We had a fantastic stay! A secluded spot which felt really private. The house and pool are beautiful. Everything was super clean and the hosts are friendly and extremely helpful! We enjoyed the BBQ and we even got to try some fresh eggs from the chickens! Thank you
Spent 3 amazing weeks at this lovely farmhouse with family and friends. The house is well-equipped and spacious and had everything we needed to feel at home. (The WIFI is surprisingly good given the remote location which was helpful as we were working for most of the stay.) Helen and Pete were great hosts - always available/responsive when needed. Could not recommend this house more and look forward to coming back one day!
An amazing house and location. An unforgettable getaway.
The house in bed hills north of Malaga is incredible. Spacious and with plenty of outdoor space to lounge and enjoy the endless sunshine, while drinking wine and looking out over the valley.
My favorite memory is grilling ponchos de cerdo on the patio while my friends drank wine and scarfed down olives and pan. Watching the sunset from the pool is a close second.
Helen and Pete and their daughters and Pepa the dog all greeted me upon check in. They were friendly and hospitable. I invited them for tea one afternoon. My wife and I enjoyed visiting with them and talking about the process of restoration and life in southern Spain.
We can't recommend this place highly enough. It's an amazing getaway.
We spent two weeks here with our two children (7 and 3 yrs.) and had an amazingly relaxed vacation. The owners Helen and Pete go out of their way to make you feel welcome and enjoy your stay. They even offered doing some grocery shopping before our arrival because we arrived on a sunday and most shops were closed.
And then there is the house. It is ideally set to enjoy the quiet Andalusian country life but also just a 30 minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of Malaga. A supermarket and several restaurants are just minutes away by car in Casabermeja. The house itself is tastefully decorated and has all you could wish for. Outside are several seating areas so there is always an ideal place to sit depending on the time of day.
But for us the absolute winner is the pool area. We were surrounded by beautiful views while floating in the pool. Our kids didn't want to go back home and were very sad to leave. I'm pretty sure we'll be back a.s.a.p.
