Casa Encina is a beautiful comfortable old-looking house, with two terraces, to enjoy the sun and/ or shade. It is the house nearest to our communal pool. Composed as following: (ground floor only), entrance by terrace to large living room, two seated sofa, TV with satellite . A fully equipped kitchen, dining area with four seats, bathroom with shower and toilet, sink and a royal bedroom, equipped with two individually beds (90 x 200 cm). Each window gives you a spectacular view at the garden, and the pool. Every window has shutters. On the terrace in the shade of a big old tree, at the backside of the house you could think you were alone on the world. Electric heating.. Note: both the Finca itself as the pool are fenced.

Due to the Covid-19 issue, we are cleaning the houses now with ozon as well, to make sure that at your arival you will have an completly clean and hygienic house waiting for you..
Finca la Hijuela is located in the hills near Vejer, in a small town, on a plot of almost 6000 m2. There are 4 totally separated houses for rent on the Finca; Casa Tepuana (2 bedrooms), Casa Encina (1 bedroom), Casa Azahar (1 bedroom), Casa Madreselva (1 bedroom). Each house is isolated and private, with its own garden, terrace and barbecue. To be in the middle of nature. Surrounded by very old oak trees and more than 30 orange, lemon and lime trees, as well as other fruits. In the center of the Finca there is a large swimming pool (10 x 5 m). In the mature and colorful garden, you have all the privacy you could want. We are close to; Vejer, Conil, Medina Sidonia, Seville, Cádiz, Tarifa, Gibraltar. Enjoy the most beautiful beaches on the Costa de la Luz with more than 15 kilometers of fine sandy beaches. The closest beach is about 8 kilometers. You can take a trip to Morocco. Several nice restaurants are nearby, as Vejer de la Frontera has been nominated as a new gastronomic destination. Small shop for daily needs nearby. This is the perfect place to make your vacation days very special days. Finca la Hijuela is for all those who love the sound of cowbells in the distance, while zipping a wine on your terrace, listening to the owls and the smell of jasmine.
Very peaceful ...
Perfect houses for a stay away from the hubbub of Vejer and Conil, but so close that it is easy to make visits there, for example to the beaches.

Another fab holiday. Karin and Carlos great hosts. Beautiful gardens and pool. The tranquility is amazing. Special mention to Ruffee and Hippy, their gorgeous dogs
It’s a wonderful place near Vejer and Conil. It is like a small paradise.

Perfect hideaway. A tranquil paradise. Beautifully landscaped gardens.
The chalet was comfortable and well equipped with charming touches. You are perfectly located to explore local towns and beaches and then return to get away from it all and relax on your terrace or by the pool.

Very good holiday
We had a very nice stay in the house. Everything was like written in the text and showed on the pictures. We loved the calm and quiet stay, the cats and the dogs and listening to the owls during the night. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful traditional spanish farm house
Absoluetly beautiful house set in an amazing well kept perfectly manicured Finca. Our 2 year old son loved it here, lots and lots to see and do in the garden - He especially loved the tortoise's, the chickens and the trampoline! Very relaxing time all round. Carin made us feel most welcome and gave us plenty of useful advice on visiting the local area. Would thoroughly recommend! Thanks so much Carin x

Just gorgeously relaxing
We were at la Hijuela for the third time and when we arrived we felt at home immediately. The owners Carin and Carlos make sure that nothing is left to be desired when you arrive. The finca itself is such a beauty - like a little paradise where you can recharge your batteries. We will certainly be back!
P.S. La Muela itself doesn't offer many restaurants if you don't want to cook but there's one not very far away. It is called Patria and is well worth a visit. Do check there to find fresh Andalusian food served in style and with a view.
The place was in an area where all homes apparently had to be behind giant fences and gates. You have to travel tiny, bumpy dirt roads to get there. The host was very strange towards me, making me feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions. She also has no problem just showing up at your supposedly private home and often pops out of her home when she sees you walking to your car (you have to walk by her home to leave or get to your parking spot). My rental car was also damaged while parked there. I cut my trip short to get out of there as I was not at all comfortable being there, and I did not feel safe there.

Sit back and enjoy!
The perfect location if you want a completely relaxing environment which is also handy for interesting days out. The little house we stayed in was beautiful - all built in the traditional Andalusian style with so much attention to detail. Close to the pool, we were able to swim before breakfast every morning, and relax on the loungers in the afternoons whilst still being handy for cups of tea, glasses of sherry, vino, sun cream, books, internet and all other essential (?) relaxation-enhancing equipment. The garden is lush and beautiful, and all kinds of animals made themselves apparent - the owners' cute little dogs, mother hens with clutches of chicks, tortoises, cats (and kittens), plus the local bird life, including swallows regularly swooping down to the pool for a drink on the wing, and unidentified others singing their hearts out. We loved it. We visited Cadiz, Gibraltar and Tangier, and could also have included Seville but will save that for another time - the lure of the garden and the pool were too great. The local town, Vejer, is gorgeous. Tip: buy a good map - it's like the Hampton Court maze. We recommend this Finca highly, and hope future guests enjoy their stays there as much as we did. Thank you Carin and Carlos.

Beautiful house and garden
We definitely had a great and relaxing time at Finca La Hijuela and enjoyed some sunny days in the beautiful and extremely well kept garden just outside our small house (Casa Encina), which was very nicely and lovingly decorated, clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. We even dared a swim in the pool just in front of Casa Encina, even though the water was still freezing.
People who are sensitive to cold should ask the owners for a heater in the spring months though; we were there at the beginning of April. Especially during the nights it was still cold and windy, and it took us some time to get the damp and cold out of the house during our stay there, leaving the windows wide open during the day when the sun was out.
The only details we missed about the house was a little more space to put clothes etc. in the bedroom and maybe a bigger sofa to relax inside the house when it was too cold to go outside.
There are some wonderful white beaches just 10 mins by car, and shopping is possible in various towns nearby. And as to Andalusian culture and culinary there is plenty of stuff to do in the region.
For animal lovers the place is ideal; we spent lots of time with the friendly cats and dogs around the house, who are impressively well educated and not intrusive at all, so they don't enter the guest houses if they're not allowed to. I really missed Kati in particular when we were back home...
Thanks again to Carin and Carlos and all the best!
Wir haben eine Woche bei Carin und Carlos in dem kleinen Häuschen Encina verbracht.Es war alles wunderbar! Es ist eine sehr saubere und gut ausgestattete Unterkunft mit Charme.Der Garten wird sehr gut gepflegt und der Pool ist einfach ein Traum! Es ist etwas abgelegen aber für uns war die Ruhe genau richtig.Am besten hat uns die dezente Gastfreundschaft von Carin und Carlos gefallen, so konnten wir entspannt unseren Urlaub genießen und haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt.Wir kommen sicher wieder!
Todo perfecto. Nunca defrauda, ni la casa, con todo lo necesario, el jardín espectacular, cuidado al máximo y, por supuesto, los anfitriones con su trato exquisitoHemos tenido la suerte de descubrir este trocito de paraíso
No es la primera ni la última vez que descansamos en la Hijuela, porque la hijuela es para eso, desconectar y descansar.
Un jardín escondido en la muela, con una piscina maravillosa y repleta de vegetación.
Las playas a 15 minutos en coche, Vejer a 10, Conil a otros 10.
Sus dueños, Carlos y Carin, son encantadores y reservados, pero estarán ahí cuando los necesites.
Las casas (hay 4) con estilo rústico, porche, barbacoa y jardín privado.
No sé qué más decir, siempre que hemos ido, hemos vuelto con más ganas de volver. Si te gusta la zona y l tranquilodad, no lo dudes.
Lugar maravilloso para relajarse y descansar.Los anfitriones, Carin y Carlos, sencillamente encantadores. La casa limpia, cómoda y con todo lo necesario.
Es imprescindible volver
Prachtige woning in authentiek Spaanse sfeer ingericht, omgeven door een verzorgde tuin met fijn zwembad. Mooie locatie om Vejer en het zuiden van Andalusië te verkennen. Carin is zeer gastvrij, we hebben hier heerlijke relaxte dagen gehad.
Wij hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in de Finca, Carin en Carlos zijn zeer gastvrij en je kunt altijd bij hen terecht.
Ons huis was ruim, schoon en had alles wat we nodig hadden.
We hebben genoten van de prachtige tuin, de zwaluwen die een nest hadden onder onze overkapping, de schatige hondjes die kwamen buurten, de vele vinders, kippen en vele exotische vogels. En natuurlijk heerlijk zwemmen in het mooie zwembad.
Het is ideaal voor dagtrips naar leuke dorpjes in de buurt maar ook de mooie stad Cádiz is vlakbij.
Dus niet naar de Spaanse drukke Costa’s maar fijn naar deze Finca😊
De Atlantische oceaan is op vijf minuten rijden en hier heb je zeer rustige stranden waar het heerlijk relaxt is (wij waren er eind mei).
Kortom wij kunnen het het iedereen aanbevelen en je hebt echt rust en ruimte na een uitstapje of dagje strand!
Wij komen zeker weer terug!
Petite maison, bien equipée et suffisament grande au sein d'un très beau jardin, facile d'accès ; les propriètaires sont très agréables et discrets , leurs chiens très attachants .
Un poco difícil de encontrar, pero estancia correcta, con piscina (perfecto para pasar el calor). Zona tranquila y bien cuidada.
Los propietarios muy majos.
So sollte Urlaub sein, tolles Ambiente und großartige Gastgeber, Carin und Carlos haben keinerlei Wünsche offen gelassen, ein Ort zum Träumen und Entspannen, alles noch besser wie beschrieben, unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als übertroffen! Ganz liebe Grüße an die beiden, eine tolle Zeit in der Casa Encina auf La Hijuela, wir kommen gerne wieder, Beste Grüße Corinna & Stefan
Es la tercera vez que nos alojamos en La Hijuela y seguimos encantados. El jardín, las casas, la piscina, la ubicación cercana y apartada a la vez...y por encima de todo, Carin y Carlos.
Ya estamos deseando volver.
Wir haben uns auf der Finca la Hijuela sehr wohl gefühlt! Das Häuschen war für uns perfekt und bot alles, was man benötigt und ist liebevoll eingerichtet.Es war schön, seine Ruhe zu haben, aber dennoch nicht allein zu sein - Carin hat uns des öfteren mit Rat und Tat unterstützt. Der Pool ist super, der Garten ist super und wir werden die kleine Schildkröte und die 3 süßen Hunde, sehr vermissen!
Sehr gepflegte, botanisch interessante Gartenanlage mit sauberem Swimmingpool. Karen und Carlos sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Anwesen liegt in ländlicher Umgebung. Der ungeteerte Anfahrtsweg hat sehr viele Schlaglöcher (kann reizend für Gelenke sein). Es gibt viele Tiere, die keine Scheu haben und manchmal etwas aufdringlich sind (3 kleine Hunde; Hühner; Schwalben, die über dem Eingangsbereich nisten und auf das T-Shirt koten, dafür aber Stechmücken fressen; große, aber harmlose Ameisen in der Küche; drei putzige Ratten im Gebüsch, die sich diskret wieder auf das Nachbargrundstück zurückziehen, wenn man ihnen zuwinkt). Wir mögen Tiere.
