| "We stayed for two weeks in August/September 2009 it was just a lovely property, after you drove down the narrow bumpy track to the house you soon realised that whilst you could see your neighbours you were not within ear shot. The house had a patio area which had a railing which bordered a valley and a fantastic view I spent a lot of time just staring at the valley. The pool was a proper pool not plastic, the air con in the house made a world of difference and the Free WiFi with 100% signal meant a lot to me.
The house had three bedrooms (two with air con) and the separate building contained a double bed, seating, and shower room with toilet and sink, again with air con.
Antonio and Sable came every two days to service the pool and water the garden and despite the language barrier, they helped us with any issues such as the spare gas bottle being empty.
The Sky TV all be it the free channels was useful especially the news channels and the main British TV channels, there was a DVD player and also a stereo.
We have rented a few houses in this price range but this was the best to date and we are considering re-booking for next year.

"The house is in a fairly isolated spot but within easy reach of Colmenar by car. Views from the terrace are lovely and it is very peaceful.
It is well situated for visiting Nerja, Malaga, Frigliana and surrounding white villages, and Granada all of which we went to.
The property is well furnished and comfortable. We had some problems with the air conditioning whilst we were there which took some time to resolve but the owners contact (Rocio) made every effort to sort it out and the caretakers Antonio and Isabella, whilst speaking no english are lovely and were as helpful as they could be whilst respecting our privacy.
There was no information at the house as regards nearest supermarket, recommended restaurants, Drs etc - we are seasoned villa holidaymakers and have found some sort of visitor pack or even a book for comments useful in the past.
Overall we had an excellent holiday and would consider returning to the area."
Owner reply:
:
Many thanks for the review Julie - please note a document containing details of all nearby amenities etc should have been issued to you by email automatically by the Villarenters website - if this didnt happen well look into it. We agree with your comments about having a visitors/comments book and will implement this excellent idea. All air conditioning units are being replaced - we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused to your holiday. Thank you for your kind comments re Rocio, Antonio and Isabel - good staff are hard to find these days, so we have been extremely lucky!

The property has lots of character, including an innovative pool house, and offers spectacular panoramic views of the countryside and mountains. Just relax by the pool and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Car essential as the location is remote. There are numerous places within striking distance that are well worth a day out - such as Granada, Ronda, Nerja and Malaga."

Excellent location for day trips to Malaga, Granada and Seville.
Colmenar had all the esssentials we needed to survive.
The villa and pool were clean and well maintained.
And wall to wall sunshine.
One of the best holidays weve had."

"property was fantastic. Brilliant views and location however quite remote and no good if you want a vibrant nightlife, if peace and quiet is foremost in your mind, book here.
you need a sky TV card.
Pool fantastic, pool house lovely feature.
Antonio and his wife looked after us and ensured we had the holiday we wanted. Not intrusive but there to look after us. Car essential.
We would definitely go to this Finca and area again, a thoroughly enjoyable time, watch the moon rise over the mountains....stunning. See the clouds early, very early in the morning, in the valley disperse, stunning. Relax by the pool with a book, not overlooked, and get that tan with a Martini, what a life."

Please note that a Sky card is now not required as there is one in the property at all times.

| "We stayed at the fabulous Finca Lejos for a week in July. This is a truly beautiful place...not only the high standard of the accommodation but also the breathtaking views of the mountains across the valley. We were welcomed by an extremely friendly caretaker on arrival which was a lovely way to start the holiday. The house itself has been finished to a very high specification the furniture is rustic yet practical and adds to the farmhouse effect of the property. The bedrooms and bathrooms (every room!) are beautifully clean and it is obvious that it is maintained extremely well between guests. The swimming pool is amazing, very clean, well maintained...the view from the pool across the valley is spectacular. There are many things that mark Finca Lejos apart from other self catering accommodation we have stayed in the welcome pack of essential food items on arrival (milk, bread, butter etc)...this was very handy for us as we arrived late on a Sunday evening, the on-hand Spanish/English translator to deal with any queries, the views...I could go on!! I would highly recommend Finca Lejos...its a peaceful place to spend your holiday and also close to larger towns and cities to explore. We are very relaxed after our week and cant wait to return next year!"

Also it was so nice to have your own private swimming pool with great veiws also . top class."

| "I visited Casa Lejos at the end of May 2008 for a week with my wife and 3 children. It was just what we needed. We understood that we were one of the first renters to visit the place since it had undergone renovation and the pool and pool house developed. The place was immaculate everywhere and the pool house has gorgeous views and is totally brand new.
The path leading to the house is a country track, but most are around the area and the caretaker met us on the first day and directed us to follow him. His English wasn't good, but with a few arm and hand signals we got by. Anyway, there was always our interpreter on hand, provided by the owner. A quick call to her sorted a minor problem we had.
We are looking to visit again as we all feel revitalised from the air of the mountains.
The house was excellently furnished and we needed nothing else other than food or drink. A car is definitely recommended."
