The cottage is open plan with high vaulted ceilings and is modern and light. There are 2 terraces, one of which is covered with comfortable seating and a dining area.

Around the Finca there are amazing views of the Sierras and the breathtaking sunsets that sillouette the olive trees perched high up on the sierras. At night it is a stargazers paradise and with little light pollution the milky way lights the sky. The Finca is set in the Natural Park of Los Alcornocales (The Cork Forest) and has areas of woodland with wild olives and towering cork trees that are from the oak tree family. There is a gate that leads to the river where there are walks from gentle strolls to exploring the breathtaking scenery. 100 metres from the house are great bathing areas in the river pools with views of Jimena's Moorish Caslte. In May and June the river is a garden of Pink Oleanda and these months have fantastic wild flowers that spring up.
You are unlikely not to see the eagles and many different birds that frequent the Natural Park as well as the many different animals that live along side us in this protected habitat.
The finca is very private but only a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to Jimena that has many restaurants and bars where you can sample the local cuisine of Iberico ham to the fruits of seafood from the Med. There are supermarkets and Banks as well as a medical centre just in case but many of the little shops sell the fruit and vegetables cultivated by the locals in their vegetable gardens.The Andalucian people are incredibly helpful and friendly. There is a festival in May marking the Andalucian history with horses. In July their is a music festival with Flamenco and world music and In Mid August is the main Summer Feria that goes on for 3 days
During your stay there is a member of staff, Jose Luis, that will ensure that the pool and gardens are maintained as well as cleaning the terraces.
Naturally he will be discrete and fit in with your wishes.

Summary: We had a lovely 10 day stay at Duncan’s cottage. The kids loved it. The pool is perfect; it was too hot to do much else. The little town nearby is great with all the shops and restaurants you’ll need. The cottage itself is great and has everything you need and Duncan is a perfect host.

Summary:   A perfectly appointed, charming, peaceful, well equipped little cottage (it’s quite cosy for a growing family – you’d better all get on!) with fabulous amenities — even a sharp kitchen knife and a blender — and a kind, respectful and responsive host. The location is good for those wishing to be close to a village yet rural. The village itself makes for a delightful, if hilly!, paseo of an evening through pretty, winding streets and has a few lovely restaurants, but is not very lively in late August and you need to be there after 7-8pm to really get a sense of local life. There are two decent supermarkets but for a big hypermarket you’ll have to travel 45mins+. The castle at the top is the only real landmark there and provides a great view of the landscape. You can’t quite see Africa, but the coastal wind farms are visible. We took a couple of day trips: to Ronda (5*, highly recommended), 1.5hrs away, and to Tarifa (worth it), 1hr 10 mins away. Both made for very pleasant diversions. The pool and tennis court area is not right next the the house but a steep climb up the hill (approx 60m away) which put me off at first but in the end did not matter. If you have small children it may be tricky having to clamber between house and pool for trips to the loo and forgotten sunglasses etc, but with older kids (aged 9-13) whom it was safe to leave in the pool alone, it did not bother us. Also, there is a fridge and a rudimentary kitchen unit up by the pool so we were able to store drinks and snacks up there which significantly reduced the number of trips needed to the house. Top features in my view: * the aircon in bedrooms * the large and perfect-temperature pool * the pool-side fridge * pool-side basic kitchen set up (cupboard with utensils, sink, bin and cups) * BEAUTIFUL handmade poolside dining table * fantastic, handbuilt barbecue * charmingly wonky tennis court and tennis equipment * vastly superior pillows and comfy sofas * excellent WiFi * vultures n eagles soaring overhead * ping pong table * and especially the generous household supplies — plentiful soft towels, loo paper, and even emergency sun cream — including a lovely welcome pack of food and beer left by the host! * Special mention for the nearby river @5mins’ walk, a haven for tiny frogs and kids who like to catch them. ‘Going frogging’ became our go-to afternoon diversion. We were genuinely sorry to leave. Absolutely worth every star!

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Jimena de la frontera, not only because it is such an absolutely amazing place for vacation, but also because Duncan as a host was just super nice, helpful and accommodating. The house and the property were exactly as in the advertisement and we lacked nothing. We'd love to come back sometime.

Summary: We loved our time in the cottage. Duncan was a superb host and looked after us so well. The welcome hamper was much appreciated as we arrived late. It was everything it said on the website. Walks were beautiful along the river. Steep hill to get to the pool area though!

Summary: This was a truly fabulous break away from it all. The facilites, especially the pool and tennis court were brilliant. The river walks on our doorstep were wonderful. We felt perfectly cocooned away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Duncan was a kind and affable host, who made us all feel extremely welcome. A very highly recommended rural retreat for those wishing to escape the stresses of the modern world.

Summary: A great cottage set in beautiful surrounds. Rustic in feel and no AC, but very comfortable and with everything we needed (pool, tennis, walks, wifi, tv, baby cot etc). We had a great stay and Duncan was really helpful throughout.

Summary: The house and the landscape are beautiful. Ideal for hiking, enjoying nature and the large pool. You can get away from it all whilst there is also a very good WiFi connection if you want to re-connect. Duncan is a great host and was always available if we had any questions.
