    The weather could have been nicer ☺️

    Very beautiful location in the heart of the Sierra de Rute. Homes decorated with a lot of taste in the Andalusian style, inside and ourside (superb garden with a lot of plants). Very clean and very friendly owner.

    Unfortunately the last 2 days the swimming pool was not very clean, and there were lots of wasps in the pool. So we did not used it then.

    Beautiful location , very quite and our room was fantastic, the interior design is beautiful, very Andalucian with Arabic infuences. Our view was perfect, the olive groves, mountains and in the distance the lake of Iznajar. Very well done!

    The hosts were very nice and accomodating. Also, the little casita was nicely decorated and had all amenities available. We had a great time lounging by the pool surrounded by olive orchards and exploring the nearby towns!

    Nothing at all. We loved it. But a couple of points that might be worth knowing: The hosts do not speak any English - but this was not an issue whatsoever. Through the use of messenger etc it was simple to arrange check in and check out, and to ask any questions while we were there. A hire car is needed. I imagine you’d be able to get public transport to Rute, and then it would be possible to walk to the hotel but it would be a good 30-40 minutes up hill.

    Absolutely beautiful place! We loved our stay at El Rincon. The apartment itself was beautifully furnished and decorated, with a gorgeous little terrace with views over the mountains and reservoir. It has all the amenities you need to relax in the peace and quiet up in the mountains. The kitchen has an oven, stove, large fridge-freezer, and all the crockery and utensils you need. The pool area is a great size with ample sunloungers and plenty of shade. The location is a 10 minute drive outside of a town called Rute, which isn’t particularly touristy but has all the necessities. The drive through the mountains to the property is absolutely stunning, and the photos do not do the views from the place justice.

    It is difficult to find any negatives. for example the property was superbly clean. I even checked the filter above the cooker hood (mine at home is dirty) here it was spotless. no negatives at all

    amazing location, great Accomodation, peaceful atmosphere. excellent in all respects. 10 minute drive to town where there are various shops. cooking facilities in the apartment were excellent. one of the best places I have dated at.

    we had a noisy neighbours who were staying with us for a night but the owner of property have solved this problem.

    Although the owner of house speaks Spanish only, the communication was really good and kind with her :) a swimming pool was also great. The view from our window and terrace is fascinating. Much space inside the house, all calm.

    Be prepared to be remote from facilities. .Good supermarket in town is available so helps with self-catering. Car is essential. Rute is nearest town -a working town & not that attractive to tourists. Wifi occasionally dropped in apartment.

    Excellent studio apartment with beautiful gardens and pool. Very relaxing setting. Loved the surroundings of the pool. Immaculate pool gardens. Impressive attention to detail. Having a kettle & toaster is unusual & welcome in Spain. Very well equipped & comfortable apartment for our week. Easy drive to Granada & Córdoba. Lovely balcony overlooking the Andalusian olive groves. So beautiful on an evening. Carmen is very helpful @ patient with guests who have limited Spanish. Excellent value for money.

    It was a bit cold inside when we were there (in November), so the fireplace was truly amazing. Sad thing is that house cooled off quite quick.

    Amazing house with an amazing view. Carmen was very friendly and even though we didn't speak the same language, we were able to communicate about essentials. The bed was also amazing!
