About this property

Charming 19th century stone built cottage. Magnificent location

La Majada Alta is situated within a National Park, and stands in several thousand square metres of private grounds in an exceptionally beautiful area of mountains and lakes. The cottage is ideal for those who will enjoy the relaxing sounds of goat bells or the call of the eagle owl or the sight of eagles drifting overhead. This is also an ideal base for the more active visitor who will find satisfaction from the beautiful walks, the lakes, the white villages, the famous gorge at El Chorro, or the fantastic limestone formations at El Torcal.
If you believe in magic you will love La Majada Alta cottage.

Exceptional place in Andalusia near Caminito Del Rey

This was our second time staying at this beautiful place in the Andalusian countryside. Last time was winter which we loved at this time it was early summer which was also excellent as we were able to use the pool. The house is big enough for a number of people with three bedrooms and two large bathrooms. But it’s the location that is really spectacular. The view of the mountain right outside your door will stay with you long after you leave. The host is always helpful and on hand if you need anything. I am sure we will be going there again soon

A dream house

What a charming cottage in a wonderful environment! We had a superb time. Colin and Francesca are great hosts, caring and making sure we felt comfortable at any time. We came to El Chorro for rock climbing and could explore the cliff right above the house!

Paradisiac cottage surrounded with nature

We, a young family + 86 year old granny, had a fantastic and relaxing stay with stunning views around the house. Very comfortable beds, great kitchen for the cooking fans that we are. Colin was so kind to us and of great help during our stay. We will definitely be back :) Thank you so much!
