Beautiful villa, in the hills of Andalucía

This is such a lovely villa, situated in the hills of Andalucía, 20 minute drive from Motril. The roads are winding, and the villa is literally situated at the top of the hill. It's very quiet, apart from the cicadas, and the views are just fantastic. You can just about see the sea in one direction, with views of the hills in all directions.We spent a cracking two weeks, lazing by the pool. The villa is well appointed, lovely ensuite and the kitchen is perfect.We will be returning.

Breathtaking View and Experience

Aside from some technical issues, the house offers a complete immersion into local life and the landscape's magnificence. The house is comfortable, lovelingly decored in a modern yet simple moorish style.Ideal for relaxation, hiking and discovering the powerful energies of the Guajares.We loved it!

Lovely property and views

Overall a brilliant stay at El Refugio. The owner, Ron, was always quick to reply and help with any queries we had, which made check in smooth. The views from the house are simply breathtaking, there are no pictures that can do them justice! There is plenty of comfy outside seating to take the views in too, which was great. The swimming pool was large and clean, with a pool cleaner coming once a week as well. Only problem with the pool is the amount of insects attracted to it, but that comes with being in a rural area. The house itself was clean, spacious and had everything you needed to cook and clean. There were also books and board games available. The only downside with the property is there is no air conditioning, which is usual for Spanish houses but for guests staying in the summer the fans available weren't much help against the heat in the evening, which made sleeping difficult. The local village has a great bar, small shop and bakery, so the essentials were close by. But a car is definitely needed for this property. El Refugio is the perfect place if you want peace and quiet (not in Fiesta times 🔊) and to escape for a bit. We would most likely visit again in the cooler months if no air conditioning is installed. Thanks to Ron for a lovely stay.
