SCHÖNE, LUXUSVILLA & PRIVATER POOLBLICK, ORGANIC OLIVE GROVE RONDA 5Km

Thanks for your great review, we picked the house for its location, wonderfully tranquil yet close to Ronda. If you want to book next year we are keeping 2019 prices until the end of August.

Thanks so much, you are welcome back any time, maybe next time you will stay for longer!

Lovely guests, thanks for the tip top review Marian, we would be very happy to welcome you back to El Olivar.

Thanks for your lovely review. You are welcome back any time!

Thanks for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you for choosing El Olivar. We always like to hear that guests have been able to completely unwind. The area is stunningly beautiful and helps to create a feeling of complete tranquility and relaxation. Lovely to hear that you appreciated the design and luxury details too. We would be very happy to welcome you back!

Thanks for your review, so nice to hear you had such a great time. It is a great spot, we never tire of the views. You would be welcome back anytime.

Thanks so much for your kind words, that spot by the front door is my favourite too (apart from sunset when I favour the west terrace). I am glad you liked the guidebook (I get my leg pulled about the level of detail!) its always nice when someone appreciate the lengths you have gone to to make a stay the best possible experience. Thank you for choosing El Olivar, you are welcome back any time.

Thank you so much for your great feedback. So good to hear that guests from 5-70+ enjoyed their stay! It’s lovely that you appreciated the place so much. There is something magical about the valley, Llano de las Cruz, we fell in love with it. We have a great team working with us both inside the house and keeping the garden and pool up to scratch, we could not do without them. We know how bewitching this area is- we will happily welcome you back any time!

I will write my response and let guests decide for themselves. The house is decorated every year and maintained to a very high standard but we have been full since February so it’s due to be decorated in June. The road to the house is a typical Spanish road in the countryside, it is cracked at times and is part tarmac, part concrete (not a dirt road) these guests preferred the Costa, and left early to stay down on the coast. Our house is rural and peaceful and not suited to those who prefer the Costa. The house has been lovingly restored using lots of natural materials which move and crack and do need constant attention. This house is not a soulless apartment but a house of character and homeliness which we have kitted out to our taste and not perhaps to this guest’s. The villa has been let all year from early February with no complaints. We visited the house straight after this guest left to see if any of her claims were true. They were wildly exaggerated or untrue. The house does not smell at all. We love our Spanish home and have 7 years of excellent reviews on here and other platforms. The previous guests sent us a photo to say thank you for such a good stay and loved the place. We last visited six months ago (where she got the idea we haven’t visited in a year I have no idea). Some folk live to pick fault in your efforts and some enjoy the joys life brings. We look forward to welcoming our next guests and won’t let one bad experience spoil our years of great hosting experience. The reason no one met these guests was because they were arriving midweek and this was fully explained to them but they did not seem to listen. They gave a number they weren’t using and were quite difficult to communicate with. Our Property Manager arrived the following day to check all was well. The guest had rearranged all kinds of things in the house which I have had to find and put back in the right place. We have had many lovely reviews and lots of returning guests I am not sure what happened with these guests when previous guests have been so happy, perhaps it wasn’t quite what they were looking for. If you value privacy, peace and quiet, character and a total escape away from it all then El Olivar will suit you down to the ground.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback and for taking the plunge despite quarantine rules. You are right, if you want to be cut off from it all the house does afford that luxury and seeing Ronda minus the tourists must be fab! It has been almost a year since we have been able to stay at the house and I was quite jealous of your time there.

Thanks very much for your kind review, if you liked it in January you will LOVE it in the spring when the flowers are everywhere and the migratory birds return. We would be very happy to welcome you back.

Thanks for your lovely comments. You are exactly right about the location. We have had too many family holidays where the drive into the local town is too far and we have spent too much of our precious holiday time in the car. So we looked for a place that was close to Ronda but sat in its own little sanctuary of tranquility, where the only traffic is the occasional passing car or horse and cart, where the birds are plentiful and all there is nothing to interrupt your peace and quiet. So glad you appreciated the little haven we have found, we will gladly have you back anytime.

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you had a nice stay, the location is fabulous, we are so lucky, it’s so tranquil. We tried to create a homely feel, it’s a shame when you stay somewhere nice but it’s so obviously a holiday home, and we wanted our guests to feel at ease and relax straight away. We would love to have you back, perhaps when it’s a bit warmer? Thank you for booking with us

Bedankt dat je de tijd hebt genomen om een ​​review te schrijven. We zijn blij dat je het huis mooi en goed ingericht hebt gevonden, maar het spijt me te horen dat je het luidruchtig vond. We vinden het nooit lawaaierig bij kinderen, misschien hangt het van de kinderen af. Wat betreft de verwerking van afval, hebben we drie grote afvalbakken, twee kleine afvalbakken onder de gootsteen en een grote vuilnisbak, en kleine afvalbakken in elke badkamer, maar u moet uw afval naar de afvalbakken brengen zoals gebruikelijk in Spanje en duidelijk uitgelegd in het gastenhandboek.

Thank you for your review, we try to ensure that all our guests have a fabulous stay by taking care of the big picture and all the little details. It is such a fantastic area with so much to do, we consider ourselves very lucky to be able to keep coming back!

Thank you for your kind words and it’s lovely to hear you had such a great time. When we chose the house we were looking for something peaceful, in a beautiful, rural location but not remote and El Olivar ticked all the boxes. Waking up to the view of those mountains is just fabulous. You are very welcome to come back any time.

Thank you for the lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed the house so much - it is perfect for families. If you ever wish to return in the summer holidays you need to book way in advance ;)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know you were not able to stay for long so perhaps you will come again some other time and stay for longer? The outside spaces are indeed the best, especially in summer and maybe you will get the chance to experience this one day. The immediate local area is beautiful and definitely worth exploring. Glad you liked my guestbook, I get laughed at by my family for being so detailed ; ) The spot by the front door is my favourite too.
