About the home
Totally refurbished to a very high standard Cortijo Cuscurro, which was formerly the local bakery for the local hamlet, has a truly traditional Spanish feel, yet provides total and utter luxury. Set in an amazing yet unspoilt part of Andalucia with the most amazing breathtaking views of the mountains and up to the moorish mountain top village of Comares.
There are 5 very large and airy bedrooms along with the option of a 6th bedroom if necessary, by using the second lounge in the cottage.
Only 5 minutes to the white washed villages of Riogordo and Comares, yet only 20 minutes the coast, the farmhouse is ideal for those seeking privacy, tranquility and relaxation. Guests have exclusive use of both the farmhouse and the cottage, making this retreat an ideal base for groups and familes alike.
Cortijo Cuscurro lies amongst olive groves with mature gardens with colourful shrubs, trees, palms and an unusually shaped chlorine free pool ( Saline) along with hot tub jacuzzi. At the bottom of the land is a stream and makes an ideal get away with a good book or a glass of wine.
The Cortijo is much more than a rental, we have reformed this stunning Famhouse and cottage as our home over a 10 year period and the facilities, furnishings and equipment provided, reflect just this.

Going up from Torre del Mar into the mountains you will reach Lake Viñuela, a man-made reservoir surrounded by mountains, not only providing the area with water but also forming a spectacular and harmonic part of attraction of this unique and scenic landscape. here you will find several bars/restaurants offering fantastic food.
Heading inland from here you will reach the charming village of Riogordo, nestled into this stunning countryside with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Riogordo translates to Fat River, which is what the village is know for. . Torre del Mar with beaches and all facilities is 20 min away.
The Riogordo area
The pretty whitewashed village of Riogordo lies in the region of Axarquia. This small and unspoilt area of Andalucia –to the north east of Malaga - is still a well kept secret. Untouched by mass tourism, and surrounded by National Parks it is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty between the Sea and Sierras.
The village offers very resonable local restaurants and excellent shopping facilities. Only 20 minutes to the Mediterranean coast, and 40 minutes to Malaga international airport. Due to good motorway connections, Granada and Antequera can be reached in 1 hour, Cordoba and Seville in 2 hours. Lake Vinuela is 10 mins by car.
The village of Riogordo is five minutes away by car where most grocery items may be purchased as well as freshly baked bread. Fresh fish, four butcher's and two banks. Wednesday there is a street market. There is a good choice of local restaurants and bars near by, as well as dozens to choose from at the coast, catering for all tastes. 24 hour medical centre in nearby Colmenar.

My holiday here at this truly amazing Cortijo was fantastic. We have never ever had so much space, with lots of private areas to escape to. the Courtyard, WOW. The pool, WOW and the Jacuzzi WOW. We are planning a return visit for my husbands 50th next years, so what does that say.

Great Hols in Riogordo

Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Have returned from a great stay at this fantastic farmhouse near Riogordo. We had the most amazing facilities, more than we have ever had before. Like being at home, but in the Sun!! We had everything you could have asked for, so were able to cook great meals. The outside courtyard was where we spent most of the time, whilst watching the kids in the pool. Nights were great in the hot tub too. The owners were local if we needed anything and were so helpful on where we could visit and eat out. Great place for large group holidays or for families like us. There were 14 of us and we still did not get in each others way.!! Which helps. The local area was charming and we had several days at the coast, which we loved.
Thanks Lisa and Julian.

We visited the property featured in Summer 2008. We were two families and can highly recommend this Farmhouse and Cottage. We had plenty of space to call our own, yet had the most fantastic views, swimming pool and the Spa was a plus for the children. Day and night entertainment. The Kitchen is outstanding and the lounge well WOW. Great all round for a stunning base yet easy for us to see the area. Thanks guys
