Great relaxed family holiday

A great family holiday in a lovely villa within an off gridl location, quiet and yet close enough to amenities as needed. The family loved the pool. I thought the care and support to quickly address and query or minor issue was amazing. Paul the local contact was brilliant. Very much recommend and would rebook in the future without hesitation. 5 star.

Our week in ARCOS de la Frontera

The Villa is situated in a very rural location surrounded by fields with only a few other villas and buildings, the views from the villa are great. The only downside was that several of the buildings were farm properties that were uninhabited and guarded by large dogs that tended to bark a lot throughout the night, and as a relatively light sleeper it did affect my sleep, I appreciate that this is out of the owner’s control and would not put me off returning. The villa and its facilities were first class and exceeded our expectations. The villa is situated approximately 15 minutes drive from ARCOS which is a reasonably simple drive. The pool was clean but is looking a little tired with a few missing tiles. Many thanks to Paul for his advise and tips very much appreciate.

Perfect home in great relaxed location

Excellent stay in the most relaxed location with everything that we needed for feeling completely at home. No troubles with checking in as the instructions were excellent, Paul gave us all the information required for our stay. The house itself was just set up as if it was our own, no feeling of a holiday home. The pool was great, and three choices to sit or eat outside could be varied depending upon the sun and the breeze to ensure everything was just right. The tower was brilliant for the incredibly abundant birdlife. A great location for various days out, Jerez, Arcos, Seville (amazing), the wonderful beaches, Baelo Claudia and Sierra de Grazalema. Our only regret was we booked for just eight days instead of eight weeks!

Rural peace within reach of Ronda, Cadiz and Jerez

The house is located about 1.5 km from the main road down a farm track. There are other properties dotted about the area, the closest about 70m, but no intrusive noise...silent at night. The views from the tower-like terrace are lovely especially during harvesting with the farm vehicles buzzing around. Pool lovely, house spacious with everything we needed. AC was effective in bedrooms on the hottest nights. Plenty of towels for house and pool, travel cot (take a fitted sheet) and high chair. We would book again as a family or a couple for a rest....this trip we were 4+ toddler. Consider packing a paddling pool for little ones. Property is toddler safe. Local property manager was kind and responsive. If you don’t want to trek to the sea side kids will enjoy the lakeside beach just north of Arcos. Good supermarkets in Arco’s for all you need, street market Friday. Pay attention to the warning in joining instructions about getting locked out...keep a physical note of key code...VRBO won’t be any use if your phone is inside :(

Fantastic

Fantastic property only 15 mins away from Arcos with lots of restaurants and supermarkets yet feels remote and peaceful. The pool is fantastic, good size and lots of toys for kids to play with. Felt like a home from home with lots of books, dvds, a bluetooth speaker and decent wifi. View from the tower room is stunning. We will definitely be back.

Excellent house in a quiet rural area with beautiful views.

Excellent house in a quiet rural area with beautiful views. Very clean and well appointed villa with lovely pool and seating areas for sun and shade. We found plenty of places to visit of cultural or natural interest within 1.5 hours drive eg Jerez inc good zoo, Grazalema, Zahara, Olvera, Setenil, Medina Sidonia, Vejer, La Breña coastal nature reserve, kayaking & swimming at Arcos beach, Ronda, Sevilla (parked at the metro at Condequinto), Cadiz (train from Jerez). Very approachable local contact and owner. Wide range of bird life. We had hot weather, sometimes breezy but we could always keep the house comfortably cool with very quiet ceiling fans and air conditioning when required. We would highly recommend.

Really well equipped, didn't need anything, comfortable and well appointed. Amazing pool, fortunately we had plenty of hot weather (not a given during the time of our stay) so put to good use. Barbecue was well used too! Really relaxing location, secluded and very green valley. Pleasantly surprised by the birding from the tower, pool and garden. We notched up 70 species during our stay, 3 different types of Vulture, Black-winged Kites, Hoopoe, Golden Orioles and Red-necked Nightjars (the full list is available on ebird). The loose dogs on the short track are easily avoided by taking the slightly longer route through the valley and also makes for a lovely walk to the local venta. We had a completely relaxing stay, didn't even leave the cortijo on a number of days.

Great and quiet house in a very good location

We (family of 5) visited the house for the second time. Once again, we very much appreciated the quietness and uniqueness of the Location. From this place, it is very convenient to reach both the seaside as well as the hiking tours in Grazalema. Jerez and Arcos are nearby. Certainly worth a visit - hopefully we will be able to visit a third time... Car is needed for this house.

Excellent accommodation in a lovely part of Spain

We had a lovely week at Cortijo Buena Vista. We found it a very pleasant house to stay in during the hot weather. The bedrooms are relatively cool and we only needed to have the ceiling fan on a low setting at night. But there are air conditioning units in each room if you need them. Getting a good night's sleep on holiday is fantastic! Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and sitting room are very attractive and well equipped. There are so many books to read and DVDs to watch. It was very windy for the first few days but that was fine because we took the chance to do some sight-seeing. We really enjoyed the pool - it is a good size and depth. The property is down a long rough track but we found it fine to drive along as long as you go slowly and it means that it is in a very quiet location. We had some lovely walks along the roads from there, through the farming areas. We went to Arcos reservoir on a couple of occasions where there is a sandy beach with swimming which was fantastic. We liked going up to Arcos in the evenings and wandering around the narrow streets (make sure you park and walk up!) and going to some of the tapas restaurants and a great new Moroccan Spanish restaurant. We also had a great day driving to Zahara and stopping off to see the views from the mountains on the way and the griffon vultures. It was very beautiful and although the roads wind around the mountains it felt quite a safe drive. The property is clean and well looked after and Jacinta was really helpful and was contactable by text if needed. All-in-all a great holiday!

Rural tranquility, great pool, highly recommended

Highly recommended. With its wonderful, peaceful and private location, this spacious property provided us with everything we needed for a great holiday. We really enjoyed the large private swimming pool. The house has plenty of shaded seating areas; we particularly enjoyed the tower room and courtyard. Overall the house was cool despite it being particularly hot during our stay; the aircon and ceiling fans in the bedrooms helped keep us cool at night. A large selection of books and DVD added to the opportunities to relax and chill. Great tapas in old Arcos and with beaches, mountains, Cadiz and Sevilla easily accessible.

Rest and Relaxation, deep in the Spanish countryside

We enjoyed our stay at Cortijo Buena Vista immensely. The weather was absolutely fabulous which made the air conditioning in every room very welcome. The villa is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need supplemented by a thoughtful welcome pack and access to many staple products and cleaning products you normally need to purchase. The lounge, diner, kitchen is great, sofas are comfortable and there is satellite access to main UK channels if you can ever tear yourself away from the idyllic garden. We enjoyed the pool as swallows swooped over our heads and birds of prey circled in the distance. There are various tables, chairs, pool loungers throughout the property in various locations which means you can chase the sun or stay in the shade whatever your preference. The tower room offers great views and a cooler, breazy location to read a book or sample some of the fino sherry left for us in the fridge. The location is convenient. We flew in from Seville airport which is just over an hour away and is a fantastic city to visit. Don't miss the cathedral or the Alcazar (beat the queues by paying a little extra for a guided tour).Jerez is less than 30 minutes, where we enjoyed the school of equestrian art which on certain days includes dressage performances where the horses dance to music and colourful pageantry (tickets can be purchased online from the UK). Sandeman's bodega is next door. It takes less than an hour to get to Cadiz which is worth reaching via the ferry from El Puerto de Santa Maria. This is really cheap, solves any car parking problems and gives you a virtually free 30 minute cruise into the town. Cadiz is full of the history you would expect connected with a strategic Spanish port, but take care of your belongings as we had a bag stolen within seconds while we were having lunch. Arcos de la frontera is the closest town to the villa and is worth exploring. We drove up to the Plaza Del Cabildo, via very narrow roads to the view point looking over the valley. Its worth spending time contemplating the view from the terrace of the parador over a glass of wine or cold beer. Our days however, always ended meandering back to the peace and quiet of the villa for a G&T, to swim, to read and to BBQ (a very efficient charcoal BBQ is located in the little courtyard at the front of the property). Memorable days.

Lovely house

The house was very clean and tidy, and very well equipped. It was easy to drive to. It was a perfect base for exploring the wider area; we enjoyed trips out to Jerez and Cadiz and also popped into Arcos de la Frontera, which was nice. There are plenty supermarkets within easy reach of the house. The area around the house is very peaceful and quiet. The views are of rolling hills, trees, farmland, with mountains in the distance. It was lovely to eat and drink in the tower room and enjoy the views. We especially enjoyed the pool, which is very big with shallow and deep ends so useable for swimming or just splashing about! We spent most of our time lounging by the pool and then using the pool to cool down - perfect! We would recommend the house to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you!

Maison spacieuse, au calme, proche d'Arcos de la F

Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans cette maison claire et spacieuse, au calme, tout en étant très proche d'Arcos. La cour devant la maison, le jardin, ainsi que la pièce ouverte sur trois côtés, dans la tour, qui bénéficie constamment d'un vent frais, ainsi que la maison elle-même offrent la fraîcheur souhaitable. La maison est bien équipée, les lits confortables. Seul (petit) inconvénient: le bruit du vent (probablement parce que nous sommes venus en avril) dans les fenêtres le soir (il faut alors les fixer avec un carton pour les empêcher de vibrer). La maison est idéalement située pour visiter les villages blancs. Nous y retournerons certainement lors de notre prochain séjour en Andalousie et la recommandons. P & P

Relaxing in the countryside

A spacious villa set in the countryside yet only 15' drive from he white-walled town of Arcos de la Frontera, with easy access to Jerez, Cadiz and Seville from there. There is a small shop and a bar in the hamlet that is 5' drive down the track from the villa on the main road The villa is clean and spacious with a pleasant garden surrounded by fields. The pool is a good size, and an equally welcome feature is the tower room, which even on the hottest days provided respite from the Spanish sun. Highly recommended for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Rural tranquillity, yet easily accessible

We have now been to this villa 3 times and will come again. The house is spacious and very well equipped (air con a bonus) and very easy to relax in. It is in a pretty, rural location with great views from the pool terrace and especially from the elevated tower room. We love the peace and quiet and the opportunity to see a variety of birds. The pool is a good size and suitable both for 'proper' swimming and for children to play in. Though in a rural location, the house is straightforward to reach and easily accessible from a range of airports (we use Seville). Arcos is nearby and well worth visiting and also provides all the useful things you need for a self catering holiday. A little further afield but easily reached are historic Jerez to the west, with its bodegas and the Spanish riding school, east will take you into the stunning Grazalema national park with Cadiz and the beaches of the Costa de la Luz to the south and of course Seville to the north. Now that the children are older we have been able to go horse riding near Prado del Rey (20 minutes) and kayaking on Arcos Lake (15 minutes) and there is also the aqua park near El Puerto de Santa Maria. You could easily spend all the time sightseeing as there is lots to see and do, but we also love just being in the garden and by the pool. The house represents excellent value for money and the owners are very helpful. If you are looking for an active nightlife scene or don't want to hire a car, this is not the villa for you but overall this is a great place to stay and we recommend it.

Beautiful house, rural location

We loved the house, the atmosphere of it and the rural location. Spacious, a beautiful tower and it offered everything we needed. A few small points: our adult children weren’t too happy about the matrasses on the single beds (the kingsize was very comfortable btw) and I think there the water is very ‘hard’ (chalky) because alt the plates, cups and glasses were a bit tainted. But nevertheless and again, we loved the place so highly recommended!

Muy buena casa

La vivienda es excepcional, aunque cuesta llegar la primera vez, está aislada, tranquila, muy bien equipada, en cuanto a surtido de menaje, utensilios... y todo lo necesario para una estancia perfecta; aunque hay algunos detalles a mejorar. - La iluminación exterior es casi nula, lo que imposibilita el uso durante la noche. - Los baños, aunque siendo correctos, necesitan una reforma. - Reparar algunas ventanas que no cierran correctamente. Pese a estos puntos de mejora la vivienda es fantástica y merece la pena la estancia
