A lovely relaxing week in a beautiful villa surrounded by stunning views
My sister and I had a great week in this delightful villa which has plenty of room for a good sized family. The beds are very comfortable and everything is very clean and easy to manage. We had planned to eat out at the two highly recommended restaurants in the village, but sadly they were both closed during August and so we tended to cook at the villa and much appreciated the vegetables that we were given from the garden. The swimming pool is really lovely and big enough to have a really good swim. Santiago keeps it beautifully clean and although there are trees nearby we never had any leaves in the pool. The villa has masses of toys and activities for young children but they would need to be carefully watched from a safety point of view. While we were staying in Alpandeire we visited Ronda which is a very beautiful town. Not to be missed are the Arab Baths, the Mondragon House the New Bridge over the gorge, the Giants House and the Bull ring. We had a very great view of this from our table in the restaurant of the Panoramic Hotel where we had a fantastic lunch. The only problem that we had during our holiday was in finding the villa on the first evening and driving on the mountain roads. We made the big mistake of trusting Google Maps to get us to the villa and in consequence we missed the turning on the right to Camino Ronda, marked with an attention sign for lorries, and since we were being told to go to the village this was what we did. As a result we got stuck in a terrifyingly narrow road that was about 1 in 1 with Google telling us to do a U turn. We phoned Santiago who was very helpful and once we had extracted ourselves he guided us to the villa. The village is lovely but the roads are extremely steep and we are both pensioners with some mobility issues. However I would certainly advise anyone of any age to avoid driving into Alpandeire. It is possible to park at the bottom of the mountain and walk up Calle Eritrea and then the views are wonderful. All in all a lovely week and many thanks to Santiago and his wife

Fine house and friendly owner
Our holiday was a success and this was partly due to the fantastic house with a pool and lots of privacy. But also by Santiago: a good and very friendly host who gave us valuable tips and leaded us through Ronda as a guide to attractions. He and his wife made sure that everything in the house, the terrain and the pool is very neatly and clean. And you can freely eat vegetables from the garden (huerta). Tips: EAT La Casa Grande in Alpandeire: not super cheap, but delicious and refined. And…. at walking distance. Bodega San Francisco in Ronda (just outside the ancient city gate: good food, low prices, nice spot. Sometimes all tables are occupied. Restaurante Las Banderas roadside Ronda - Benoajan, 2 km before Benoajan: authentic family company, good food, low prices, friendly service The best sangria ever !! Handwritten bill by 'papa'. SIGHTS Granada Alhambra: Worth it! We had not booked in advance and therefore had no access to Palacios Nazaries, but that is only 5% of the whole. The tickets will then cost half the price of full access… Ronda: lots to see. Some museums are free one day a week open, but the next week may again another day or another museum. Ask at reception of the museum worthwhile. Very nice is a guided tour through Santiago. Price included! Only give him a Coke after the walk  Setenil de las Bodegas: here the houses are built under and in the rocks. Park the car outside the city center, the streets are very narrow! Sevilla: old center with many attractions. Park your car outside the city, with the Metro you step out right in the center. Ask Santiago details about parking. Cádiz: beautiful coastal town, nice parks with tropical vegetation. Gibraltar: a ‘must seen’. Park your car still in Spain, near the McD. Go walking across the border (don’t forget your passport!!) and take the regular bus to the center for a few euro’s. That’s the simplest and cheapest way. For a total package including cable car and museums you have to pay ten times more. Bus stands about 100 m. behind the border-office.

Charming house and pool for relaxing
We loved our stay at 'El Castillejo'. The pool is a great size and the house was perfect for the four for us but it could easily host a larger family. Set in its own grounds it's brilliant for a nice relaxing holiday. Ronda is a great place, loads to see and do in & around the town. The house is set up great for kids, loads of lovely touches to make it a special place and lots to explore in the grounds. The twenty minute journey from Ronda to Alpandeire has some fantastic views. Santiago is the perfect host - a lovely guy. Always happy to help if required and he went as far as tour guiding us around the area a couple of times. It was a great privilege to be able to help ourselves to the organic vegetables from the house gardens. Great value for money, we would highly recommend this quirky house.
