Great house with tremendous view in peaceful location

Well equipped and very clean property, exactly as described by friendly and welcoming owners - willing to help with anything. Stunning views and sunsets. Shaded areas for when the sun gets too much. Strong wifi. Good air conditioning. Lovely pool. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended - would be very pleased to return for another visit.

A lovely house in a beautiful location, with great owners

We had a fantastic fortnight here. Six adults and two young children enjoyed it tremendously. We had a warm and hospitable welcome from J. Carlos and his family, who brought food and drinks for our arrival. We loved just getting away from it all, taking in the views, the swimming pool and the weather. If you wanted to explore more there's plenty to do but a quick trip to Granada and another to the beach was enough for us. We definitely recommend it - certainly if you are keen to get away from the hustle and bustle (and the masses) of the more touristed coast.

Heaven!

Beautiful location, wonderful hosts. We were a group of eight people and all had plenty of room to rest, relax and enjoy. Very clean, with all the amenities you need. The location allows for day trips to smaller cities in the area (Rute, Lucena, Priego de Cordoba etc.) and even the larger cities like Granada, Cordoba and Malaga. Wonderful to come back to this spot at the end of a day of sight-seeing, so quiet and the view is out of this world. Pour yourself a glass of Rioja and watch the sunset! Thanks again to Carlos and Francesca, such wonderful people!!

Pleasant stay here!

We stayed at Juan‘s house for a couple of weeks in the summer and really enjoyed it! The house is spacious and leaves more than enough room for everybody. Our personal highlights were the two terraces on the upper floor and at the front porch, both with beautiful views of the lake, especially during sunset. The pool is big as well and nicely designed with steps rather than a ladder and a beautiful floor. Personally, we did not use the indoor dining table, but in the rare case of bad weather it should also provide a nice alternative to the outside terrace. Lastly, the family of Juan were the most welcoming hosts imaginable, they came from time to time in order to clean or do maintenance work on the pool, sometimes they even brought us fruit or local goods, which we really enjoyed! All in all we can only recommend Juan‘s house and still have a lot of beautiful memories from our vacation there!

Wonderful Experience

It was such an honor to meet our hosts, Juan Carlos and his family. They are the most kind and warm, hardworking, representing the best of Andalusia. The view was just incredible, surrounded by olive trees with mountains and lake, everyone in our group were awed by the beauty of the surrounding. The place is conveniently located between Granada and Cordoba, making day trips possible. The house has everything our group of 8 adults needed. Markets and restaurants are all within minutes of driving. I hope to come back to this incredible place and incredible people.

Sunsets!

We had a brilliant time visiting Andalusia thank you. We will be back to see so much more. The villa was spot on, had everything we needed. The hosts were great and accommodating of our late arrival. Juan was quick to reply to all our messages. Lovely guy! We enjoyed days around the pool and visiting the area. The adrenaline ride on the last 200m was even fun once we were sure. The pictures, though spectacular, do not even do justice to the views. Just amazing vista across the lake. We sat every evening just marvelling at the sunset. Thank you Juan and your family.

Peaceful location, fabulous views and authentically Spain

Ruben and Carlos were attentive hosts. We appreciated the welcoming beer, cheese and melon. It was a fabulous property with plenty of space although difficult to find, maybe a sign at the top of the steep driveway would be useful as you can't see the villa from the top. We managed not having a 4x4 but needed a car with a bit more power than our rental car. The villa is amongst olive groves on the side of a hill and away from it all, perfect for what we wanted. The views of the sunsets over the lake were glorious. The bread van was a delight.The supermarket at Rute was easy to get to and sufficient for our needs. We visited Alhambra and Cordoba both within easy reach and the town of Iznajar was charming. We also found horse riding within a short drive. All in all it was a superb holiday. Thank you Ruben and Carlos

A large, well equipped house in a quiet location with lovely views.

The house is as described and pictured - spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. Juan Carlos was a delightful host and that, combined with the comfortable, well equipped house, made for a lovely relaxing holiday. He was particularly kind to us when we had to postpone our holiday 2 years in succession due to Covid restrictions. The views from the terrace meant we spent lovely evenings gazing at the view. The swimming pool allowed us to cool down in the hot weather and there was always a shady spot to sit and enjoy the breeze when it got hot. It is a very quiet, rural area with lovely, scenic, white villages to visit. We had previously visited Cordoba before staying at the house and this made for a good split between city sightseeing and rural tranquility. There is very good supermarket – Mercadona – in Rute (15 mins away) where we were able to buy excellent supplies for when we wanted to cook or make ourselves salads etc. They also have a good range of ready to eat meals including fresh pizzas, pastas etc. The nearby local restaurant – El Charcon – serves wonderful Spanish food – ideal for meat and fish eaters, although there are non-meat options. Our view is that most portions would happily feed 2! Nice restaurants in Iznajar as well. An ideal place for people who want rural tranquility, although Iznajar and Rute are both within 15 minutes easy drive and it is possible to drive to Cordoba or Granada within about an hour or so. Definitely somewhere to return to.

The house was perfect! Spectacular and amazing home, and caring and attentive host! We loved it!

There is so much we can say... Iznájar and this home made for one of the best trips ever. Where to begin... We loved staying here. My husband, my boys, and I had an amazing time. The view was spectacular! The views during the morning, day, and sunsets made for an unforgettable breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The sunsets were just beautiful! The house was perfect and incredibly peaceful. We were happy to be away from our city lives. The town and the people were lovely and very friendly. We ate at one of the restaurant Carlos recommended and the food was delicious and plenty. We took some for lunch the next day. We shopped in Rute, 12 minutes away, and the small shop, which is located in the center of the street. The owner and the older gentlemen were nice to talk too. Carlos and his family were very welcoming and so wonderful. They welcomed us with cheese, fruits, Jamon. They were very accommodating and helped us getting around. We felt like we were with family. Carlos’ dad gave us fruits for our trip. He reminded us of our beautiful grandparents back in our parents native country. The hardest thing for us was leaving and saying good-bye to Carlos, his family, the house, and the sunsets. This was my first time staying in HomeAway, and we are so happy we found this home but most importantly Carlos and his family. We will be returning soon. Thank you Carlos and family for your hospitality, and thank you to Iznájar for making this one of the most memorable vacations for us. We’ve been to many places but this was truly a home away from home with the beauty and splendor that this home offers.

Ein echter Geheimtipp

Wir wurden auch zur späten Stunde sehr herzlich begrüßt. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und stets zur Stelle, wenn wir etwas Wissen wollten. Das große Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet und absolut sauber. Am Pool und am Esstisch gab es viele Schattenplätze. Der Blick von der Veranda war atemberaubend. Wir haben jeden Abend den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang und den klaren Nachthimmel genossen.

Wunderbare Villa mit phantastischem Ausblick!!

Das Haus ist in einem hervorragendem Zustand. Handwerklich ist es wunderbar hergerichtet. Wir haben uns zwei Wochen lang rundum wohlgefühlt. Vom Pool aus kann man die Sonne zwischen den Hügeln untergehen sehen. Juan ist ein toller Gastgeber - per WhatsApp/SMS stets erreichbar. Die Umgebung bietet Möglichkeiten des täglichen Einkaufs (Mercadona), tolle Restaurants und auch mehrere Tankstellen (auch mit DKV). Für Tagesausflüge sind die Städte Malaga, Granada und auch Sevilla mit dem Auto sehr gut erreichbar und eine Reise wert! Vielen Dank für den tollen Urlaub, Juan!

Incredible property and location. The views from the outside terrace breathtaking.

We had a fabulous time at the villa. Peace and tranquility combined with good access to the surrounding tourist areas of Córdoba, Granada, Malaga and Antequera. The small town of Iznajar also worth a visit. We highly recommend this villa.

Lovely house with magnificent views

We had a wonderful time at Juan Carlos’s place! There was 10 of us - 6 adults and 4 children and the house was just the right size for such a group. There’s everything you need - plenty of pots and pans and cutlery, oven, microwave and a special equipment to make paella! Outside there’s a barbacue and we used it to grill some fresh fish. Washing machine proved very useful during our 2 weeks stay, espescially as some of us only had hand luggage. We even used the swimming pool though the water was still quite cold at the time of our stay in the first half of April. The view is the biggest asset of the house - watching a sunset every day was my favourite entertainment. Although there isn’t a proper garden at the property there are plenty of walking paths nearby offering beautiful views of the Sierra Subbettica and Iznajar. The house is quite secluded, located on a hill. If you want to get to the lake or Iznajar you probably need a car as it’s about 5km away on a hilly terrain. There’s a lovely restaurant nearby (40 min walk or few min drive), great supermarket is in Rute (about 15 min drive). Nearby town of Iznajar is beautiful and well worth a visit as well as Cabra, Lucena and Zuheros (a bit further away, highly recommend visiting nearby cave). We also visited lovely Cordoba, Grenada (about an hour drive) and magnificent Seville (2 hour drive). One day we went at the seaside - closest beach is in Malaga but we decided to go a little further (1.5 hour drive) to lovely Nerja which has a number of well maintained beaches. We also highly recommend visiting Subbettica Nature Reserve - the mountains and the nature are absolutely stunning and there are plenty of hiking and walking paths (ask at Tourist Information in Rute or Iznajar for tips). Few of us brought bikes and enjoyed cycling in the area - it is very safe as the locals are used to cyclists and there are signs everywhere. There are also paths for mountain bikes. In summary - there’s so much to do that we easily filled every day of our 2 week stay with activities and still hadn’t explored everything! The first couple of days and nights were rainy and cold and it took a while for the fireplace to heat up the house so that was a slight inconvenience, espescially given the fact that there were small children in the group. The other little problem was with hot water - it would take a while to get hot water from the tap. But overall we can’t complain. It was a beautiful stay! Thank you Carlos!

Magnifica vivienda en el corazon de Andalucia

La vivienda es una pasada. Esta ubicada en el corazón de Andalucia y esta cerca(a 1 hora de Granada, Cordoba & Malaga) Tiene mucho espacio y muchos servicios disponibles para poder disfrutarla(barbacoa, piscina, mesa de ping pong etc) Juan Carlos es super amable y flexible, por culpa del trafico hemos llegado super tarde pero el nos recibió con una sonrisa y mucho cariño. Seguro que en algún momento volveré a reservar la casa teniendo en cuenta la experencia que tuve con Juan Carlos.

Simply amazing

What a wonderful house! We had the best time at Juan Carlos’ beautiful home. First off, Juan Carlos and his wife were truly lovely and we enjoyed speaking with them and appreciate them making conversation with us despite our limited Spanish. The house is just gorgeous - it’s absolutely quiet and tranquil. The view is even more beautiful than the pictures show. The house itself is very comfortable with numerous bedrooms, a living room/dining room, full kitchen and a beautiful deck with a grill and a pool. There is a beautiful town about a 10 minute drive with plenty of grocery stores and restaurant options. We actually stayed here and took day trips to Grenada and Sevilla (1-2 hours away by car). We hope to come back and stay here and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a tranquil retreat in Spain.
