July 2006

Lizards hid in the grass, turtles disappeared back into the river bed, buzzards and eagles flew high above. The neighbours were friendly and brought us fruit and must have thought we were mad walking and sunbathing in the hot midday sun. We listened out for the bread man and the ice cream van. The children never said I’m bored… Bliss!!! Many, many thanks. (Look forward to seeing the barn.) Don’t doubt, book it!!!) - Danny, Maria, Molly and George

May 2006

Surprisingly, as we are usually poor at coping with holidays , found ourselves relaxed and busy doing not very much from day l. Perhaps best of all, so much to explore nearby without mad drives to tourist traps. Oh and no-one else has mentioned the stars. - Keith and Jackie

Tony and Sally are the perfect hosts and provided everything we could have possibly wanted. One of the highlights for us was the gourmet dinner we had at the fabulous local hotel , La Posada del Torcal. - Claire, John, Eleanor and Rachel

March 2006

We have had a fantastic holiday here. We had not expected the area to be so beautiful with mountains, grassy plains , meadows awash with spring flowers and superb views from winding mountain tracks and highways. The mountain villages, Antequera and Almogia were stunning and further afield we loved Ronda and Granada . We will have to return , there's still so much to see and do. - Vanessa, Stuart, Molly and Lucy

Tony and Sally, we’ve had a fab time
The house is superb and the views are divine.
Lots of nice memories, cold beers in the bars,
The tinkling of goat bells, the twinkling of stars.
The fixtures and fittings, the clever design
All make it lovely, (I wish it was mine).
Thanks for everything - Mary and Roger

Had a lovely time, can't wait to come back - Adam & Dominique

Loved the pool, relaxing deck chairs, wonderful vista and peace and quiet, just the break I needed - Heidi, Steve, James & Sophie.
