The camera doesn't lie - this is as good as it looks on the pictures, although they barely capture the magnitude of the vistas from this tranquil oasis in the mountains above Malaga.
The accommodation – a spacious, very interesting, traditional property – was spotlessly clean and well presented with an excellent pool and recreation area with its own kitchen. We really appreciated the details this family have built into their home to make it so special for their guests – from gorgeous smelling honey-suckle in the garden to superbly comfortable beds!
Be prepared for an adventure as you take to the windy roads above the city. The off-road track down to the house was a little intimidating at first but we soon came to appreciate it as the route to somewhere very special. The temperature is two or three degrees cooler up here, but that would be especially welcome if you go in summer. We just needed a sweater for the evenings in April.
Easy communication before and during our stay was via WhatsApp and host Riny is delightful to meet in person. We took the option of two private dining meals – both of the highest quality with local produce and especially paired wine.
We had a wonderful week, including day trips to Malaga, Nerja, Comares and Frigiliana. We made some very happy family memories and look forward to visiting again.
