Carmen est une hôte charmante, la vue depuis le gite sur le lac et les champs d'oliviers est magnifique, la piscine est très belle et appréciable les journées de fortes chaleurs, prendre ses repas dans la cour à l'ombre du figuier est très agréable, et la terrasse avec le jaccuzzi est un vrai plus !!

El entorno ideal, lo que íbamos buscando, unas vistas maravillosas y una tranquilidad absoluta. Sin duda repetiremos. ##### Francisco P.

Todo perfecto, la casa impecable, totalmente equipada, el jacuzzi muy cuidado y con una vistas impresionante. Por las noches da gusto dormir, ni un ruido. Las zonas comunes son preciosas y súper limpias. La piscina perfecta. Situado a una hora de Málaga y de Córdoba, viene de lujo para hacer alguna visita. La casera (Carmen), un encanto de mujer, siempre disponible y con una sonrisa en la cara. Este sitio es un lujo para pasar un fin de semana o un puente romántico y perfecto. 100% RECOMENDADO ##### Miguel O.

Nous recherchions avec un couple d'amis une maison calme ou se reposer. Que du plaisir, du calme ... fare niente Au debut nous avions envisagé de nombreuses sorties, finalement nous sommes restés sur place, nous etions trop bien. Calme, campagne, piscine, soleil, Andalucie ..... bref que du bonheur. Notre regret : ETRE RESTE QU'UNE SEULE SEMAINE Complexe de trois maisons, piscine partagée ##### marc M.

Todo ha sido perfecto desde el primer momento: la belleza, cuidado y situación de la casa, las vistas al pantano de Iznájar, la estupenda piscina, nuestro jacuzzi...y, por supuesto, la amabilidad, diligencia y esmero de Carmen y toda su familia (los higos que nos regaló estaban exquisitos). A la casa no le falta detalle y nos ha parecido un lugar magnífico para pasar unos días con niños pequeños. Se la recomendamos a todo aquel que quiera estar por Rute. Muchas gracias por todo, Carmen. ##### Francisco G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 20 Jul 2013 #### Te hacen sentir como en casa. Idílico fin de semana en la nueva suite El Granero del Alojamiento Rural El Rincón de Carmen. La mejor señal de haber pasado un buen fin de semana se confirma cuando tu hija de 7 años te pregunta: ¿Papi cuando volvemos otra vez? La respuesta fue: "hija muy pronto". Gracias a Carmen e Isidoro, las cosas que se hacen con cariño e ilusión, funcionan seguro. No duden en visitar este Alojamiento Rural.

La casa está completamente equipada, situada en la parte alta de la montaña, al lado de una carretera con muy poco tráfico, así que no hay ruidos que perturben el descanso. Disfrutamos del jacuzzi privado en la terraza, estupendo, pero la piscina común también es grande, bonita y cuidada. El trato de los propietarios es excelente y se preocupan por tener todo cuidado y a punto. En definitiva, una casa sin duda recomendable, excelente para viajar con niños y muy bien situada para viajar a muchas de las ciudades andaluzas. Rute es un pueblo pequeño, pero con bastantes servicios, y con un montón de buenas fábricas de dulces, ya que es una de sus actividades principales. Cerca, a 20Km, se encuentra Lucena, más grande y donde hay todo tipo de comercio. ##### Eugenio G.
