Fantastic, Idyllic, Wonderful. We could go on adding adjectives but they wouldn't do it justice. The location, grounds with many fruit trees, lovely clean pool and views are beautiful. The villa itself - extremely comfortable, very well furnished, even the sunbeds were extra comfortable. There is absolutely nothing one could have wanted that wasnt there. The owners have thought of everything. Jose, the owner, came by every few days and tended the pool and plants and was always helpful, very pleasant, and there when we needed him, Our holiday and the villa were an absolute delight. I dont want to say more because everyone will be booking and that wil make it difficult for us.

Mountainside retreat in an orchard overlooking the bay of La Herradura

The 6 kilometer drive up and down the mountains to the cortijo takes your breath away. It is a beautiful scenic drive with some dramatic hairpin turns. Hence the view from the house verandah is stunning. So beautiful to see the bay from up there and the air is so fresh to breathe. We picked fresh oranges, lemons, kumquats from the orchard. The garden had lettuce, collard greens and green onions which we enjoyed. Jose was very helpful. When we arrived, he had bought us some food supplies we needed since we came after local stores had closed for the weekend. He had a lovely bottle of red wine for us and looked after us very well. He also had a huge pile of wood on the property which we relied on to keep us warm during the evenings. We were there in mid January and February. The house is built to remain cool in the summer heat so it is dark inside and tends to be cold after the sun goes down in winter.. There are portable electric heaters available which did the job of keeping us warm in the bedroom at night. The location is superb for shopping and lunching in Almunecar or for short day trips to Nerja, Torrox Costa, Fuengirola and Salobrena.

Wir haben eine wunderbare, erholsame Woche im Ferienhaus verbringen dürfen. Die Vorabinfos zur Anreise waren absolut hilfreich und individuell auf unsere Reisepläne zugeschnitten. Das Haus selbst hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wichtig zu wissen: die Anreise von La Herradura zum Haus dauert ca. 10-15min, in der Nähe gibt es keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (also müssen Lebensmittel etc. schon vorab besorgt werden, sonst muss man doppelt hoch und runter fahren)...wir können die Unterkunft mit voller Überzeugung weiterempfehlen!!!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Cortijo Davila. L'annonce est conforme, la villa est très bien équipée et bien entretenue. La vue est magnifique! Ce n'était pas notre 1er séjour en Andalousie et nous pouvons donc dire que l'accès à la maison n'est pas si difficile.Communication avec l'hôte très facile, Merci Wolfang et José!

Nice and comfortable villa for a stay at Costa Tropical

Everything you need is available in the villa. Be aware of the steep and uncomfortable road from La Herradura to Cortijo Davila, it is 5 km long but you drive from Sea Level to altitude 600 meters.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
Its always nice to get a guest comment and read that they enjoyed to stay. Regarding the comment about the road driving up: one find it as spectacular with breathtaking views, the other describes it as uncomfortable. Fact is, it will take you out of civilization, climbing up to 480 m above sea level into an absolute natural and silent environment. The road is completely asphalted and in good condition, however, has some steep parts with curves. Most of the visitors love it to drive.

Ruhiger Urlaub in einem schönen Cortijo mitten in der Natur.

Wir haben zwei Wochen im Cortijo Davila verbracht, in denen alles mehr als positiv war. Die Informationen, die Fotos und die Beschreibung entsprechen der Realität und übertreffen diese sogar. Die Freundlichkeit der Besitzer, Jose und Adela, ist exquisit. Ein idealer Ort, der die Ruhe mit der Möglichkeit verbindet, in wenigen Minuten den Strand und die touristischen Attraktionen des Costa Tropical zu genießen. Zweifellos ein Ort zum erinnern und zum zurückkehren. Alex & Nieves

Schitterend huis, locatie en uitzicht!

Dit huis is een echte aanrader voor wie rust wil, gecombineerd met een panorama waar je niet op uitgekeken raakt. Vanop het heel ruime terras is het elke dag genieten. Alles is ruim aanwezig: borden, glazen, bestek, lakensets, handdoeken, noem maar op... Tevens super propere woning! Wij geven 10 sterren ipv 5 en zouden graag volgend jaar reeds willen terug gaan. De eigenaar, José, is een heel vriendelijke aangename man. Een woordje Spaans spreken is mooi meegenomen om met hem te kunnen converseren. Eén woord: super!

Traumhafter Platz zum Entspannen

Wir hatten sehr schöne 3 Wochen im Cortijo Davila. Alle Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Buchung wurden sehr schnell, freundlich und ausführlich von Wolfgang Schuster beantwortet. In La Herradura angekommen wurden wir von dem Vermieter José herzlich empfangen und zum Cortijo gebracht. Bei der ersten Auffahrt ist es ein recht abenteuerlicher Weg, aber es gibt schon die ersten grandiosen Aussichten auf die Bucht von La Herradura. Oben angekommen fanden wir ein schönes, sehr sauberes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Cortijo auf einem traumhaften Grundstück vor. Die Realität ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos dargestellt. Im Inneren ist es etwas dunkel, dafür ist es dort aber auch an sehr warmen Tagen angenehm kühl. Die Terrasse ermöglicht, dass man bei jedem Wetter draußen sein kann und seinen Urlaub genießen kann. Es gibt mehrere Wohlfühlecken mit sehr gemütlichen Gartenmöbeln und einem großen Grill. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf den hauseigenen Pool bis hin zum Meer ist atemberaubend. José hat uns regelmäßig besucht, um zu fragen, ob alles in Ordnung ist, den Pool zu säubern oder uns mit saisonalen Früchten zu verwöhnen. Alles in allem ein rundum gelungener Urlaub. Wir würden das Cortijo und seine Vermieter / Betreuer jederzeit weiterempfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!

Fantastisch huis, weg van de drukte.

Prachtig huis met een enorme veranda welke een spectaculair uitzicht geeft op de bergen de zee en La Herradura. Het huis ligt afgelegen en is te bereiken via een smalle bergweg in 15 minuten van La Heradura. De huis is erg stijlvol ingericht en wordt met liefde verzorgt. Op de veranda en rond het zwembad staan mooie planten. De slaapkamers zijn ruim en de bedden zijn goed. De Keuken goed ingericht en er is prima WIFI in het hele huis en op de veranda. De eigenaar is een zeer vriendelijke man die echt wil dat alles in en rond het huis goed werkt en in orde is. Wij komen zeker terug!

Sehr schön!

Es war ein wundervoller 3-wöchiger Aufenthalt. Alle positiven Bewertungen können wir bestätigen. José ist in jeder Hinsicht sehr aufmerksam, überaus freundlich und ein toller Gastgeber. Aber auch die tolle Vermittlung von Herrn Schuster und seine stets freundliche Art auch auf die x. Mail noch gelassen zu antworten :-), möchte ich nicht unerwähnt lassen. Einzig die auf der Karte angezeigte Lage könnte missverständlich sein, da das Cortijo sich nördlich der Autobahn befindet, daher auch die 8km Entfernung, die aber mit dem Leihwagen sehr gut zu meistern sind und eben den mehrfach angesprochenen atemberaubenden Ausblick, schon während der Fahrt, bieten. Fazit: absolut empfehlenswert!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
Es freut uns natürlich immer, wenn die Gäste sich in unserem mit viel Liebe und auch Mühe gestalteten und gepflegten Landhaus wohlfühlen und schöne Ferientage dort verbringen konnten. Auf die Lage in der Karte im fewo-System haben wir leider nur sehr geringen Einfluß. Das Cortijo Davila liegt wie beschrieben ca. 8 km landein- und aufwärts von der Küste. Ist sehr gut über die durchgehend asphaltierte Straße zu erreichen und bietet den erwähnt atemberaubenden Ausblick auf das Dorf La Herradura und seine bezaubernde Bucht. Sie sind uns jederzeit wieder herzlich als unsere Gäste willkommen.
