Old Cortijo, luxury accomodation in secluded, unspoilt location

Our restored Cortijo is situated in a secluded peaceful location on its own hill surrounded by gardens full of exotic colourful flowers, sweet smelling plants and orange and lemon trees. The Cortijo has breathtaking panoramic mountain and countryside views of olive and almond trees all the way around and looks south towards the hilltop village of Comares. The attractive swimming pool sits naturally in the landscape within the garden. We have renovated the farmhouse to a very high standard retaining the features and feeling of this beautiful comfortable home but with all modern facilities. Traditional heavy old doors and wooden shutters, hand made tiled floors and beamed ceilings throughout are part of the unique character and charm of this spacious and special retreat .The interior has been professionally designed with particular attention to detail. For a quiet, tranquil, relaxing stay yet within easy reach of local villages, the coast and historic cities then El Terral is for you

Our beautiful old Cortijo sits on its own surrounded by olive and almond groves. It is five minutes drive from the pretty white washed pueblo of Riogordo in the region of Axarquia. The village is typically Andalucian with its narrow winding streets and small tapas bars. Our hideaway Cortijo is situated to the north east of Malaga in the region of Axarquia. It is a designated area of outstanding beauty surrounded by National Parks, a well kept secret between the Mediterranean and the Sierras. Excellent roads are easily accessible to visit Granada (1 hour), Antequera (30 minutes), Ronda and Gibraltar (under two hours), Cordoba and Seville (just over 2 hours), Lake Vinuela (10 minutes) and Nerja (45 minutes). Riogordo has a selection of small shops including a mini market which sells freshly baked bread every day, a pharmacy, two butchers, a fishmonger, a weekly market, a shop for stamps, a Post Office and two banks. The 24 hour Health Centre is situated in the next village of Colmenar.

Guest letters received:

“Jon and I had a wonderful time at your Cortijo! I was only able to take one week vacation and the privacy and peacefulness of the house helped us relax as if we had been on holiday for several weeks! We do hope we can visit again….It was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in, so comfortable and full of character. Once again, we absolutely enjoyed our stay and feel that you have done a great job with the house and grounds.” S and J. USA “We were very impressed with the villa and its location. A very enjoyable week was had by all of us. The sky was blue, the sun shone every day and the pool was perfect.” PAB/Basingtoke UK “It’s a lovely house – I really enjoyed all those different places to sit, with well placed table and chairs. Also it is the first time I have had a private pool and I love swimming.” JP/London UK “We had a superb holiday, visiting amongst other places Granada, Gibraltar, and the beaches at Nerja. Thank you so much.' L, M, A. S. Bristol UK

“It is with great reluctance I return the key to your Cortijo! The past two weeks have been idyllic and we have so enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. You could not ask for a more peaceful setting, wonderful views and perfect climate. The house itself is delightful. I had to be dragged away each time we needed to visit other places, but of course it was worth it, particularly our day at the Alhambra, Granada.” “Yet again we thank you for the use of your beautiful home for our holiday. If anything, I think we enjoyed it even more this year. The plants and flowers were astonishing, so much colour and healthy growth. Yes we had a great time, relaxing, eating and drinking far too much, and exploring new territory.” T and H and family/Liss Hampshire/UK 'Thank you for everything, your house is beautiful and has helped in making this a fab holiday for us! Thanks so much for all your helpful tips - excellent advice for day trips (and shopping)...) R, V, C and J Epsom, Surrey, UK
