About this property

Family friendly villa, private pool and barbecue, 10 min drive from Ronda

El Cobijo:

El Cobijo is a beautiful modern villa built in traditional Andalusian style on a sloping olive grove of approximately 3 acres. The villa’s main level is built around an open patio with fountain, around which one has access to the living room with fireplace, a terrace with beautiful views of the sierra and Ronda, the dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a lavatory, and a guest room with bathroom. A hall way on an intermediate level provides access to two additional bedrooms each with bathroom. The bright, master bedroom is located upstairs with a large bathroom and private roof terrace with lovely views. An additional bedroom which doubles as the TV and game room with sitting area and a bathroom is on the villa's lower level. There's also a utility room for 2 washers, 2 dryers, and additional refrigerator. The salt water swimming pool is surrounded by a large sun terrace with a shower house and a roofed, poolside bar with BBQ with additional garden table and chairs.

Visiting Ronda:

Ronda is a beautiful, historic Andalusian city. It is a perfect destination to stroll through the narrow streets of its ancient historic city center with its centuries old, iconic bridge over a 100 m deep gorge that divides the old and the newer parts of the city and with the famous, and also oldest bull fighting arena in Spain. Ronda is located in midst of the scenic Serranía of Ronda dotted by the picturesque, white Andalusian villages such as Gaucín, Grazalema, and Zahara, an ideal region for sight seeing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and sail gliding.

Golfing and general tourist attractions:

The property is surrounded by over 30 of Spain's finest golf courses on the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz many of which are reachable in less than 50 minutes by car. Some of Europe's most important cultural cities such as Córdoba, Granada, and Sevilla can easily be reached for enjoyable and extraordinary sight seeing excursions. These cities offer historic sights of incomparable beauty as well as an opportunity to meander through charming, narrow streets, and visit fine Andalusian shops, tapas bars and restaurants. In addition, one can drive through Spain's unique Sherry wine regions of Jeréz and Sanlúcar, visiting such famous Sherry bodegas as Domecq, Gonzalez Byass, Lustau, Hidalgo and many others. While there, visit the famous Domecq Horse Show. Not far away is one of Europe's most intriguing bird sanctuaries, The Doñana National Park, a protected reserve and a popular attraction for nature lovers. A day trip to Tangiers, Morocco with a visit to the fascinating and colorful local souks is only a few hours away by taking the high speed ferry from Tarifa.

You can also choose among many local, charming destinations such as the magnificent, nearby village of Setenil de las Bodegas with its gorge in and around which this Andalusian village was built or the Roman ruin of Acinipo with a well preserved amphitheater and stunning views of the region. Or you can take the scenic mountain road towards Algeciras to the lovely village of Gaucín, one of the most attractive gems among Andalucía's White Villages. Worthwhile a visit are also Grazalema or Zahara de la Sierra.

Other recreational activities:

The beaches of Costa del Sol are situated along one of Europe's most formidable summer resorts including Marbella, Puerto Banús, Estepona, and Sotogrande on the Mediterranean Sea. On the Atlantic side, the endless, white sand beaches frequently have steady winds making this area ideal for wind and kite surfing. One of our favorite beaches on this side is Bolonia, where you can also visit its well preserved Roman ruins Baelo Claudia.

If you love horses, we can help you plan a morning ride through the area's beautiful scenery. If you plan to travel in early spring, consider the highest snow peaks of the Iberian Peninsula located in the Sierra Nevada, very close to Granada, with some of Spain's best ski slopes. Although at least 2 and a half hours away by car, you can still plan on arriving at the slopes before noon and returning home for dinner. Sierra Nevada has over 90 km of well maintained, tree-less ski runs, some of which provide breath taking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

El Cobijo
Lovely family home in a beautiful setting on the outskirts of Arriate (near Ronda). The villa is large and well equipped and was ideal for our family holiday (children 7 and 4). We are most grateful to Raynold who was the perfect host. We intend to return.

Lovely and well thought out villa - perfect for families.
The owners could not be nicer or more helpful and generous. The view from the house is one of the loveliest I've seen. The house is beautiful, very spacious and well laid out for large families. We had a really wonderful time.

Lovely stay in a great villa!
This villa was really luxurious and offered everything we needed for our one week stay. We were most impressed by the standard of the property and it was immaculately clean. Special thanks to Maria that came to the house every day to tidy up even do our washes. We didn’t see anybody but the pool was checked every morning. The water was crystal clear and still cold even with the high temperature we got (38 degrees..). We had 4 kids in tow (age 7-9) and this fabulous place worked perfectly to accommodate and entertain them. There were lots of board games, lego and at the heatest moment of the day, the X-Box was a nice distraction. We loved the pool and the large and verdant garden. The rooms are very elegant with wonderful artwork and lots of welcoming touches. Every room has their own facilities and very good (and silent) air-condition. The build quality is exceptional and all bedrooms are quiet and very private. The kitchen is well equipped - and we all ate together at a large table on the veranda, overlooking the valley and the sunset. There are breezes to cool the villa - although it looks as though it would be wonderful even in winter as it has a woodburner and cosy furnishings in the beautiful living room. We all would definitely recommend a stay here and would definitely stay here again.

The peace and quiet, the rural environment, the beautiful views, the friendly people, the excellent food, the central location to visit major cultural centers, and the endless beaches on the Atlantic coast, among so many other reasons made us look no further for a perfect location.
