Rural Accommodation Andalucia

We had 5 wonderful days at Cortijo Las Rosas. Only wish it could have been longer. The setting was beautifully remote, but accessible. The conversion of the farm is just gorgeous – the photos do not lie. We ordered the welcome pack which had everything one could possibly need and the kitchen was better equipped than my own. Gillian and Marylynne were the perfect hosts with the ability to blend into the background but appear with brochures, maps, or further local information with an almost psychic ability. Plenty to do locally if you feel the need to leave the local area – Grenada and Cordoba are both within easy reach and well worth a visit. It feels as thought we are repeating ourselves and echoing what has been said before, but it\’s all true. We cannot recommend it highly enough and, hopefully, we will be back soon. Thank you 🙂

LLas Rosas est un lieu difficile a oublier et a quitter après une semaine de vacances. La location est bien concue décorée avec goá»t et parfaitement équipée- rien ne manque et tout est en excellent état – du coquetier au grill pain en passant par les serviettes pour la piscine. Le cadre du cogito est inoubliable, au milieu des oliviers avec vue sur une large vallée. Les photos du site montrent la realite du cojito las rosas.

We had the most wonderful experience at Cortijo Las Rosas. From the very first email enquiry Gillian and Marylynne helped to shape our trip to Andalucia with recommendations for places in Granada, modifying the arrival pack to my dietary requirements and of course the spot on directions to the casita.

Follow their instructions to the place they are spot on…Incredibly rural, surrounded by olive groves we had every excuse to stay put in the our Casita Galgo. It\’s perfectly suited for 2 people, the ground floor bedroom is cool and airy with a great ensuite bathroom. Upstairs via the outdoor steps is the kitchen and living area with great views across the valley and catches the sunset. Brilliantly equipped for self catering (including plastic options for poolside meals and drinks!) they provided salt, stock cubes, and the delicious local co-op olive oil. As a cook, this was incredibly refreshing for self catering.

Outside the house within the grounds of our casita was a lovely private terrace and BBQ. The pool is really refreshing, and every little thing thought of here… sunshades, inflatable\’s, poolside fridge and freezer, cushions…

The area is lovely. The local shops have most things you could need, but the larger towns such as Rute have well stocked supermarkets.

You really couldn\’t ask for a better place to stay.. personal friendly service, with excellent facilities and a peaceful place to catch some sun.

Cortijo Las Rosas is probably the most peaceful place in the whole of
Spain. Nestled deep in the ancient olive groves that fill the
countryside and immersed amongst the gorgeous wafts of fig trees lies
your oasis, waiting for you, clad in beautiful white, cool, calm,
definitely collected and a palace to tranquility. You can wind your time
sipping Rioja relaxing by the beautifully situated and cool pool or
drift away to the swallows and crickets as the stars explode in front of
your eyes, like the best sci- fi movie…all you need is a friendly hand
to hold and a large beer! During the days there is enough to see in the
surrounding area and Cortijo is situated far enough from the madding
crowds of the resorts to make you feel special, illustrious, tanned and
beautiful. But, best of all and what startled us most was perhaps not
the Cortijo itself, but its owners, who will do nearly anything to make
your stay as enjoyable as possible – 5 star, in fact 6, 7, 8 star
treatment for everyone. Nothing is too hard, complicated or problematic.
Perfect for the young romantic couple, kids, the elderly and families,
you are in for a real treat. Help yourself, lie back and dream of
England…it\’s very far away!!!

I 100% recommend Cortijo Las Rosas ( I stayed in Casita Liebre). Marylynne and Gillian have thought of everything that you would possibly need for your stay, leading to a very relaxing and peaceful holiday. They are extremely helpful and knowledegable about the local area but are not intrusive. The casitas are very comfortable and the pool area has spectacular views over the olive groves. I recommend the \”welcome pack\”- this gives you all the food and drink needed for first few days. An excellent holiday cottage,

We had a lovely week\’s stay at Las Rosas in March 2010 – although the weather wasn\’t great, the casita was comfortable, welcoming and extremely well-equipped, and the location among the olive groves is very attractive. It\’s also well-situated for day trips to Cordoba and Granada (following the helpful detailed directions provided!). Gillian and Marylynne were attentive hosts who made us feel very welcome and we had an extremely relaxing time. Hoping to go back one day when it\’s a bit warmer to try out the pool!

An ideal and picturesque location for outdoor pursuits like walking, bird watching or mountain bikes, yet equally well located for day trips to Granada, Cordoba, etc. Very well equipped with a beautiful pool, although the water was too cold for a swim in March. The Casita is fitted to a very high standard and is clean, comfortable and well managed.

Gillian and Marylynne are extremely helpful and pleasant and cater for every need including providing detailed information and ideas for a wide range of activities and restaurants in the local area. Surrounded by olive groves the views are lovely and the birdsong and wildflowers in March were exceptional. We had a wonderful 2 weeks and would recommend it to anyone with similar outdoor interests.

We spent 6 nights at Los Rosas in April 2010. We stayed in the very well equipped 2 peron casita, Galgos. The weather was very kind to us and we visited Granada and Cordoba following the excellent directions provided by Marylnne and Gillian.
The welcome pack was great as was the provision of all the basic requirements. Logs, firelighters and barbecue coals were all available for use in the casita.
We would recommend las Rosas for a relaxing holiday away from the crowds and especially if you enjoy self catering. I loved preparing meals which we ate in our own private courtyard. We hope to return.

We spent 4 days at Cortijo in february. Despite a rainy weather, we enjoyed a lot this stay. The casita (Liebre) is very comfortable, beautiful and cosy, well furnished too. It was a warm and peaceful stay for all the family. We felt there like at home. We just want to come again !
Marylynne and Gillian are the perfect hosts and so friendly, we just felt sad when leaving the Cortijo.
I recommend you the welcome pack !

Nous avons passé 4 jours au cortijo en février et malgré un temps pluvieux, c\’est notre meilleure étape en Andalousie. La casita (Liebre) est un petit havre de paix et de douceur, une décoration simple mais très chaleureuse avec un équipement digne des plus grands hôtels.
Nous étions comme à la maison avec en plus, la chaleur et l\’aide bienveillante de ces deux merveilleuses hôtesses que sont Marylynne et Gillian. Que dire de plus sinon qu\’en partant, toute la famille parlait d\’y revenir et que nous étions tristes de quitter cet endroit.
Je vous recommande également le \”welcome pack\”, très convivial et vraiment bon marché.

Cortijo las Rosas, nuestro alojamiento preferido in Andalucia.

Merci encore pour votre accueil si chaleureux Marylynne et Gillian, nous avons passé un moment merveilleux avec vous.

There\’s something magical that keeps drawing us back to Cortijo Las Rosas. Set in lush Olive Groves this rural idyl provides the perfect platform to explore the surrounding areas. Gilly and Marylynne where the perfect hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome and made our stay so memorable. Cortijo Las Rosas certainly is the jewel in Andalusia\’s crown.
