I was there with my two-year old son. It was quite a long trip because we travelled from Poland, but I think we couldn't choose a better place for our holidays! The place is beautiful - a lot of green, quiet area, well maintained swimming pool, cozy house where you can feel like home and, what's important, wonderful hosts! At the same time there also stayed a group of friends, a large family with children,some couple and I think we all had a really great time! |

Great place! – the essence of Andalusia! I just fell in love with the village from the very first step. Beautiful, peaceful, quiet and “energetic” village, excellent view. My needs and stay Being quite tired in my “corpo-job”..., I wanted to have a kind of retreat holiday where I could rest, “reload the batteries” and come back to shape with overwhelmed mind. Yet it was supposed to be a good place for attractions both for my small and teenage children – 4 kids altogether, who wanted to have “holiday kid's attractions” It worked just great! We got everything we wanted in a “perfect edition”; peace and attractions for kids both in the Castillejos Village and nearby area. Not to mention the one-day trips to the great Andalusian towns (eg. Rondo, Granada), wild beaches, and mountains (Sierra Nevada - Mulhacen). Service and accommodation The owner – great personality. Very helpful in every aspect I needed, responsive, inspiring and... great cook. I'll never forget the taste of “pizza party” organized by himself in the middle of the street in the village for all visitors. He has a traditional brick pizza oven - where he himself and I don't know how – prepares one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever had in my life. We stayed in an traditional, comfortable, beautifully finished and decorated Andalusian house – I like the style very much! Plans Very simple – I want to go there once again, and my kids too… |
