BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE! - TOURIST BOARD REGISTERED: We are pleased to have been awarded a 'RECOMMENDED PROPERTY AWARD'. El Corcho and La Bellota are registered holiday homes “Vivienda Rurales” with the Andalucia Tourist Board, this is a legal requirement for renting out holiday homes - we feel this gives our guests the reassurance of our good standards.
In equipping the properties in Spain we have been guided by the standards of the Tourist Board in the UK – our Wharton Lock Apartment in Chester, UK has been awarded a high 4 star GOLD grading. When we started renting out holiday homes in Spain, some 6 years ago, we were advised to not spend a lot on furnishings – keep it cheap – as most people only come on holiday once to an area!
We took a different view and had a hand crafted kitchen, granite worktops, quality wooden furniture and good quality mattresses – not to mention buying a top of the range Hot Tub rather than basic one. We want you to enjoy your holiday and come back! We have many guests return - some up to 7 times!
Horse Riding, Water sports and the coast: There are horse riding stables and riding school for both beginners and the more experienced. Horse treks for 2 hours or more can be arranged to suit your experience.
Please contact us if you wish to book a horse riding package.
There are many opportunities along the coast to take part in all varieties of watersports. These range from waterskiing, paragliding, sea fishing, jet skiing, snorkelling, pedaloes, even swimming!
The beach resorts range from quiet typically Spanish beaches to the bustling resorts of Fuengirola and Torremolinos, the tiny harbour of Cabopino to the lavish harbour of Marbella and the award winning harbour of Benalmadena.
Just a 25 minute drive away from the villa there is a choice of 2 waterparks, one in Torremolinos and one in Fuengirola, with rides for all the family to enjoy.
The food and drink is reasonably priced however you are permitted to take in picnics to enjoy on the lawns.
As recommended by Andalucia journalist Rachel Webb: ‘As recommended by the Andalucia for Holidays and Luxury Spain Travel blogs’.

Would I do it again? Oh yes. Lovely villa great area for exploring and easy walking to bars and restaurants.
