Finca El Olivar is a luxurious, spacious and extremely comfortable, four bedroom finca set within its own olive grove and surrounded by rolling farmland with panoramic views of the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda, Sierra de las Nieves and Grazelema National Park. Decorated in a soothing palette of white and muted colours, with whitewashed beams and terracotta floors throughout, the finca is beautifully and luxuriously furnished in a rustic contemporary style with design classics, vintage pieces and original artwork. The house is exceptionally comfortable and well-appointed with a well equipped kitchen, hotel quality mattresses and linens, thick, fluffy towels and glorious bathrooms. Ideally located, in the highly sought after, unspoilt, los Frontones area, within walking distance of a fabulous hotel restaurant, the finca is rural, tranquil and completely private, yet has easy access to the beautiful, medieval city of Ronda, (one of the finest pueblos blancos), and the many charms of Andalucia; Ronda is less than ten minutes away and the lively village of Arriate only five. Escape the stresses of modern life in total luxury and peace - The atmosphere is extremely calming and everything is on hand for a fabulously relaxing holiday. Superbly suited to family get-togethers or romantic getaways, with its thick walls, shady terraces and air conditioning, the house stays cool even in the height of summer. A wood burner and central heating keep the house cosy through the short Andalucian winters. Mature vines provide much needed shade over the south facing terrace which stretches the full width of the house and overlooks the garden with its inviting, private pool and stunning, 360 degree views. Take a leisurely breakfast on the east facing terrace looking towards the olive grove and lush valley or sip a glass of wine from one of the many local vineyards and watch the sun set over the mountains to the west. A paella burner, barbecue and well-stocked herb garden add to the appeal of al fresco dining. The house sits in a nature lover’s, bird watcher’s and walker’s paradise with walks right from the door and the stunning vistas offer incredible inspiration to those with an artistic or photographic inclination. The gastronomic specialities and creative cuisine of the local area wait to be discovered, this is a foodie’s dream. Ideal for a family holiday or well earned short break, spacious enough for nine yet romantic and intimate. Families are well catered for, from toddlers to teenagers, with thoughtful little touches; toys, books, games, the fabulous pool in the large, enclosed garden, table tennis, wi-fi, artist’s materials and a comprehensive guide to the sights and delights of the local area mean no one will be getting bored. Activities and experiences such as yoga, pilates, horseriding and wine tasting can easily be arranged or simply relax in the complete peace and serenity of the garden where sunny days are lingering and plentiful, and stars crowd the night sky. El Olivar offers luxury self catering and the best of both worlds - rural tranquility with fabulous views, yet easy access to the beautiful city of Ronda.

THE GARDEN Relax in the secluded and enclosed garden by the large, private pool with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Set within two acres of organic olive groves, the grounds of El Olivar have been designed for outdoor living and making the very most of time spent with family and friends. The large, enclosed, totally private and well equipped garden has ample furniture and an expansive lawn surrounding the 10m x 5m private pool. With views in every direction, there are terraces on each side of the house offering plenty of choice for both sun and shade and seamlessly connecting the inside and outside spaces. Facing south, the largest, vine covered terrace, has two sofas looking towards the pool, over olive groves and farmland to the city of Ronda. This is the perfect place to sit and read or enjoy a well-earned snooze in the shade. Or, if you are feeling a bit more energetic, you can enjoy a game of ping pong on the fabulous outdoor table tennis table. To the east is the main dining terrace with a handcrafted oak table that comfortably seats ten and invites long, relaxing mealtimes at the edge of the olive grove. With a barbeque, outdoor paella burner and herbs within picking distance, this is the ideal setting for family and friends to gather. On the north side are lovely views to the hills behind the house, this uncovered, but often shady, terrace has a large flat area perfect for a spot of petanque. The west terrace has double doors that lead directly into the kitchen with an oak dining table, cork stools and Fermob sofa and armchairs from which to watch the sunsets and soak up the glorious views of the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda. The large, bamboo covered pergola at the pool’s shallow end has a new double daybed with soft mattress and superb views towards the mountains in the west. Parasols and six comfortable wooden loungers surround the pool and encourage lazy afternoons. The pool itself is 5m x 10m with steps into the shallow end and is perfect for a cooling dip and large enough for more serious exercise. Approached via a single track road, the finca sits in an unspoilt area of outstanding beauty. Throughout the day there is ample shade to keep cool and perhaps have a siesta and of course, there is plenty of sun. Balmy evenings encourage candlelit gatherings on one of the terraces or a romantic walk under the stars ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Pool loungers - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

It is also a wonderful spot to spend time with kids, there were lot of toys and the nature surroundings the property was exciting to visit for the toddlers (donkey, chicken, horses, etc.) Lucy, and Jon were easy to reach and Hilde was very nice to us. There is also a book in the house with recommendations which were very helpful to our family. We hope to be back again one day. Thank you !! ##### patricia g.

Mar 28, 2019 #### Incredible Place, Wonderfully Curated This place is absolutely beautiful and has been really wonderfully set up to feel special and homey. There are well-designed touches everywhere you look, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The house is great, and yet I think the outdoor spaces might be even better. There are perfect little spaces all over the house to read, write, draw, and relax. The front porch with the morning sun falling through the trellis was my personal favorite. On top of it all, there is a really great personal guidebook of the area, that led us to some of our favorite things we saw in Andalusia. ##### Paul S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline W. Oct 17, 2018 #### Beautiful villa in stunning setting We had a lovely relaxing time at El Olivar with our three children aged 10, 8 and 5, and my parents who are in their 70s. The villa catered beautifully for everyone. The main point to note is that this is a seriously stylish property. The owners are masters of design and the result is a chic, modern and incredibly comfortable place to stay. Everything is perfect. The interior is a mix of function and beauty without compromise to either. Every small detail has been thought of. Outside is equally as stunning, not only because of the design features but also because the view is incredible. The villa is set in a valley bowl and the surrounding area has hints of Tuscany about it. I will not forget the sight of a hot air ballon floating towards us from Ronda! The pool was sparkling clean (as was the whole villa) and the gardens are lovely. Lots of places to sit and eat or drink. The bamboo daybed is fabulous. You do definitely need a car for this villa as it is very remote. Ronda is a bit of a drive away. It is a place to totally relax and kick back. We came back refreshed and ready to get back to real life. Thank you for an enchanting stay! ##### Caroline W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon W. Oct 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A truly fantastic home away from home We had delayed our holiday at El Olivar from June to actually start in September 2020 hoping that COVID-19 might be a distant memory by then and Lucy was very accommodating in allowing us to do so. That obviously didn't work out quite as planned but it really shouldn't put you off staying here either. Going during a pandemic might be the best decision you make; I think it was ours! The villa was beautifully prepared for our arrival and is set in the countryside with little or no contact with anyone locally. The check-in process is very easy and again Lucy and Hilde couldn't have helped more, adjusting things to our amended flight details and arrival time. The villa itself was clean, spacious, very comfortable and had everything we could want. Rustic charm with all the mod cons and interesting original artwork dotted around. The pool was divine and the three terraces meant we could take advantage of the beautiful views, glorious weather and magnificent sunsets. There were also outdoor blankets to keep the evening chill off and yoga mats for the yogis in our group too. So if you don't want to leave the villa then there's no real need to do so as it has everything you need for a safe and enjoyable stay. However, never leaving the villa is to miss a trick or two. The delights of Ronda are around a 10 minute drive away and what surprised all in our party was how safe we felt walking around the sights. Everyone, young and old, wear masks all the time and one of the only benefits of being in a pandemic was, we seemed to have seen the town at its best i.e. tourist free! What a fantastic holiday and one that will stay long in the memory for all the right reasons. Trust me, book it now, you won't be disappointed. ##### Simon W.

The home looks nothing like the pristine pictures.We’ve done home stays around the world & even rented our own home, so we know the challenges. However, this was our worst experience ever. We booked a week,but left early.No one met us at the house. There were no entry instructions and when we called Hilde from the road, she said she sent everything to my WhatsApp account, which I have not used in years and never sent as a contact. She was irritated by the call, mentioning several times she was at work and “couldn’t talk”. The entry to the house was not straightforward so not a stress-free arrival. The house was cold and boiler turned off. Half the lights in this very dark house don’t work. The musty smell of the house is horrible! Even worse the waste smell from the bathrooms. -The grout in the main bath is black,the drain cover is broken so you stand on a sharp, exposed opening while showering. The bottom of the master sink is BLACK! All the furniture is stained, the pool loungers broken.The narrow dirt road to house is pot-holed, stressful & 20 minutes to town. The house is marketed by the owner as a lovingly maintained family home yet they have not visited for over a year. Homes are like people…in need of constant upkeep and TLC. They cannot be ignored for long periods of time and then expected to be at their best. Note: we have many pictures to prove our points but not allowed to post. ##### Sara L.

My family had a wonderful time at this villa in Ronda. The home is well cared for and the layout is perfectly suited for families with multiple children. My kids loved the beautiful pool, and the surrounding area is breathtaking. Getting into Ronda was a quick 10-15 minute drive. We loved our stay here and would go back in a heart beat!! ##### Lindsay D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria M.

Hilde was very welcoming and informative upon arrival. The villa has the most amazing views, it had everything we needed and more! The kids absolutely loved been in the pool everyday. Lots of beautiful places, towns and lakes to explore, all within a short driving distance. Would highly recommend and we would love to come back and stay one day! ##### Victoria M.

Well designed and managed home, it’s clear the owners have great taste and appreciate quality, from the kitchen appliances to the bedding, everything was comfortable and high end. The setting is truly amazing - quiet, beautiful, very pleasant in every way. The pool was a huge plus for our family and we enjoyed many hours outside around the pool or on one of the several beautiful patios. It made venturing into town harder because the home was so lovely. ##### Joel C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tessa v.

We hebben last minute geboekt en ze verzekerde ons dat we al ons geld terugkregen als we door covid niet konden komen. Het huis heeft een heel fijne sfeer, we hebben een heerlijke week gehad! Een ruim huis met goede bedden. En dat mooie uitzicht! Ook erg leuk is dat er overal om het huis terrassen zijn waar je kan zitten. Twee eettafels buiten zodat je altijd de schaduw kan vinden. Prachtige omgeving met leuke zwemplekjes, Ronda en heerlijke restaurants. ##### Tessa v. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander S. Jan 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Andalucian perfection Perfect retreat to relax and enjoy the Andalucian region. The house is perfection. There is plenty of space and all details have been thought through with consideration. We were there in January so were able to make use of the log burning fire. Owners are responsive and attentive without being intrusive. Bedrooms are all incredibly well equipped with gorgeous crisp bedding, hotel-style towels and robes. When we arrived a basket of provisions had been provided which was warmly welcomed. The grounds of the house are beautiful and peaceful, there are local farms which provide the morning soundtrack and Ronda is only a short drive. The handbook provided is the most complete guide I have ever seen, any question can be answered in that book including some wonderful recommendations. If we are ever back in the region (and the house is available) we would not think twice about booking. Thank you for a wonderful time. ##### Alexander S.

This place is a beautiful place, inside and out! You are close to a good size city, Ronda, but you feel you are in your own little world, removed from the everyday congestion of people.

The house is in a beautiful location, surrounded by stunning views. It is very quiet and relaxing, yet conveniently located only a 10 minute drive from Ronda. The house is beautifully designed, highly functional and in excellent condition. Three families (6 adults and 2 children who were part of our group) stayed very comfortably. The host is wonderful, very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return one day with my family. Christina, Ottawa Canada ##### Philippe J.

May 9, 2019 #### Amazing I loved everything about this house. We've stayed in quite a few rental properties all over the world, and this one has been my favorite. I spent one week at El Olivar with my husband and two young kids last July, and I wish we'd had another week. We enjoyed the pool every day and just relaxed at the house, with occasional ventures out to Ronda and the surrounds. Lucy was extremely helpful, with detailed answers to my questions about nearby restaurants and activities for the kids. She even put me in contact with a private chef who came to the house two different nights to cook us dinner. Everything was seamless. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend. ##### Tara N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul S. Mar 28, 2019 #### Incredible Place, Wonderfully Curated, and a Perfect Experience. Thank you! This place is absolutely beautiful and has been really wonderfully set up to feel special and homey. There are well-designed touches everywhere you look, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The house is great, and yet I think the outdoor spaces might be even better. There are perfect little spaces all over the house to read, write, draw, and relax. The front porch with the morning sun falling through the trellis was my personal favorite. On top of it all, there is a really great personal guidebook of the area, that led us to some of our favorite things in Andalusia. Thank you for the wonderful place and a perfect experience! ##### Paul S.
