Casita Galgo - Tranquility & Peace in the Historical Heart of Andalusia

Our smallest casita (meaning" Little Greyhound House") provides spacious, airy accommodation. Casita Galgo is an "upsidedown" cottage, with the ensuite
twin/large double bedroom downstairs, opening onto the private courtyard.

The open plan sitting room and fully equipped kitchen are upstairs, reached via an outside staircase - which takes advantage of the wonderful views down the valley. There is a full sized electric oven/ hob plus a fridge with a freezer compartment - essential for cooling the local beer and wine! A good range of plates, pots, glasses etc. allow for home from home, relaxed food preparation. Basics (such as salt, pepper, oil, washing up liquid etc.) are provided as part of our service. There is a kitchen table to seat four for dining.

The private courtyard has a table and chairs for eating outside as well as a barbecue which is built into the chimney from the Cortijo's old outside kitchen and bread oven.

The communal patio and pool area is shared by a maximum of 10 guests and is set on the side of the hill facing fantastic views of the valley, hills and olive groves. There are tables and chairs provided for eating, or sitting with a cool drink and watching the sun set…… There are also cushioned loungers for sun worshippers! The pool is set on the edge of the patio and has a comfortable seating ledge in the water, giving you somewhere to sit and keep cool whilst you read or just gaze at the view…..
There is an outside shower room with toilet and basin so that you do not have to return to your casita once ensconced in the sunshine.

There is also a laundry room accessed from the pool patio area, with a washing machine, wash basin, iron and ironing board for communal use.

An hour and a half from the airports of Malaga and Granada, the secluded setting of Cortijo las Rosas, amidst tranquil olive groves, gives guests a chance to chill out and relax around the pool between days out visiting historic and cultural centres within easy reach: Antequera, Alcala la Real, Cordoba, Granada, Malaga, Ronda, Seville etc...

Taste the oil produced from the renowned olives of the Subbetica; enjoy the local wines from Montilla or the Anis produced in nearby Rute; barbecue the plentiful fish and seafood available or let us organise a takeaway from nearby Molino los Justos with its traditional “home cooking.” Our local town, Algarinejo, boasts the restaurant Casa Piolas which features in Jon Clarke’s “Dining Secrets of Andalucía” – their Menu de Degustación is an experience not to be missed!

Nearby Lake Iznajar offers a beach with pedalos and kayaks for hire with a beach bar on hand for cool drinks or eating. Walkers have the freedom to explore the countryside of the Subbetica right from their doorstep - or to walk amongst the extraordinary rock formations of El Torcal. El Chorro Gorge offers the adventurous a chance to experience the spectacular Camino del Rey or to trek around our local “mesa” overlooking the lake, and examine the archaeological dig carried out by the University of Granada – you might have to share the view with the goatherd and his goats...

Allow Cortijo las Rosas to help you unwind, enjoy an unspoilt Andalucía and guide you to its historic treasures.

Peace and quiet in the hills of Andalucia
The accommodation was beautiful, just the rural Spain retreat we were after! From the welcome pack to all the extras available such as umbrellas, eskies and ice bricks to pack a picnic, pool towels, charcoal bbq, whatever you might need for a perfect holiday. Our hosts were super welcoming and loaded with local knowledge. We didn’t want to leave

An Oasis of Calm and Tranquility
The casita was very clean, well furnished and comprehensively equipped in the kitchen. The view from the pool was fantastic and we were well placed for day trips to Granada, Malaga, Cordoba and Ronda, never mind the other small jewels /villages in the area. We will return for another holiday in the future

Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen
Casita Galgo mit viel Charme und Liebe eingerichtet. Betreut wurden von unseren charmanten und aufmerksamen Gastgebern Marylynne und Gillian. Ruhig mit toller Aussicht inmitten von Olivenbäumen gelegen. Ideal für Ausflüge nach Granada, Cordoba, Malaga, Ronda und die nahe Sierras Subbéticas. Oder auch nur zum Auspannen am Pool mit phantastischem Ausblick. Gerne wieder Kerstin und Thomas
