Casa de pueblo con acceso a servicios y piscina privada en Gaucín

We had a lovely week in Gaucin, our favourite place to go on holiday. First time in this house though. The web description and photos are accurate and it's a pretty house with a beautiful garden. The kitchen was well equipped. A few niggles: There was no information pack in the house. Thankfully we know the village well so didn't need recommendations but we were surprised there was no information about things like doctors or what to do with rubbish. We asked prior to arrival if there would be any food left. We were correctly told there would be nothing, but told we'd be able to stop off at a supermarket en route. However they were all closed! Seems they close at 3pm on Sundays. Thankfully we had some biscuits with us and a dinner reservation that night! The pool area is small but adequate. It's a shame that there were only two sunloungers for a house that sleeps six! And the pool is shaded until the afternoon. It's also really hard to get into, the steps are deep and there's no handrail. Might be worth pointing this out - anyone with mobility issues would really struggle! We didn't find it hard to park up by the cemetery, always found an empty spot. It's quite a steep walk up to that point - again not easy if your knees aren't too great! Rustical Travel's guide to the village is very out of date - the 'new' restaurant has been closed for about ten years! In short, it's a nice house but could be improved with a few little changes!"

Hemos pasado 9 días en este alojamiento. Ha sido todo perfecto. la casa está perfectamente equipada y decorada con esmero. Las camas muy cómodas. Es amplia y tiene un precioso jardín con piscina. Está cerca de numerosos bares y restaurantes en un pueblo blanco precioso. Se puede hacer rutas de senderismo y hace fresquito en pleno agosto. Todo inmejorable. Muy recomendable. Un 10!!!"

We have had the best week at this amazing house. Beautiful both inside and out - very true to the pictures. Brilliantly stocked with everything you could need from kitchen to garden furniture, gas barbecue, books and games. Erika, the host was most helpful guiding us to the house through the maze of streets and prompt to respond to any problems. The pool was just big enough for our teenage kids to play in and us to cool off. So many different areas to relax in from bedroom balconies and terraces to watch the sun go down to cosy snugs for reading in the lounge. Short walk to restaurants and up to the castle. Parking possible nearby. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Highly recommended."
