiful, and the house and owners are wonderful.

Everything great!

The house is wonderful, it is equipped with everything you need, spectacular views, I traveled with my dogs and they had a great time and Antonio was super friendly at all times, I will certainly repeat

Great experience with everything you need. To repeat!

This is already our second holiday at the same property near Malaga. This time we had luck with the weather - 14 days sunshine in November. It is a wonderful house well equipped, clean and well maintained. We did daily trips which are easily possible from there. Alhaurin is nice and offers good infrastructure like e.g. super markets and pharmacy. The way to Malaga City and nice beaches is short using a car. Also we enjoyed again the wonderful garden just relaxing and reading our ebooks. Our experience with Ruralidays is excellent. We also like the owner very much. We would like to come back.

We had a very fun weekend with the family. The accommodation was great as seen in the photographs. Both Mari Carmen and Manolo received us and treated us wonderfully.

A very good weekend, the house is impeccable, with all the necessary equipment, everything very comfortable

Had a very nice holiday. Clean villa. Nice view. Lots of rest

Really lovely property: great views and location, spacious, clean, warm swimming pool and friendly helpful owners. Just excellent.

We stayed at Carlos' vacation home in Alhaurín for 2 and a half weeks. A beautiful house with garden and swimming pool. The house was extremely clean and the garden with the beautiful swimming pool was very well maintained. A gardener comes three times a week and takes care of the installations. The house is on the outskirts of Alhaurín, nearby there is a supermarket, pharmacy and gas station. The distance to the beach and tourist towns such as Torremolinos and Benalmádena is approximately 20 minutes by car. You can reach Malaga airport in 15 minutes. A car is necessary. Carlos the owner of the house is very helpful, friendly and available at all times. This leaves nothing to be desired. When booking we were asked to keep the pool open and our wish was granted, so that we could use it despite the low water temperatures. We could always use the pool. There were delicious tangerines as gifts. There was water from our own garden and from the refrigerator. Carlos also gave us tips for the hiking route along the Caminito del Rey. Highly recommended, but definitely book in advance and ideally with a guided tour. We would book the house again any time and wish Carlos continued happiness. with the rent.

It's a really beautiful house, it was super clean, it had everything we wanted for our little son and the views in the evening were stunning. The owners are really kind and help you with whatever you need.

The house and property are impeccably maintained, clean and well-equipped! Almost everything is new (value)! There is space for up to 10 people in 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms, an open kitchen and a large living and dining room. From here you can see through the large floor-to-ceiling window (sliding doors) the outdoor area with the pool. There were only two of us in this house, but we are sure that it is more than adequately equipped for 10 people. The kitchen is like new (large refrigerator!), there are many new dishes, glasses, cutlery, kitchen utensils and "kitchen helpers" available. The photos correspond 100 percent to the reality found. The view over the hedge towards the sea (estimated at around 10km as the crow flies) is fantastic! The pool was still full in November; The water was quite cold but clean and they even cleaned it during our rental period. Access to the property is via an electrical system, large, heavy blind closed. The property can be illuminated completely and very brightly in the dark. Wifi works perfectly. The only small disadvantage of this great house is its location right on the road from Cómpeta to Canillas de Albaida. As traffic passes directly through the hedge, background noise and the smell of exhaust gases can clearly affect your stay outdoors, especially if you are looking for peace and relaxation by the pool. This didn't bother us too much since we were out and about during the day. At night there is very little traffic, so it is very quiet and you can sleep very well without traffic noise. The owners, Rosa and Juan, were at our disposal at any time and, if necessary, were on site within 15 minutes. They both spoke pretty broken English, but communication was still pretty good. They are both really nice, friendly and helpful. On the day of departure we did not have to leave the house until 10:00, as is usually the case, but we were able to stay until late afternoon. We got the cash deposit back without any complaints! We felt completely comfortable for 8 days!

The house and Manuel, the owners, are wonderful.

Awesome.

A beautiful house in a secluded location. The photos are from a while ago, but the house is now a bit outdated. That doesn't matter much, because the space around the house is still nice and spacious, there are four large and excellent bedrooms, a large bath, and a great swimming pool! Nice and secluded, yet a supermarket nearby. A beautiful view and very beautiful surroundings. A car is highly recommended, so you can visit everything in the area (many within an hour's drive). We were there at the end of October/beginning of November, so a thick sweater is nice in the evening.

Beautiful house. Equipped with all amenities. A bit chilly inside, luckily there is a nice fireplace. We were there in mid-November. 😀 Everything is there. The kitchen equipment was great. Hospitality was tremendous.

Nice house. There is some kind of kennel nearby, but it didn't bother us. Halfway along the road from Guaro to the house there is a football field, the sound of which you can hear. In terms of location, it is not the quietest house, but the house and furnishings are excellent! And a great base for visiting Ronda and Marbella, for example.

Lovely holiday home with all amenities. Very clean and complete. Hostess very friendly and helpful. Prime location with beautiful views.

We had the most amazing stay at Santa Fuente. The location is AMAZING. The most incredible views, so relaxed and secluded and peaceful whilst only being a 5 minute drive from beautiful Frigiliana (or a half an hour walk if that). The pool was stunning, we used the awesome BBQ area every day, the villa itself was spotless and the outside eating areas are perfect. The photos don’t do it justice. Alfonso was friendly, responsive and very helpful. Thank you so much for such a great holiday. We never wanted to leave!

Pepi welcomed us very kindly and showed us everything. The holiday home was very clean and equipped with everything you could need. The garden and swimming pool were also very well maintained, so we could have a nice week's holiday. The area is quiet, you can relax there. The property is about 10 minutes from Playa Fuente del Gallo beach, which was our favorite. The long sandy beach of Conil is also about 10 minutes away. Shops and restaurants are about 2 km away. We thank you for a wonderful week and would love to come back again.

A wonderful villa in a peaceful location with breathtaking views. Very well equipped and the outdoor kitchen/cooking area is a joy, as is the terrace, as the sun rises in the morning. We enjoyed walking into Frigiliana and back (approx 40-45 minutes each way) and had previous experience of the backcountry roads, but I can understand that they could be off-putting, especially arriving at night. Agent and owner were attentive, responsive and very helpful. Villa was immaculate and spotlessly clean.

Very good

The house stands out for its spaciousness with its 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, fully equipped, all on one floor (interesting for people with reduced mobility, save a step to access the house), together with its swimming pool (accessible, very clean surrounded by artificial grass), barbecue. To emphasize the privacy and relaxation offered by the environment, surrounded by orange trees, lemon trees, olive trees, etc. overlooking the Andalusian garden, beautiful horizon and mountains. We had 2 medium sized dogs who enjoyed the space and security the property offers as it is fully fenced. The WiFi in the house is great. The host (Antonio) was very friendly, respectful and helpful. If you are looking for relaxation, peace and privacy, this place is definitely recommended, you will enjoy it.

We liked it very much. The house is large, clean and well maintained. The owners were very friendly.

There is actually nothing to criticize about this accommodation, you will hardly get a better view than here anywhere, the host was also super friendly and good with G** translate. The 5 cats who always come to greet you and always have a full bucket of kibble ready to give were also wonderful. The only thing that was a problem for us was the road to get there, we came to look at houses, so we regularly had to go somewhere and then it is always quite a bit of a drive to get to "civilization". But! If you want to have a wonderful holiday, this is great, free nature, beautiful views, beautiful swimming pool, super host, affordable and everything available. Upon arrival, a delicious bottle of wine was ready, a full fruit basket, water and milk in the refrigerator. Highly recommended!

The description and location of the property is exactly as described. If you are looking for peace, culture and landscape, you have come to the right place. Importantly, a car that is not too big is a “must”.

Good, very quiet location of the house in the hills, between busy Nerja and Frigiliana.

Excellent location. The landlord has built 3 beautiful houses that are close to each other, but are beautifully situated in such a way that you are not bothered by each other and experience privacy. And the host Adriano? You couldn't ask for better.

The decor, the furniture, the swimming pool, the nature and tranquility of the surroundings and the friendliness of the owner. I would definitely come back!

The house is a dream. Very well maintained and nice facilities. The garden, the numerous seating areas, the grill, the swimming pool, everything is indescribably beautiful. The house is in excellent condition and very clean.

All is well. The house with all the details and very well maintained

We were 7 friends to spend the weekend. The owner waited for us to arrive and explained everything to us. The well-equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and organized.

Place where we spent an unforgettable weekend. Everything has to be rated with a 10! The tranquility of the place, its pool and jacuzzi has made us enjoy the beauty, the comfort of the beds, sofas, etc. And on top of that with a fireplace and barbecue. You can not ask for more!

Everything you need can be found in the house. You walk from the front door onto a large and cozy terrace, the garden with swimming pool is beautiful. It simply provides complete relaxation.

Perfect for peace and quiet.

Very well received by the owner and his wife

The house is exactly as in the photos. Really very quiet place and you have everything your heart desires. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We were able to recover very well during these two weeks.

Beautiful views and a spotless house. Had a wonderful time.

We spent a weekend of relaxation and rest, in addition to visiting the beautiful town of El Gastor. A beautiful and very well equipped house

Super cozy and highly recommended

Everything was perfect, the house is renovated and super clean, and the surroundings are great.

The house was great, everything was very clean and with many amenities. We will definitely repeat

Everything very clean / Kindness 10 Beautiful place with incredible views A charming town

This property consists of two terraced houses, both with large living rooms with fireplaces, terraces overlooking the mountains and the Grotte du Chat opposite, with a BBQ which we enjoyed in the evening. The very cozy veranda for breakfast. Very well equipped and clean house. It was nice to be there. Also the swimming pool with hammocks where we rested after the routes and food. Strongly recommended. Direct access from the road, private parking.

Very spacious house in an incomparable environment, magnificent sunsets and incredible sunrises. The hosts are top 10, friendly and always available. Large rooms and living room-kitchen for a large group, the kitchen does not lack details. The exteriors between vineyards, almond trees and fruit trees of the estate. A good place to rest and enjoy the surroundings. We will surely come back. Thanks Conchi!

Great location and had really nice time. Thanks!

Guillermo and Cristina's houses are very comfortable; They are tastefully decorated and very functional. They treated us fantastic. The natural environment is spectacular. There are many possibilities for excursions, both with children and with less mobile people. The house is spacious, has swings, a small sports field and a swimming pool. Far from the city, so very quiet. Everything works well: wifi, hot water. They gave us some fantastic tomatoes and peppers. We will try to come back, for sure. I highly recommend it for a quiet family subscription and with friends who enjoy mountain walks.

Miguel was welcoming and very responsive through text before our arrival. He showed us the house and made sure we felt at home. The house is AMAZING with all the great features and perfect layout with most rooms suitable for 2 people. As recommended by all previous renters it is up in the hill with a countryside road towards the end so definitely get an SUV and avoid coming with a city car. The beds were a little uncomfortable, but nothing that we couldn't handle for the long weekend. We were really lucky and had the perfect weather in Nov so we could enjoy the sun by the pool during the day. We would 100% come back and had such a wonderful time with my friends. Thank you again! x

Very happy with description and speedy communication

The rural house is very good. It's hard to get there. I advise talking to the owner first and not guiding yourself by the GPS. We were there in autumn, the fireplace and the outdoor barbecue are very good. There is a basic minimum of kitchen elements. The owner is very friendly and gives you flexibility for departure time.

A very pleasant, cozy and relaxing experience.

This was a wonderful location for a holiday. A gorgeous view, lovely property and only 25 minutes to get to local towns such as Nerja. Generally a great location as Malaga and parts of Sierra Nevada park were both within a 90 minute driving distance, so easy to do day-trips if you're someone who likes to walk/explore. We were here in November, and the temperature was warm but sometimes the wind in the hills had a bit of a chill, so it's worth packing a jumper - the pool was very cold too, but for us that did not matter. We met Antonio at the end of the trip as he was away when we arrived, he was lovely. At arrival, Antonio had instead arranged for us to meet a friend, who met us at the local petrol station and escorted us to the property, so it was very easy to find! A great holiday!

Really lovely property - made more special by the owners who could not have been more friendly or helpful.

Ideal for relaxing and being calm.

Very good location

A very nice house in a quiet area. The house is secluded and you can lie undisturbed by the pool. You can pick fruit from orange and lemon trees. José is a super friendly and very helpful host.

We stayed here last year and went back this year because we liked it so much. It’s affordable. The location is good. The agents were very helpful and responsive. We locked ourselves out the villa and they were quick to resolve. It’s worth noting it’s an easy villa to lock your self out of. The front and back doors can only be opened from the inside when closed so you need to be a little wary and organised. The villa is perfect for our family as we have small kids and it’s all mostly on one floor so we’re not worrying about stairs and the pool is fenced. We swam a lot in the pool even though it was October but it was very cold so we had shortie wetsuits. We love the mountain views and the terrace with 2 different dining areas. The outdoor bbq area is great. It’s a shame the pool table cues are broken and also the table tennis table was broken whilst we were there but hopefully they will be fixed for next guests as they’re fun elements and last year we used them a lot. The wifi was also very weak / almost unusable which also meant the smart tv did not work. The villa was very clean and the beds all nicely made. It was generally a little more tired than when we stayed before and could do with some new touches though. The bath towels were very small and thin although this does often seem to be the case with villas we’ve stayed in. We requested pool towels and they came right away and we’re thicker and better. The kitchen is fairly well stocked but we were only 4 adults and 2 kids. If a larger group of adults you would be washing up glasses, cups plates etc quite regularly as there are not loads to spare. It’s also a little annoying having to buy cleaning cloths, bin bags, dishwasher tabs, hand soap, washing up liquid etc. I’d imagine these must get left each time by the guests and then removed and so each time they’re being replaced. Again maybe this is the norm in villa rentals so we didn’t complain. Overall we did have a great stay and I hate to say anything negative about the place when it was affordable and good for us but there are some things the owners could improve on to make it better. The agents are great to deal with and very friendly and speak perfect English also.

We have been to this area before and are looking for a house with privacy, tranquility, good cuisine and walking opportunities. This house has it all. Silvia was helpful and provided information that was useful. There was quite a bit of wind, but the house is on a mountain so you can expect it. If the price remains attractive, we will definitely come back!

From booking to departure, everything was as you would expect for a relaxing holiday.

The pool is phenomenal. The house does not lack details and has everything you need to spend a few days relaxing. The attention from Victoriano (father and son) was very good. This accommodation is highly recommended.

We, a group of friends, had a fantastic weekend. In the middle of nature, with an incomparable view from the veranda of the house, in absolute silence, accompanied only by the sound of the trees and animals. Outdoor meals, walks in nature accompanied by the dogs, 2 intelligent winemakers who made sure we didn't take the wrong road. Peace and tranquility. And yet the town is very close in case you need anything and it is a beautiful town, with atmosphere and good restaurants. The excellent beaches and towns of Cadiz's east coast are also within a 30/40 km radius along good roads. And we all know how good food is in this country. If you ask me, at least bring some tasty things, good company and don't leave there.
