Amazing Place and hosts - Just wish we could have stayed longer
Truly beautiful location and great layout in the mountains just outside a small mountain village. We used as a base camp to explore the area, with El Gastor just being a very cute village, surrounded by lots other towns within 30 to 45 minute drives. The actual house was lovely, clean, and so inviting with just a wonderful sunset view. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer!

Rustic comfort with a million dollar view
El Valle Dorado was the perfect perch for my husband and me to explore the beautiful white towns area of Southern Spain. The house is very comfortable, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. We stayed during a cold snap, and the heating worked well. In warmer weather, the outdoor amenities like the pool and extensive outdoor seating areas would be wonderful. Host Luis speaks good English, and he and his parents were charming. The meeting point at the El Gastor gas station was convenient and simple to find. For larger groups, the fact that there is only one bathroom should be considered. For the two of us, it was no problem.

The best rental and our favourite spot throughout our trip around Spain. Luis' and his family are so kind, hospitable, easy to communicate with and host the most lovely property. Stunning views, poolside lounging and while we were there in January, the fireplace made for an extra cozy and relaxing evening. It is so well equipped you could host family dinner here and our only wish is that we stayed longer. Next time! Highly recommend as you explore El Gastor, the little white villages, the wine region, Ronda etc. Thank you Luis & Family

Perfect.
We had very high expectations having read previous reviews of this property. It is fair to say that these were exceeded. In particular the pool, large, very clean and the surrounding area offering both sun and shade with a fantastic view. If you are considering booking this property, do not hesitate. We enjoyed all aspects of our stay.

Such a beautiful place, we want to live here!
This house is stunning. Incredible views, lovely relaxing outdoor living spaces. With a westerly aspect we saw some amazing sunsets every day, whilst having dinner on one of the 5 different seating areas! We really couldn't find anything to fault this place for and Luis Jr and luis Snr were lovely hosts. Believe the pictures, for once they don't lie, if anything they don't fully do it justice.

Absolutely amazing stay!!
From the moment we met Luis father who brought us to the house, to the departure day, it was a brilliant stay! One of the best holidays we've ever had. The house is in a beautiful location with fantastic views over the surroundings mountains and El Gastor reservoir. We spent the majority of each day in the pool which is quite large and was very clean. The house is a traditional Spanish house, very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. There were many seating areas around the property and fruit trees all around. Any queries were answered very promptly. We would love to return here!

Splendid Spanish villa
This delightful house, with sweeping views across the valley, is within a short drive of many stunning Spanish villages. Very peaceful and non-touristy feel to the general area, but to El Gastor in particular. Property manager, Luis, and his parents (Luis Sr. and Mercedes), as well as brother Ruiz, were super nice and helpful. If you want to stay close to many of the postcard- beautiful places in Cádiz, Andalusia and Malaga, this villa comes highly recommended!

Fabulous villa with gorgeous views
We loved this villa. It was well kitted out and the outside space was fabulous - particularly the pool. And the views were stupendous. The owners were very helpful, although the initial meet up at a local garage proved a bit tricky! The only things that would make the stay even more perfect would be a 1.80m bed and a better shower.
