Los Algarrobales - El Rancho Montecorto by Ruralidays

Villa located in Montecorto, province of Malaga, Andalucia.

The house will guarantee you enjoy the holidays you deserve. It is located in a natural setting, characterised by breathtaking beauty, which used to be our ancestors' abode since prehistory. The villa belongs to Montecorto, a town with a thousand-year-old history in the Serrania de Ronda, in Malaga. Bordering with the town of Gastor, it is the perfect place to engage in the route of the white towns of Cadiz.

The holiday home is a 120 m2 estate, isolated in the spectacular natural surroundings of the prehistoric valley of the dolmens, in the Sierra of Cadiz. In this villa, you will have at your disposal two bedrooms with heating, the first one equipped with a double bed, the other with two single beds. Moreover, there is a bathroom with shower, a vast dining-living room with a cosy fireplace and air-con, and a completely equipped independent kitchen.

In the outdoor area, the villa is surrounded by a huge garden with a patio and a private pool, in addition to a parking lot. It is also provided with barbeque, whose use is prohibited from June 1 to September 15. This is because the villa is located in a protected environment, which has received the name of Property of Cultural Interest. On those dates, the owner will provide you with an electric iron. The breathtaking views of the hill of the Sierra de la Grazalema and the Sierra of Cadiz, of the Tajo de Lagarín and the hill of Montecorto that you can enjoy from here, will characterise your stay with a pleasant atmosphere endorsed by the surrounding nature, which is typical of this area. Moreover, you can hear the birds singing, who are used to nesting in the nearby Natural Park of Grazalema.

The villa was awarded as one of the best fifty villas in Europe by the journal Condé Nast Travellers in 2000, for its landscapes and architectural characteristics.

The farm is approximately 245.000 square meters and it welcomes a total of 14 houses. However, this villa is located far away from the rest of them, to guarantee your privacy.

We suggest you let nature welcome you in this spectacular environment. Enjoy everything, from the range of colours that mark the journey of the sun, to the starry night. From the magic of sounds, including the silence of the night, plants, animals, wind.

There grow tall trees typical of the Mediterranean area. In the highest part, you will find that this site has also been chosen by incredible animals, such as the colony of more than 60 griffon vultures that nest there, among other birds, that will make you enjoy their flight by just looking up in the sky The mountain goats succeed in leaving the children with a smile of surprise on their faces since they could pass very close to them when looking for water (it is obligatory not to disturb the fauna). Very close to the farm is the route to the Dolmen del Gastor. A small Neolithic Dolmen is to be found a few steps away from the house, where farming tools were found.
