Séjour agréable et calme tout près de Grenade

Maison rustique au calme au pied de la Sierra Nevada avec un extérieur agréable, une grande piscine à l'abri des regards, un parking pour 2 véhicules, le tout étant situé à une vingtaine de minutes de Grenade, bien pratique pour y effectuer plusieurs visites en quelques jours. Très bonne communication avec les propriétaires qui savent restés discrets et arrangeants.

Eenvoudig huisje met super zwembad

Was een heel warme en fijne vakantie in een mooi huisje.het keukenmateriaal was verouderd,voor de rest alles oké.zwembad was super en werd goed onderhouden,een minpuntje geen zwembadverlichting voor de warme zwoele avonden.zou leuk zijn om in een verlicht zwembad ook in de donker te zwemmen.

Relaxing fortnight in lovely Andalucian house

We had a fantastic family holiday in La Ponderosa. The house is small but is comfortable, very clean and well-equipped. There's no air con, but by using windows, curtains and fans we managed to keep the sleeping temperature bearable despite the heatwave conditions. The big garden and pool are the best features of the house. We spent many happy hours playing, relaxing and eating outside, enjoying the views over the mountains and valleys. The whole garden area is a lovely green oasis which is totally private and secluded. We considered staying on the coast for this holiday but are glad we decided to stay further inland. The Lecrin Valley is beautiful and peaceful, and Padul is near the amazing city of Granada and the mountains, but still within easy reach of the beaches of the Costa Tropical. There are plenty of amenities in Padul, and a bigger supermarket a short drive away in Niguelas (which is a lovely village to visit in its own right, including for mountain walks). Last but not least, Hermy, Antonio and family are excellent hosts: they're friendly and attentive but also go out of their way to enable you to enjoy your holiday in peace too. ¡Gracias por todo!

Hidden Gem

Great stay in Casa Ponderosa which had lovely views overlooking the mountain and a fantastic outdoor area. There is secure parking and good internet access, the casa is very clean and well equipped with good size bedrooms which are decorated authentically and with very comfortable beds . A bus stop to Granada is only a 5 minute walk away. Antonio was very friendly and quick to respond during our stay, nothing was too much trouble! We will not look any further when we return and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

An immersive retreat from a busy world

A lovely retreat which became completely private every time we closed the car port doors. The gardens are well maintained with exotic fruit trees and vines. The private pool was essential to lower body temperatures in the daily July sunshine. Helpful and friendly family contact but never intrusive. Padul is centrally located for either trips to the coast at Nerja or into Granada. Nice venue.

Nice little house, very helpful owners

The 2 bedroomed bungalow is reasonably priced and located on the edge of Padul down an unmade up road. The bedrooms are an ok size and the beds comfortable enough.The outdoor pool is a good size, and I used it every day, but it was too cold really as winter had lingered longer than usual. I lost the house keys the night before we were due to leave, and the owners could not have been nicer or more helpful about this. There is not much in Padul, but we found 2 nice bars, and there is a reliable half hourly bus service to Granada, which is quite nearby and really worth several visits. We found a beach we liked 40 minutes away. I would go back again.

Charmante maison dans un cadre calme à 15 -20 mn en voiture de Grenade. La maison est joliment décorée, très propre avec un très joli jardin et une agréable piscine très bien entretenus par les propriétaires qui sont extrêmement disponibles et font tout ce qui est nécessaire pour que nous passions de très bonnes vacances.

Lovely cortijo with pool and beatiful view

Lovely house. Although the living room is not very special ( the table is small, the sofa is not very comfortable), the sleping rooms are nicely styled and spacious enough, the beds are good, the kitchen is fine and so is the bathroom. Outside is a beautifull swimmingpool, with a nice sunterrace. There is a terrace just outside the house with a big table. There also is a lovely meadow /lawn beside the swimmingpool. In autumn there sometimes are grapes and there always are pomegranates and quinces in the garden. La Ponderosa is a superb place to stay, with a beautifull view, but we dont want everybody to know it.

About the host

Hosted by Hermy Mochon

La Ponderosa is owned and looked after by the Mochon family. Antonio a retired carpenter and his wife Agustina bought the land about 40 years ago and built the first Cortijo "La Ponderosa". As well as a summer house the family used the cortijo for keeping animals and growing fruit and veg. When Hermy (their eldest daughter) met Adam (Bristol, UK), they decided to start letting it out for holiday rentals. This proved so successful they then decided to divide the land and build an entirely separate house also with its own pool - Villa Agustina! Both houses and gardens have their own pool and garden as well as private entrances (nothing is shared).
Hermy and Adam look after the bookings.
