"The views from the villa are breathtaking and we would quite happily just turn up with supplies and books and not go anywhere else- that is if we didn't know we would be missing out on the tapas in Montefrio." Eric and Sue, June 2011

"Thanks for sharing with us the house, the amazing views, the refreshing pool and not to forget your interesting music collection" Nicole, Ferdi, Ingrid,Karl. August 2011

"Thank you very much for the quality of your home. We had a fantastic stay and will be obliged to come back to discover Sevilla since we had no time for it. Merci beaucoup encore pour cette maison ou tout est pense pour le confort des hotes" Catherine et Jean-Marc Sentenac. August 2011

"We've had a lovely relaxing holiday here at Cortijo Los Arrendajos. The boys spent many hours in the pool and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We didn't feel the need to go out though had a fun day at Aquaola (its easy to miss the signpost!) We also climbed the nearby mountain- long trousers were good advice - thanks Lydia. Thanks for all your tips and advice which were very helpful for us in finding what we needed. What a lovely villa you have with beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the sounds of the goatman passing though it was a shame we didn't hear him sing! We will look back on our holiday with happy memories and hope to visit again". Martin and Amanda. "I really enjoyed it." Jamie. "I think that was the best holiday ever." Dylan. "I have really enjoyed this holiday especially spending lots of time in the pool and La Vuelta going past in Puerto Lope. I hope to come back again and experience the lovely villa and its amazing surroundings." Billy.

Lovely holiday. The villa is located in a perfect location that gave us both time to relax and unwind, it is so peaceful. Graeme and Lydia you have a great villa with everything and more anyone coming on holiday could wish for, it is certainly the best equipped we have had the pleasure of staying in. Deb and Rob.

We had a fantastic time at Los Arrendajos,....Alan (agent) was very informative and the house had everything we needed, if not more. We really did have a great week- Montefrio is stunning and the children enjoyed walking up to the castle. Many, many thanks you have a stunning place and we are very envious! We will not hesitate to recommend it to friends.........JM. August 2009

We have had an exceptionally enjoyable week here at the villa, only ventured out twice.....The pool was 23C... loved it. The villa is well kitted out and had everything we needed, outside lights brilliant. To be honest, if you're like us, everything you need is here - "stock up and enjoy" is my advice. Thank you very much for the loan of your home.... The Logans. June 2009
