CASA RURAL PARA FAMILIAS

DavidRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Un sitio muy tranquilo. Las camas de la casa muy cómodas y todo limpio. Antonio y Fátima son personas muy agradables y han estado pendientes. Por poner una pequeña pega, creo que falta algo de menaje en la cocina (cucharas de madera para cocinar y algún cuchillo grande de sierra) y no conseguimos hacer funcionar la bañera de hidromasaje. Por lo general, todo bastante bien. Si volvemos por la zona contaremos con la casa de Antonio y Fátima para alojarnos.

A holiday home is showcased with peach-colored exterior walls and a tiled roof. A fenced pool area is visible, featuring steps leading into the water. The well-manicured lawn complements the outdoor space, while a dining set is placed on the terrace, providing a view of the surroundings.

CASA PUERTA AZUL Casas Vejer Debra BEST OF VEJER!

AyeshaRating, 5 stars38 months ago

What a magical place! Right in the heart of picturesque Juderia, this gorgeous home is a work of art. Every inch of the house, or houses (depending on how you divide them) has been lovingly chosen with an artist’s eye and a collector’s passion. Every piece of wood, every tile, every lamp is a manifestation of a creative spirit. Beyond her aesthetic artistry, Debra is a charming and generous host. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt really cared for and looked-after throughout the whole trip. And the town itself is a jewel. This is a truly exceptional place to stay.

Spacious Cortijo with private pool on eco finca

MarinaRating, 5 stars58 months ago

El Cortijo is an absolutely lovely house on a gorgeous finca! Romantic and authentic! House is extremely well kept and superbly equipped. Highly recommended for a family vacation if u like nature in style and a certain degree of isolation. Only downside I can think of were the mosquitoes, which swarm in after sunset and do not allow for dinners outside.
