Charming 19th century stone built cottage. Magnificent location

La Majada Alta is situated within a National Park, and stands in several thousand square metres of private grounds in an exceptionally beautiful area of mountains and lakes. The cottage is ideal for those who will enjoy the relaxing sounds of goat bells or the call of the eagle owl or the sight of eagles drifting overhead. This is also an ideal base for the more active visitor who will find satisfaction from the beautiful walks, the lakes, the white villages, the famous gorge at El Chorro, or the fantastic limestone formations at El Torcal.
If you believe in magic you will love La Majada Alta cottage.

The location, the house, the views, the comfort and charm - everything about this place is a ten out of ten. And to top it off Colin was the most attentive and thoughtful host we’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much again for an unforgettable stay, we hope to be back!

Great Stay
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset, sunrises, etc. It is very peaceful, clean and spacious. We wished we could have spent more time here. The pool was very refreshing after some long hot dates of traveling. The host is very helpful and friendly.

Stay in paradise
We stayed for a week and the villa was clean and met every expectation and more. The host Colin was very attentive and always on hand should we need for recommendations of restaurants and where to go. The Villa offered a fantastic pool with amazing views and was suited to our family with three teens. Colin met us to take us to the villa even though this was after midnight and this was much appreciated. The area is lovely and quiet and very peaceful, however you can still access busier parts if you required which are a drive away. This was a really beautiful and secluded area with stunning gardens surrounding the villa. There was mountains in front and behind the villa which meant every entrance had natural beauty that you can escape in. The holiday in itself was amazing and would definitely recommend this property to anyone else who wishes to visit the area. Colin was also attentive to our needs noticing our late arrival and asked us for a shopping list which he ensured was at the villa on our arrival as we had three hungry teens! Would love to stay again! This villa was roomy, homely and met each of our individual needs. Thanks Colin and Francesca!

Absolutely stunning.
A beautiful property in a picture perfect location. Clean and fresh and I thought it felt bigger than in the pictures. The host was easy to get in touch with and showed us to the property from the local village. I will miss sitting outside and admiring the gorgeous 360° views.

Exploring Southern Spain
Staying at this Spanish Cottage in the hills of Southern Spain is like you are in a dream. The cottage has a quaint country Spanish feel and it is just like the online pictures. There was plenty of room for the four of us. We had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking items. We even used the barbecue one night to cook dinner. The pool area is lovely! The views are spectacular as you are high on a hill. We do suggest you have a car to get around as the closest market store is about a 15 minute drive away on windy roads. There are plenty of small villages to explore in the area and we suggest you visit Antequera. We used the cottage as our home base to visit Granada, Cordoba and a must see white village, Frigiliana, in the Costa del Sol area. The property offers a quiet relaxing space to come back to after a day of exploring or if you are looking for total relaxation this is a great property. Our hosts Colin and Francesca were delightful, hospitable and responded quickly to any communications we had. We recommend this property!

Perfect stay for a climbing holiday
Excellent property in a perfect location for climbers. The house was large, clean and well equipped, with everything you would need for any length stay in the location. Couldn't have been better for our needs and would definitely stay again.

The best place to stay with friends
Our stay here could not have been better. We were a group of seven friends staying in the area to rock climb. Guess what, there is climbing right on the property! Then after you can just relax in a pool. Amazing value and clean. Wifi worked well and was stocked with good amenities. Host was helpful and was easy to find. The house is older but gives it character. Just remember to bring food and toiletries with you as it is not super close to anything with lots of selection. Would totally stay here again without hesitation.

Peaceful getaway
Lovely villa, with stunning views across the valley. The property is well equipped, and the air con in the bedrooms was really effective. Plenty of space for us all, and Colin was really helpful with useful information and advice from booking till we left. Thank you for a memorable family holiday!
