The apartment is situated in the rolling hills and olive groves of Andalucia, in La Atalaya, a small quiet village just outside the village of Villanueva De Algaidas, which in turn is about twenty minutes from the nearest large town of Antequera, with its shops and 14 churches and approximately one hours drive from Malaga or Granada Airports and 1 1/2 hours Sevilla. Both La Atalaya and VillaNueva De Algaidas are typically Spanish villages where the locals are very friendly and welcoming. Virtually all shopping needs are serviced by the two villages and there are also a number of Tapas and other bars and restaurants. A local market is held every Friday.

Canasto, the

Hanson Bruges, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
There is nothing we could add to the other 2 reviews, we can only confirm them. Mike and Tracy are very nice and helpfull people who are doing a wonderful job. We were so much better of with their advice and route description than with the information we got from our GPS. Thanks again folks ! We look forward to meeting Mike and Tracy again some day, if not in Algaidas, then maybe in Bruges ?
Owner's Response: It was a pleasure to welcome Hans and Patrick to our cortijo. They certainly made the most of their two week holiday and visited many of the sights and attractions that are within easy driving distance for example, Cordoba, Granada and the Alhambra, Ronda, Seville, Málaga, El Chorro and the lakes etc. etc. We always look forward to seeing our friends again and have many return visits.

Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We can only confirm the previous reviews. The apartment was very spacious and clean. The pictures shown on this site are very representative. We even think that the bedroom (upper floor) was quite romantic with the nice wooden shutters and access to the roof terrace with a great view over the olive groves. Mike was indeed very kind and helped us with many things. Shops, restaurants, cash points etc are all in the near vicinity. Cortijo Canasto makes a very good starting point from which you can easily visit a lot of places/cities of interest. In addition, a large file with information and maps of Andalucian cities is available in the apartment.

Though the weather was relatively good for October during our holiday, we would like to visit Cortijo Canasto again in summer, so we can actually use the private swimming pool...
Owner's Response: I very much hope that Paul and Johanna do decide to return here during the long hot days of summer. Although we do expect to have a lot of good weather right through the autumn months, because the evenings are cooler the water in the pool becomes cooler too.

Chilled Cortijo Canasto

Review Submitted: October 20, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My boyfriend and I stayed here in October and it was everything we hoped for. The cottage is very spacious for two people being on two levels - not like a typical one bedroomed apartment and despite Mike being just next door we had plenty of privacy. The property was clean and well-maintained. Perfectly situated for us in the middle of olive groves but not too far away from villages with shops, restaurants and bars. Mike was very helpful, telling us about the local area, giving us good driving directions to places we wanted to visit and very personable. I would advise a hire car to explore the local countryside which is stunning or alternatively you're too far away from the cities (we just preferred the countryside spots). Take a phrase book with you as well if you're not that good at Spanish. The locals are very amenable as long as you try and utter the right words!!! We got by OK and Mark is even vegetarian and we managed not to accidentally order any meat.
A great holiday if you're looking for peace and quiet in the Andalucian countryside.

Very relaxing

Scott, Sue & William UK
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The previous reviews are all very accurate.

We had a great week relaxing at Cortijo Canasto. The apartment is well maintained, comfortable and very peaceful. Mike was a great help when we needed advice but clearly didn't want to intrude on our holiday time uninvited - it was comforting knowing that he was just next door should we need anything.

The private pool at the rear of the apartment and gas BBQ (fish bought from Antequera's supermarket or from the village; meat from the village also) on the sun terrace were most welcome and well used.

If you want to experience proper Spain (knowing some basic Spanish is advisable and car hire a must to get the most out of your holiday) then Cortijo Canasto is a great and very comfortable base camp.

We'd most definitely recommend Cortijo Canasto to friends and family.

A fantastic holiday!

Caroline & Phil Seaton Sluice, Tyne & Wear, England
Review Submitted: October 1, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I write this review with slight reluctance because I don't want too many people to fall in love with Cortijo Canasto as much as we did and therefore fully book the property!!

Seriously though, we had an absolutely fabulous holiday and did not want to leave. It is such a lovely villa and has everything you possibly want, it is home from home (except with stunning views, glorious sunshine, peace and quiet, oh, and a beautiful pool!)
Phillip especially loved the barbecue and we had many memorable nights, sitting on the terrace, eating, drinking and looking at the stars (bliss).
Mike could not have been more helpful. He gave us lots of tips on places to go, how to get there and even lent us his Spanish dictionary as we had forgotten ours! As this was the first time we had booked a holiday that wasn't a 'package deal' Mike gave us so much advice via email, answering any questions we had.
We will definitely be staying at Cortijo Canasto again, hopefully as soon as next year :)
Thanks again Mike, see you soon,
Caroline and Phillip
Owner's Response: The wonderful smell of freshly cooked barbeque wafted many nights from the cottage terrace whilst Caroline and Phillip enjoyed a relaxing evening. You should not be concerned if you are considering you first "D.I.Y." holiday here at Cortijo Canasto. Advice and assisance is on hand if you need it. I look forward to Caroline and Phillips return soon.
