Loathe to tell others about this property in desperation to keep it a secret, I am torn as the property and its owner deserve a candid review.
We stayed in August 2018, having visited the area in May looking for our own property,
If you are looking for walks to restaurants and human life within walking distance, this isn't the place for you, so read no further.
If you are looking for tranquillity, space, peace and magnificent views, pure relaxation - then this is the place to be.
The property adequately houses 10 people in 5 bedrooms. There are 2 master suites (one in the house and one accessed through the courtyard) double and single beds. Two families could stay here without getting under each other's feet.
There is a large terrace on the first floor and even though we were there for a week, we had no reason to use it as did not move from the glorious pool area.
The outside kitchen was well equipped and the fridge handy for ease of access to drinks.
The pool beds were the best we've used and the area clean and well maintained.
The inside space of the house is immense with a great area for the kids watching DVDs (or playing the wii) with a comfortable sofa area looking out onto rolling hills and olive groves. There is also an external fitness room with rowing machine, weights, bike and a pool table.
The beds were comfortable and little touches like toiletries and even laundry baskets, made a difference.
We stopped at the Supermarket on the way and did a huge shop to last 4 days and went back on the 4th day to stock up again. You need to think about what you need as you can't pop out to a shop. (Think kitchen roll, toilet rolls etc.) Depending on previous guests you won't always know what is at the property (we left a lot).
Although we didn't visit anywhere in our week at this house, we have previously. Iznajar is very pretty and Granada is stunning. You are an hour and a half from Malaga (nearer Granada) so there is plenty to do if you are happy to drive.
Take insect repellent / plug ins in the Summer months as we were bitten to bits, but a small price to pay for such an amazing time.
The owner responded to questions promptly and gave comprehensive information, a pleasure to deal with.
We will definitely return - and if we move we will recommend this house to our visitors.
