This house combines the tranquillity of a rural setting with the comforts of a well-equipped home, ideal for families or groups of up to 5 people.

The comfortable sun loungers invite you to sunbathe and relax in complete tranquillity.
The porch is designed so that the sun only enters in the morning, ensuring a pleasant temperature and shade during the rest of the day, creating an ideal environment for eating and resting outdoors.
Inside, the house features an American-style kitchen equipped with a gas hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, and small appliances such as a coffee maker, toaster, kettle, and juicer, facilitating the preparation of your meals. The living-dining room, with high rustic ceilings and ceiling fans, creates a fresh and cosy atmosphere for relaxing and watching television.
The house has two bright rooms: one with a bunk bed and a single bed, and another with a double bed and a cot available, perfect for families with babies. Both rooms have built-in wardrobes to comfortably organise your luggage.
Moreover, the accommodation provides free WIFI so that you can stay connected throughout your entire stay.
The house offers 70 m² of cosy and outdoor space on a fenced plot with garden furniture, terrace and open-air parking. It is equipped with air conditioning, hairdryer and everything necessary for a comfortable and practical stay. Its rural location is perfect for families with children and for those seeking disconnection and nature.

Our stay at la casa de abuelo
We have booked 12 nights but we have decided to leave after 3 nights. We did not enjoy our stay. The house and especaially the garden did not feel comfy at all, most things were not in a good condition, it looked like nobody has taken care of it recently. All toys were broken, not a good smell inside the bathroom, the beds were wore worn out, just to name a few things. While the view from the house was very beautiul, the neighbourhood was a little dodgy, there were some proporties with a lot of garbage on it, dogs barking all night. This is not what we have exprected seeing the photos on the website (especially for that price). The owner was friendly and reliable, however was not really interested in hearing our feedback. Instead he kept on saying that we did not feel well only because the whether, which is definately not true.

Pasamos unos días estupendos en la casa del abuelo
Pasamos unos días estupendos en la casa del abuelo. La decoración está un poco anticuada pero está todo muy bien cuidado y muy limpio. La casita es cómoda y fresquita, la cocina muy bien equipada y el jardín era perfecto para lo que necesitábamos. Tienen una cocina exterior y una barbacoa estupenda que nos encantó. Una zona de juegos para los más pequeños que es muy segura con muchos juguetes. Mis niñas se lo pasaron pipa. Y la piscina está bien protegida con una zona independiente con amacas y juguetes inchables. La casa del abuelo está muy cerquita del pueblo, nosotros hemos ido dando un paseo todos los días.En resumen tuvimos todo lo necesario para una estancia perfecta.

Cosy house on the hill side
Really nice house on the hill side and beautiful scenery. Well equiped kitchen with all the tools needed. Plenty of sleeping place, pool, and open spaces.
Really flexible and nice host! Eventhough he did not speak English and we did not speak Spanish it all worked out with a good laugh :)
Went there to go rock climbing in El Chorro.
The only heater is one gas heater, so it was a bit cold.
Tenía de todo,más de lo necesario así que todo muy bien aunque con dos problemillas, la piscina con agua siempre muy muy fría,y támbien que la electricidad se cortaba al encender el fuego de la vitroceramica al hacer de comer,esperemos que den solución para pa próxima vez ya que repetiremos encantados.

Buenos días, Álvaro,
Le queríamos dar las gracias para haber viajado con nosotros.
El propietario nos informó de que usted era un viajero ejemplario y había dejado la casa como los "chorritos de oro" :).
Es la primera vez que veamos necesario agradecerles, porque si la crítica puede ser constructiva, la valoración es una marca de gran reconocimiento.
Le deseamos un gran día
