Holiday Homes in Villanueva del Rey Córdoba

The house is in a lovely hilly forested area several miles south of the little town. We basically arrived and just stayed in the house for many days enjoying the rural life. We cooked all of our meals there so it is very well equipped for preparing meals, and fresh eggs were delivered to us very kindly from the chicken coop nearby. There is a great waterfall that the kids enjoyed visiting every day, they very much were into climbing the rocks and exploring. The house has two fireplaces, which we used as the nights were cold though the days were warm. There is also a wood-fired oven outside which we used to cook pizza, and a gas barbeque. It is great place to unwind and relax. Flowers were in abundance in February. We ate outdoors during the day and had the windows open at night. The owners were super nice to us and our stay in the house will remain a fond memory for many years.

I would like to emphasize that there are a lot of very personal opinions in this review. I've tried to indicate why I feel the way I feel, so that other people can decide 'this doesn't count for me' easily. And please don't be put off by the fact that I rated the location as 'not so good'. This was due to to the fact that we travel by electric car and the facilities to charge were a little too far away for comfort. Also, the access road is good but if you're not used to travelling in a mountainous area can be a little hard. The house is about 45 minuten from Cordoba, once you're out of the mountains the roads are perfect but it takes some time to get there. Villaviciosa is 7 km by mountainn road, about 10-15 minutes by car. There is a good Dia supermarket. Let me start by saying that if the owner was very friendly and helpful and Manueal, her caretaker, really helped us settle in. If you want peace & quiet, this is certainly the right place to come!! There are no close by neighbours, the property is gated, it's very 'away from everything'. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The next door neighbour only came on to the property to work on his garden every day and gave us loads and loads of the very best tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and melons I've ever tasted in my life. I loved the kitchen as I like to cook, and it was very well equipped (even had sharp knives, a rarity in holiday homes). The bathroom was OK. The shower is in the bath, this is something we don't like much but is perfectly fine to work with. The pool is awesome. The water stays cool even in the hottest temps, and we had plenty of those. There are lights in the pool so you can even enjoy an evening swim. The terrace behind the house is very tranquillo, with nice views of the area. We spent most of our evenings sitting outside on the terrace in the cooling evening breeze, so very enjoyable....
