The cottage is beautiful. It was a particularly cold Christmas in Spain and when I mentioned that we were cold, help on how to get the house warm, was instant. Lovely hosts, we felt safe and supported. Very quick reply on questions. Would like go back in the summer and have a dip in the “fish pond”, which is what we called the pool. (It’s not that small) Thank you, we had a great stay! See you again

Townhouse in the center of Riogordo

A clean and tidy townhouse in a good and central location. The house has a good layout with 2 lovely terraces. We visited in February and found the house to be very cold. The living room is heated with a pellet stove and can get quite warm, as can the bedroom, which can be heated with an air conditioner. However, the kitchen and bathroom were freezing cold and not very pleasant to stay in

Viva Espana

Absolutely perfect holiday home for a truely authentic taste of Spain. Located in the heart of the village, the house is beautifully furnished with all the creature comforts and stunning views from the tranquil roof terrace. The pictures don't show just how wonderful the panoramic views of the mountains were and the local church tower lit up in the evening was a real highlight. We never heard another English speaking person and despite having only a basic grasp of the Spanish language we managed to make ourselves understood in the local shops and bars who were all very friendly and welcoming. Simon and Jeanette were always quick to respond to any questions and the list of local restaurants was most useful. We had a taxi to and from Malaga airport for our 5 night stay and didn't need a car as we found everything we needed in the village. If you are looking for a genuine Spanish experience then we cannot recommend this place enough!

Entspannt im Hinterland von Malaga

Die Bilder in der Anzeige haben uns sofort angesprochen. Wir wollten keine dieser gesichtlosen FEWO 's in Appartementkomplexen am zugebauten Meer. Und wir wurden belohnt, es ist wie beschrieben. Was man nicht sieht auf den Bildern, sind die Klimaanlagen und Ventilatoren in den Schlafzimmern, sowie die Pelletheizung im Wohnzimmer. Also ein echtes Plus, für Alle die es brauchen. Aufgrund der Jahreszeit haben wir beides nicht benötigt. Etwas skeptisch waren wir, wegen dem Parken an der Straße. Aber es war wirklich kein Problem, im Umkreis von 100 Meter fand sich immer ein Platz. Riogordo war für uns der, gewünschte, ruhige Rückzugsort nach einem spannenden Tag voller Erlebnisse in Andalusien bzw. um uns Zwischendurch einfach zu erholen. Vor Ort gibt es kleine Supermärkte, Metzgereien, Fischladen und Banken, um alles notwendige zu kaufen. Die Anzahl an Bar's um Essen zu gehen ist begrenzt. Für uns aber ausreichend. Wir saßen gerne in der Bar La Plaza, für ein gutes, ordentliches Essen mit Blick auf das Geschehen rundum. Wer gerne in ein "richtiges" Restaurant möchte, muss eine kurze Autofahrt einplanen und findet in 15 - 20 Minuten Entfernung eine Auswahl verschiedener Möglichkeiten. Der Kontakt zu Jeanette und Simon war hervorragend und wir wurden mit klasse Empfehlungen versorgt. Ein extra Dankeschön dafür, wir haben sehr wohlgefühlt.

Vakantie in Riogordo

We hebben er net een zalige vakantie opzitten in Spanje en daar heeft dit vakantiehuis zéker heel veel mee te maken. We kunnen het dan ook zeker aanraden als je houdt van rust en gezelligheid! De uitrusting van het vakantiehuis is enorm breed, we hadden zelf weinig bij maar kwamen niets te kort. Tot onze verbazing was er ook recent airco geplaatst in de slaapkamers wat zeer welkom was. Wij kwamen van België, met de auto, wat een enorme trip is dus het was fijn dat het “inchecken” zelfstandig en vlot kon gebeuren. We hadden op voorhand veel en duidelijke uitleg gekregen, wat heel fijn was. De verdere communicatie met de eigenaars was dik ok. Ze staan zeker open voor vragen en/of meer uitleg via whatsapp. Voor grotere steden te bezoeken of grotere activiteiten te doen moet je wel een ritje rekenen van minstens, gemiddeld, een halfuur. Ook wel fijn om nadien te kunnen terugkeren naar oase van rust. We raden dit verblijf zeker aan!

Fantastisch vakantiehuis

Fantastisch vakantiehuis In het centrum van het plaatsje Riogordo, vlakbij het dorpspleintje. Het huis is perfect voor een verblijf van 2 à 3 personen Het huis heeft een grote, koele eetkeuken met alles wat je nodig hebt en een kleine prettige woonkamer. Naast de woonkamer een mooie schaduwrijke patio, overdekt met klimplanten en een klein (zwem)buitenbad. Vanaf het dakterras heb je een prachtig uitzicht over de bergen rond Riogordo. Keuken, slaapkamers en sanitair zijn schoon. Het buitenbad wordt regelmatig automatisch gereinigd. Heerlijke vakantiewoning op een mooie locatie.

Simplemente precioso

La casa y el pueblo son súper bonitos. Por poner una pega, pretendíamos teletrabajar un par de días, y el Internet va muy muy muy mal.... Es algo a tener en cuenta, se puede medio teletrabajar, pero en una parte de la casa solo, me molestó bastante la verdad. Por lo demás todo fantástico

Enjoyable stay

The house is very well located at the heart of Riogordo village. It's a charming andalucian style two storey house with patio and solarium. The place was very well equipped with everything you might need for your stay, including detailed instructions left by the owners and ideas and suggestions for excursions in the surroundings. The pool is more of a splash pool/ jacuzzi size. All in all we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

UN RINCON ACEPTABLE

La casa en si esta bastante acomodada, tiene todo muy bien pensado para una estancia de dos personas o para hacer noche para cuatro. La limpieza estaba por encima, nos encontramos muchisimo cabello de lo que esperemos eran los anteriores inquilinos. Esta bien situada para poder moverte por la zona y poder conocer otras ciudades cercanas. La comunicacion con los propietarios es casi por mi insistencia. La fianza me parece excesiva y tardan en devolver, llevo una semana desde que dejamos el lugar y nada, y cuatro dias laborales desde que me dijo que ya habia hecho el tramite. Es para pensarselo.

Super Wohnung im Hinterland von Malaga

Wir waren sehr begeistert von der Wohnung. Alles war perfekt. Sehr sauber und ordentlich und top eingerichtet mit allem, was man braucht. Der kleine Pool war natürlich das I-Tüpfelchen. Bei Temperaturen um die 40 Grad war der Pool die willkommene Abkühlung. Die Wohnung liegt schön im Hinterland von Malaga und eignet sich gut für Ausflüge. Die Wohnung kann ich nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Nettes authentisches Haus

Das Häuschen und der Ort haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus liegt direkt im Ort, in einer für Autos gesperrten Seitenstraße. Parken muss man an der Hauptstraße, wenige Meter entfernt. Einen Parkplatz gab es immer. Die Ausstattung des Objektes ist völlig ausreichend, alles Notwendige war vorhanden. Das Bett war sehr gut, wir konnten sehr ruhig schlafen. Wenn man im Winter (Dezember) übernachtet, sollte man ausreichend warme Kleidung dabei haben. Der Pellet-Ofen heizt nur die untere Etage, die Schlafzimmer bleiben sehr kühl. Wir waren überrascht, dass so viele Dorfbewohner recht passables Englisch sprachen. Es gibt viele kleinere Lebensmittelgeschäfte im Ort, sowie zwei größere, man bekommt alles. Wir können das Haus empfehlen, insbesondere wenn man einen ruhigen Urlaubsort sucht. Vielen Dank an Simon für die Unterstützung.

Brilliant!

Having just returned from a weeks holiday in this lovely Andalusian spanish town house so authentic but with a tasteful refurb. It has everything you need, the sun terrace is fantastic and so private,it has a great splash pool ideal for just chilling down in, in the evening the rear patio area can be lit up and the pool glows a lovely green adding to a great dining atmosphere quite romantic.The beds are really comfortable and again the rooms very spanish,the town it self is really nice and friendly with lots of little independent shops all very helpful even though no spanish is spoken, don't be put off its fun.I could go on and on ,we did not have an hire car on this occasion and just for the week we personally did'nt want one, but if you had one just for the airport runs alone it works out far cheaper than taxi transfers,and to add to that a sincere big thank you to Simon and Jeanette the lovely owners for all their help and advice and the organising of a taxi back to the airport all really beyond their call of duty. My wife and i really wished we had booked 2 weeks but god willing there's always a next time.Some cherished memories for sure, This to us was spain, not a week in Benidrm ! Go and Enjoy.

gezellig en rustgevend vakantiehuisje

Een mooi huisje: leuk ingericht, ruime badkamer met kwalitatieve en voldoende handdoeken en een wasmachine die goed werkt, een ruime keuken met voldoende én degelijk materiaal, een zalige jacuzzi. Gelegen in een rustig dorpje en op goed-te-overbruggen-afstand tussen de grotere steden (Cordoba, Granada,...). Kleine minpuntjes: er was geen airco op de slaapkamer (de ventilator geeft niet voldoende verkoeling) en in de kast op de slaapkamer zaten geen rekken om kleding op te leggen. Een aanrader voor vakantiegangers die niet graag in drukke, toeristische omgeving verblijven en opteren voor "genieten van rust en stilte"!

Ein sehr nette und gemütliche Wohnung mit einem wunderschönen Außenbereich

Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, Küche mit allem ausgestattet was man zum Kochen braucht. Es ist leider keine richtige Kaffeemaschine da, sonder nur eine Kaffeekanne mit Sieb zum durchdrücken, aber ist auch keine Problem gewesen. Das kleine Becken im Außenbereich ist wunderbar zum Abkühlen, schwimmen kann man nicht aber gemütlich sitzen. Für Kinder eine sicher sehr schönes Becken zum Planschen. Die Dachterrasse ist wunderbar zum Sonnen, leider fehlt ein Sonnenschirmständer. Die Schlafzimmer sind etwas klein aber ausreichend. Leider ist nur ein Kleiderschrank vorhanden ohne Ablagefächer. Mit Familie wird es etwas schwierig alle Kleider unterzubringen. Das Haus ist zwischen vielen andern Häusern eingebaut und die Zufahrt geht über eine sehr enge Gasse. Vor dem Haus gibt es keinen Parkplatz, muss man auf der Hauptstraße suchen, ist aber nicht weit zu laufen, ca. 50 Meter. Ich habe immer einen Parkplatz bekommen. Das Dorf ist sehr nett und überschaubar. Es gibt zwei kleinen Supermärkten in denen man wirklich alles bekommt. Es gibt auch Metzger- und Bäckerläden. Essen gehen kann man in verschiedenen Restaurants. Sind in der Hausbeschreibung mit Adresse aufgeführt. Es gibt auch zwei Tankstellen am Ort. Insgesamt hat uns das Haus und der Ort sehr gut gefallen und wir können es guten Gewissens, mit den kleinen Einschränkungen weiterempfehlen. Insgesamt war es ein sehr schöner

A quiet place to recover

The property is very nice and located in a quiet small town, which offers nevertheless many facilities. There are a few more picturesque small villages around the place and a national park for trekking, although a car would be required to explore most of the surroundings. The house itself is very well equipped and cozy. Specially its terrace which allowed for sunbathing even in winter. Getting to the place and identifying the property may be a bit tricky and requires clarification beforehand.
