Ruralidays Reviews

We felt very comfortable in the house. Everything is tastefully decorated and in excellent condition. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including a large fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The bedroom has very well-adjustable air conditioning. Large covered outdoor terrace with a dining table. Separate, very beautiful pool area with views of the surrounding mountains and the sea. The access to the house is secured with a gate that can be opened by remote control. The approach must be mentioned. It is along a narrow, very steep and partly unpaved road. An SUV or off-road vehicle is recommended, but not absolutely necessary. It takes about 15 minutes to drive to Torrox Costa. The communication with the very friendly and always helpful hosts via WhatsApp was excellent. For us as a couple, it was the perfect accommodation and a clear recommendation.

Lovely traditional large Finca set in a semi rural location within a Olive grove plantation. Only minutes away from a small shop for essentials. About 30 minutes away from Antequera passing El Torcal which is a must see. The accommodation has 4 large bedrooms all of a similar size with air-conditioning. The pool is a great size and south facing so gets all day sun. The cabana is a fantastic seating area which tends to get a breeze which is nice to cool down. The outside areas have great lighting along with a light in the pool. Views area generally of corn fields and olive trees which is nice and relaxing.

Without a doubt, it's worth repeating. Everything is super clean, very well equipped, not a single detail is missing, a place to disconnect, very quiet and with a lot of privacy. The owner is super nice and attentive. I've been to many vacation homes, but as it is, none. What a shame I didn't find it sooner. I'll be back next year.

Super clean and beautiful cottage, with a lovely (heated) pool. The view is beautiful and the hosts great. This was our second time in this cottage. We would love to come back.

The location of the finca was truly beautiful. The view was excellent. Only the small access road to the finca was a real challenge. Probably typical of the area.

Special house, special place, beautifully and quietly situated against a mountainside, equipped with all the necessary luxury and a beautiful swimming pool.

Great place to stay and Jose Luis is really helpful

The villa is magnificent, the owners are so kind, it was magnificent

The town of Nerja and its friendly and attentive inhabitants make you feel right at home. The country, the life, the culture, the people, and the cleanliness of Málaga and Nerja! The accommodation is simply perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Brenda and Donald's country house is a fantastic place in an exceptional setting, near Antequera and Malaga. Ideal for a family stay. The host is very attentive and always responsive, responding to every request within an hour. We would definitely return and highly recommend this place!

It was the best vacation we've ever had. A very nice place to stay. We will be back.

Thank you for the super fun time and the heartwarming hospitality, completely relaxed and able to recharge during the past 2.5 weeks.

Beautiful and peaceful surroundings, Dolores is very helpful. You can tell from everything that she wants to give you a fantastic holiday. Nothing is too much for her.

We felt at home from the very first moment. Manuel welcomed us warmly and showed us around the entire complex. The house is of very high quality and tastefully decorated. The four bedrooms are all equally equipped and each has a separate bathroom with shower. There is also a guest toilet on the ground floor and an outside toilet, ideal if you get out of the pool with wet clothes. The highlight for us was the beautiful pool, one part of which was a real treat for our daughter. The lounge area, where we spent many hours of our holiday, deserves a special mention. From there we could admire the sunset. We highly recommend the finca and thank Manuel very much for his excellent service.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend. The house is very well-equipped and has a play area for the children. The owners are very friendly and helpful and always answered our questions. Highly recommended.

Nice place with beautiful view, for people that likes not turistic and crowded places

The Villa was home from home with everything you need and more. The Villa is well kept, with modern touches and extras. It is very clean and beautiful with a great outside area to enjoy the sunshine and pool. Antonio was always available if we needed him and very knowledgeable about the area as he grew up there. The walk into Torrox town is manageable if you enjoy walking otherwise lots of parking available. Lovely places to eat, especially La Casa, a must if you stay here. Would definitely look to return next year.

Amazing villa, it has everything you could possibly need. Awesome pool, enouhh sunbeds for everyone, great bbq area. J would highly recommend.

We stayed for nearly a week, a group of 6 people. The villa itself is perfect - everything is clean and tidy, there's lots of space, all the kitchenware and other tools are there to have an amazing time even for a longer stay. The pool area and the terrace are clean, cozy and private. Communication with Monica was easy and straightforward ❤️ The only thing to be aware of - getting there is not easy. You will get lost if you only trust Waze. Always, and I mean, ALWAYS go to Mirador Panorámico (observation deck of Competa) first and then navigate to the villa (and vice versa if you want to travel around). And even then it's possible to get lost, so make sure to follow the instructions provided by the host (to be very nitpicky, instructions could have been a bit more clear). However, if you arrive during the day, Monica will meet you and guide you there, but we were unlucky with the arrival time. We highly recommend an SUV or other all-road car for getting there. And if you are an inexperienced driver - think twice if you are ready for the adventures in the hills of Competa😀 All in all, we will definitely visit again!!❤️

Quite remote but you couldn't wish for a better villa than this, if you are looking for peace and quiet then this is the place, the village of Torrrox is very pleasant, there are also some nice bars and restaurants, I recommend Meson de Terraza

De host was ontzettend vriendelijk en kwam regelmatig langs om te checken of alles naar wens was. Het huisje zelf was prachtig en van alle gemakken voorzien om volledig tot rust te komen. Extra fijn was de watertank met ijskoud water, perfect om de hitte te trotseren. Ik zou dit huisje zonder twijfel aanraden aan iedereen: gezinnen, vriendengroepen en meer!

What a place. Jose was an amazing host. Very friendly and helpful. Everything you need is there. The views, the pool, the beds everything was perfect. Exactly what we wanted. The road up is bumpy but nothing too bad. Will 100% be going back. Thanks for everything Jose

Privacy, peace, swimming pool, space and view

We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 Kids. We spent 10 days at the house and we had a fabulous time. We found the house to be spacious, clean and very well equipped for all our needs. All the rooms had A/C which we great as it was very hot at the time we were there. The outdoor area was spacious with plenty of shaded areas to sit along with sun loungers for sunbathing. We really enjoyed the large pool with amazing views from the pool area. A car is essential and it was very easy to get to from the airport. The house is in a great location to visit towns like Alhaurin de là Torre, Alhaurin el Grande, Mijas, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola. We also went to Sunview Park to do the Zip Wire activity which is only 15 mins away. The hostes were very kind and responsive. Over all we had a fantastic time and we would recommend this house to anyone.

We love this clean , well equipped and quietly situated villa but the kindness and hospitality of Ana Maria made it a very special holiday for us. The pool and views are wonderful and everything is carefully maintained. We have visited several times and would love to return .

Rualidays have always been efficient and helpful and easy to book with. The villa and the outdoor space made for a great week away. We were a family of 6 with my daughter/son in law and two grandchildren, 2 and 5 years old. Rafa was very friendly and helpful at all times, any small issues we had were very quickly resolved or responded too which made us feel very looked after. the outdoor kitchen was PERFECTO and the swimming pool area was a great space to spend our days. the outside toilet was brilliant, a really helpful addition, especially for the children as we did not need to worry about wet floors inside the villa when they needed to use the bathroom! It was clean and modern just like the rest of the outside space. the outdoor shower was also lovely and had easy access. the wifi was very good, often in these remote villas it can be patchy but here it was really good. the children's ipads and our phones stayed connected at all times. Also the space inside the villa as well as outside was good for me as I am an amputee and use a wheelchair, everything was pretty much on one level so helpful for people with mobility issues. The outside fridge was a good size and powerful too. There is no oven in the villa although there is a microwave, the kitchen outdoors has a couple of options for an oven is well equipped and easy to use and the BBQ is a good size. The coffee machine is a nice addition too! The lighting outdoors was great and the night lights in the pool were stunning. The view is gorgeous and very easy to look at all day, we spent our evenings outside too! The area around the pool is non slip and the steps inside the pool were well used by the children who loved to play on the different levels. it also made it easy for me to get in and out. Inside the villa is not as modern but it works well. It would be nice to have a smart TV so the children could watch Netflix but that is only a very small suggestion! they had there own ipads so wasn't a problem when they needed some downtime! The large supermarkets were only a 25 minute drive too although there were smaller shops for essentials if needed in Sayalonga. We did not get to go to Rafas restaurant but I am sure it is very good. we were too busy relaxing and enjoyed the freedom of cooking ourselves! the air con worked well also which is important for the hot nights. the drive up and parking spaces is good and easily achieved. Rafa meet us in the village which was helpful. I would defiantly recommend this villa for family and friends, it has a stunning outdoor area which is spacious and private. It is easy to get around and overall has good facilities. The views are beautiful and you will be well looked after. What more do you need! Thank you Rafa for having us, we look forward to returning.

We had an incredible few days, the accommodation was very clean, beautiful, and cozy. The views are spectacular, and the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. This experience was a 10/10, an unforgettable getaway.

Beautiful surroundings, many great beaches, good infrastructure.

What a fantastic stay! We really enjoyed our time in this beautiful house. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail: clean, tidy and completely ready for our arrival. The house is spacious, so you have enough privacy – even with a larger group. The owners are super friendly, easy to reach and respectful. It really felt like coming home. Definitely recommended… and we will definitely come back!

Great villa. Very clean and in wonderful surroundings. Very private and not overlooked. Pool & pool area excellent. Cannot fault this at all. Great hosts and they made us very welcome and provided some essentials when we arrived. Will be back.

A very pleasant stay, fully equipped and brand new. I highly recommend it. There's a pool, a barbecue, and even a place to play darts and ping-pong. Immense tranquility, without hearing a single motor, just the sound of nature.

Beautiful stay on the heights of Malaga

The owners are very friendly. The house is great, with a front garden inviting you to relax and a large lawn in the back with a fantastic pool. We'll definitely be back.

We have been there four times before and it is always good. Quiet and secure.

The house is equipped with all comforts: spacious, all facilities for self-catering, lovely swimming pool and beautiful location with a view.

Live an authentic rural experience.

We had a wonderful holiday in this house. We wanted a quiet place and this house is perfect. Both Isabel and Gregorio were always super friendly and helped us with questions or problems. The only thing I would recommend is to be careful with the pebble bottom around the pool, because my partner got burns on his feet.

A magnificent accommodation, perfect for relaxing and recharging your batteries. The mountain views are stunning, and the private pool, surrounded by a natural setting with no overlooked views, truly adds to the experience. Ideal for a couple and very well-equipped.

The hosts are unbeatable, friendly, and communicative, respectful of privacy. The house's location is fantastic because it's close to many beautiful beaches. You can do activities nearby, and even more options a little further away. We also stayed a couple of days at the house, enjoying the pool and the patio, which is amazing, completely natural and rural, full of plants. We really enjoyed it; it was a wonderful experience; the days seemed so short.

We spent wonderful, carefree days at this magnificent property. The owner, Antonio, and his wife are very friendly and always available if we have any problems or questions. We would love to return.

The house is great, close to Marbella if you want the beach, and many places of interest, but with the comfort of being in the countryside without any hassle. It's very clean, comfortable overall, and the hosts are attentive to make sure you don't want for anything. It's a highly recommended experience. I would definitely come back.

We went there as a family. It was an ideal meeting place in an idyllic setting, with an immaculate and spotlessly clean house. We felt right at home.

The view from the pool is beautiful and the area is quiet. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our holiday very much and can highly recommend the house.

Delicious

The villa is not easy to find because the GPS coordinates of the meeting point are incorrect. It is preferable to meet in the village. The villa is reached by a paved road (which is not always the case in Andalusia). The villa is located in a very quiet, unspoilt and beautiful location at the foot of the El Torcal mountain. It is important to know that the villa is not central and is not close to shops for daily shopping. Furthermore, the village "La Villa Nueva de la Conception" has a few shops, including a butcher (Carnecia), which I recommend, and a Dia shop. The village centre is very pleasant. The villa itself is not very beautiful, but it is functional (air conditioning, shower, bath, etc.). The only major problem is the barbecue, which is too close, causing the smoke to spread inside, and the outdoor kitchen, with washing machine and dishwasher, is not ideal. Please note that the owners only speak Spanish, but are very quick to respond to the smallest problem (the oven broke down on a Sunday and was replaced that same afternoon). The pool is large and up to 2 meters deep and is cleaned approximately every 3 days by Júan (Iris, the owner's father). For trips to the surrounding area a car is necessary, but due to the remote location of the villa in the Andalusian countryside it is a few kilometers away, but that was our choice. A ping-pong table, a basketball hoop and a few balls (football, volleyball, etc.) are available, as well as a few bicycles.

We spent a few very quiet days with our pets.

We had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful finca with private pool and all privacy. Situated in a top location. Every now and then you see a sea eagle soaring over which is a treat in itself. For the ride there you have to like driving and not be afraid of driving on narrow mountain roads. But we were willing to do it. Once at the top you had a magnificent view over almost the entire valley. It was the second time we were in this finca and there will certainly be more to come. On to next summer.

The accommodation was great! The outside area could be a bit safer for the kids, and the rocks could do with a pressure washer, but that's only a minor point of criticism! We found the climb a bit challenging, as it's not exactly flat and the path is more of an off-road track, which left us with a bitter aftertaste. I can highly recommend the house itself; despite everything we had a fantastic stay!

We really enjoyed it. What a beautiful house and view. Neatly maintained, very clean and tidy. We will definitely come back. Communication with the owner is also great and has given us many tips for things to do in the area. A big 10 and we will definitely come back here

Wonderful holiday.

The house and pool are fantastic. Nothing to complain about. The neighborhood and town of Lantejuela aren't particularly interesting, but the villages of Marchena and Osuna are very pretty. Seville is also about an hour's drive away.

.

Very good overall, Andalusia as we like it

Excellent communication from the owner. Wonderful outside area and pool. Everything we needed for an easy comfortable stay. We loved it!

The house is perfect, the pool is a luxury, the host is super nice and the weather is unbeatable.

We spent eight wonderful and relaxing days in this house, just five minutes from Torrox, with a beautiful view of the sea and a very attentive owner. The house is very clean and equipped with all comforts, the air conditioning is perfect and the beds are very comfortable. The outdoor area is spacious and well equipped, with a barbecue. The pool is very pleasant, sunny all day, and also has a shady area with quality umbrellas and hammocks. In short, a place where we would return without hesitation. An absolute success. We will definitely come back.

Total relaxation, great location, beautiful views. The property is very nice, surrounded by nature. The host, Rafa, was very friendly and attentive throughout, a good person and a great professional. We had a perfect family vacation.

The villa was outstanding, lots of care and attention has gone into this villa. The cleanliness was very good as well as the newness of everything. The scenery fantastic! Loved the lights and sitting areas

We enjoyed our stay immensely and were very satisfied. Everything was spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. Comfortable beds, a great pool and lots of extras. Simply perfect. Although we don't speak Spanish, communication with the owner was flawless. A small point for improvement: Unfortunately, contrary to what you see in the photos, the awning did not have a parasol. This meant that we could not brave the burning sun from midday with just a small parasol. But they will probably put it back. Therefore, a clear recommendation for this holiday home.

The house is ideally located, secluded in nature, and offers peace and quiet. However, shops and the beach are quickly accessible by car. Unlike other mountain houses, access is easy and hassle-free if you are coming from Frigliana. Access from the lower level is not recommended. The house is very clean and well-maintained, and the pool is fantastic. The amenities were complete. The owners were down-to-earth and friendly. We were very satisfied and would choose this house again.

Fantastic vacation

It is a very cozy house in a very quiet area. The house is very comfortable, and both the furniture and the beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean. The outdoor area is small, but very comfortable and well maintained.

Absolutely fantastic property, very well maintained, stunning views and friendly hosts. We will definitely be back.

perfect host and villa.

Perfect for our family holiday with adult children. Easy walk into the village (steep on the way back!) Everything you will need is available in the village but only 15 minutes from the beach

Beautiful house, lovely pool, fantastic view, so in one word great!

We loved the experience! First of all, the owners are super nice and very friendly. They made everything quick and easy. They showed us the entire house, which is beautiful. The patio, with those views, the pool, and the bar! We fell in love with the place, the coolness at night, the tranquility. The house is super well-equipped, with every detail missing, and above all, very clean! It's ideal. We will definitely come back! Thank you so much for everything!

We had a wonderful stay in this holiday home! Everything was very clean and well maintained. The owner was incredibly friendly and always available for all our questions. We were especially impressed by the breathtaking view of the mountains: simply magnificent! The outdoor area was highly recommended: a beautiful swimming pool with pleasantly warm water and a cozy barbecue area, perfect for relaxing evenings. We felt at home right away and will definitely come back!

It is a beautiful house with a beautiful pool. The jacuzzi makes it all the way. And the house inside is also perfectly in order and very clean. There is complete privacy because of the electric gate that completely closed off the plot. Car was safe. Ivan, the landlord, is super friendly and helpful. We found no negative points. It was a great holiday!

We had a great time and the owners were very friendly, everything was great.

We all enjoyed the excursion. The people of La Carlota were very friendly, and it's very close to Córdoba, Écija, Montilla, and other towns worth visiting. In the afternoon, we went swimming.

If I had to choose one word to describe our stay in --------, it would undoubtedly be tranquility. The house is located in the mountains of Malaga, where you can enjoy absolute peace and starry skies. The surroundings are truly beautiful. The house is super equipped; it has everything you need. The pool is definitely the star. The fact that it is fenced is useful if you travel with small children and gives you extra peace. It is very well equipped with parasols and sun loungers. The owner of the accommodation, Carlos, was extremely attentive and friendly, as was his brother Fernando. They showed us around the house very kindly. It was without a doubt a perfect stay. We really enjoyed both the house, which is beautiful, and the surroundings. We will definitely come back.

Very nice place and great owner:)

Lovely house, beautiful location, beautiful view and super friendly hostess. To get to the house you have to go over an unpaved and steep road. There are also some animals at the pool, but that is also nature. Otherwise highly recommended.

The arrival and the information that José gave via WhatsApp were perfect and very helpful. He then accompanied us to the villa and showed us everything. Thank you very much for that. The villa itself made a very good impression and is very well maintained. The outdoor area and the pool are also very neat and clean. Fantastic view of the sea and the mountains. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Thank you very much.

The house is really nice, the pool is fabulous and always warm. The location is very pleasant and quiet. The only downside is that the road leading to the house is very narrow, so you always have to hope for oncoming traffic. If you leave the main road, the house is 1.5 km away and the drive takes 10 minutes. The kitchen equipment could be improved; there weren't enough dishes. Otherwise, the layout of the room is very good and the outdoor space is perfect. At first, we were worried about being able to eat outside, but there was more than enough space.

Small quiet house in rural location with great views and not too far from the nearest town. Car essential. Had an internet issue but was sorted after 4 days. Only Spanish tv. There’s a rental villa next door which had a loud party a couple of nights but at least the house faces the other way!

We had a very nice holiday in this house. Everything was there and very clean. The location is easy to reach by car and you can always choose whether you want to sit in the shade or in the sun. Air conditioning works fine in the bedroom so you can sleep well. The conservatory is especially great when the weather is less good.

We really enjoyed walking around Granada and experiencing the tapas culture. The visit to the Alhambra was wonderful and the local area of Monachil with its great walks and restaurants was a bonus. Add to that the lovely pool at the villa, plus the tennis court and billiards table and the whole visit was brilliant.

Casa Amparo was great. Very good facilities and excellent, responsive hosts. It's great for a relaxing holiday but having a car is essential as it's up in the mountains.

Spacious house and plot with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Super friendly owners with clear communication.

Fantastic. A very cozy house, with all the decorative details and all the necessary kitchenware. 10/10 cleanliness. The best part is undoubtedly the outdoor space. The garden, pool, and barbecue area are spectacular. A big thank you to Rosario and Juan, fantastic hosts. We'll be back.

Nice large pool, not too far from the sea. Spacious and clean. Quiet location.

Authentic holiday home in a beautiful spot in the countryside with a nice veranda and swimming pool. Situated between olive trees and grape vines. Good base for beautiful walks. We were welcomed by the helpful owner Francisco with delicious vegetables and red wine from their own garden. The paved access road (2.8 km) is a bit challenging but doable.

The house is ideal for several adults; they can live together, but also find a place to relax. The pool and citrus garden were fantastic. Andalusian tourist attractions are easily accessible from the house if you have a car. You could easily spend 14 days there.

Juan José and his father greeted us at the agreed place and guided us to the house. The view from the house immediately put you in a holiday mood. Juan explained everything in detail, which worked wonders with Google Translate. Everything in and outside the house was spotlessly clean and tidy, and we had everything we needed. We felt very comfortable from the beginning, during our three weeks, and enjoyed the peace and quiet immensely. Juan does everything to ensure the well-being of his guests. He respects their privacy. They cleaned the pool very early in the morning without us noticing. Simply fantastic, thank you Juan. We recommend this accommodation with a clear conscience, and who knows, we might come back again.

Fantastic house with spectacular views. Great communication with the owner Santi who is a really friendly and easy going guy. House was spotlessly clean and is very well looked after by the owner. It is well equipped and has everything you need for a superb stay. The aircon in the livingroom cools down the whole house so you can get a good nights sleep, just make sure do bring down the jalousies outside the windows to contain the cool air inside the house. :) My family and I had a truly magical stay for 2 weeks here and would love to come back some day!

A secluded mountainside holiday home with no views of the property, featuring a beautiful pool and stunning views all the way to the sea. The house is wheelchair accessible and offers plenty of space. Several outdoor seating areas, both sunny and shaded, provide enough space for everyone. The kitchen is practically equipped, although a little dated.

We enjoyed a lovely family holiday for 10 nights in June 25. The accommodation was just perfect for the 4 of us. Extremely clean and everything worked! The outside space was wonderful, and the bbq area and fridge near the pool was perfect.

Lovely villa very peaceful
