Photos and Description of the Alhaurin de la Torre vacation chateau / country house rental Flexible accommodation for any size group from a couple, up to 14, or up to 20

Rancho del Ingles has much to offer. The original farmhouse is over a century old while the rest of the property has evolved over the last 20 years. The rustic farmhouse is a romantic setting for a couple or small family group while the main house, a few metres away is spacious, rustic yet grand, can accommodate 6 or 8. There is also a pool house with two futon beds, shower and w/c, and two annexes, each with twin beds and ensuite shower/wc. The property is secluded but not isolated with many terraces and separate areas. Within the spacious grounds orange, lemon and avocado groves, woods, a stream and mature shrubs give a wonderful sense of well-being. Teenagers enjoy chilling in the pool house so you don't need to drive them to clubs on the coast and the pool (with shallow end) is raised making it safer for toddlers. People of all ages love the space and freedom so much they often prefer to stay put than go exploring. Please email to receive a plan of the property.

Details for The Main House 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, 2 Bathrooms

This is a very impressive house which has been built with imagination over the last 20 years. Few people guess that it is not an original building as it is home to many interesting and antique features. There is a massive reception room with high ceiling, wood burning fire, beautifully carved Indian furniture and a dining area with candlearbra and huge old pine table. To the side is a spacious kitchen with further dining space and solid wood units. Up the spiral staircase within the tower is a double bedroom with and ensuite shower-room which is outside (but protected from the elements) and is arguably one of the world's loveliest places to start your day. There is a raised Punjabi bed in the master bedroom on the ground floor which has dual aspect windows overlooking a stream and mature trees. Outside there are several terraces, so you can chase the sun or the shade, and a marble table beneath an old lemon tree provides an ideal spot for lunch or a barbecue in the evening

Fifteen minutes from Malaga airport, but not on the flightpath, Rancho del Ingles nestles peacefully in the foothills, just outside the small, busy town of Alhaurin de la Torre. It's well situated for driving to the coast and inland destinations such as Granada, with its magnificent Alhambra and gardens; the old hillside village of Mijas, famous for its spectacular views of the coast; Ronda with its medieval bridge spanning a 500 ft gorge and much more. Seville can be reached within two hours by car or train. The local town is about 20 mins walk, or a few mins drive and provides bars, restaurants (which welcome small children) and cafes; tennis; open market and shopping. Malaga, often overlooked, is close and has much to offer including: the new Picasso museum, the cathedral and the Alcazaba. Aquapark, a water amusement park; Seaworld, Crocodile Park and Plaza Mayor with cafes, shops and cinema showing English films, and an 18 hole golf course are all within short driving distance.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Can't wait to go back! S.C ... Rancho del Ingles is superb … The little ones loved being there … It was indeed a most memorable and happy holiday and I revelled in the congratulations of the family for having found Rancho del Ingles … it proved to be a marvellous choice. L.C ... a fantastic holiday both houses completely exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed the gardens and the pool. It is a great spot for local sightseeing, we managed to get to Seville, Granada, Ronda, Puerto Banus, Marbella and we did have plans to see lots more, but we found we enjoyed the house so much that it was a real struggle trying to motivate ourselves to actually get up and do something. P.H ... Fantastic, you should have talked us into two weeks! R.F ... We particularly liked the fact that (the local town) wasn't touristy . We also enjoyed the restaurants you recommended, especially the pizza place...ventured into the town for a few drinks and a spot of pool to keep the lads happy. P.H

Doing your 40th with rustic charm and style

Dharmendra Glasgow
Review Submitted: March 29, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
I celebrtaed my 40th here with 19 folk in my party. Both Myuki and David, the owners provided that rare thing, which is priceless - good company and good humour - which provided a wonderful context for the celebrations. The weird thing was how effortless it all felt. The place is beautiful, lovely smells of jasmine, lemon and orange trees; the fig trees are gorgeous and produce exvellent fruit. We used all the space available and it is throughfully designed to provide maximum pleasure, whatever your style of indulgence or relaxation. Many thanks for all your help and implicitness about managing a large family - an Indian one at that.

Every thing is close by yet you feel in a very secluded and private setting. Alfresco dining is a must and boht Myuiki and David can be as visible or invisible as you want them to be always at hand to assist with silly, mundane or even specialist requests.

Its a must. Go and enjoy. The best thing is it's les than half hour from the airport but you wouldn't know it.
