Andalucia luxury villa with superb valley views and excellent facilities

What a wonderful holiday. The property was isolated enough so we were not worried about the kids making noise in the pool. There was so much space, two families living side by side did not feel cramped at all. Everything was beautifully clean and tidy. And the view... absolutely magical."

Gorgeous setting with a beautiful view. Large property with lots or space and very well equipped. The pool is large and the boys loved playing in it. The only thing I would say is be aware of the steep long drive into the property and ensure you have a the right car. It’s very steep in parts."

Perfect family villa. Great pool, lovely large veranda for eating and games. The driveway is difficult to manoeuvre - but you can get used to it, and it’s worth it for the views and privacy. The host was excellent and gave us all the help and advise we needed. A magical stay and we cannot wait to come again!"

Lovely villa and very good service all round. Only criticism would be regarding the heating - it was quite cold at times in January and required the very inefficient AC heating to be on much of the time. We were charged for the full amount of electricity consumption which was not cheap."

Absolutely amazing villa in its own wooded valley, silent but for the braying donkey next door. Pool and covered veranda particularly special, and swimming in late October not a problem for excited older kids on holiday. We've been to this area for many years, and this has been the best all round villa, amazing for our first Covid pandemic holiday abroad! The private road down is well cared for but very steep, think about this if booking car hire. My comments would be that the smell created by use of the master bathroom shower did reoccur twice (as per others' comments). I think guests would prefer to have more drawers to use in the huge, well stocked kitchen so they can put their own food away. Many drawers are filled with random kitchen utensils and old pots, which need some clearing out! A cafetera should be supplied for guests, but our hosts kindly supplied us with one very quickly when we asked. A lovely family holiday house, thank you!"

The views from this house are breathtaking.The open plan layout of the kitchen and lounge is really great ,and the outside covered terrace is where we spent most of our time.The pool is down quite a few steps but beautifully located and we just took cooler bags for the drinks. Although the property is close to Gaucin it is down a really steep road which snakes along for about 1.5Km. We can imagine during the winter if this road gets wet it could be difficult to negotiate. We had a wonderful stay."

Our best villa holiday yet, beautiful villa, amazing scenery and wonderful service. Will definitely book again"

La casa es muy cómoda y las vistas son inmejorables. La limpieza de la vivienda en general, cajones y utensilios de cocina en particular, son muy deficientes."

We really enjoyed our stay in the property, it is an impressive house set in a beautiful valley with far reaching views. A great place to unwind with family and friends. I have left a rating of Very Good, which puts to one side the maintenance issue which should be addressed urgently: hydrogen sulphide gas comes back up the drains into the house, leaving an unpleasant rotten eggs smell, a warning that you're inhaling a noxious gas - we had the windows open all the time to make it safe."

Lovely site, but maintenance is not what it should be for a luxury property. For example, the outdoor gas grill was very old, with corroded burners that did not fully function. Also, the pool skimmer and vacuum system does not work and needs to be replaced."

Booking service very easy and straight forward. My emails were always answered. Good description of the villa, although its worth mentioning the steps leading to and from the pool, it might not be suitable for older people? Stunning views and swimming pool. Bathrooms of very high standard. One improvement that could be made is the BBQ - it was adequate for a family of 4 but would be a struggle to cook on for a larger group. Also the WiFi kept coming going (I can imagine the connection is poor up in the hills)? This might not be a problem for some people but if having to do some work remotely (and make use of Netflix’s for the kids) it gets a little frustrating. Will definitely use Rustical Travel again. Thank you."

We had a wonderful holiday at RD85. The villa is set in a stunning location. The pool was loved by all members of the family, both young and old. The villa is extremely comfortable and luxurious. The only negatives to a brilliant stay were (a) the drive which is pretty hairy to negotiate and (b) the air conditioning which was a little ineffective and could do with updating. Overall we considered the villa to be 9.5/10"

Dear Carlos and Rustical Travel Team, Generally, we felt our stay was very positive. The house is in a perfect, quiet location and offers a wonderful view. We arrived at the villa in the middle of the night. The next morning, we just said: Wow! The facilities and equipment are excellent. We are also very satisfied with your agency. Our booking was processed quickly and reliably. Thank you for your professional service! For garden design we would suggest additional plants (for example bougainvillea, hibiscus, frangipani …). However, we experienced the caretaker as not very attentive. We would have expected an enquiry if everything is okay, at least a reaction to our mail that we lacked kitchen towels to dry the dishes. On the day of our departure we found it quite disturbing that the caretaker and the cleaning lady arrived half an hour before the specified checkout time. All in all, however, we are very happy with the holiday home.

Beautiful villa, in a beautiful fairly remote, rural setting which lived up to expectations. The setting however did come at the expense of a very steep access road which made travel on foot or bike from the villa (particularly in July) virtually impossible. I was also a little disappointed that there were no paths for walking directly from the villa as described, without having to overcome this steep access road .Villa was very well equipped and tastefully furnished, very comfortable with lovely outside spaces. Couple of minor suggestions for improvement would be an upgrade to all mattresses in all bedrooms and an upgrade of bed linen used. Also air conditioning in top bedroom would be advantageous."
