Los Cactus El Gastor by Ruralidays

Holiday home near El Gastor, province of Cadiz, Andalucia.

If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with your family, you should take into consideration this holiday home, enveloped by the olive yards that cover the hills and mountains of the Sierra de Cadiz. You will fall in love with its quiet atmosphere and picturesque decoration, thanks to which the whole family will unwind and recharge their batteries.

This villa can welcome up to six people, who will share the three bedrooms provided: two of them are equipped with a double bed, whereas the third one features two twin beds. There’s one bathroom with shower at the guests’ disposal. The common areas, where you will gather with your beloved ones, are divided into a dining-living room and an independent kitchen. In the living room, you will find two comfortable sofas facing a fireplace, and a dining table. The house is heated via electric radiators.

Once you have enjoyed the comforts of the interior, move outside, because it’s here where you will spend most of your free time. First, you will find a gorgeous porch with an area for “al fresco” dining, immersed in a relaxing atmosphere provided by the colourful flowers and lush vegetation of the garden. This will allow you to enjoy your meals accompanied by a delicate scent you won’t easily forget. Right next to the porch, a spiral staircase leads to the rooftop terrace, the real gem of the house: in addition to welcoming a coquettish sitting area, the terrace provides impressive views of the villa’s surrounding landscape, from the closest hills and olive yards to the Lake Zahara. The postcard you are presented is one to make you forget everything related to the routine and quietly enjoy the beauty around you.

The villa’s backyard features the pool area, surrounded by the same lush vegetation that characterises the rest of the property, thus including vivid-colour flowers and Mediterranean plants. There are poolside sun loungers where you can sunbathe and enjoy the sunlight, and even a coquettish sitting area in the middle of the perfectly-landscaped garden. A brick BBQ and a 2-place private parking lot complete the facilities of the accommodation.

The access to the house is possible via a 400-mt paved lane.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a fireplace and a private pool. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We had a fabulous time here. Los Cactus felt like a botanical garden where you could see all the love and care that was put in, even in November when we were there. The location couldn’t be more idyllic. The views during every time of the day were spectacular. Our host Trini is super nice and friendly, and despite a language barrier was the communication with her great thanks to the technologies (translation apps). We enjoyed our time there and explored the near and far (Ronda, Seville, Marbella, El Gastor, Grazalema). The area is great for hiking enthusiasts. Andalusia is just beautiful and this Finca was the cherry on top!

Absolute paradise

It was genuinely like paradise. The garden was absolutely stunning, so many different places to sit or lay in the sun or shade, enjoying the panoramic views over the embalsa and surrounding mountains. A lot of wildlife to spot! The pool is well maintained and regularly cleaned. The house is clean, well equipped, and peaceful and blissfully cool for when it gets very hot outside. Trini was a wonderful host and answered any questions very quickly via whatsapp, gave us great recommendations for eating in El Gastor (5 min drive), and was just generally very friendly and welcoming. Really perfectly situated for visiting Ronda, Zahara de la Sierra, and the Parque Natural de Grazalema where you can do some beautiful walks. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Lovely Villa

We had a good time at the Villa, once Trini and Pepe showed us the way to the property. The owners Trini and Pepe are very proud of their beautiful Villa and the grounds and pool were wonderful. The property is at the end of a road with one other villa in the vicinity. The only downside to the area is two caged dogs on the grounds next to the villa which I found upsetting, but this had nothing to do with the villa or the owners but it did spoil my stay. It would be much better if the dogs could perhaps have the run of the grounds rather than be locked in a cage. We would not visit again because of this but this is not any disrespect to the owners who’s property is lovely but I think future clients may also find the situation sad. Kim and Graham

Fabulous! Property very comfortable and immaculately clean

We loved this very unique villa high up in the hills, with the most wonderful view. The pool, the garden, the terrace and roof terrace were all amazing. For us it ticked all the boxes. The only downside, was a caged dog in close proximity to the villa, that barks and howls at night, otherwise it would be very peaceful.

Prachtig gelegen huis

Mooie locatie, sfeervol huis. Lekker zwembad. Het nadeel was dat we de hele dag door last hadden van wespen en hoornaars. Hierdoor was het niet mogelijk om bij het zwembad te liggen
