The village’s whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs, spread across the hillside, mark it as one of the pueblo’s Blanco or white villages of Andalucia. It is overlooked by its castle Castello del Aguila (Eagles’ Castle) and enjoys spectacular views down the valley of the Genal River to the Mediterranean Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains of North Africa.

The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the area is of particular interest to those who enjoy walking and bird watching and is on the main migratory route from Europe to North Africa. The area offers many walks with interesting flora and fauna and, by car, tours to the many pueblo’s Blanco of Andalucia. The Costa del Sol is approximately 25 minutes drive, its golf courses 30 to 40 minutes drive and the Atlantic beaches are accessible within one hour’s drive.

Casa Mirador

Review Submitted: August 30, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The house is located in a perfect position with beautiful views from the house and pool down to the south coast of Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco but also immediate access to the local shops (lovely little traditional Spanish grocers) and restaurants (brilliant cheap Tapas bar in one of the squares). Day trips to the beautiful town of Ronda, less busy parts of the coast of Spain (eg Tarifa/Cadiz), and Morocco are great fun. We were there during Fiesta in early August which makes Gaucin town more lively but does mean some noise at night (the house is 10 minutes walk from the main centre of festivities but you can still hear the music through the night). We have older teenage girls who found it a great place to relax during the day and go into the town for the late evening (but note, it wouldn't be suitable if you had children looking for a lively night culture). The house is well furnished and spacious, with a very helpful local manager, Pam. The pool is immediately accessible to the house and is shared with two other properties (we don't mind sharing but others might).The property is 90 minutes by car from Malaga airport. Car is essential if you are to get about - but beware narrow streets in hill towns. There were six of us and we got up-graded to a Chrysler Voyager which didn't fit through some of the narrow streets! Overall, the property is great value for money.

A place to come back to

Review Submitted: October 12, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
It is always interesting to see if the description fits reality. We was very happy to see that everything was just fine. Very nice house, outstanding view we will never forget. Pam guided us to the house and showed us the the important things on the way(f.eks bank supermarket, restaurants)
I also appreciate a kitchen with oil and spices, never seen that before.
We found it so perfekt because we like to walk. The possibilities are many even close to the town.
And when you come home you can enjoy the lovely pool(we had it to ourselves)
The restaurants in town are of a fine standard, no turist menu,and ewerything in a walking distance.
I recommend this place for those who like peace, nature, walking, sigthseeing.

Wonderful whitewashed house with fabulous views

Review Submitted: May 9, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
My friends and I stayed at Casa Mirador for a week in March. The house is lovely and very well equipped; the kitchen has everything you need if you want to buy food and cook at home, the sitting room has a real fire, and the bedrooms are pretty and very comfortable. Everything you could need is provided and the house was both very clean and well maintained.
There is a private terrace outside the sitting room where you can eat and enjoy the fantastic views; on the last day that were were in Gaucin, the sky was so clear we could see all the way to the coast of Africa from the house.
The centre of Gaucin is less than a minute's walk away and is lovely. There is a town square with a bar and tables outside to sit in the sunshine and there are several good restaurants in the town, as well as small supermarkets and excellent cafes. The surrounding coutryside is beautiful and the house has maps for walks in the local area - I climbed La Hacha which is the large hill behind Gaucin and from where there are fantastic views over the town and far beyond.
We also found that Gaucin was an excellent base to explore nearby towns such as Ronda, and to drive to the coast to spend a day by the sea.
Gaucin is a beautiful place and Casa Mirador is wonderful home in Gaucin - I wholeheartedly recommend them both.

Beautiful property with beautiful views.

Review Submitted: May 9, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
I stayed here with 2 friends in March 2011. The property is one of the most stunning rental properties I've ever stayed in - beautifully furnished, extremely well equiped, and the most amazing views. Every room has incredible views across the valley, and there are 2 wonderful terraces for sitting and enjoying the splendour over a glass of local wine. The owners have gone above and beyond in terms of providing everything you might need for your stay - from an incredibly well equiped kitchen, laundry facilities, through to plenty of very detailed information about where to visit on your stay, restaurants, local amenities etc. It could not have been easier. There is a lovely shared pool with a private terrace belonging to the property and sunloungers and chairs provided. The village itself is absolutely charming and full of very friendly locals, lovely restaurants and cafes, and plenty to keep you occupied if you just fancy chilling out and recharging, and experiencing some sleepy spanish mountain life, or if you are a keen walker, than this area is ideal (we were not!). It's also a shortish drive from some of the loveliest beaches on the costa del sol, or from various historical places of interest such as Ronda, so we were never bored. Really really recommend!

great views from the terrace !

Review Submitted: March 22, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
we booked this house due to the promise of good views from the terrace and lounge/bedrooms. we were not disappointed. although it rained for the first few days, maybe March is too early for Spain sometimes, on the mornings it was sunny the view is as good as shown in the photos. A well equipped house and the availability of central heating for the cold evenings and being able to buy logs locally and have the fire was great.

The house was clean and the bedding was in excelllent condition and towels lovely and fresh . The walls are thin and as requested in the paperwork on arrival, we kept noise levels down, that may be more challenging for families with younger children. The only point to note is the two flights of steps down to the bedrooms (double on -1) and second bedroom and access to the pool terrace ( twin on -2) . these are very steep and you need to be fit !

Gaucin is a typical Andalusian town with a few bars and shops. no restaurants were open during our stay only La Fructuosa on the last Friday night but we had seen mixed reviews left for guests in the house so didn't try it out.

There isn't much to do in Gaucin it takes about 2 hours to visit in all. We did drive to Jerez, Ronda, Seville and Cordoba which gave us afternoons to walk around and get back about 8pm. Ronda is 30 mins away and the road is good . If you like rural life and sitting admiring the views this is a great location. If you are a nervous driver at all then the narrow streets enroute through Gaucin (which often have parked cars on just to add to the excitement !) then you need to make sure you hire a small car.
