Review holiday home Casa Retiro

” Of all holiday homes, villas and hotels we had during our two months trip in Portugal and Andalusia this property was clearly one of the best. Friendly welcome, helpful Dutch owners, nice clean fully furnished house in a beautiful area. Sitting on terrace in dark of the evening you really can enjoy the call of the owls

Review

” We stayed here in July with two families (4 kids) in two houses on the “mountain”. In one word: fantastic. The veranda makes it complete and we every night we sat there enjoying the surroundings and tranquility. It is small-scale and that makes it fun. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the hosts create a wonderful holiday atmosphere. We will definitely come back sometime .
