Notes: Our stylish Moorish property can best be described as a fantastic get away, although you are only 20 minutes from civilisation. Think of it as a 'home from home' - we have a beautiful tiled, ionised swimming pool, sky tv in two rooms, board games, small snooker table and wonderful walks with nesting eagles close by. A perfect retreat for anyone wanting some peace and quiet especially artists or musicians. We have had wonderful visitors in this our first year: all ages and nationalities with fantastic reviews too! We have two resident pet cats Tigger and Rocco who have access to the enclosed hallway through a catflap - if you like animals they are welcome indoors but can easily be kept out of bedrooms and the main living area . There are so many other places to eat: indoors, in the kasbah which is sheltered, outside on the terraces or even on the roof. A 'seagull' water purification system provides pure drinking water. We short let our property from end March to end of Oct

15 days holidays in Cortijo

Didier family Paris, France
Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
C'est un petit paradis de charme et de calme.
Sa situation en hauteur lui confère une vue superbe et à 360 degrés, on aperçoit même la mer à l'horizon.
La décoration est très raffinée, colorée et inspirée des voyages de Harriet et Paul
La maison est très bien équipée, rien ne manque au confort y compris la climatisation, et dans cette région, on apprécie particulièrement la machine à glaçons, et l'eau potable directement au robinet.
Quel plaisir de se baigner dans la piscine au carrelage bleu profond et cernée de très jolies mosaiques.
Les plantes fleuries et arbustes sur les terrasses et autour de la maison sont magnifiques et très bien entretenues par les arrosages automatiques. Après une nuit au calme absolu, c'est un bonheur de prendre son petit déjeuner sur ces terrasses ombragées et fleuries.
Quand la nuit tombe et que les cigales laissent parler les grillons, c'est un moment aussi agréable, et toutes les sources de lumières ne gâchent rien au plaisir. Le jardin, la piscine, les terrasses, le petit coin marocain, c'est un festival de petites lumières qui agrémentent bien nos soirées.
Il n'y a pas de site aussi charmant sans la gentillesse et la confiance de leur propriétaire, nous les remercions très chaleureusement.

Shangrila

Maureen & Mike Salisbury, England
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Mike and Maureen

Los Banuelos has to be visited to really appreciate the beauty and tranquility of it's mountain setting. Harriet and Paul let us sample their idyll for a few days and stinted nothing to ensure our holiday was entirely memorable for young and old alike. Visits to The Alhambra, snorkelling and exploring the local cuisine were an added bonus but, in truth, relaxing in such wonderful surroundings was such a complete experience that every minute had to be valued. We would like to keep Harriet and Paul's secret but . . . .

Fabulous Holiday Home

Charlotte and Ciaran Salisbury, UK
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful home. It is well equipped, clean and very well maintained. The house has been cleverly designed creating lots of places to sit and enjoy the breathtaking views and pool. We spent a relaxing and peaceful 2 weeks layzing by the pool, reading books and magazines from the bookshelves. Our boys (ages 10, 7 and 4) had a geat time jumping in the pool, swimming (there is no shallow end) and playing on the pool table. The owners Harriet and Paul give good care and advice and we would not hesitate in recommending this lovely holiday home to any of our friends and family.

"Peace and tranquility to earth"

Philippe et Anne-Marie Paris - France
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Un mot s’impose : merveilleux !
Situation parfaite pour ceux qui apprécient le calme et le silence.
La vue panoramique est extraordinaire de jour, comme de nuit pour les étoiles.
La ville, les commerces, les restaurants, les différentes plages, ne sont qu’à 20 mn de voiture, sans embouteillage et l’exercice de conduite est un vrai bonheur.
La maison est très originale, l’aménagement très fonctionnel.
Le « + », c’est l’eau potable, qu’il est inutile de remonter en bidon de 5L, comme on a l’habitude en Espagne.
La décoration correspond en tout point à nos goûts.
La terrasse fleurie est un ravissement au petit déjeuner et au dîner.
Pour le déjeuner, préférez l’ombre en été… (il est possible de remonter des restaurants qq plats à emporter, y compris une pælla)
La piscine est superbe, de dimension parfaite, revêtue d’un carrelage bleu foncé pour une plus belle couleur de l’eau.
On est « comme à la maison » dès les premières minutes.
Enfin, pour finir, l’accueil est absolument parfait.
Nous reviendrons.

Enchantment!

David and Rosemary London
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We spent a week at this unique and magical place in June and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Paul and Harriet designed El Cobertizo as their own home and their talent for style and loving attention to detail make all the difference between this and the normal, often rather sterile, luxury rental property. Whatever we wanted to do, whatever the time of day, the perfect spot was always there. Bask in the sun on a choice of terraces, swim in the pool, or relax with music or a book in the shady Moorish Kasbah - then eat in the big country kitchen or sit out on the terrace and watch the sun go down with glass in hand and fresh fish on the barbecue!

The location is superb, high in the hills, totally calm and peaceful, yet only 20 minutes from local beaches and the Almunecar restaurants, shops and market. We also spent a day in Granada and visited the Alhambra - well worth an early start and amazing scenery en route! The owners are charming hosts, never obtrusive but always available to help if needed.

A wonderful week - and hastening to book another in 2010!
