Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the villa and really made the most of it as the wet weather meant we had to stay in at times. We had beautiful views of the stunning mountain that we both hiked and climbed. We were warm and comfortable with plenty of firewood. The kitchen is super well equipped and it allowed for cooking for many people. The shop was about 15min drive in a near by village. There is enough communal space to spend time together as well as having time in our own rooms. The views and vegetation are magical. Would definitely come back! Thank you to our wonderful hosts for being very communicative and helpful!

Summary: The beauty of the setting and the property itself is stunning. The owners have worked to provide a gorgeous setting with a lot of room and a stand-out decor. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well-appointed and the views are simply gorgeous. The owner greeted us personally and made sure that we knew just where we were going and where we could obtain provisions and go out to eat. That was a very nice feature. To be sure, those who are lucky enough to stay at this property should be prepared to enjoy "the joy of self-catering" (quote from Colin) and that is certainly reasonable. As such, travelers should expect to provide some of what otherwise might be included in other places they've stayed (example: laundry detergent, paper towels, garbage bags, extra toilet paper). That was easy for us to manage and did not detract one bit from the pleasure of our stay. I've stayed in many countries at many properties and I would rank this as one of the lovliest. .

Summary: We stayed at Majada alta for 2 weeks with 1 teenager and a 4y.o and we absolutely LOVED it! Every aspect/window of the cottage has an absolutely stunning view. We were frequently visited by the wild mountain goats whenever they needed a drink from the pool - it was such a wholesome experience. The pool was a lifesaver in the intense Andalucia summer heat! Large size and regularly cleaned and maintained. The cottage was fully equipped with pretty much everything you need. A/C worked really well in the rooms (thank the heavens!) and local village has all the essentials we needed. The roads in the village and leading up to the cottage are not for the faint-hearted especially if you haven't driven on those roads before - so just drive slow at first but you soon get used to it. Caminito del rey is just a 10min drive away and lots of other villages nearby to drive to and appreciate the views of the stunning local landscape.. Colin and Francesca were brilliant hosts, from prompt replies and being on hand for any advice we needed and even took the time to show us around- such lovely people! Definitely a memorable experience for us, and would love to come back again one day. Massive thanks to Colin and Francesca. What a magical place this is!

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay. The home is more rustic but was perfect for the two of us. We loved the location. Do your grocery shopping before arrival and then just unplug. There’s plenty of hiking in the area, but we spent our time reading and playing card games. It turned into one of the more relaxing trips we’ve been on. The pool and view is unparalleled. We saw an ibex and watched the goat herders behind the property. Absolutely idyllic.

Summary: This is the third time we have stayed at this beautiful property. Two times in the summer and once in the winter and all three were wonderful. It is a beautiful large house with a well equipped big kitchen and two large bathrooms and three bedrooms. The swimming pool is great and there are beautiful areas to sit outside on the large property. We especially love the mountain that the house is at the foot of. It is a special place. It is also very close to the Caminito Del Rey walking trail which is the reason why we came here the first time. We hope to come again again. Colin the host is always available and very helpful.

Summary: What a charming cottage in a wonderful environment! We had a superb time. Colin and Francesca are great hosts, caring and making sure we felt comfortable at any time. We came to El Chorro for rock climbing and could explore the cliff right above the house!
