"Small independent house well located to visit the surroundings. Pleasant swimming pool, equipped bin, air conditioning, quiet. "

"We had a good stay with Carol and Richard at their property in Cartama. The couple are welcoming and very kind but also leave you alone to enjoy privacy during your stay - they have the balance just right. The accommodation is a compact rustic casita, typical of the area and is well equipped for a self catering holiday. With two bedrooms, a private sun terrace, access to a pool and fully equipped kitchen it is extremely good value for a family of up to 5 people. The location is ideal for those wishing to explore this part of Spain with easy access to beaches, national parks and tourist attractions. A nearby town allows you to experience Andalusia with the locals and embrace the Spanish way of life."

"Spent a lovely 10 days just outside Málaga at Carol and Richard's place. Great hosts, very knowledgeable and can't do enough to help you. We arrived very late due to a delayed flight and Carol and Richard were both there to greet us after midnight. The lodgings are compact and spotless. Loads of games for the kids and information about the local area. The pool really helped during the August heatwave, as did the tv and the comfy beds during our siestas. Really handy location, Cartama is small but a typically Spanish town but if you fancy more touristy places, then Torremolinos and Benalmádena are close by...all worth exploring...we hired a car to try and see as much as we could! Would stay again 👍 Muchas gracias Carol, Richard y los perritos ❤️"

Beautiful area and fab hosts!
I stayed for a week in Sept, my first holiday alone with my two children 3.5 and nearly 2.. I got car hire which is a must. Carol and Richard met me at a bar in the town, where they bought us drinks and chatted for a while before showing me the way to the villa. It's setting is beautiful. The accommodation is small but adequate and has plenty of out door space.. When your on holiday you don't spend much time inside so this didn't phase me. The pool area is lovely and you are free to use this whenever, we had it too ourselves morning or afternoon when we weren't at the beach. Carol and Richard are amazing hosts and nothing was too much for them, they did us a bbq, watched my two little ones from time to time, gave advise on where to go, we're very sociable in the evenings, and lent me mozi treatment, and even socks. They really couldn't have done more. My children loved the 3 gorgeous dogs and still ask after them (Toby is their fav) and still talk of Carol and Richard too bless.. Thank you x

"Value for money!
Spent 8 nights and had a wonderful time, Richard and Carol were very friendly and helpful, really good for recommendations on what to do. Have to say that their 3 dogs were one of the highlights, friendly laid back and extremely sweet, living their best lives! Thank you very much to you both, especially Richard who got up at the crack of dawn to drive us back to the airport, wish you both all the best, Kate, Gary & Linda x"

"That's great. As if we were at home
A wonderful and fantastic place. We have enjoyed the garden, the pool and the tranquility and kindness offered by Carol and Richard. Our dog has also enjoyed the company of her three adorable puppies. Of course, we will return. See you soon."

Carmen

"Yes, it's exactly a superb place.

We really enjoyed this location. Our feelings owe a lot to the welcome offered to us by this magical couple. There are average things in renting but there is a unique thing, it is the incessant but not intrusive desire of the owners to always give satisfaction and to strive for it. We are close to Malaga, the sea and therefore it is just what we wanted. But the owners what diamonds for humanity they are. "

"Relaxing
Thank you Carol and Richard for all your help and support during our stay . Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back . P.S. the torch has come in very useful!!"

"Cozy home with good location when exploring the Andalusia area
We stayed a week at Carol and Richard's place on May 2017. There were 3 of us and had lovely time and plenty of space. Our daughter loved the dogs and swimming pool. We had BBQ almost every evening and afterwards explored the area by walking around the small roads. This was our first vacation in Spain and we're happy to choose this place for staying. Carol and Richard helped us with our every wish. Must thank Richard as he helped when my "stores" of beer ran low."

"Everything we needed and more
A great relaxing stay with Richard and Carol who were so kind and helpful. Everything was as we expected and we would definitely return. A great location for exploring the Costa del Sol. Plenty of board games and garden games for the all of us.

"We stayed with our five year old and baby. The accommodation has plenty of room for a family of four. We also brought our dog. The owners are lovely and will go out of their way to help and provided anything we needed. The pool is a great size and private. Great for the budget but also a very friendly place."
