Casa Rural Los Algarrobales

man braucht ein Auto um die Bungalow zu erreichen. Der Weg dorthin ist sehr mühsam. wenn man einen Bungalow hat , sollte man die Lebensmittel schon mit haben , dann muss man nicht nochmal zurück nach El Gastor zu einkaufen . Die Bungalow liegen sehr ruhig mit einer tollen Aussicht . Es gibt einen Pool . Man sollte vorher anrufen, da es verschiedene Arten von Bungalows gibt ,die sich über die gesamte Ranch verteilen . Es kommt dann jemand und bringt einen zu dem gebuchten Bungalow. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und wir haben uns sehr wohlgefüllt. Wir hatten ein kleines kind dabei und es wurde sofort ein Kinderbett und ein Kinderstuhl gebracht.

We loved every second in this holiday home. The house is located together with 3 other small houses uphill and and secluded from the other parts of casa rurales. The place is approx. 3 km from the small town of El Gastor at the end of a rough gravel road. The area is primarily dominated by nature and a bit of farming. We where given detailed driving instructions which was a nice help and better than our GPS :-) The small house consists of one large room with bed, living space and kitchen in 3 sections and a bathroom. Most importantly it has its own private terrasse/patio with splendid views over the mountains and the pool. The pool is shared between the 4 small houses which gave our 5-year old plenty of time to play. The location is perfect for rest and relaxation but is also a good starting point for drives to Ronda (30 km) and the beautiful white villages (fx Zahara, Grazalema and Olvera). The drive from Malaga Airport is less than 2 hours.

The room itself was nothing to get excited about, and could have been cleaner for sure. But the view makes up for that in spades! It was incredible. The road to the place is scary, and our gps didn't even know how to find it, but worth the stress of driving up there! The little village below is great fun too.

Staying in Casas Rurales was one of my most charming travel experiences. The private house was decorated in whitewashed cream furniture, had rounded soaring ceilings, walls painted a beautiful blue and cream, and reddish purple accents. I was in heaven. I had my own private patio and locking gate. The view was spectacular........hills, trees, luscious plants and blue skies. The houses are located next to the immaculate white hill town of El Gastor. There you can find restaurants, town square, lovely church, museum, and charm at every turn of the winding streets. It is also a short drive to the Pileta Cave which has Paleolithic drawings.

We loved this place. It was very remote and had beautiful views. The only downside was that it is 33km from Ronda and that the air con in the room didn't work very well, so we were trying to sleep in 30 degrees. Otherwise a lovely place.
