Casa Principal

The main house at luxury villa rental ronda

 

Originally a finca (farm/ranch), La Cazalla stands seemingly-alone in a scenic fertile valley, just 10 minutes' drive from the historical and fascinating town of Ronda. The main house and surrounding buildings of this luxury holiday rental blend naturally into the landscape, having been built around the native rock (see photos of our living areas within the main house). With a total of six bedrooms, our home is perfect for families, friends and group activities for up to 12 people looking for a private villa in Andalusia.

We grow our own organic olives, apricots, pears, figs, citrus fruits, walnuts and almonds, quince, persimmon, blackberries, mulberries and raspberries (making delicious jams/jellies!) and lavender (scented sachets under your pillow are renowned for aiding relaxation and a good night's sleep). 

 
 

The main house is elegant, cool and spacious, with many different areas for a large group to spread out and relax. Discover three tastefully-furnished living areas on split levels, a kitchen and a dining room, providing plenty of space for your family and friends to read, play card games, watch a film or listen to music. Sleep soundly in the five double or twin bedrooms with en suite bathrooms containing beautiful mosaic tiled walk-in showers and adjustable mood lighting. And yes, there is WiFi!

 
 
 

El NidO

Our one bedroom private suite

The Casa Principal is always rented along with El Nido, which is a large air-conditioned private suite attached to the main house. The suite has its own entrance, pretty terrace and bathroom (with the same mosaic tiled walk-in showers as the main house), and contains a TV, WiFi, wireless speakers, and has its own kettle and fridge. A perfect place for members of your group who need or desire a space of their own with the benefit of air conditioning.

Los Jardines

Our Grounds

 

Outside Areas

Our Roman-inspired pool is only heated naturally by the sun, but it is surrounded by fragrant lavender and stunning views.  For your comfort there are:

  • 12 sun loungers

  • Garden seats and a table

  • Shaded areas

  • Gas barbeque

  • Cold freshwater showers fed straight from our spring

and many different terraces surround the house, with areas for relaxing, dining, snoozing and admiring the view.  You will also find a selection of outdoor games, such as boules and badminton.

Los Jardines

There are so many different spots to choose from, you’ll be hard-pressed deciding what to do!

  • Follow our Nature Trail all around our 13 acres 

  • Read in the lounge chairs on the terrace

  • Dine under the vine-covered pergola

  • Search for tadpoles in the stream

  • Stroll along to the 12th Century ‘alberca’ ('water cistern')

We recommend taking a drink up to the old threshing circle and watch the sun change the colours of the gorge from orange to pink. If you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of the deer as the owls start hooting.

 

Notes & Suitability

The house is very cool, even though only the kitchen and El Nido have air-conditioning. All of the bedrooms have efficient ceiling fans with three speeds and remote control. As long as you close all the windows after breakfast, open them only when the sun is low, and leave them open all night long, the house will remain at a comfortably fresh temperature. All the windows are protected with insect screens. 

Children are welcome and while pets are not normally allowed, we will consider if you wish to bring your dog - please just check with us first. Unfortunately the property is not accessible by wheelchair. There is no smoking inside the house.
