Nestled in the charming mountain village of Gaucín, this rustic home boasts a private pool and multiple terraces. There are three floors and lots of steps, and some of the furnishings are a little dated, especially in the kitchen, so it may not be to everyone's taste. But the highlight of this home is its views, allowing you to survey Gaucín and its majestic castle, or see all the way to the African coast on a clear day.

Home truths

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay.

    Your host can provide a cot and high chair here for free on request if you're travelling with little ones.

    This home is spread over multiple floors with steps throughout, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.

    Groups of people under the age of thirty are not permitted at this home.

    We think the twin single bedroom is best suited to children. Little ones will also need supervision when playing near the pool, as it is unfenced.

About Estepona

Estepona has not been dubbed the Garden of the Costa del Sol without good reason. From the palm trees lining the promenade to the many flower pots hanging from the whitewashed houses in the old town, this town takes its aesthetics seriously. The beauty is not just contained to greenery, though – among the winding streets, you’re never far from murals and sculptures. Historic buildings and museums are dotted throughout...
