The house is amazing. It has everything you need for a large party in a traditional country house with a great mountain view. Colm was super flexible about check in and check out times and very responsive to our questions and requests. We had a great time there, Totally recommended!

Hemos pasado unos días maravillosos en familia en la casa de Colm en Alpandeire . En este pueblo se respira paz y tranquilidad . Hemos dormido estupendamente y la gente del pueblo es súper amable . Recordaremos siempre a Gaspar y a Paquito y la comida riquísima de La Casa Grande !! Gracias Colm por tu hospitalidad y por esa casa tan bonita !!

Colm nos trató estupendamente y todo lo que le dijimos que faltaba nos lo solucionó sobre la marcha. La casa estaba limpia y perfectamente equipada. Un fin de semana en un pueblo con mucho encanto

Superbe maison dans un village plein de charme

Skvělý pobyt, byli jsme mile překvapeni a nadšeni. Krásné hory, krásná vesnice. Nádhera.

Colm es un excelente anfitrión, dejó llegar antes a los invitados y además fue muy amable en relación a un problema que hubo con la reserva

Everything we hoped for and more. We wanted real, authentic Spain - somewhere quiet, traditional and scenic and that’s exactly what we got. The villa is so spacious and well appointed we didn’t need to venture out too much. When we did, the locals were very friendly, the food and drink good quality and value and there were beautiful view points in the town. Jubrique is very remote but this is what appealed to us - and only and hour’s drive away is beautiful Ronda which is worth a visit. Thank you to Colm and Antonita for your hospitality

El alojamiento es amplio y muy limpio. La casa y el entorno son geniales para pasar unos días de desconexión y relajación total. La cocina esta bien equipada y la piscina pone el broche de oro a la casa. Colm es muy amable y esta siempre disponible haciendo muy cómoda la comunicación con el. Gracias por la magnífica estancia.

A really spacious house on a pretty street in the middle of the village. The house is well kitted out and has a large kitchen and south facing terrace which are great for spending time with friends and family. The private pool was very welcome for cooling off in the August heat and there is also a larger public infinity pool in the village. Alpandeire is quite quiet (which we liked) but Ronda is only a 20 minute drive away and has plenty of shops and restaurants. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. Colm was a very helpful and responsive host. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it..

Wundervolles Haus mit viel Platz, ideal für 5 bis 6 Personen. Der geräumige Außenbereich wirkt eher wie ein Innenhof, von den französischen Balkonen der talwärts gelegenen Zimmer hat man dagegen einen tollen Ausblick. Die Kinder haben den Pool geliebt, auch wenn er die Kleidung gelb gefärbt hat - die Poolpflege könnte optimiert werden. Anders als auf den (jetzigen) Bildern ist er durch eine Ummauerung für Kleinkinder geschützt. Das Haus ist direkt an den Ort angebunden, was ein Nachteil ist, wenn die Nachbarn Samstagabend durch die Nacht feiern oder ihr Hund nicht zur Ruhe kommt, und ein Vorteil, wenn man Essen oder einkaufen gehen will. Jubrique hat eine sehr gute Größe für ein Dorf: Klein genug, um gemütlich zu sein, und groß genug für einen Bäcker und drei Restaurants. Mit dem Auto erreicht man in zehn Minuten einen wunderschönen Badefluss.

Dom położony w spokojnym miasteczku. Na miejscu piekarnia, mały sklep. Bardzo miły i pomocny gospodarz. Dom jest zadbany, wygodny, wyposażony w niezbędny sprzęt. Świetny jako baza wypadowa do zwiedzania okolicznych miasteczek.

Superbe maison, calme tout en étant dans le village de Jubrique et proche de petits restaurants, bien pratique pour savourer des tapas le soir.... Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, en ayant chacun notre espace de vie à 2 familles. La maison est spacieuse, très agréable à vivre, très bien équipée, conforme à la description et Colm ainsi qu’Antonia ont été très disponibles, que ce soit pour nous accueillir malgré l’heure tardive, puis tout au long de notre séjour. Jubrique est un village perché dans les montagnes andalouses, à 45 minutes de la mer, il y a de petits commerces et supermarchés dans les villages alentours...

The location of this place is fantastic. The pool and outdoor patio look out over the beautiful whitewashed village and up to the cathedral. Amazing views! The village itself is very charming with a fantastic local bakery and butcher just steps From: the front door. Highly recommended to stay in Alpendaire for quiet and character. Not at all touristy and there is a great restaurant at the hotel that unfortunately we were not able to go to. Colm was fantastic host and very responsive. The first day he walked us through the village to find the local grocery store and butcher, making sure we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay!

El sitio estupendo, la casa preciosa y situada en un sitio privilegiado del pueblo... ha sido una gran experiencia con las amigas y mucho espacio ya q la casa es muy grande, una bonita decoración

Nice house in a nicd and quiet mountain village. Perfect for a few days. Thd house has everything one expects - pool, barbeque, easy access to the village. Thd panderia in the village has all the necessities one needs for a few days at the house.

Hemos pasado un fin de semana muy agradable, la casa tiene todas las comodidades. Hemos ido con un Bebé pequeñito y ha sido muy cómodo. Colm tenía la casa calentita para nuestra llegada. El pueblo es pequeño pero muy bonito.

Det eneste problem er, at stedet ligger mere isoleret fra indkøbssteder end vi troede. Det varer en time hver vej ad snoede bjergveje.

La casa es tal como aparece en las fotos, es una casa muy espaciosa, y con muchas terrazas para poder estar mucha gente sin agobios. Ideal para ir grupo La piscina es genial para refrescarse y descansar despues de realizar una caminata.

We just had the best holiday - thank you to Colm and Michael for being so helpful and kind. We arrived in a heat wave (39degrees) and Colm bought us fans and made sure his brother Michal checked on us every day. The house had breathtaking views and the village is great prettiest we have seen. The bars and restaurants in the village are very quiet so you need to go to Gaucin if you want a buzzing atmosphere. The best thing about the house was its proximity to an amazing river which we swam and dived in every day and which has a couple of charming restaurants that overlook it and are great for kids. All in all a magic holiday, thank you so much!

Ten of us arrived with 5 children The house is as described on the site Village is quiet Very Spanish and people are lovely warm and sincere We were there just under a week but we all had a great time The host and his team could not do enough for us so a big thank you to them also

Wonderfull house! We stayed two nights in the house and it was just too short. The house, the garden, the pool and not the least the view were amazing. It was such a beautifull place. Colm gave good directions and we had a very warm velcome.

Nos ha gustado todo de la casa, la piscina es un punto muy positivo porque hacía calor y nos hemos pasado todo el fin de semana ahí. El pueblo es muy tranquilo y tiene unas vistas espectaculares desde la casa.

La casa estupenda

Poolområde fint. Bærer præg af at det kun er udlejning og mangler vedligeholdelse. En hyggelig lille by og dejlig lokalbefolkning

Muy recomendable, ptecioso paraje

Casa grande, muy bien situada y Colm muy amable, y te facilita mucho las cosas.

The village is located in a magic scenery in between the mountains. As you approach the village by car, the sinuous road will allow you to glimpse the white houses little by little as you get closer. Once you get there the overwhelming silence will catch you at the first second. The house is very central next to the main church, where, generally, there would be space to park your car. Traditional architecture, pure white facade, wooden entrance door, and in the inside, a warm and cosy atmosphere full details. Really spacious rural house for a family getaway or friends. The views of the valley are great too! Colm is a great host, who will be available to help you at any time.

Una experiencia muy agradable, tanto Antoñita como Miguel encantadores. Tuvimos problemas con el agua caliente, pero nos lo solucionaron muy rápido. Pensamos que la leña debería de estar incluida en el precio de la casa y la casa no nos pareció que estuviera especialmente limpia, pero tampoco sucia, decir también que los colchones de las camas individuales están algo estropeados. Destacar que tres de las personas que iban a la casa no pudieron ir por enfermedad y Colm no puso impedimento alguno para hacer la devolución correspondiente ellos. En definitiva fue una estancia agradable.

Ha sido una estancia estupenda. COLM en todo momento ha sido muy servicial y correcto, nos ha recibido con la casa preparada, limpia. Nos deja quedarnos más tiempo a la salida.

El pueblo y el entorno son fantasticos. La cocina es la estrella de la casa: espaciosa y bien equipada. Habitaciones y baños muy buenos. El propietario es muy atento y resulta facil comunicarse con el.

What can I say about Alpandeire and Colm!!! The location is simply amazing, 20-30 mins away From: Ronda, secluded little village, with amazing warm and friendly people and GREAT FOOD... Colm himself was so accommodating, easy to communicate and helpful with the overall experience. He provided detailed instructions and helpful tips on how to get to his amazing place. His place is fantastic, the pool is amazing on a hot day to just be inside and relax and get away From: the city and unplug yourself. Very spacious and very equipped place to host 10 people easily. We all had such great time, we would absolutely come here again. If you are planning to be close to Ronda, I would strongly recommend to stay here in Alpandeire and visit Ronda whenever you want to. Thank you Colm!

Very charming house in a calm, little village in the mountains (2-3 bars, 2-3 restaurants). Beautiful views and the route through the mountains. People who welcomed us were very helpful, they helped us to find the place, explained us everything. The house was clean, well equipped. The only thing we could complain about was the WIFI that didn't work in the pool area.

La casa stupenda y comunicacion con colm espectacular ya que duda q tenia duda q resolvia y nos ha facilitado todo mucho. Antonia una mujer encantadora que fue quien nos instalalo en la casa y nos enseño todo. La unica pega es que estuvimos poco dias jiji. Gracias por todo.

A beautiful place with spectacular mountain views. Edged on the corner of Jubrique, La Retarta leaves you with the feeling of a Spanish farmhouse that opens on one side into the village and the other onto orange, avocado and lemons trees (to name but a few). Staying here bought much needed quietness and simplicity, with unforgettable blue skies and starry nights.

Casa Pilar is even better than advertised. The house is spacious, clean and accommodated our party of 10 adults with ease. The pool was clean, fresh, and much bigger than it appears on the photo, as was the well-stocked kitchen and the outdoor terrace with a view on the village and the church. The house boasts a superior view on the village and the hills around it, and offers every amenity a self-catering holiday place could want, including a washing machine. Alpandeire itself is beautiful and serene, and ideally situated for hiking trips, which we made use of. The village has several bars and a grocery store with most essentials, all a short walk From: the house. Colm was an extremely helpful and attentive host throughout, organizing transport From: Ronda and back, as well as our shopping trip for the weekend (we didn't have a car.) Can't recommend this place enough.

We were four adults with three kids, and we had a fantastic time in the house. The communication with Cold was perfect since the very beginning and he arranged all our enquiries regarding baby cods, high chairs, etc. Upon arrival Antoñita welcomed us, explained everything we had to know about the house and Jubrique, and she even accompany us to do some grocery shopping in the shops around. The house looks exactly like in the pictures, and the swimming pool is ideal for summer time.

La casa es enorme, todo muy limpio. Antoñita es muy simpática y agradable y el pueblo también está muy bonito.

what a fantastic house! Colm was warm and welcoming, he was flexible with check out time and went out of his way to get the pool ready for us in April. The house is wonderful. we were a group of 7 adults and have more than enough room. the kitchen area is great for entertaining and also plenty of space to sit outside. We would love to stay here again and cannot recommend it enough. the house was extremely clean, the kitchen was fully equipped and we even had a BBBQ in the day and lit the fire at night.

La casa es muy bonita y con todas la comodidades, El interior y y todos los espacios exteriores hacen de esta casa, la ideal para una escapada a la montaña. Colm, Miguel y Antonia estuvieron muy atento y la comunicación fue muy buena en todo momento. Fuimos 9 amigos y lo pasamos genial estuvimos todos muy cómodos. Hacia un poco de frío para usar la piscina por la época del año, pero la casa es muy cálida con los calefactores y las chimeneas, y durante le día se esta muy bien al sol. Por supuesto remiendo a todos La Retarta de Jubrique.

We had a great stay in Jubrique. It's a wonderful village in a beautiful part of Spain. Colm was a generous host and we'd recommend his place to others - especially groups!

This house, the village, and the landscape around it are phenomenal. One of those rare occasions when you want to give six stars if that was an option. There was six of us who spent four nights here over Christmas, and we very much enjoyed our stay. The house has a lot of character and is comfortable, with good heating (important in the winter!) and adequate kitchen. The fireplaces add extra coziness, and the yard with its view, fruit trees, and pool (although too cold at this time of year) makes it enjoyable to spend many hours in and around the house. The village is charming, with few but good choices for eating out, and the surrounding area is excellent for hiking. The hosts went the extra mile in helping us find restaurants, get firewood, and generally getting our bearings in the village. The house has lots of space, but it might get a little crowded around the dining table if more than 6-8 people want to eat together.

I had all the infprmation I required From: Colm and was made to feel very at home in the apartment. Everything was perfect.

The house is beautiful, ideally located in the heart of the village and very functional, perfect for families or a group of friends. The communications with Colm and other people who helped were very easy. Absolutely recommended!

Colm is a very nice person and James and Ingrid are loveable people who will assist you with every problem that occurs. Jubrique is a very nice village up in the mountains. With the six little shops to do your groceries you don’t need to go far. Algatocin is the nearest village with a large supermarket. Driving to the cost (Estepona or Marbella) will cost you almost an hour. But the house is large and during the summer (35° - 40° Celcius) you live outside on the perfect yard with the pool, everything surrounded with fruit trees. In the summer you can pick your own lemons, in autumn the avocados and figs and in December oranges or mandarins. Meson La Posuela is a very good restaurant (Dutch owners) but you can also eat tapas in most of the small restaurants in the village. We had a lovely time with the whole family (From: one year old to sixty). When you drive there From: Ronda, make sure your navigation don’t send you via the mountain road. You need very strong nerves and mountain-driving experience driving that road at night. We did and still talk about it. So make sure you follow Algatocin (or Gaucin) where you can take the road to Jubrique. We had a very pleasant holiday in the house and thank you Colm, James and Ingrid for the hospitality.

Hemos pasado unos dias maravillosos... Mucha tranquilidad y la casa es genial aunque la piscina parece mas grande en las fotos... La gente del pueblo un encanto...

La retarta is a fabulous conversion of a distillery (we were told) in the white village of jubrique. With five large bedrooms, three bathroom, two kitchens, two secluded courtyards shaded by orange and lemon trees (in blossom when we were there in April), a swimming pool and views over the mountains, a place to bring an extended family where everyone can find a separate corner to escape, cuddle, sulk, sew, read, play whatever. We were seven adults and the house could easily absorb seven more. James and Ingrid who look after the place were friendly and helpful. James showed us round the village on our first morning. All the people who we met were pleasant to us, despite our execrable Spanish. Our neighbour gave us a crate of avocados oranges and lemons as we left. The bars were lively just after the easter holiday when we were there and we had an excellent meal at the restaurant on the main road on our last night. Jubrique is quite remote so you would need a car. There are lots of walks in more or less any direction and places where you can bathe in the river. There are signs to a municipal swimming pool, though we didn't actually see it. Ronda is a bit over an hour away and malaga airport two hours. Despite having had bad weather over the three days we stayed in Colm's house (two wood burning stoves and one open hearth fire make it cosy), we left discussing when we would return and who we would bring with us.

We had a wonderful week and totally recommend a trip here. Colm was very communicative and informative with info and directions before our trip. The village has lots of lovely tapas bars but the real jewel in the crown is La Mason pozuela in the town - Hellen and Barry serve delicious high end food but well very reasonably prices and wonderful wine and even helped us with takeaway a few nights a week and provided us with a corkscrew. Kids loved the pool and the gardener kept the pool clean and tidy. Rory kept us supplied with delicious fruit and vegetables and was such a generous neighbour with advice on where to visit and where to eat And gave us a wonderful tour of the village. It helped having an English speaker right next door. We are very grateful to him.

This house was a perfect get-away for three families with young children looking for a low-key get-away. Its an easy drive to Ronda and some of the other pueblos blancos. The village was so quiet, at times we felt we were the only ones there. The view of the church From: the terrace was amazing, and the pool was perfect for cooling off after we explored the town. The locals were friendly, and we enjoyed visiting the tapas bar and bakery daily. Colm was friendly and responsive, and even drove over to personally check on a question we had about the oven. He even mailed back a small toy that my daughter left in the house. We highly recommend this house for a quiet country get-away.

Just back From: 10 glorious days in Jubrique, what a lovely part of Andalucia it is, isolated, off the beaten track and so friendly. The village has great tapas bars and restaurants and the locals were really helpful and welcoming. The house is fantastic, very spacious and grand while also being simple and traditional. Despite being walking distance From: great bars it's very private and enclosed with lovely views across the valley. The house and village was exactly as described by Colm who also provided good directions to get there. Key collection was straightforward From: Ingrid who lives in the village, the house was cleaned by Maria, a neighbour, and a gardener came most mornings to water the plants and clean the pool. It was a perfect backdrop to a lovely family holiday, can't recommend it highly enough.

Our 2 night stay in La Retarta was great. Jubrique is a lovely little white village and the house offers a wonderful view over the valley and surrounding mountains. A fabulous place to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine while the kids jump around in the pool. Colm was a great host responding to my queries promptly. His house keeper, Ingrid, was amazing! She returned my friends kindle,driving out of her way to drop it at my friends house. I would certainly recommend a stay at this villa. My only request is that tea towels are provided in the kitchen

Extremely beatiful house - great terrasse! Amazing! Colm was very friendly and helpful! Thanks a lot!

Magnifica estancia, Casa Pilar cumple con las espectativas creadas con el anuncio, esta limpia, es acogedora, cálida, y la atención por parte de Colm es sobresaliente. Si uno busca tranquilidad, y cercanía a la serranía de Ronda es una opción ideal.

The house was ideal for our purposes - an extended family gathering. We loved the house, the garden and the village - people were friendly and the housekeeper made us feel very welcome. We loved the fact that one side of the house opened out onto a village street (with a vibrant local bar) while the other provided a much more rural aspect, looking down to the valley of the Genal and up towards the mountains all around. The swimming pool was a major asset.

AMAZING!! We had the pleasure of staying in Colm's beautiful villa in August. As a 'grown-up' family, space was a priority and we were not disappointed to find such a large and traditional interior and outdoor area. The winding mountain journey to Jubrique was breath taking and seemed never ending then tucked away in the middle of it all as a tiny white speck on the horizon our little village destination. Jubrique is one of three villages separated by rolling mountains and a 45min drive. The views were stunning and made us feel like we were a million miles away From: the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. Mountain walks and natural lakes for swimming were all part of the package and easily accessed. Relaxing by the pool, sampling the delicious spanish produce, enjoying the views, and the alfresco dining all made it very difficult indeed to leave the comfort of Cortijo Retarta. Other than a trip to Ronda, (a must), and pottering up and down the maze of white buildings and narrow streets talking to the oh-so-friendly locals, there really wasn't much more we wanted From: our 10 day trip... We would all go back in a heart beat. Thank you so much to Colm who was very helpful answering all our many questions before our trip and also to James and Ingrid - who were on tap to provide essential Spanish tips and knowledge of Jubrique and to Rory for supplying us with fresh produce From: the garden and interesting stories and history of the area. We hope to see you again!!

Jubrique is a beautiful place in the mountains... We enjoyed our stay and we'll be back soon!

Colm, el propietario es un caballero, atento y servicial. La casa es estupenda y la oferta corresponde a la realidad. E sitio, magnífico por su entorno. Casa muy recomendable. Volveremos
