Cortijo Ricardo

stunning views, peaceful location. Authentic Spanish property - lovely

A beautiful villa in a lovely location. The pool was fabulous and well used throughout the stay. You might want to hire a car with a bit of oomph to get up to the villa. Lovely night sky for stargazing. Certainly somewhere we would like to stay again.

We have just had the best holiday. The Villa was super clean with amazing outdoor space! The photos just don’t do it justice. It’s private and peaceful, set in beautiful scenery. Lovely to have Frigiliana a short drive away for meals out and wandering around the shops. We loved walking to the restaurant in The Lost Village. Everything was thought about on this holiday with lots of care and help from Ralph and the team. Thank you! Would be back in a heartbeat!

We had an amazing time at this place. It is exactly what we love, very private, surrounded by nature, close to town by car if needed. Everything what you need is on the property, every day it is possible to eat in a different corner with a different view. Love the garden, the details of the place. I recommend it for the people who like peace and quiet, relaxing atmosphere in a feel like home surrounding.

Tranquil and beautiful place nestled away from tourist and noise, but also close enough to head to the beach or into town whenever we felt like it. Just what we wanted. The pool area overlooking the valley was stunning, and the house had all necessities. Ps: a car is needed.

Beautiful place. Exceptional cleanliness with much care and attention to detail. Great, peaceful location and unique setting. Would return for sure.

Lovely holiday at this beautiful house. Picking fresh figs in the gorgeous garden and enjoying a dip brrrr in the pool. Don’t think we could improve, just maybe water could be a bit temperamental when having a shower hot then very cold but otherwise an excellent stay.

Cortijo Ricardo is a place where you van find peace and quiet. It is a windy and sometimes steep road to get there, but the location is all worth it. We were warmly welcomed, with fresh local fruits and wine. The house is perfectly clean and has everything you need. The house has a beautiful covered terrace with lovely views. You can enjoy the place in any weather.

This place is amazing - the house is great with so many lovely touches & attention to detail that lots of holiday rentals just don’t do but this place had everything we needed and more. It was immaculately clean and well equipped. The location is stunning in the mountains, and the gardens and terraces of the house had fabulous views and while there we saw lots of wildlife including squirrels, goats, lizards, geckos, bats and more. The pool is beautiful and is set on a terrace above the house so makes the most of the incredible scenery. We had a very warm welcome from Lucrezia, and there was fresh local fruit and other treats to enjoy. Ralph was very helpful in all communication before we arrived and was always happy to answer queries. The road to the house is steep and has some tight turns so be mindful when hiring a car, but the end result of arriving at the villa is worth the journey! We didn’t want to leave!

This place is heaven! It is certainly off the beaten track (we were fine without a 4x4) and away from the hustle and bustle, so if you want to recharge your batteries and get back to nature (we saw ibex, eagles and a red squirrel) this is the place. We had planned to do some site seeing, but in the end chose mostly to stay and relax around the pool (Acebuchal and Frigiliana were close by and lovely for lunch or an evening stroll). The house has everything we needed (dishwasher and washing machine) and was cool even in the heat of August. We met the delightful owner, who was really welcoming (allowing us to check in early) and helpful (getting us an extra fan).
