Just home from a wonderful and memorable holiday in Andalusia, Spain, where we stayed in this village-based property. Stunning garden, fabulous outdoor pool, modern kitchen and spacious lounge. Great location that allowed us to visit Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Antequera and Malaga with easy access to to amazing Spanish motorway system.

What a great house!! The atmosphere as soon as you step through the large old wooden door is overwhelming. A lot of attention has been paid to the decoration and furnishing of the renovated authentic house, with a good eye for details. The garden has also received a lot of attention and has nice places to have breakfast, read a book or just enjoy everything. Both downstairs, the large modern kitchen and living room are well equipped with everything you need to have a very good stay. All rooms are neat and clean and in the cupboards, small cupboards and drawers you will find everything you could possibly need. There is a complete sewing box available if a button needs to be sewn on. Games are available. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare an extensive meal. There are small but perfectly working fireplaces both downstairs and upstairs. Keep in mind that everything in the charming village, where there are some small supermarkets, butchers, bakers, and some restaurants, is a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes' walk away, going up or down, so people with mobility problems have a challenge. Granada and Malaga are easy to drive from Riogordo and there are beautiful walking areas nearby. Highly recommended is the small village of Comares, which is located on top of a mountain, about half an hour away. Contact with the owners is perfect and friendly and if you have any questions, they are answered immediately. For us, the week we spent there was great!!

The villa is perfect with a modern kitchen which has all the amnenities needed to cook up a meal, the living area has a smart tv perfect for watching movies at night, the pool area was sunny all day but was still private and the garden adds to the outdoor atmosphere, simon and his wife were at hand if we needed anything but never encroached on us. The only negative if I had to pick one would be the heat at night and only having fans to cool us down with some nights being quite warm but I think that is in part down to us going at the hottest time of the year and I say the rest of the year it wouldnt be a problem, overall it was a lovely stay and the host were perfect

We loved this house where we stayed for 2 weeks and could have happily stayed longer. The property is very spacious - probably too spacious for (mainly) the 2 of us but that is another story. There are 3 double and 1 single bedroom. The master is at the back upstairs and has a small balcony and shower room. The family bathroom is just across the corridor and very close to the front double. There is a traditional double just off the entrance hall downstairs and there is a loo and basin close to that. The house feels like a home and is extremely well equipped. It has a wonderful large living room on the main floor leading out onto a terrace. The beautiful modern kitchen is on the ground floor and has everything you could need including a full sized fridge/freezer, a range cooker and a dishwasher. There is a washing machine in the family bathroom. Being a village house, there is no air con, but there are ceiling fans in the living rooms and standing fans in the bedrooms which keep the house cool. We chose this property very carefully as a previous rental in Gaucin had been a similarly gorgeous house but we felt the lack of outside space. This garden was a delight with terraces and shady spots and the gorgeous pool which is a really decent size that one can actually swim in. Many hours were spent in and around the pool. Another plus is that it is TOTALLY private! I know we shouldnt want or need tv and/or wi-fi when on holiday but we do and it was brilliant to have fast wi-fi and a large smart TV that we could access our Netflix and Amazon films on. The house def. gets 5 stars but the village was maybe slightly too quiet for us. Although the local supermarkets are very close and well stocked I didnt actually want to cook when on holiday so would have preferred there to be a better choice of places to eat in the village. However it is in driving distance of very many larger villages and towns and, of course, the city of Malaga (and the airport) is but 45 minutes away. We didnt meet the owners but we had a lot of contact with them before and during our booking and they were hugely responsive and helpful to any questions we had. Although there was a useful restaurant guide in the house I would recommend that you get a Visitors Book for the property so that guests can pass on their pearls of wisdom about where to go and what to see to the next people lucky enough to rent this beautiful property. Thanks so much for our stay!!!
