Traditional Spanish house with private pool near the beach.Big offer April/June.

This was our second year staying as guests of Juan Antonio Cruzado and we have already booked a third. You could therefore say enough said!

It suits us perfectly as we enjoy self catering and shopping at the local butcher and fish shop and going to the splendid market in Barbate for vegetables, where you can also sneak in some indulgent churros with your morning coffee.

The cortijo is charming and very comfortable for 2 (+2). The location is perfect for walking to the low rise coastal resort of El Palmar, with it's fabulous beach stretching from Cape Trafalgar to Conil de la Frontera, every inch of which we have walked on one trip or another.

The property is well maintained and you will never run out of eggs, which are a splendid feature of Juan Antonio's relaxed but perfectly attentive customer service.

We have recommended the cortijo to people and indeed some friends of ours, who have their own property in Spain, were much taken with it when they came to stay one night, including an especially magical sunset at a nearby beach bar.

We are especially fond of Gurugu Chiringuito on the beach, Restaurante El Alferez - the closest restaurant to the cortijo and Venta El Toro at Santa Lucia, just beneath Vejer de la Frontera.

Das Haus und die Lage sind ausserordentlich schön. Die Einrichtung des Hauses liebe- und geschmackvoll. Juan-Antonio ist sehr hilfsbereit und seine diskreten, unaufdringliche Art ist sehr angenehm. Er ist sofort da, wenn man ihn braucht. Der Garten ist gross und gepflegt, der Swimmingpool nicht gross, aber gerade richtig. Die Tiere im und ums Haus waren für uns eine schöne Nebenerscheinung, wir haben uns über das morgendliche Hallo der Gänse und Hähne gefreut. Und die Hauskatze Juana ist uns sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage hier. Einzig die beiden Matratzen in den Einzelbetten unter dem Dach sind nicht für Erwachsene absolut nicht geeignet, erst recht nicht, wenn man einen etwas heiklen Rücken hat.

La propiedad esta cuidada con cariño y mucho detalle, el jardin y la piscina impecables. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades y si surge alguna necesidad, el propietario, una persona muy amable y cercana, siempre esta atento y disponible para ayudar. A cinco minutos andando de la playa. Nuestra estancia ha sido inmejorable y si tenemos oportunidad, sin duda volveremos.

The garden and pool are exceptionally nice. An enclosed space, well cared for and surrounded by trees full of bird song. The house is full of character with artistic touches all around. We were four adults, which in retrospect was not ideal as one of the bedrooms is open plan with the communal area and gave little privacy, and also has no storage space for clothes. Would be better for two adults with children.

Beautiful rustic cottage in an oasis close to the beach which has amazing surf. Lovely casual restaurants walking distance away. Very relaxing.
