A beautiful villa in a lovely location. The pool was fabulous and well used throughout the stay. You might want to hire a car with a bit of oomph to get up to the villa. Lovely night sky for stargazing. Certainly somewhere we would like to stay again.

We had an amazing time at this place. It is exactly what we love, very private, surrounded by nature, close to town by car if needed. Everything what you need is on the property, every day it is possible to eat in a different corner with a different view. Love the garden, the details of the place. I recommend it for the people who like peace and quiet, relaxing atmosphere in a feel like home surrounding.

Tranquil and beautiful place nestled away from tourist and noise, but also close enough to head to the beach or into town whenever we felt like it. Just what we wanted. The pool area overlooking the valley was stunning, and the house had all necessities. Ps: a car is needed.

We have just had the best holiday. The Villa was super clean with amazing outdoor space! The photos just don’t do it justice. It’s private and peaceful, set in beautiful scenery. Lovely to have Frigiliana a short drive away for meals out and wandering around the shops. We loved walking to the restaurant in The Lost Village. Everything was thought about on this holiday with lots of care and help from Ralph and the team. Thank you! Would be back in a heartbeat!

WUNDERBAR!

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub an diesem paradiesischen Ort. Das Haus samt Pool und Garten ist wunderschön, sehr sauber und wer Ruhe, Abgeschiedenheit und den Kontakt zu Natur sucht ist hier genau richtig. Das Tolle daran ist zusätzlich: In 10 Minuten ist man im bezaubernden Frigiliana oder in Acebuchal (fantastisches Restaurant, tolle Wandermöglichkeiten), in gut 20 Minuten am Meer. Besser geht es nicht. Der Weg zum Haus selber erscheint einem am Anfang steil, man gewöhnt sich daran und wir empfehlen ein Auto mit Bodenfreiheit und einem guten Motor. Wir sind damit super klar gekommen! Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei Ralph für die super Kommunikation und bei Lucretia ebenso für ihre Herzlichkeit und das schöne Anwesen!

Magische plek om helemaal tot rust te komen.

We hebben enorm genoten van de idyllische omgeving, de stilte en het buitenleven. Buiten koken met dit fenomenale uitzicht maakte de ervaring extra bijzonder. Het zwembad was pure luxe en perfect om volledig te ontspannen. De lieve gastvrouw zorgde ervoor dat we ons meteen welkom voelden, en het mooie familieverhaal achter deze plek gaf het verblijf nog meer karakter en warmte. Ook Frigiliana is een heerlijk dorp om te bezoeken, met in de buurt fantastische restaurants waar je lokaal en ontzettend lekker kunt eten. Een absolute aanrader!

Een super mooi huisje met een geweldige tuin en zwembad. Alles is netjes onderhouden en schoon. De weg naar het huisje toe is slecht begaanbaar maar het is te doen met een goede auto. Het went ook wel na een paar keer rijden. Je hebt dan ook echt een unieke omgeving. Ralph was erg goed bereikbaar en zeer vriendelijk. We hebben ons erg goed vermaakt in deze prachtige omgeving.

Lovely holiday at this beautiful house. Picking fresh figs in the gorgeous garden and enjoying a dip brrrr in the pool. Don’t think we could improve, just maybe water could be a bit temperamental when having a shower hot then very cold but otherwise an excellent stay.

Cortijo Ricardo is a place where you van find peace and quiet. It is a windy and sometimes steep road to get there, but the location is all worth it. We were warmly welcomed, with fresh local fruits and wine. The house is perfectly clean and has everything you need. The house has a beautiful covered terrace with lovely views. You can enjoy the place in any weather.

This place is amazing - the house is great with so many lovely touches & attention to detail that lots of holiday rentals just don’t do but this place had everything we needed and more. It was immaculately clean and well equipped. The location is stunning in the mountains, and the gardens and terraces of the house had fabulous views and while there we saw lots of wildlife including squirrels, goats, lizards, geckos, bats and more. The pool is beautiful and is set on a terrace above the house so makes the most of the incredible scenery. We had a very warm welcome from Lucrezia, and there was fresh local fruit and other treats to enjoy. Ralph was very helpful in all communication before we arrived and was always happy to answer queries. The road to the house is steep and has some tight turns so be mindful when hiring a car, but the end result of arriving at the villa is worth the journey! We didn’t want to leave!

This place is heaven! It is certainly off the beaten track (we were fine without a 4x4) and away from the hustle and bustle, so if you want to recharge your batteries and get back to nature (we saw ibex, eagles and a red squirrel) this is the place. We had planned to do some site seeing, but in the end chose mostly to stay and relax around the pool (Acebuchal and Frigiliana were close by and lovely for lunch or an evening stroll). The house has everything we needed (dishwasher and washing machine) and was cool even in the heat of August. We met the delightful owner, who was really welcoming (allowing us to check in early) and helpful (getting us an extra fan).

The scenery was stunning whilst the farmhouse and its various terraces and seating areas had been restored with real love and thoughtfulness which made for the perfect home from home! Our almost daily trek to Bar El Acebuchal was much looked forward to (we will bring walking boots next time so that we can cross through the mountain stream to get into the next valley), the recently opened wine bar in Frigliana is worth a visit and a trip to Alhambra not to be missed! Although the weather was not particularly kind - and we probably should have taken a few more warm clothes - the warmth of our host's welcome and care of us during our stay was much appreciated, and we very much hope to return!

Siempre nos habían contado que al séptimo día Dios descansó, pues creo que eso no es cierto, lo que realmente hizo fue trasladar una parte del paraíso a la tierra creando el Cortijo Ricardo. En muchos comentarios se habla de los accesos ¿son fáciles? No, pero ¿alguien cree que las cosas buenas son sencillas? Evidentemente lo bueno requiere de ciertos sacrificios, y además tan sólo es una primera impresión ya que una vez recorres ese camino un par de veces, compruebas que es mucho más cómodo de lo que creías inicialmente. La verdad es que hemos pasado allí dos semanas maravillosas, a ello han contribuido en gran medida Lucrecia y Martín, los dueños de la casa que se han volcado en que nuestra estancia fuese perfecta. Para finalizar este comentario simplemente quisiera animar a todo el mundo que quiera disfrutar de unas vacaciones en el cielo, que elija como destino de las mismas está residencia... no se equivocarán.

De plek was precies wat we hoopten: een plek waar het echt stil is, waar je midden in de natuur zit maar ook met een half uur in Nerja aan het strand bent. Het huisje en de tuin zijn met heel veel aandacht ingericht. De kinderen hebben zich ontzettend goed vermaakt bij het zwembad. Het ritje van Frigiliana naar het huisje is wel een kleine uitdaging. Wij hebben het ontzettend naar onze zin gehad.

Die Unterkunft war ein wunderschöner, naturverbundener und ruhiger Ort der Entspannung. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt: das Haus war sehr sauber, es war alles vor Ort, was wir benötigt haben: von Toilettenpapier über Seife, über eine komplette Küchenausstattung, sogar Obst und eine Flasche Wein hat uns begrüßt. Der Pool und die Aussicht war wirklich für uns das absolute Highlight. Genau wie die verschiedenen Terrassen, die zu jeder Tageszeit und zu jeder Mahlzeit einen anderen Ort mit Sonne oder Schatten zugelassen haben. Alles war sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Ralph persönlich haben wir nicht kennengelernt. Uns hat stattdessen Fr. Lucrecia empfangen. Sie war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und es hat alles reibungslos geklappt. Es war eine wirklich sehr warmherziger Begrüßung. Für das Haus ist definitiv ein Mietauto erforderlich und auch die Anfahrt ist recht kurvenreich durch die Berge. Man wird aber definitiv mit einem wunderbaren Ausblick belohnt und ist weit weg vom Massentourismus!
