Carratraca is the gateway to the area known by the Spanish as the Andalucian Lake District. It is only 40min drive from Malaga airport or 90min from Granada airport. The famous Costa del Sol resorts (Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Marbella)are within 45min drive, but at Villa Quatro Vientos you will experience a completely different world- the real Spain. Within 10 minutes drive from the villa you will find beautiful turquoise lakes surrounded by pine trees where you can swim, fish and hire pedalos or canoes. Carratraca is a classic white village typical of the area, but unusually has a luxury spa baths. A Parador restaurant opens at weekends serving excellent reasonably priced meals, while the local bar/restaurants adjacent to the public spa offer 4 course lunches from €6. There is a local baker, butcher, fishmonger and the bank has an ATM machine. This is a beautiful area of Inland Spain- unspoilt, laid back and friendly, yet easily accessible.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Carratraca, Spain

Attractions: The village of Carratraca has a selection of bars, restaurants and local shops. Famous 19century spa baths have been recently renovated. Massages, treatments and use of the thermal baths can be booked during your stay. They are run by the Ritz Carlton which also runs a 5 star hotel with restaurant open to non-residents. It is only 10 minutes drive from 3 beautiful lakes which are part of the Natural Park of Ardales. This area is popular with the Spanish, but a little known area to most British tourists. The lakes offer bathing, pedalo and canoe hire and picnic facilities. There are some bars and restaurants around the lakes with stunning views. It is a popular area for mountain biking and bikes can be hired and delivered to the villa from 10 euros a day. Half day quad-biking excursions available around lakes and over mountains. Day trips are easily manageable to Costa de Sol beaches (45 min) and the historic towns of Ronda (45 min), Granada (1.5 hrs) and Seville (2 hrs).

These are even cheaper mid-week and we will accept bookings with a flexible start day to help with your travel arrangements. Alternatively, Granada airport is an easy 90 minutes drive away on a good road. Flights are now available to Granada from some UK airports with flights costing as little 10 pounds each way. We provide comprehensive directions from both airports and will meet you personally at the villa. We live locally and are on hand throughout your stay, should you need us. Whilst car hire is strongly recommended, if you would prefer not to drive, we might be able to organise airport transfers and day-trips with a local English nationality driver. Please ask us when booking.

A Hidden Treasure

Gemma and Craig newcastle Upon Tyne
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We stayed at this villa in the first week in October and it was everything we wanted and more. Be prepared for the views to blow you away. We have never 'done' a private apartment holiday before and I can confidently say we will never go back to hotels. The apartment is exactly as the pictures show. Clean, comfortable with everything you need. Having your own pool is one of the highlights, good size and maintained well. The first dip of the day can be pretty cold but great to clear any hangovers! As a couple in our thirties, we wanted to be able to go out in the evening for a few drinks and although Carratraca doesnt have a jumping nightlife there was a couple of lovely little bars with friendly staff which was enough for us. We cant really comment on the restaurant scene as we opted most nights for a bbq in the villa as Eryl and Roland kindly took us to the supermarket to stock up after our arrival. From what we heard though the restaurants sound good and offering a good choice. We decided to not hire a car as we were only there for 5 nights and it really wasnt a problem, i would however recommend it if you want to be out and about.Its very difficult to sum up this review apart from saying its been the best holiday we have ever had. Although its a cliche, you really will see the real spain and if you simply want to unwind in breathtaking beauty, Book up now! We have never been a couple who return to the same place every year but have made a joint decision that we will be returing next year. Finally, a quick mention about the owners Eryl and Roland. They are excellent hosts and their passion for the area really shows. We bumped into them by chance on our last afternoon and enjoyed a 'few' beers together. They are a great couple and we cant thank them enough. See you next year.
Owner's Response: Thank you for taking the trouble to write a review following your holiday with us.
We are pleased you enjoyed yourselves and fell in love with the area as we did when we first moved here.
We put a lot of effort into trying to make it a perfect holiday for guests and it is so rewarding when people appreciate this.
We certainly enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you again next year.

Villa in fabulous location

Eilly North Wales
Review Submitted: July 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned from a two week stay in the Villa which proved to be a very realxing and enjoyable holiday. The views from all around the villa are stunning but the location is not too isolated. The village is a 10 minute walk up hill ( best attempted during the cooler time of day) or a 2 minute car ride. A few small shops in Carratraca but a greater choice and improved prices in the supermarkets of Alora which is only 20 minutes over the mountain road.
Plenty of things to do in the area if you can drag yourself away from the pool at the villa. We visited the Lakes area, a must midweek but too busy at the weekend. We also visited Rhonda which was a straight journey from the villa on the new road. Also not too far to the beaches but we did not bother.
We preffered to stay by the pool for most of the time as weather was very hot. It was no hardship to prepare a nice meal in the evening, as the villa was fully equiped and very comfortable. Eryl and Roland called in most days to check the pool and were able to offer advise about the area .We visited the Parador restaraunt in the villiage twice, it was reasonably priced but large portions,starter and main course too much for us. Owner speaks some english and can help with the menu.
We would definitly recomend the villa for a peacefull relaxing holiday and would certanly consider returning in the future.
(We have only been home one week but wish we were still there)

Fantastic villa in a beautiful part of Spain

TomL Manchester
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We spent our easter holiday at this villa. The weather was perfect: sunny and hot in the day, with cool nights.

The villa itself is fantastic. The living area is very spacious, equipped with everything to make the stay comfortable. We made good use of the pool and barbecue. The view from the villa is stunning.

The local village is beautiful, unspoilt by tourism, with friendly bars serving great food. There is a very good bus system for visiting cities.

This is a perfect place to spend time relaxing and enjoying the local area, or to use it as a base to explore Andalucia.
Owner's Response: We are pleased to have another contended customer, enjoyed your company also, and hope you will be back again in the near future.

Quatro Vientos

nick/ed Northumberland
Review Submitted: September 18, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The villa was everything you could wish for - had all the mod cons and was very comfortable. The pool was completely private and the views from the villa amazing.
The local village had small shops and several restaurants (El Parador being a favourite) - take a phrase book as all menus (and waiters!) in spanish.
Make the effort to go out and explore. Fantastic scenery all around, pretty local towns and if prepared for a day out Gibraltor easily reachable. Local lakes provide a pleasant day out - though to avoid the crowds don't go at the weekend.
If touristy places are a drawer Malaga is 45 minutes away and Mijas close. However this holiday would suit people who want to get away from the crowds and have a truely relaxing and spanish experience.
We had a wonderful holiday and would like to thank the Highams for helping making it so.

I wouldn't hesitate ( and infact have!) to recommend this area and villa to friends and family.

alamag Northumberland England
Review Submitted: August 6, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Coming from the beautiful Cheviots Hills we still find this a stuning location, our second trip! Only 10minute walk up to a lovely little village with most amenities available including a couple of nice restaurants.
The region is beautiful and the N357 north takes you through some stunning hills and lakes. (Rhonda & Campillos)
The villa is very comfortable and well equipped but the terrace and pool is hard to tear yourself away from.
The owners,Eryl and Roland have proved themselves as excellent hosts with a good knowledge of the area.
We could tell that our stay here was important to them and they were onhand to help with any enquiries and problems.
We would not hesitate to recommend this villa (and also Casa Eleanor-their larger villa,which we rented last year).
