El Rancho is a luxury holiday retreat, ( license No. RTA: VTAR MA 01197) set in the heart of the Andalucian countryside, surrounded by 4 acres of private organic olive groves, with vast views of pine clad mountains. It is also a small Organic olive farm with horse riding facilities, and offers 2 exclusive self catering cottages El Hispano ( I bedroom Cottage/Studio, Ref - 62275)and El Pasa Fina (2 bedroom cottage, Ref - 62274) and El Alter Real ( 2 bedroom cottage Ref - 5257247)The cottages have been beautifully designed and constructed to the highest standard with extensive use of handmade ladrious tiles, granite work surfaces and authentic beamed ceilings. Both cottages feature modern bathrooms and kitchens. At El Rancho you will receive a warm welcome from your friendly hosts Jacque and Garret, where the accent is placed firmly on the "Better things in life". Guests come for the sheer tranquility, the amazing off road horse riding and the exclusive house party atmosphere. Whether you simply want to relax in the heated jacuzzi with a glass of fine Rioja or teck through the Andalician mountains on horseback you will have an experience to remember. The cottages are both centred around landscaped gardens and terraces with 2 swimming pools. Both cottages have private dining and sunbathing terraces and have been individually designed and lovingly furnished in a typically Andalucian style, to the highest standards. El Hispano features its own private walled courtyard terrace with additional outside dining area, built in gas barbecue and sunloungers.An ideal retreat for couples and families of all ages, seeking a relaxing holiday. Ideally located for sightseeing, (Alhambra Palace, Ronda, Seville) and yet only 40 mins from the beaches of the Costa del Sol, 20 mins from the lakes of Iznajar. The traditional village of Villanueva del Trabuco with its numerous tapas bars and restaurants is just 5 minutes away.

The shallow end features Roman steps and the deep end is over 3 metres deep. The pool is constantly cleaned and monitored with the chlorine and PH levels maintained daily. The terraces around the pool feature an abundance of sun loungers and parasols and everywhere you look there are planters full of flowers giving an array of colour throughout the year. The landscaped terraces provide an ideal place to relax and soak up the summer sunshine. We also offer guests the opportunity to ride our horses accompanied through the countryside. The scenery here, really is second to none, and one of the best ways to enjoy the stunning countryside, is just like they have done for centuries, upon horse back. We use various trails throughout the mountains and vary the routes according to guests individual requirements.
