In the village itself, there are still two working olive mills producing olive oil and there is a village pool, which is set in its own gardens, and is open from June to September. There are also many marked trails for everything from gentle strolls through to long hikes along the river Turon.
Within an hour of this villa in Andalucia you can reach the beaches of San Pedro De Alcantara and Marbella and sit and have a seafood lunch at one of the many cheringuitos ( typical beach restaurant ).
Nearby Ronda has an impressive 18th century bridge spanning the El Tajo gorge and has one of the best preserved Arab baths in Europe. A 40 minute scenic drive through the mountains will take you to the Malaga Lake District, where you can walk and swim, or just sit and enjoy a good lunch overlooking the panoramic views of the lakes.

We had a fantastic stay in your beautiful home. Explored the lakes, Marbella and Ronda. We loved the local pool and the friendly locals, and recommend the food in the local tapas bars. Five star.

A lovely start to our honeymoon in this lovely little home. We enjoyed swims and walks to the pools by the river, a mountain climb, many beers and olives at the local bar.A trip to Ronda well worth the visit and after all of these the beautiful Casa Isabella to come home to. Thank you !!.

The proof of our affection for this charming cottage lies in the fact that we rarely left our cosy retreat. We found everything we needed for amusement and relaxation. It looks like a great new start for this delightful home.

A delightful hideaway in a lovely part of Andalucia. Some superb walks in the Mountains. El Burgo is quite charming and gives one a real ‘Feel’ for rural Spain.
We too found the people here extraordinarily friendly. And wall to wall sunshine on our week here – what more could one ask for.

What a joy to be in this beautiful part of Spain. The house is delightful and we have particularly enjoyed the courtyard and the company of the Gecko and Swallows!
The village folk have been friendly and helpful to the English strangers. The whole experience has a been a wonderful gift to us, we came stressed and weary and return home refreshed and inspired. Thank – You.

We have had a superb holiday , walking in the surrounding countryside in beautiful sunshine. The bird watching has been wonderful, scores of Griffon vultures at the lakes,
Crested tits, Buntings, Evossbill ( we think ), birds of prey and many more. The trip to Ronda is well advised as is the journey to Granada and the Alhambra – beautiful.
Village and villagers delightful, good wine and food.
