About this property

"Encina Gorda" Country House, ideal for enjoying peace and privacy.

The house is accessed from a terrace to the kitchen-dining room with a large window that gives us light and a wide landscape. Descending some steps we reach the living room where we find the home and the exit to another terrace with barbecue; It also has large windows. We also descend to the ground floor where we find a double bedroom, another with two beds and a bathroom.
Parties or events are not allowed.
Finally, to say that it is an energy-efficient autonomous home, since solar energy is what provides us with both light, sanitary water and heating; the latter with a support of a propane boiler. That is why a greater responsibility is demanded in the use and consumption of energy, without this meaning making a rational and ordinary use of it.

We had a very relaxing time at Antonio’s house. He was delightful, very helpful and kind although we had to use our phones to translate. The view from the house is fantastic and we enjoyed sitting on the two terraces. We loved the cats visiting us, too. Thank you for a wonderful stay in this beautiful part of Spain!

Great location and good value for money

In general we believe this property is good value for money. It is very well located between the coast, the mountains and Granada. It offers an easy possibility to discover the Granada provence. The house is very well equiped, including with a washing machine. It has a very nice terrace with a great view. We did find out that the house is located in a valley with a high way. The sounds of nature are therefore mixed with the sound of the high way. During our stay, we got used to the sound of the high way so nature sounds increased in our attention. Also bear in mind that you do need a car to go up and down from village to the property. The property is outside of the village located in beautiful olive, orange and citron trees surrounding. Its terraces are located in such a way that you have sun in the morning and in the afternoon. The swimming pool was out of service. The property owner spends his weekends in his cottage that is on the same property. Since we really enjoyed our stay, we rate the property 4 stars out of five.

Agradezco el comentario del Sr. Coppens y me satisface que hay a disfrutado de su estancia en mi propiedad. Sólo añadir, que se puede llegar al pueblo a pié dando un cómodo paseo, si no se viene con compra. Agradecido, Antonio Mingorance.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Check-in, communication

Mixed feeling

Let's start about the arrival. No precise address, but we have to come at the roundabout at the entry of the village and then call. "I'll arrive in 20 min" the owner says. We have to wait in the burning sun, even if we did send the time of our arrival. Then we follow the owner on small streets and roads. We arrive to the villa. The view is beautiful. The house is very nice. The owner talks a little french and explain the instructions. We ask about garbage, he said that we can leave it at the back and animals will eat it. It seemed strange but indeed after each day the rest of our meals was eaten. So not a bad idea eventually. Except the fact that after we left, we were blame for doing as instructed. Our stay there was ok. We had a nice sun, but the situation of the house made that we have no sun quite early and no sunset that we love. The double bed is very small and not comfortable. The pool was ok. 167cm depth so pay attention to children. 400 cm diameter so not big enough to really swim. The filter system was not working very well. When we left the house everything was fine for the owners and so they returned the deposit. We shaked hand and wished luck. . Later, we got remarks also about the doors of the cupboard below the sink. Water got there. Not a surprise if there is no dish drying rack. The owners said that most people do not cook there. Really odd for a villa in the middle of the mountain. So it was not a bad experience but not a very good one neither.

Das Haus von Antonio ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Einzig ein Backofen fehlt, was aber total zu verschmerzen ist. Wichtig (obwohl es in der Beschreibung steht, mir war es dennoch vorher nicht ganz klar): Das Haus arbeitet Autark. Man muss also wirklich auf den Energieverbrauch achten, da der Strom aus der Solaranlage kommt. Das Haus verfügt aber über einen Energiespeicher. Auch wichtig: Der Weg zum Haus hat es in sich, das Auto darf nicht zu groß sein. Die Wege im Dorf sind etwas über 2 m breit. Ich würde denken, größer als ein Golf sollte das Auto nicht sein, sonst könnte es knapp werden. Bei der Konstruktion des Hauses hat Antonio sich viel bei gedacht, das merkt man. Es ist mit unheimlich viel Liebe eingerichtet. Antonio spricht nur spanisch und etwas französisch, dank Google Translator konnten wir dennoch kommunizieren. Antonio war immer für uns erreichbar und half uns bei allem. Er ist ein super lieber Mensch und trotz der Sprachbarriere hatten wir tolle Gespräche. Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub und wir sind ihm für alles sehr, sehr dankbar.

Emplacement, incroyable au milieu de la montagne entourée d’oliviers d’orangers et de citronniers. L’épicerie du village permet de s’approvisionner avec tous les produits de qualité. Réception, conseils, échanges en français avec notre hôte Antonio très appréciable. Bref, merveilleux séjour !

Wir waren eine Woche in Antonios Ferienhaus. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.Das Haus liegt ruhig und idyllisch zwischen Oliven-, Zitronen- und Orangenbäumen. Von der Terrasse aus hat man einen tollen Blick ins Tal auf den Stausee. Das nächste Dorf ist circa fünf Minuten vom Haus entfernt. Das Auto sollte nicht zu groß sein, da die Straße recht eng ist.

Muy agusto

Estuvimos 10 noches en Agosto y muy agusto. Antonio y Rosa fueron muy atentos y simpáticos en todo momento. Nos trajeron higos y uvas del terreno y un día cenamos con ellos en Lanjarón. La casa es tal y como sé ve en las fotos y tiene unas vistas al lago muy relajantes. La piscina está vallada lo que hace que sea seguro para los niños. Tiene una profundidad de 1,65 y hay una ducha exterior para aclararse. Para ser una zona tan calurosa sobre todo en agosto, corre bastante brisa y se está muy agusto. Las ventanas tienen mosquiteras. Como dicen en otros comentarios, es cierto que la entrada en coche a la casa es un poco complicada y da sensación la primera vez. Pero luego ya no parece para tanto y se llega sin problema. En resumen todo muy bien

Heel prettig verblijf

We hebben drie fijne weken gehad in dit verblijf. De ruimtes waren schoon en ruim. Het zwembad voldeed aan onze verwachtingen. De omgeving was prachtig, er zijn leuke wandelingen te maken vanaf het huis. Rondom het huis zijn diverse fruitbomen en dat is heel leuk. In het stuwmeer beneden kan je heerlijk kanoën. Verder is in het nabije dorp alles wat je nodig hebt.

Die perfekte Unterkunft, wenn man Ruhe sucht

Wir haben schon oft Ferienhäuser gebucht, aber dieses ist wirklich etwas Besonderes: Die Lage ist einzigartig, man wohnt in einer absolut ruhigen Umgebung mit phantastischem Weitblick. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, es gibt genug Platz und Antonio ist ein netter, hilfsbereiter und vor allem witziger Gastgeber. Wir haben uns über eine Übersetzungs-App verständigt, da wir kein Spanisch und er kein Englisch spricht, aber das hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Besonders schön an der Unterkunft sind die 5 Katzen, die sehr zutraulich sind und immerzu schmusen wollen.

Petit coin de paradis

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans cet belle propriété. Antonio et Rosa sont adorables et disponibles si besoin. Notre fils de 8 ans a adoré accompagner Antonio dans les diverses activités du domaines. La vue est magnifique du matin au soir. Il y a toujours une terrasse ombragée pour nous apporter de la fraicheur. Le logement est très bien équipé. La piscine est parfaite pour le logement Nous avons bien profité des chaises longues à l'ombre des citronniers/oliviers/orangers. Le village est accessible à pieds (20 min pour aller à la boulangerie et l'épicerie) ou en voiture (5min) . La route est suprenante au premier abord mais on s'y fait très vite. Le village est idéalement situé à 5min de l'autoroute qui mène à Grenade ou Motril. Bref un sejour parfait pour nous. Merci Rosa et Antonio!

Estancia perfecta

El alojamiento se encuentra en plena naturaleza. Cuenta con todo lo necesario para hacer que la estancia sea perfecta. Al entrar a la casa, se ve que esta cuidada la limpieza y el estado de la misma. Antonio y Rosa fueron de lo mas atentos y encantadores durante toda la estancia. He leido en opiniones que el camino de acceso no es bueno, y es cierto que no es el mejor del mundo pero tampoco es un problema y si quieres tener una estancia en una casa en mitad del campo, en plena naturaleza no puedes llegar en autopista... La piscina estuvo genial y perfectamente limpia en todo momento. Si volvemos por Granada, no dudaría en volver.
