This detached holiday home offers your family the possibility of spending some relaxing holidays, as it can accommodate up to five people.

The living room opens onto the outdoor area, where a pergola with a summer kitchen and a BBQ is located. In front of it, the private pool ideal for refreshing, near which a shaded chill-out space lets the whole family gather and enjoy the ambience. Surrounding the pool, there are several parasols, sun loungers and the marvellous Balinese bed. Children can also enjoy the playground area and the ping-pong table.

Si buscas paz y tranquilidad, esta casa es ideal. Las instalaciones son perfectas para familias con niños. La piscina es estupenda y la cocina al aire libre es una verdadera ventaja. La acogida de Santiago es especialmente atenta y muy amable. Un pequeño inconveniente, en medio de un verano abrasador, el aire acondicionado del único salón era un poco inadecuado para refrescar las habitaciones. Un último consejo: evita aventurarte hasta el pueblo de Alpandeire en coche.

Das Dorf in der Nähe ist schön und ruhig, mit einem schönen Restaurant (Casa Grande). Ronda in guter Entfernung. Der Besitzer ist sehr sympathisch und hilfsbereit.

Wir hatten ein paar tolle Tage in Santiagos Landhaus. Die Kinder liebten den Basketballkorb hinter dem Haus und wir genossen alle Spaziergänge auf dem Grundstück, kletterten in die eigene Höhle und erkundeten das Land. Die Aussicht von der Spitze des Hügels ist einfach atemberaubend. Das Haus selbst ist sehr gut ausgestattet, Santiago hat an alles gedacht - Duschgel, Shampoo, Wasch- und Spülmaschinentabs, Handwäsche. Es gibt sogar eine Dolce-Gusto-Kaffeemaschine mit ein paar Pads, um Ihnen den Einstieg zu erleichtern. Wir haben alle gut geschlafen und den Außenbereich sehr genossen, man muss buchstäblich nirgendwo hingehen, es gibt so viel zu tun, wie Tischtennis, viele Orte zum Chillen wie zwei verschiedene Hängematten, Schaukeln für Kinder, Bett am Pool oder einfach auf einem der vielen Sitze sitzen, die Santiago in den Garten rund um das Anwesen eingebaut hat. Überall gibt es etwas zu sehen und zu entdecken. Kleines Haus für die Kinder zum Spielen mit dem Fahrrad oder Roller, alles auf dem Grundstück. Die Außenküche ist eine sehr nette Geste und es ist offensichtlich, wie viel Zeit und Mühe Santiago investiert, um das Anwesen zu einem angenehmen Aufenthalt zu machen! Wir würden dieses Haus auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, insbesondere mit Kindern, die einen erholsamen Urlaub suchen und einen privaten Ort suchen. Das Haus ist leicht zu finden und die Anfahrt ist überhaupt nicht schwierig. Das Wetter war nicht warm genug, um den Pool voll zu genießen (hatte nur ein paar kurze Bäder), aber wir haben unseren Aufenthalt an diesem unglaublichen Ort wirklich geliebt!

Hallo, Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in Villa de Santiago. Santiago hat ein wundervolles Haus, das er mit Liebe pflegt, er ist sehr gastfreundlich und ist sehr verfügbar. Das Haus liegt mitten in der Natur, es ist gut ausgestattet, sehr gepflegt und sauber, es fehlt an nichts. Der Außenbereich ist fabelhaft mit allem Komfort und außergewöhnlicher Dekoration, wir haben uns an seinem guten Bio-Gemüse, Obst und Kräutern geschlemmt, ohne den kleinen privaten Wald zu vergessen, der großartig zu besuchen ist. Der Pool ist sehr sauber und so gepflegt, dass man das Chlor nicht richtig riecht. Das Haus liegt neben einem sehr schönen Alpandeire-Dorf, es gibt eine kleine Bäckerei-Cafeteria und ich empfehle das Restaurant El Tapeo, danke David für dein gutes Essen und deine leckeren hausgemachten Pizzen. Danke

La casa es perfecta para desconectar y descansar. Muy limpia y totalmente equipada. Pasé unos dias en pareja, pero es perfecta para ir con niños. El entorno es fantástico, rodeado de sierra y con unas vistas espectaculares. Santiago es muy atento y ofrece total disponibilidad por si surge algún problema o tienes alguna duda. Volvería a repetir sin duda!

Estuvimos una pareja con nuestros hijos, en total dos adultos y 2 niños y estuvimos estupendamente. Instalaciones muy preparadas y limpias... por ejemplo vas a hacer una barbacoa y te encuentras todo lo necesario para ello, pinzas para la carne, tenazas para el carbón, etc. La limpieza de toda la casa ... impecable. La casa esta muy bien acondicionada con todo lo necesario, utensilios de todo tipo en la cocina y hasta lavadora con detergente y suavizante, lavavajillas, cafetera eléctrica, etc. El entorno de la casa es estupendo para los niños, caminamos por un pequeño sendero dentro de la propia finca y el cual es precioso... ¡¡¡ hasta con cueva ¡¡¡. La piscina es una maravilla, limpia como la de un hotel de 5 estrellas. En definitiva, la casa y sus instalaciones, su entorno, el pueblo de Alpandeire... y las vistas al valle del Genal fueron toda una experiencia. Desde la casa hicimos dos excursiones, una a Juzcar (pueblo pitufo) y otra a Ronda. Ronda se encuentra a tan solo unos 20 minutos de la casa en coche, unos 16 Km. Toda una experiencia y muy recomendable para familias con niños/as. Muchas Gracias Santiago por todo. Te debía el comentario por lo bien que estuvimos. Saludos.

Heerlijke ontspannen vakantie gehad. Zeer mooie rustige ligging met alle privacy. De zeer sympatieke eigenaar Santiago komt af en toe de planten water geven, maar geeft ook zeer nuttige tips over te ondernemen dingen, avontuurlijke wandelingen, bezienswaardigheden en restaurants. Het zwembad is fantastisch. Het huisje is eenvoudig en niet heel groot, maar alles zit erop en eraan. We konden ter plaatse gelukkig nog een paar dagen bijboeken! We komen snel een keertje terug.

De buitenruimte rond het huis is fijn met allerlei plekjes in de zon of in de schaduw en met zwembad. Er zijn geen buren behoudens landerijen met schuurtjes. Voor kleine kinderen is het een speelparadijs, waarbij zelf van de grote rotsheuvel om het woonterrein heen gebruik kan worden gemaakt. De livingroom is klein en eenvoudig met slechts een bank en een eettafel + aanrecht. De eigenaar Santiago komt elke twee à drie dagen om het zwembad schoon te maken en zijn moestuin te verzorgen. Hij is zeer hulpvaardig. De korte, half verharde weg ligt dichtbij het dorp Alpandeire (20 min. rijden van Ronda). Het dorp heeft een zeer klein winkeltje en twee restaurants/hotel die alleen in het hoogseizoen vaker open zijn. Vooral de stilte en de afzondering hebben wij zeer gewaardeerd. Er zijn direct vanaf de woning slechts een paar wandelroutes (GR) beschikbaar.

Diese Ferien haben uns sehr gut getan! Wir konnten uns endlich mit der Familie ausruhen und sagen, dass wir es nach diesem besonders schwierigen Jahr wirklich brauchten. Die Berge, die saubere Luft, die herrlichen Landschaften, dieses charmante Haus, nichts Vergleichbares, um Ihre Energie wieder aufzufüllen. Es war wirklich sehr nett von Ihnen, es mit uns zu teilen. Dank Ihnen hatten wir einen unvergesslichen Sommer, die Kinder liebten die verschiedenen Aktivitäten (Tischtennis, Radfahren, Swing, Minigolf ...) Vielen Dank an Santiago für Ihren herzlichen Empfang und Ihren guten Rat. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Ihrem Haus. Und nochmals vielen Dank für Ihr Obstgartengemüse, es war köstlich. Unser Aufenthalt verlief sehr gut und wir konnten Ihre wunderschöne Region entdecken. Bis bald. PS: Da es sich um ein Haus handelt, in dem Familien mit kleinen Kindern untergebracht werden können, muss möglicherweise ein Kinderbett und Geschirr für Kinder bereitgestellt werden (Plastikteller und Glas).

We really loved our stay at this beautiful rural house! We enjoyed swimming in the pool durimg bthe hottest days and we felt very confortable in the house, since it resulted perfect for the number of guests. The place is brilliant for a nice and relaxing holiday, but from there we could also explore this beautiful area. We went to visit Ronda, it is a great place, very interesting and authentic with a lot of things to do around the town. The twenty minute journey from Ronda to Alpandeire has also a beautiful views. We went with the family and children: the house is set up great for kids, and they loved our stay a lot. Santiago is the perfect host, lovely, kind and helpful. He was always happy to help us when we need it and he gave us also many advices about what to see and what to do in the area. It was a great privilege to taste the organic vegetables from the house gardens, they were delicious. We would highly recommend this holidays home.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house. The pool is a great size and the house was perfect for the four for us but it could easily host a larger family. Set in its own grounds it's brilliant for a nice relaxing holiday. Ronda is a great place, loads to see and do in & around the town. The house is set up great for kids, loads of lovely touches to make it a special place and lots to explore in the grounds. The twenty minute journey from Ronda to Alpandeire has some fantastic views. Santiago is the perfect host - a lovely guy. Always happy to help if required and he went as far as tour guiding us around the area a couple of times. It was a great privilege to be able to help ourselves to the organic vegetables from the house gardens. Great value for money, we would highly recommend this quirky house.

Our holiday was a success and this was partly due to the fantastic house with a pool and lots of privacy. But also by Santiago: a good and very friendly host who gave us valuable tips and leaded us through Ronda as a guide to attractions. He and his wife made sure that everything in the house, the terrain and the pool is very neatly and clean. And you can freely eat vegetables from the garden (huerta). Tips: EAT La Casa Grande in Alpandeire: not super cheap, but delicious and refined. And…. at walking distance. Bodega San Francisco in Ronda (just outside the ancient city gate: good food, low prices, nice spot. Sometimes all tables are occupied. Restaurante Las Banderas roadside Ronda - Benoajan, 2 km before Benoajan: authentic family company, good food, low prices, friendly service The best sangria ever !! Handwritten bill by 'papa'. SIGHTS Granada Alhambra: Worth it! We had not booked in advance and therefore had no access to Palacios Nazaries, but that is only 5% of the whole. The tickets will then cost half the price of full access… Ronda: lots to see. Some museums are free one day a week open, but the next week may again another day or another museum. Ask at reception of the museum worthwhile. Very nice is a guided tour through Santiago. Price included! Only give him a Coke after the walk. Setenil de las Bodegas: here the houses are built under and in the rocks. Park the car outside the city center, the streets are very narrow! Sevilla: old center with many attractions. Park your car outside the city, with the Metro you step out right in the center. Ask Santiago details about parking. Cádiz: beautiful coastal town, nice parks with tropical vegetation. Gibraltar: a ‘must seen’. Park your car still in Spain, near the McD. Go walking across the border (don’t forget your passport!!) and take the regular bus to the center for a few euro’s. That’s the simplest and cheapest way. For a total package including cable car and museums you have to pay ten times more. Bus stands about 100 m. behind the border-office.

The villa absolutely deserves a 5 star review, as its kind owner Santiago! The place is perfect to stay, it is located just outside of the village of Alpandeire and just 25 minutes from the beautiful city of Ronda if you want do go for a trip. Everything was fine, the house was very clean, and our children loved the place since there are many differents little spots to play and toys. Santiago has been very welcoming and also an amazing guide, he suggested us many amazing places and activities for our stay. We enjoyed our time outdoor, swimming in the pool and spending time in the garden, which gave us fresh fruits and vegetables. Absolutely recommended, we will come back again!

van 3 t/m 17 september hadden we het huis van Santiago tot onze beschikking. Gelijk bij aankomt werden we overvallen door de ruimte en de rust van het huis en de omgeving. Overdag was het heerlijk warm dus een duik in het zwembad was een heerlijke verkoeling, en later in de avond kwam de koele lucht over de bergtoppen waardoor het slapen op de goede bedden geen straf was. Het huisje was knus en van alle gemakken voorzien, zeker de buitenkeuken is een pre omdat in de periode dat wij er waren het ook in de avond nog lang warm was waardoor de buitenkeuken een uitkomst was. Santiago (de eigenaar) komt om de 3/4 dagen even langs om zijn tuin te onderhouden en een bezem door het zwembad te halen om het te reinigen. Vooraf even een WhatsApp berichtje ter afstemming en communicatie waardoor er geen onverwachte situaties ontstonden. Ondanks dat Santiago gebrekkig Engels spreekt is hij (in combinatie met zijn vriend Google translate) goed te begrijpen. Mede op aanraden van Santiago hebben we een paar mooie plekjes in de omgeving gezien. Het mooie plaatsje Zahara de la Sierra maar ook de route van Zahara de la Sierra naar Grazalema bevat prachtige natuurschoon. Verder verraste Santiago ons met zijn komkommers en groene puntpaprika uit eigen tuin. Onbespoten en vol van smaak. Alles bij elkaar, de prachtige locatie als wel de centrale ligging t.o.v. Cadiz, Sevilla, Cordoba, Malaga, Marbella en natuurlijk Ronda waren het twee weken die mede door de ligging van het huis en het prive zwembad om zijn gevlogen.

We loved our three-week stay at this beautiful Villa. Although we have holidayed in Spain several times, this was our first holiday - and first visit - in the Ronda area, and we had a great time. We were looking for a tranquil, relaxing country house with pool, privacy, and views, and this house provided all of this and more.... The house is just a short 300m walk from the village of Alpandeire, and has a great pool, wi-fi, fruit and vegetables orchard, very good inside and outside kitchens, and all the necessary resources and facilities for a relaxing, happy stay. Although close enough to walk to the village, the house and gardens are not overlooked at all, and offers great peace and privacy. Owner Santiago visits every 2-3 days to clean the pool, water the fruit and vegetable garden, and generally maintain the external area of the house and grounds, and is otherwise available via email or phone for any questions or potential difficulties. Santiago speaks some English, and we felt very able to converse using some English, a few basic Spanish words, and Santiago's phone app translator. I greatly enjoyed speaking with Santiago, and he is very willing to help and assist in any and every way. Santiago was born about 25km from Alpandeire, and knows 'everything' about the local area through his personal and working experiences. He is very willing to advise on anything about the countryside around the house, or the Ronda area, or the wider province. He can advise on places to visit, restaurants, etc... Santiago positively encourages guests to pick and eat the vegetables, herbs and fruits that grow in the gardens, including cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, onions, tomatoes, raspberries, lemons, limes, mint, etc etc... The local village - Alpandeire - has a bakery, a small general shop, and 2-3 bars. Many of the local villages are similar to Alpandeire, and all look beautiful in the mountainous environment. Most of the local villages have at least a couple of bars / restaurants, and the blue-washed 'Smurf' village of Juzcar is just 6km away. The larger town of Ronda is about 20km away, and this is where we shopped in supermarkets. Ronda is also a beautiful, historic town to visit for it's history, culture and amazing scenery. Although we ourselves spent most of our time relaxing by the pool, or walking or running in the local hills, or driving to the surrounding villages / Ronda, the coast and cities like Granada, Malaga, and Sevilla are not

We hebben hier de in de meivakantie met veel plezier een week doorgebracht. Santiago (de eigenaar) is zeer enthousiast, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij kan zich prima redden in het Engels, met dank aan Google translate en de "apen van de rots van Gibraltar", waar hij volgens eigen zeggen zijn Engels van heeft geleerd. Het huisje heeft alle benodigde luxe, m.u.v. Nederlandstalige TV kanalen en een vaatwasser. Dat zijn echter 2 zaken die wij in de vakantie uitstekend kunnen missen. WiFi/Internet werkt goed, de bedden liggen prima (3x 1-persoons, 2x twijfelaar 1m35). De ruime tuin heeft veel terrasjes, schaduwplekken, een ruim zwembad en is geheel omheind. Een flink stuk land er omheen hoort ook bij het huis en is ook omheind en is een prima speelplek voor kinderen; het is groot genoeg voor een kort avondwandelingetje en er is zelfs een grot. Het huisje biedt veel privacy en ligt lekker rustig. Alpandeire is een prima uitvalplaats voor wandelingen en onze favoriete sport: via ferrata's klimmen (stuk of 10 in de buurt varierend van A tot C/D). Vergeet vooral niet om Juzcar te bezoeken (zeker met jonge kinderen niet)!

Hola. Nos alojamos en esta casa una semana del mes de agosto y nos fue fenomenal. Mis hijos se lo pasaron en grande con el columpio, las bicicletas, la piscina, mesa de ping - pong, etc. No tienes que estar pendiente de ellos porque tienen una gran zona para jugar. La limpieza de la casa fenomenal al igual que la piscina y el entorno. Santiago pone un huerto ecológico del cual ofrece productos a sus huéspedes. La relación calidad - precio es inmejorable ya que te hacen un presupuesto personalizado según las personas que vallan. !!! PARA REPETIR !!!
