Beautiful place. There were twelve of us staying for a week and there is so much space (inside and outside) that we never felt crowded. Very quiet place but only 10 minutos away from El Gastor. We will definitely come back.

Great place, highly recommended for the nature and the swimming pool
We stayed in Casa Grande/El Cortijo of Los Agarrobales near El Gastor for 15 days. We just left the place but are ready to go back. The house is big enough for a large family, the views from the main lounge are just fantastic, and the private swimming pool and the gardens are just a dream. It is a great place for a family retreat as wll as a good anchoring point for those who want to explore the beautiful region of Grazalema Mountains and Ronda. It is about 3kms from the EL Gastor village, by an unpaved road, but even we, with our Jaguar, could make it. For shopping, it is quite possibe to find a lot of things in the village. The other option is to drive 25minutes to Olvera and go the better supplied sopermerket chain there.

El paraiso!!
En una palabra ¡Impresionante! espectacular el trato recibido, la limpieza,.. las habitaciones son enormes, decoradas con mucho gusto y con unas vistas que ni los mejores cuadros la tienen. Es ideal para ir con familia o amigos, en plena naturaleza. Estuvimos un fin de semana y se nos hizo corto, nos hemos quedado con ganas de más, así que repetiremos seguro. En verano se está muy bien por la piscina pero estoy segura que en invierno tiene que ser chulísimo!! Lo recomendamos al 100x100!!!
