Farmhouse In Privileged Location, with private pool and established gardens.

This 100 year old finca has been recently renovated and tastefully decorated, On the ground floor you all find an open plan fully fitted kitchen, diner, sitting room, a separate smaller lounge with open fireplace, large laundry and store room and toilet. Upstairs there is the master bedroom on suite, single bedroom, 1 family room (with double and single beds), a double bedroom and a surprisingly large family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The double kitchen doors open to a large outside dining area, shaded by vines with spectacular views over the surrounding mountains and valleys to the sea in the distance. Surrounded by a garden with private pool /jacuzzi and many flowers, olive and almond trees. This traditional Spanish house has a very welcoming and warm feel, a peaceful and quiet location with magnificent views and only a short drive from the village of Riogordo with all amenities, shops and regular bus service to Malaga city.

This property is located 30 minutes drive from Malagas historic centre, 60 minutes from Granada and 90 minutes from both Cordoba and Sevilla.
The beach at Torre del Mar, Malaga or Torremolinos are a 30 minutes away and the picturesque resort of Nerja is a 45 minute drive.

What a fantastic 2 week holiday in a beautiful location - exactly what we wanted and all very relaxing! The scenery around the beautiful villa is just breathtaking and the village of RioGordo is charming. The restaurants/tapas bars serve great food and all in easy reach by car as are the beaches and beautiful Malaga old town. Simon and Jeanette are charming hosts, extremely helpful and super friendly. All in all a wonderful stay - we will definitely return! Debbie and Andrew

Such a peaceful spot with beautiful views. The house was great - everything we needed. Swimming pool lovely if perhaps a little small (but big enough for us to play pool volleyball in). Outdoor patios perfect for lounging in the heat and eating outdoors. We had an amazing week.

Fantastic!
This is a beautiful villa in an outstanding location. From the moment we arrived we were bewitched - what an amazing property - hidden in the hills with the most amazing views all round. The villa has been lovingly restored and equipped - I love cooking and it's the first villa where there have been no complaints from me about the cooker or the lack of equipment. We loved the interior- attention to detail with Spanish historical pictures and finds - some of the photos were really intriguing. The garden is lovely and provided us with mulberries - a first for me - and almonds fresh from the tree. Another boon is that despite the heat in Spain the villa remained really cool at night, we didn't even need to use the fans - there was often a lovely cool evening breeze coming in through the windows. All in all a perfect holiday villa - if you want to get away from it all - we barely left the pool - except for visits to Granada, Seville and of course Malaga. Would also add that Simon and Jeanette, the owners, are lovely hosts - hope to meet up with you again some day.

Perfect getaway
We had a wonderful week at Casa Ramon. We had everything we needed and it was perfect for a quiet week away. The views from the property are spectacular and it was so relaxing to just sit and look over the mountains in the early evening. If you can, I would recommend stocking up at one of the larger supermarkets before you get to Riogordo then you can use the local shops to top up. Getting to the coast was not too tricky if you fancy a day out and we spent a couple of hours in Malaga city before our return flight home. Overall, a lovely time.

Amazing location and accommodations
We stayed at Casa Jose Ramon in February during the olive harvest & olive festival near the community of Riogordo. This lovely, updated Spanish farmhouse in a quiet location with breathtaking views had all the amenities you could possibly need. A wood stove and ample supply of wood kept the home warm during the cool evenings along with portable gas heaters for the bedrooms. The home had comfortable beds, updated bathrooms and was tastefully decorated. The terrace was just beautiful and the pool inviting. There was even a pond with coy fish.The view was spectacular and our host, Simon available and attentive. It was the perfect location to explore the Spanish countryside, whether on foot or by car. The town of Riogordo is just over a mile away and has very good bars/restaurants, bakeries and groceries. There is a local market on Wednesdays. One of our favorite shops was a wonderful take away with fresh roasted chicken and a variety of authentic Spanish dishes. We were also impressed with the historical museum in Riogordo which displayed the pressing of olives into oil. The local community was friendly and most spoke English. Looking forward to returning to Casa Jose Ramon.

Relaxing
The farmhouse is very well finished and well maintained.If you want somewhere to get away and relax go here. It is up a very steep hill just make sure you get a decent size hire car if there are several in the car our little fiat 500 made it but only just! The position of the house and pool though are fantastic.if you are looking for sun ,peace and quiet I would highly recommend.We had a lovely relaxing time.

Beautiful setting but cold in the Winter
This place has a triple gold star location - the views are breathtaking. We have stayed in many houses with views in Europe over the years, but this is undoubtedly the best. The house is on a very small plot but the view makes it feel vast. Dont be fooled by the pool pictures, it is really just a puddle with a Jacuzzi (which runs for just 30 seconds before you have to get out and switch it back on!) - not for swimming. Pool lights didnt work. We were here for Christmas so it was too cold anyway, although we tried it! The sea in Scotland is warmer. House is very elegantly decorated and we only had one problem and that was with the heating which if you come at any other time will not be an issue. The owner had not bothered to get the place opened up before we arrived, despite our requests and it took 3 days to warm it up - at over 600m it gets cold as soon as the sun disappears around 4pm and stays cold until 11am. Wood for the fire was stored outside (even though we were told it was all under cover) in bags and the week before they had had torrential rains so we had to collect our own - something we did on our walks so no real hassle but certainly a lack of thought on his part. Local village is friendly and there is very easy access to Malaga (the market is a must), Granada etc . Do book the Alhambra before you go - we assumed that it would be less busy at Christmas but it was fully booked when we got there - their website is a mess. Granada itself is still well worth a visit. All in all we had a lovely time despite the lack of help and the view alone was the worth booking.

Perfect home & view overlooking Riogordo
Well - what can I say - it was perfect in every way. The home felt like we were home and had every amenity anyone could possibly need or want. The 360 degree views over the valley were amazing. The flowers/gardens, the fish pond, fresh mint, limes, rosemary and lavender, the air was clean and fresh. We were able to go to Malaga, Nerja, Ronda, Cordoba and visited the area pueblo blancos. The evenings spent on the porch overlooking the gardens, pool, olive groves and three sisters - superb!!! Highly recommend this stay!

Un séjour très agréable
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans cette maison qui est décorée avec beaucoup de soin et de goût. Le jardin est très joli et bien entretenu, la piscine aussi et c'est un endroit rêvé pour y être avec des enfants. L'endroit est très calme et bénéficie d'une vue magnifique, que nous ne nous lassions pas d'admirer. La localisation de la maison nous a permis d'aller visiter les grandes villes d'Andalousie puis de revenir au calme, dans cette maison. Le propriétaire est très serviable et disponible.

Outstanding!
We have rented many properties all over the world but everyone agreed this was by far the best! The views are breathtaking.. The villa has everything you need and was well furnished. The local Village has all the supplies you could want from 3 or 4 supermarkets and several Butchers and fishmongers. The patio is the perfect place for a BBQ and relaxing with a glass of Rioja! My family loved it and we will be back. The host Simon is a pleasure to deal with and there were no issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend this villa and would give it 6 stars if I could!

Wunderbare und sehr gut ausgestattete Finca mit viel Charme. Alle Zimmer sind ausreichend groß und luftig. Der Panoramablick in die Umgebung ist beeindruckend. Der letzte Kilometer der Zufahrt ist zwar etwas steil und holprig (Schotter) aber machbar. Der Pool ist klein aber fein und verfügt über Beleuchtung und Whirlpool-Funktion. Im nahe gelegenen Riogordo gibt es einige kleine Supermärkte, die alles wesentliche anbieten. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Traumhaft!
Für mich persönlich ein Ort, an dem ich gerne Wurzeln schlagen würde. Das ganze Haus ist so stimmig, dass ich mich direkt heimisch fühlte. Ruhig gelegen mit beständig leicht wehendem Wind wodurch selbst im Juli die Temperaturen gut zu ertragen sind. Perfekt ergänzt wird alles durch die Besitzer. Sich diskret im Hintergrund haltend und doch mit Rat und Tat sofort zur Stelle wenn nötig. Als Hinweis : Wenn man nicht gut zu Fuß ist, ist ein Fahrzeug definitiv nötig. Für mich persönlich aber kein Negativ- Argument. Jeanette und Simon wünsche ich alles Gute, wir sehen uns wieder!

Nos hemos alojado en la casa 15 dias este agosto, y hemos disfrutado de una estancia increíble. La casa es espectacular, con unas vistas que de las que no te cansas nunca. Esta perfectamente equipada, como si estuvieras en tu propia casa, y extremadamente limpia. Los dueños encantadores siempre dispuestos a ayudarnos con cualquier duda, darnos indicaciones y hacernos sentir como en nuestra propia casa. Sin duda la recomiendo y me encantaría repetir.

Heaven in Andalucía !
I’m very picky when it comes to houses I rent. This house was definitely one of the most beautiful I had the opportunity to stay in. The house itself is beautiful, It Is so comfortable, nicely decorated and warm... You’ll feel at home. The views are just breathtaking, you could spend a day just looking at the landscape. I’ve spent a couple of weeks and I must say it has been one of the best in the past few years. I’ve slept like a baby and woken up every morning to views I’m still dreaming of ! The terrace and swimming pool area are perfectly equipped for you to relax and enjoy the sun and the breeze. We had some friends coming over for a few days and their only wish was they could stay longer in this peaceful and beautiful location.
