Beautiful, well appointed casa in a lovely quiet town with spectacular views over the valley below and on a clear day Gibraltar and sea. We never tired of the view.
The casa is tastefully decorated with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Aircon, toaster, microwave, iron, cooker, washing machine and plenty of hot water. 3 large bedrooms with plenty of storage, all of them have patio door access to the slim balcony so you can admire the view from your room. We used to leave the doors open while we were there for the cooling breeze that flows through the casa.
There is a huge bathroom with twin sinks, large mirror with lights.
Large TV in the lounge but no English channels but we did not miss TV at all while there. A vast selection of DVDs if you did want to chill out infront of the TV. Stereo for music kept kids happy.
We had tickets provided for free access to the large town swimming pool which was just a few minutes walk away and spent a few fun times there. It was large and clean with lifeguards on duty. It has a nice well kept area around it to relax.
The location of the casa is on the edge of Gaucin (pronounced Gau 'thin') town so you don't have to navigate the small streets of the town. With parking right outside.
Gaucin is small so very easy to walk into town to the lovely restaurants in the evening. A few good small supermarkets to get essentials if needed. Though large supermarkets are an easy 30 min drive if you want to do a big shop, like we did at the beginning.
The petrol station is a 1 minute drive away.
The people of Gaucin are friendly and we always felt at ease when out and about in town.
The location of Gaucin is ideal to explore Andalusia. We travelled to quite a few places from the casa.
Ronda is an hour relaxing drive away which is a must see.
Gibraltar is only an hour away. We found out afterwards that you can normally take your hire car into Gibraltar. We didn't and it was a hassle with Gibraltar buses.
Cadiz is 1.5 hours and so is Malaga. We regulay drove into Estepona for the beach and dinner.
The host Josefi was an absolute angel. Friendly and efficient. Easily contactable and resolved any issue quickly and with no fuss.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this casa to anyone wanting an authentic Spanish getaway.
