About this property

Magical house in a fantastic village

Small, delightful, mountain village houses don't get much better than this, and Casa Muñeca which sleeps 3 could not be situated in a more magical place. Located on one of the tangle of old narrow winding streets and lanes that make up the heart of the village, Casa Muñeca is located some midway between the apply named Eagle's Castle (Castillo del Águila) and the village center.

This Gaucín, single story house, cleaned and managed locally, has an abundance of style and immense warmth. Pretty as a picture inside, the house has the distinctive, traditional character of Southern Spain, with terracotta floors, hand-glazed local tiles, soft, relaxing colours and furnishings. For the cooler months an open log fire along with a gas fire and electric heating radiators, combine to give a warm cosy feel. Put simply Casa Muñeca stands out from other Andalucían cottages and combines the spectacular, breathtaking, natural surroundings of this part of inland Andalucía with excellent facilities - the kind of place you'll want to revisit time and time again.

A place where, from the terrace at the rear of Casa Muñeca, it's not unusual to see Eagles soaring overhead. Then looking down over the surrounding countryside towards the coast - over the valley of the Rio Genal, woods of Cork trees and craggy peaks - to see some 50 km distant, Gibraltar and the Mediterranean spread out below like some super sized map and on a clear day you can see beyond Europe over the straits of Gibraltar to Africa and the distant Rift mountains of Morocco.

From the moment that we arrived after driving down from Bilbo’s we new this was going to be amazing
This quaint property offered everything you needed. It was beautiful furnished with breathtaking views off the patio and perfectly positioned. With so many restaurants to choose from and facilities available you were spoilt for choice. Augustina was simply wonderful and available at all times. We had a fantastic time and intend to return next year . We can’t recommend this enough.

Great casa in a lovely village
We had a great time staying in Gaucín. The casa was lovely and had everything we needed and was nice and clean. We enjoyed the views from the balcony and also making use of the fire to stay warm in the evenings. There are lots of nice walks to do close to the village.

Stunning village, perfect space, wonderful host
We loved everything about our stay in Gaucin at Casa Muñeca! The village is a perfect base for exploring the Genal valley area and Southern Spain either by foot or by car. It was lovely and quiet for our off season vacation. Though many shops and restaurants had closed for the season, we were able to easily find everything we needed. The Casa is small and perfectly fit our needs. Evenings were cool, but the electric heaters in the bedroom and bathroom along with the propane wall unit, wood burning fireplace and bed warmer kept us very comfortable. The kitchen is basic but equipped with all we needed to prepare many meals ourselves. We never tired of the amazing view from the terrace. Philip was a helpful and gracious host, quickly answering any questions we had. Having Agustina available locally provided wonderful peace of mind - and thank heavens for google translate and lots of hand gestures! There are wonderful hiking opportunities right from the door. The view from the top of El Hacho is breathtaking. Thank you Philip for sharing this space with us! It was very hard to leave.

A fantastic village house, very nicely done
Gaucin is an enchanting town and this rental is so comfortable and well-equipped. A wonderfully authentic, whitewashed house with a fabulous view! It is nicely decorated with some interesting collection pieces. Spotlessly clean and nicely furnished, it lies in a quiet neighbourhood in a street with no cars, but close to the bars, restaurants and to the shops. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have stayed here and without doubt this was the best property we stayed in during our 5 week trip to Spain. Five stars from us.

Beautiful House in a Stunning Location
This was the second time we had stayed in Casa Muneca in the last 3 years. The house is in the centre of the village in a quiet location. It is clean, comfortable and very nicely furnished. We could see that a number of small improvements had been made which added even more to our very enjoyable stay. There are stunning views towards Gibraltar and Africa from the terrace, sun loungers to sunbath and relax on, the comfortable bed, the various artefacts added even further to the unique character of the house. The village is friendly with many bars and several good restaurants. In the house there were guide books about local walks which we found very useful and a wide selection of DVDs. Agustina who looks after the house was always on hand to answer questions. All in all this house offers all you could possibly want. Highly recommended.
