Very peaceful and relaxing week

La Casita Bonita is well equipped and has everything you need. It's in a beautiful location with wonderful views and is so peaceful to make a relaxing stay, but not too far away from bars and restuarants in an authentic real Spanish village - the best of both worlds. It is ideally situated to explore the western part of Andalucia We thoroughly enjoyed our week spent here. As others have said, Heli is lovely and makes it a very stress free experience all round. We don't normally go back to somewhere we've been before - but we would here, without hesitation Thanks Heli :)

Just go!

What a wonderful week and such a warm welcome from Heli who clearly knows the balance between being available if needed and allowing privacy to enjoy this super cabin and pool. We would recommend a car. It allowed us to make the short trips to the coast, the lakes and to visit nearby towns. The village of Monda is a 10 min drive and though tight parking, it is a place to visit for a coffee and snack - there are a few restaurants in the village. However, this little oasis was so restful that we felt disinclined to leave it and self-catered for the whole week, much to our surprise. We had no trouble negotiating the narrow steep road which led to the property and there are a few steps down to get to the log cabin (and therefore up). During our week’s stay, temperatures on some days exceeded 40C and so the cabin became very hot but the immediate surrounds, with plenty of shaded areas and a number of sunbeds in different spots allowed for outdoor living - and of course the pool was a godsend. There’s a comfy sofa on the veranda and an outdoor dining area next to the BBQ, great for late evening dining. The cabin had everything we needed to be self-sufficient after the odd visit to the supermarket in Coin. The fan and an aircon unit, were effective during the evening, and as nighttime temperatures dropped, sleeping wasn’t an issue (and what a comfy bed!). Away from the hustle and bustle of life, we will certainly be visiting here again. Thank you, Heli, and see you soon.

Wunderschöne Auszeit

Die Zeit in der Unterkunft haben wir sehr genossen. Es ist eine sehr liebevoll gestaltete "Holzhütte" mit allem was man so braucht. Besonders der Außenbereich lädt zum enstspannen und relaxen ein. Der Pool und alles was dazu gehört ist unglaublich schön, für jeden gibt es ein Plätzchen zum wohlfühlen. Wir haben diese Zeit zum entspannen geplant und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Auch unserer Gastgeberin war jederzeit sehr bemüht, uns unseren Urlaub so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Sie ist eine sehr herzliche Person und wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt bei. Wir werden mit Sicherheit nochmal wieder kommen.

Une petite location simple mais pleine de charme et très bien équipée. Il y a tout pour passer d 'agréables vacances et le petit plus la piscine privative. Au calme dans la nature. Mais aussi découverte de la région en faisant quelques petits kilomètres. Héli est une hôte vraiment très adorable et accueillante. Elle a pensé à tout, dehors comme dedans afin de rendre le séjour des plus confortable et reposant et de s 'y sentir chez soi ; sans oublier Bella pour des moments ronrons. :) Nous recommandons sans hésitation la casita bonita .

Een klein paradijsje in de bergen

We hebben genoten van de prachtige plek, het gezellige huisje en de rust. De gastvrijheid van Helen is super, haar kook kunsten heerlijk! Voor mensen die rust zoeken maar ook de nabijheid van de drukte en gezelligheid is dit een aanrader. Voor ons voor herhaling vatbaar! Bedankt Helen.

Ideal spot for walkers

The 'cabin' was cosy and had all that we needed, including good cooking equipment for 'home cooked meals'. It is located in a beautifully peaceful spot on the hillside and yet is close to many attractions including the fantastic gorge walk of Canimito del Rey. There are also lovely local walks from the cabin, or near by. Heli was extremely friendly and helpful too. A car is extremely useful, given its location.

Cette location fut une des meilleures que nous ayons eu!! L emplacement est incroyable avec la vue sur les montagnes, la piscine privative est incroyable et la location est propre, bien aménagée, bien équipée! Nous avons passé une semaine de détente et nous avons pu nous ressourcer grâce à Heli qui est aux petits soins de ces hôtes. Elle répond à toutes les questions/besoins, elle est réactive et toujours de bonne humeur! C est une gérante idéale☺️ De plus, elle propose des massages qui sont de VRAIS massages qui permettent de se détendre .

a quiet and relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle

The property while close to the main house is really lovely...Heli and Garry make you really feel at home there. In saying that they are not in the least bit intrusive and will only engage with you if you need something .....and then they are extremely helpful....even a lift to the pub .....and back ...!!!!!! Heli is a real Gem and her skills in lots of areas are fantastic... we are an active couple in our late 50 s and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Great spot in the hills near Monda

Had a great week in the sun here. Superb place for relaxing with loads of outside space and pool to cool down in. The owners are great and strike the right balance between being there when you need them but respecting your privacy during your stay. The view from the BBQ spot would make you think you're in the middle of nowhere but in reality you're no more than ten minutes from Monda village. Having stayed in a few places within 30 mins drive of this one, this is probably the most quiet spot so ideal if that'e what you're aiming for. The place was also well kitted out with everything we needed to cook. Overall a great stay, highly recommended.
