Beautiful, Considered design, makes for a unique peace space in the hills of Torrox...

There is not an inch of this casa that has not not been contemplated and considered by master sculptor, Rob Harding. We couldn't wait for the opportunity to experience this unique space ourselves. It is a beautiful experience to spend time at 'El Morusco'. Every aspect: textures, materials, architectural space, the use of light and the majestic views across the valley the wonderful the Mountains and the village lights of Frigiliana that make this a magical experience. And then, there are the sculptures, wrought in so many forms and mediums, that reads like a Museo, of this great artists body of work. It was a privilege to have an opportunity to spend a few days there, to rest and revive. Many Thanks to Rob, Maggie and TimSam. Gracias Dave H

Wir waren jetzt zum 3. mal in Folge in dieser wunderschönen Unterkunft. Die Aussicht und diese Ruhe sind perfekt um abzuschalten. Die Unterkunft eignet sich auch perfekt für Ausflüge, egal ob kurze Trips nach Frigiliana oder Málaga oder längere Touren nach Granada oder Sevilla. Immer gerne wieder.

Super schönes Ferienhaus

Super schönes Ferienhaus mitten in den Bergen. Perfekt zum abschalten, wandern, Ausflüge oder Tage am Meer. Torrox Costa und Nerja sind nur 25 Minuten entfernt. Frigilliana eines der schönsten Dörfer Spaniens sind mit dem Auto ebenfalls in 25 Minuten zu erreichen. Hervorzuheben sind die super freundlichen und aufmerksamen Gastgeber.

Week stay!

We had a lovely week at the property, it is in the most beautiful location and very special gardens, the fact that it is owned by artists is shown all over! There is no sign for the property from the main road which would help when arriving, we managed to get lost on arrival!

Sehr stilvolle Ferienwohnung

Wunderschöne, bis ins Detail stilvolle Ferienwohnung! Der Endlospool war einfach genial, ebenso der Blick in die Berge, aufs Meer, je nach dem von welcher Terrasse aus... Die Anfahrt ist sicher nicht für jedermanns Sache, aber man wird mit einem besonderen Ort belohnt! Und der liegt strategisch nicht schlecht! Granada, Malaga, Meer, alles nicht weit.... wir würden wieder gern hier herkommen

Ein herrliches Plätzchen zum Entspannen

El morusco ist ein wundervoll gelegenes Häuschen mit ganz besonderen Charme. Wir haben uns sowohl im hübsch gestalteten und eingerichteten Haus, als auch im kleinen, wilden Garten sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen. Einziger Kritikpunkt: das Kochgeschirr könnte ein bisschen hochwertiger sein (Besonders die Pfanne geht gar nicht).

Beautiful

Ders Robert, We had a wonderful relaxing time. What a beautiful place to stay. The view in the mountains is astonishing. The house is equipped with everything we needed. And it is a mix from traditional Andalusian Style and the Art Robert has created. The Pool is an absolutely eye-catcher and it fits perfekt in the environment. From Torrox you can reach most of the spots (Malaga,Grenada) in 1 or 2 hours. But most of our time we spent at the house´s garden. Thank you Robert

Robert und Maggie haben hier ein wahres Paradies geschaffen! Wir hatten traumhafte Tage in diesem Objekt. Es steckt voller liebevoller Details und die Umgebung und Aussicht laden zum Entspannen ein. Der perfekter Ort um die Energiereserven wieder vollständig aufzufüllen. Vor allem die Ruhe ist sehr eindrücklich und ein wahrer Schatz in dem lauten und stressigen Alltag den wir täglich erleben. Wir werden definitv bald wieder kommen! Vielen Vielen Dank das wir so eine wundervolle Zeit dort verbringen durften.

Wohlfühloase in den Bergen

Wir waren zwar nur für 6 Tage zu gast in dieser wunderbaren Unterkunft, aber diese paar Tage waren einfach toll. Die Ferienwohnung ist exakt wie auf den Bildern zu sehen und wahnsinnig gemütlich. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl und der Urlaub kann sofort beginnen, da sich die Besitzer dieses Domizils wirklich rührend um alle Belange kümmern. Wir werden gerne wieder kommen.

Pure Entspannung und Erholung

Das Objekt liegt in den Bergen über der Stadt Torrox mit Blick auf das Meer und in einer ganz ruhigen Lage. Die Anfahrt war etwas abenteuerlich (für uns Großstädter), aber Dank Rob´s Beschreibung super zu finden. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen erholsamen und entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Der Pool war super und hat uns zum Abkühlen an heißen Tagen eingeladen. Rob und Maggie sind tolle Gastgeber und haben uns bei jeder Frage helfen können. Wir planen jetzt schon einen neuen Besuch in dem Objekt und empfehlen es gerne weiter.

Perfetta per una vacanza in mezzo alla natura

La vacanza in questa casa in collina è perfetta per gli amanti della natura e del design. Struttura nuova ancora un po' da perfezionare (mancano diverse stoviglie e pentole se come noi preferite mangiare a casa e non al ristorante) ma tutto nelle aspettative. Robert è davvero molto simpatico e disponibile.

Location adatta agli amanti della natura

Nonostante la distanza dal mare il posto è davvero meraviglioso ideale per amanti di passeggiate a cavallo, moutain bike e moto o quad. La struttura è nuovissima ancora da perfezionare un po' per quanto riguarda gli accessori (per esempio poche stoviglie e pentole per le persone come noi che preferiscono cucinare invece di andare al ristorante). Silenzio assoluto. Robert è davvero una persona simpatica.
