20% late-availability discount in October at this stunning mountain hideaway

Dar Hajra, which has featured in many interior design magazines and travel features, is hidden away in a forest above the undiscovered ‘white village’ of Montecorto, close to Ronda with an amazing infinity-edge plunge pool.

In High Season from March to October the property is only rented on a weekly basis with all rentals beginning and ending on Saturdays. From November through to February 5 night stays are accepted.

From the villa’s amazing terrace - this is the highest house in the village - you're treated to stunning views of the Grazalema mountains. A path flanked by rosemary, lavender and honeysuckle climbs up to the house: it looks traditional enough from the outside but within, a big surprise awaits. The mountain has been wrapped into the fabric of the building with the rock adds a stunning decorative element: Dar Hajra means ‘House of the Rocks’.

A pyramidal atrium is the visual axis around which the open-plan lounge/diner turns. Three huge windows lead to the terrace and infinity-edge plunge pool whose waters seem to merge with the sky. The sitting room, kitchen/diner and study are one huge open space, there's a large master bedroom, extraordinary bathroom and hundreds of books, CDs and paintings. Upstairs is a second bedroom, perched like an eagle's nest on the third floor of the house. It has both north and south facing windows which catch the summer breezes, a great spot for a siesta-with-a-view.

The house has a fast, optic fibre wifi connection and an iMac computer. There's an Android tv with a sound bar with Netfilx, Youtube etc.

A discrete housekeeper cleans and tidies every day (unless you prefer her not to come in). In house-catering can normally be organised given prior warning.

Dar Hajra is no ordinary rental property.
From the moment you step in and see the views out through the triple run of huge windows you'll be happy that you've chosen this very special home. There are hundreds of CDs and books (the owner is a well-known writer on Andalucía), a huge collection of DVDs whilst the views from the open plan kitchen are also unforgettable.

This is one of Andalusia's most spectacular holiday lets, and we take great care to give guests really detailed information about how to get the very best out of the area.
I've written extensively about Andalucía and you will find copies of my walking guides at the house, including 'The Mountains of Ronda & Grazalema' (Cicerone Books) which can lead you to the best walks in the surrounding mountains.

Foodies will also benefit from our bar and restaurant listings which can help make your stay a great culinary experience, too. And we are on hand 24/7 to help you get the very most out of your stay in this beautiful part of Andalucía.

A unique experience
This is a marvellous house. It's stylish and homely . Full of great books art and furniture. The position overlooking the valley is stunning we loved the terrace and pool. Our only reservation is the bath room is difficult. Taps are out of reach the bath is HUGH and there are big black ants everywhere. It was a unique experience to visit DarHaji we loved it.

Great location. Spectacular views.
Enjoyed a quiet break away with my wife. The house is tucked away in an idyllic and commanding spot on the edge of the village and did not disappoint.

Quriky house in an excellent location
As you can see from the photos the house is very quirky, with its outcrops of rock, but is pleasant and well-appointed. The view from the terrace, which gets the sun from mid morning onwards, is amazing. The outside space is quite small but fine for two people. The second (small) bedroom is two flights of stairs away from the only bathroom. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped and there are loads of books in the house. The owner sends detailed and helpful instructions - print them out before you come as there are no copies in the house, and some of them are a bit out of date. The bedroom is fine, albeit a little dank on cool days. The cleaner comes at during the day between 11am and 2pm and stays for about 15 minutes. The owner is very helpful and deals with any questions or requests very quickly and efficiently. The location is brilliant - 10 minutes walk from the centre of the village where there are shops, bars, a basic restaurant and a bakery. The final bit of the drive is up a steep,gravel track.

Stunning Views
We have just returned from a week at Dar Hajra and as soon as we arrived we knew we were in for a special treat. This property really is a hideaway, perched right at the top of a friendly village where doing your daily shop is a pleasure. However, the highlight for us was the amazing terrace where, because of the delightful weather, we spent most of our time. This was equipped with a dining table and comfortable chairs, sun loungers and settee and armchairs all alongside a delightful infinity plunge pool for cooling down on hot, balmy days. However, the real attraction was the absolutely stunning views of the surrounding countryside, not only from the terrace but every area of the house. Inside the rooms have been designed around the natural rocky landscape. Our favourite features were the large bath incorporated into the rocks and the views we could see when sitting up in bed. We spent very little time inside the house, but enjoyed preparing meals in the large and well-equipped kitchen. Our daily visit from Paqui was a treat, not only did she make our beds and tidy up but was willing and patient as we practised our rather rusty Spanish. For those who wish for a flavour of local life in a beautiful setting, this would be hard to beat.
