Photos and Description of the Gaucin vacation villa rental
2/3 en-suite bedrooms, sleeps 2-9, perfect for couples or families

Located in the Sierra Crestellina Natural Park between the hilltop 'pueblo blancas' of Gaucin and Casares, this villa commands stunning views across the beautiful Rio Genal valley to the mountains of the Sierra Grazalema National Park, Los Alcornocales National Park, and the Serrania de Ronda.

The large private pool has stunning views - with sun loungers, hammocks, tables chairs, plastic pool dining crockery, glasses and cutlery and a pool changing room with WC, wash hand basin and an outdoor shower.

The house is fully equipped for cooking and BBQ-ing and enjoying the outdoor life in summer - and with central heating and a log fire it's comfortable all year round, even in our short Spanish winter.

The kitchen is a cook's dream - we supply everything you need for meals al fresco on one of our many dining terraces or at our antique dining table seating 12.

You have free wi-fi broadband access - and all reception rooms and the master bedroom have a sound system so you can play your favourite music or listen to the radio.

The accommodation is flexible - perfect for a family party or for a romantic couples holiday.

The 2-bedroom house sleeps a maximum of 4 adults and two children under 5 sharing their parents' bedrooms. But if you have a larger party there is a third en-suite bedroom. The 3-bedroom version of the house sleeps a maximum of 6 adults and 3 children under 5 sharing bedrooms with adults. Whether you rent the 2 or 3 bedroom house, all the facilities are the same - the third bedroom will simply be locked.

All beds are super-king size and can be made up as single beds if you require this. Just let us know. All bedrooms have en-suite facilities and there is a guest cloakroom on the ground floor.

You will always have exclusive use of the house, grounds and pool and the stunning scenery of the Natural Park.

With the Sierra Crestellina mountain as its backdrop, Finca Las Aguilas is set in six acres (2.5 hectares) of landscaped and wild gardens and is a birdwatchers' paradise. There are many excellent walking trails close to the villa - and the sky at night is stunning. In spring the wild flowers are beautiful.

Although private and peaceful, the villa is ideally situated to provide easy access to Blue Flag Mediterranean beaches 15 minutes' drive away, excellent restaurants, shops and superb golf courses (Valderrama, Sotogrande, etc) along the coast. There is an award-winning goats cheese factory (queseria), a bakery (panaderia), and a bar/restaurant just over a mile away. Supermarkets, retail parks, banks etc and all the essentials of the Costa del Sol are within easy driving distance. The wonderful cities of Seville, Cordoba, Jerez, Tarifa, Grenada and Malaga are all less than 3 hours away - and Morocco is a 30-min ferry crossing from Tarifa.

Our prices include absolutely everything: weekly house cleaning and towel/linen change, fresh white laundered Egyptian cotton bedlinen, bath, hand, kitchen and pool towels; table and kitchen linen; all utilities, free wi-fi broadband internet access, UK satellite TV (family and sports package), free-to-view Spanish TV; ceiling fans in all rooms, two air-cooling units; pool cleaning, hair driers and adult bath robes (so no need to pack these), the use of our library of books, DVDs, CDs and family board games, picnic ware and cool boxes. The house is made for entertaining with indoor and outdoor dining areas and plenty of cutlery, crockery and glassware.

And we have a cook who will come to the house and cater for you.

The on-site caretakers (or sometimes the owners when they are in Spain) live in the attached casita (cottage), separated from the main house by a study/store room. They are an invaluable source of local knowledge and are on hand to help in any way. The casita does not overlook the main house at all and has its own separate access, car park and small garden. Visitors have the sole use of the rest of the grounds (6 acres - 2.5 hectares) and pool. If the owners or caretakers are not in residence in the casita our keyholders can be contacted at all times for help and information. Their phone number will be given to you.

Please note - our minimum stay is seven nights - and the nightly rates quoted in VRBO's system are incorrect but we can't over-ride them! So please look at our rates to see the price for the two or three bedroom version of the house - thank you.

Beautiful finca with thoughtful owners!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 19, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Our family stayed in Finca Las Aguilas over New Years and were not disappointed! What a beautiful home! We thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the beautiful chef's kitchen and can easily say that the beds were some of the most comfortable we've encountered in a rental home! The owners are extremely thorough and thoughtful with their approach to renters. We stayed here with our three children, aged 5 and under, and the owners were both warm and welcoming to them, which we very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental home to others - it is in a quiet location, yet is close enough (an hour or less) to several fantastic Andalusian sightseeing opportunities.
Owner's Response: We so much appreciate you taking the time to write this review - my wife so admired you for travelling with your very small babies - although I did remind her that we had done the same (3 children under 4 years old in Africa). We hope you will return one day and enjoy the pool as well as the surroundings. Best wishes to you and your lovely family.

The best VRBO we ever stayed at.

When you stay at Finca Aguilas you are staying in a magnificent home, not a rental property. Liz and Gerry are gracious hosts that have mastered the blend of elegance and comfort in this property. The home is warm in both temperature, furnishings and appointments. Works of art from their travels around the world adorn the house while the under the floor heating keeps the home comfy on cool nights. The daybeds on the patios are festooned with pillows and blankets providing a great place to relax and watch the birds and wildlife.

The views are superb and the house is dramatically set at the base of La Crestalina. The lovely towns of Gaucin and Cesares are only a short drive away and wll worth the drive.

From the booking process to our departure everything went off without a hitch. We would definitely stay here again and would, and already have, recommended it to our friends.

Thanks Liz and Gerry.

More than we ever dreamed of!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 18, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
Where do we begin....The house and property is nothing less than spectacular. Since I love to cook, the kitchen was a chef's dream. Plenty of counter/cabinet space, beautifully appointed, and everything one could think of as a chef in a strange kitchen. Bravo, well done. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and also well appointed. I kept getting lost, the house is so large...And most importantly, the house and surrounds, pool, etc were immaculately clean. Top notch goodie basket upon arrival as well!
As for the owners, well, let's just say they are two of the nicest, warmest people my wife and I have ever had the pleasure to know. We can't rave enough or give enough "stars" to the entire experience, from the first email, directions to the house, payment, helping us to book a day trip to Tangier (you simply must!), and a myriad of other details. They truly must love making everything so special Thank you L and J, for a phenomenal week in your storybook home! Can't wait to return!

Beautiful House in a Magificent Setting

5 of 5
Submitted: July 2, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
We are so grateful for our time in this absolutely beautiful house in the most extraordinary location. The setting is so breathtaking. We could not have asked for more. This spacious and well designed house exceeded our expectations in comfort and amenities. We felt right at home. The owners were welcoming, gracious, generous and very accomodating. Their input was crucial to making our stay so gratifying. Ever patient, they gave us restaurant and sight seeing suggestions which were excellent. The surrounding area is great for sightseeing. A week's stay is not sufficient to cover all the area's attractions. We ordered delcious tapas through the owners from a local chef to eat at home our first night.We also purchased wine in advance as well. We feel very, very lucky to have found this house and Liz and Gerry, it's wonderful hosts. Thank you.

Owner's Response: So glad you enjoyed your stay - and thank you too for making the time to write this review. Jane will be pleased to know that you enjoyed her tapas - and we arte pleased that you enjoyed the sight seeing and local restaurants. By the way - we are so pleased you went to Bolona and Baelo Claudia - it is a very special place and not many people know about it. Come again for longer next time!

Wonderful Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: June 2, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
The photos don't do justice to this villa. It is a lovely home away from home. The kitchen was much nicer than we anticipated, and our group enjoyed spending time together cooking. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The multiple outside dining areas offered good views while dining, as well as enjoying the fresh air and warmth of Andalucia. I especially enjoyed the hammocks down by the pool with the excellent views of the mountains and nearby hill towns. The local hill towns were quite enjoyable to explore. And there is a quaint beach town only 15-20 minutes away. We day-tripped to Morocco, Sherry/Brandy tasting, hill towns (Ronda, etc.), art fairs, farmers markets, beach towns, hiking in the mountains, etc. as well as just relaxing by the pool on other days. We intend to return, and have already recommended to many friends in just the week since we returned home.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to send this review - and for your lovely comments in the house guest book. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Yes, we know the photos don't do justice to the place - but it's virtually impossible to take pictures that truely represent this wonderful landscape and beautiful Andalucia. You certainly made the most of your holiday and our cook really enjoyed meeting you and cooking her Taste of Spain menu. We look forward to welcoming you here again.

We've just returned from a fantastic week at the Finca. The location is perfect, it is easy to drive to the many villages and sights of southern Andalucia. The home is clean, quiet, elegant, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen very well equipped for cooking and entertaining. Liz and Gerry are wonderful hosts, helpful and available whenever they are needed, and they provided a lovely welcome basket for us. The beaches are close by, or you can just relax at their beautiful pool after a day of sightseeing. The area is tranquil, the sunset and stars are beautiful at night, and the wildlife is right at your doorstep. We would not hesitate to return.

We were lucky enough to spend a week in this lovely villa in September, 2007. There is little we can add to the numerous comments above, except that they are all true. This is an exceptional way to combine rural and urban site-seeing in this beautiful part of Spain along with relaxtion - we could have spent the whole week just reading and watching the sceneray from the villa's many verandahs. But Gibralter, Rondo and the other white villiages, Jerez, and Roman ruins also called.

This is a truly spectacular and very different place to stay: up in the mountains with amazing scenery but within striking distance of the coast. You will see a very different side of Spain including the wildlife: wild boar, salamanders, mountain goats, vultures and praying mantis were seen on our many walks around the villa.

The villa itself is an unusual and clever design. Open plan for family living but with secluded areas where you can get away from people and enjoy the peace. All the rooms are furnished and equiped to a high standard and tastefully done in an authentic style in keeping with the rural character of the area.

We stayed with another family and found it well equipped and very spacious for four adults and three children. The pool is great (important when you've got kids) and everything we needed was there.

What a lovely, elegant and comfortable house! And the owners have great taste in books and DVDs. The pool area is lovely too. We enjoyed the spectacular mountain views during the day, the local wildlife and birds and star gazing at night. The nearby coastal town is very unspoilt, and accessible. We will definitely be making a return visit.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this stunning villa. The location is exceptional with views for miles in all directions across the National Parks and out across Gibralter, and yet it is also close to amenities. We will particularly remember a lovely casual lunch down at the beach and a ramble up to the top of the Crestillina above the house. The villa itself had everything we needed and lazing by the pool amidst the views is hard to beat for sheer relaxation value.
