Montecorto holiday : Montecorto

Included daily help: Two and a half hours of daily cleaning help from a charming, and very discreet, Spanish maid is included in the weekly rental price. (Occasionally guests prefer for Francisca NOT to come up to El Tejar to clean and tidy. No problem....). What is so unique about El Tejar is that, if you should wish, Francisca can also prepare meals for you. She can either prepare a wide range of 'tapas' for you - these are made in her own home and then delivered to you for your lunch or dinner. Or she can also cook a full 3 course meal three course meal (minimum of 4 people) which will be served to you at your candlelit dining table. Francisca uses organically grown vegetables from her husband's vegetable plot, proper stock in her soups, and prepares delicious meat and fish dishes.

Why is this place so EXCEPTIONAL?: What is so special about El Tejar is that although you're at the edge of the village, when you sit on the terraces or by the pool no other house is visible. You have the best of both worlds: easy access to village shops and bars and an utterly secluded, deeply private location. We believe we have the most comprehensive guest information of any rental property in the area which includes information on the best local bars and restaurants, where to visit, and detailed route notes of the area's most beautiful walks. And the housekeeper Francisca - should you need assistance - is always keen to help you in every possible way. Her hard work means that you have more time to lap up the atmosphere at El Tejar and simply relax. Of course, if you prefer Francisca not to come in on weekdays, no probs. The travel writer Alastair Sawday recently included El Tejar amongst his favourite places to stay in Spain and we have had features written about the house in several UK newspapers.

A bit more about the village and the area: Montecorto is a quiet, friendly village. There are a number of bars and restaurants including one in the pine forest where you can have al fresco meals. There will always be somebody who is keen to talk to you! There is a bakers, four small grocery stores - two of them provide baskets so you can pick things off the shelf, a useful thing for non-Spanish speakers - as well as a bank and chemists. A lot of the fruit and vegetables for sale in the village come from the fertile terraces beneath the village. If you prefer to shop in supermarkets, there are several choices in Ronda, just 15 minutes from El Tejar. We provide arriving guests with a booklet listing our favourite bars and restaurants, interesting visits in the area, maps of the village, of Ronda and of the surrounding area, a history of the house and general information about the house. We have found that this little booklet really helps you to get the most out of this beautiful area where we have lived for nearly two decades.
