We where 3 friends staying at this villa for a week during the winter. We used it as our base to travel through the south of Spain. The place was as you see it in the pictures, very clean and comfortable to stay. The BBQ and the pool were a definite plus. The host (Jorge) and his representative onsite (Paco) were very helpful in explaining and promptly answered our questions. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a very quite, relaxing and remote place with all the modern comfort, this is your place. Several things to note: 1. The locations is remote, 20-30 min of driving from any close supermarket or store. You need to plan your trips since it's 10 km slow ride. 2. To reach the location you need to rent a car 3. Driving to this location may seem intimidating for several few times (very narrow road through steep climbs, part of the journey is on dirt road); however, after few times you get used to it. The views are to die for.

The best was + The villa and pool + The hospitality of the host/renter + The area (Malaga, Granda and Sierra Nevada) Only little minus was - The road to the house (no paved)

A second year at Alora Rural, which was fabulous. The house is just perfect with more than you could possibly need for a peaceful and restful break away from everything in the glorious surrounding. Views are amazing but more importantly the accommodation was very well provided with a home from home. The welcome and hospitality of the Mosquera Family was amazing and being invited to share a traditional Spanish lunch and spend time relaxing was great. We even learnt some words. Looking forward to our next visit!

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in Andalusien! Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Bei schönem Wetter konnten wir sogar bis zum Meer schauen. Der Pool und das Bbq-Haus waren klasse! Die Lage in den Bergen ist schön. Wir wurden mit einem leckeren Orangenkuchen empfangen. Ein Nachteil war der schwierige Anfahrtsweg zum Haus. Vom Flughafen aus bis zum Ort "Estacion de cartama" fährt man etwa 15 Minuten. Von dort aus sind es dann noch einmal 25 Minuten über einen beschwerlichen Weg mit großen Schlaglöchern. Leider waren der Kühl- & gefrierschrank sowie die Spülmaschine kaputt. Der Vermieter war aber sehr bemüht, diese Probleme schnell zu beheben. Die Spülmaschine konnten wir aber nicht nutzen. Das Haus liegt allein in den Bergen, es ist recht ruhig. Allerdings liegt es in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens.

We had an adventure in itself finding the location but once there, everything you need for a relaxing stay was available. The finish of the villa was very good and everything was clean and tidy. The views were amazing and the kids (and us parents) loved the pool. We made a late booking and we're accommodated very quickly.
