Summary: Wonderful experience, an oasis of peace, quiet and rest. Very nice natural stone house near a creek, in a beautiful wild rugged natural area (Griffon vultures were flying over our heads). The kitchen was sufficiently furnished, very clean bathroom, everything worked well. Also very reasonably priced (we were with 2, but 4 could easily stay here). Location near village of Grazalema (5 km) in the heart of the Grazalema sierra is ideal as a basis for nature- and mountain-walks. The only serious minus were the beds: they were too small (too short!) and very poor matrasses plus spring system (potential back-ache beds). This is the only reason we give 4 out of 5 *.
