6 weeks in December/January to escape the Dutch winter for a while.. Stayed with my 3 dogs who enjoyed the warmth and the big garden. Jerry the owners dog is a gentle giant who loves to be kuddled. The garden is stunning even in Winter. Patrick the owner is very friendly and helpful. The apartment was very pretty (lovely decorated) and has everything you need ( TV with countless channels, WIFI, Ipod docking station, HIFI etc etc.) What can I say - it was one the best holidays ever!

Just the quiet break we were looking for.
Thanks Patrick for your help finding the details of a English speaking church and the details of the El Hambre etc. very much appreciated.
Owner reply:
Pleased that your time at Cortijo Nuevo was enjoyable and as expected.
Yes, suprised that there are Anglican (C of E) church services nearby; Almuñécar 9.30am Sundays / Nerja 12.00 noon Sundays - local Catholic church welcome resident British Clergy. Also advisable to pre-book Al Hambra (Granada) visits - easy method (0034) 934923750

Lovely apartment in a luxuriant garden, close to the beach and the city of Motril. The private terrace offers a 360 degree view on the surrounding mountains and the sea. The owner, Mr. Sanderson is very attentive and helpful. Very well equipped apartment, peaceful and welcoming.

PERFECT SPANISH COUNTRY GETAWAY.
First of all, I never felt more welcome in a rental ever before...it was so well thought out, everything was there, music, eclectic books and dvds...milk bread something to eat to drink, to clean plenty of sheets towels, A romantic sleeping room, with by the way great matrasses, a charming living room where you felt at home right away...,And what I most of all apreciate was the charming atmosphere in the beautifull garden, where you could hide in the shadow under a banana tree or stare at the beauty of colours of so many different plants and flower trees, enlightened in the evening by lanters and the moon. Every place had his own special touch, like the swimming pool where you could see the special handwork of designed tiles from an artist, that has her shop in a little village in the mountains nearby.. We sat on the roof to see the sunset and the stars at night, or in the early morning to see the sun come up, and have breakfast, to make plans for the day...the owner gives you all the privacy you need as you roam the property from one fountained niche to the next...a perfect little country getaway for those who want to avoid the big tourism but still be near the ocean..oour only regret is that we couldnt stay longer...And yes, we will definetely return!

We enjoyed a fantastic visit at Cortijo Nuevo which is far and away the best place to experience in the Motril region! The apartment is very comfortable, exquisitely decorated and Patrick gave us and our two children a thoughtful welcome. We were like any other guest dazzled by the harmony of the garden. A true haven of peace... and of daily little finds. The property is surrounded by Andalusian greenhouses. As Parisians snapped up by the hustle and bustle of life all year long, we thouroughly enjoyed the pleasure and the peace of sharing the field with vegetal neighbours! We wish we could spend some more tome at Cortijo Nuevo. We will definitely be back!
A nos sembables francophones, un seul conseil : ne manquez surtout pas le Cortijo Nuevo ! Lappartement est confortable et délicieusement décoré, le jardin dune beauté et dun équilibre rares. Nous avons goûté avec un plaisir infini le calme du site que partagent de généreux légumes cultivés dans des serres andalouses tout autour de la propriété. Patrick, lhôte, est un homme absolument charmant et touchant. Un seul regret nous concernant : ne pas y être restés plus longtemps. Mais nous reviendrons !

Excellent holiday apartment has everything and more, no problems.
A word about the garden - EXCEPTIONAL - a rare gem in Andalucia.
So many different species of plants, (more than many garden centres!) interesting design with many patios, pathways and lovely calming atmosphere. All created and lovingly tended by Patrick the English resident owner.
Definitely a place to return to time and again.
Review submitted by Pearse from Enniscorthy Co Wexford (Submitted: 8 Jun 2011)
We enjoyed a very tranquil week in Patricks Garden of Eden. Obviously with his name he could banish the snakes. Floating in or on the pool was really therapeutic as was reclining in a shady niche with a selec tion from the house library. The dogs Ben and Jerry are the most gentle and unobtrusive of companions and add to the character of the establishment.
The first floor apartment is very handsomely furbished with the best of appliances and utensils, luxurious sitting room and most restful bedroom, first class bathroom, good water pressure, fast water heat-up.
A unique site to visit is the Museo Azucar in Motril with working installations of sugar mills, presses and boiling vessels, a clear history of the development and decline of the industry of which Motril was the centre. There is a wide choice of cafe-bars and restaurants in the area and a great variety of outings to be had from the extensive beaches to the magical Alpujarras with the mark of Arabic culture still evident in the mountain pueblos after five centuries.

Un Oasis en Puntalón - es un fantastivo sitio para poder descansar y olvidarte del dÃa a dÃa. La casa está equipada con tipo de detalles y la hospitalidad de Patrick es una pasada.
Es un destino muy agradable al lado de la playa. Ademas tienes Granada a tiro de piedra para poder disfrutar de la ciudad.
Merece la pena ir probarlo y repetir.

Appartement très bien. Bien équipé, avec tout le confort nécessaire. La terrasse privée offre une jolie vue et permet davoir un coin extérieur plus intimiste.
LE JARDIN EST TOUT SIMPLEMENT MAGIQUE.
Plein de senteurs et saveurs qui nous out à chaque fois permis de nous évader un peu plus et de se sentir bien en vacances.
La piscine et la cuisine extérieure promettent de belles soirées.
Patrick, le propriétaire, est charmant, discreet, mais toutefois disponible si besoin.
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette propriété bien située au carrefour de nombreux sites á visiter.
Review submitted by Lilian & Willie from Dunfermline, Scotland (Submitted: 14 Mar 2011)
El Apartamento is comfortable, roomy and very well equipped to be your home-from-home. The secluded gardens and poolside terrace with barbecue facilities and well-stocked fridge provide a peaceful area to relax although we did not use the pool as our visit was too early in the year. The excellent rooftop terrace provides uninterrupted 360 degree views. Arriving guests need to be aware that the access from the main Motril-Puntalon road is via an unsurfaced track and that the property is surrounded by plastic-roofed greenhouses. We very quickly came to terms with this and it did not detract from our enjoyment of the holiday. Patrick, the owner, is always on hand if you need help or advice but he will not intrude unnecessarily. Motril/Puntalon are working Spanish communities and you will not be in "Blackpool in the sun". A few words of Spanish will be helpful in the local shops and bars. The beach resorts to the east (Torrenueva 10 mins, Calahonda 20 mins, Castell de Ferro 30 mins) are mainly used by Spanish holidaymakers. As you travel west (Salobrena 20 mins, Almunecar 30 mins, Nerja 40 mins) the resorts become increasingly international. Granada and the mountain villages of Las Alpujarras can be reached by car in less than 1 hour and the ski slopes of Sierra Nevada in less than 2 hours. Almeria and the scenic Cabo de Gata area are also accessible inside 2 hours.
Review submitted by Emma & Martin from Bolton, Lancs. (Submitted: 20 Nov 2010)
We recently enjoyed an 8 day break at El Apartamento, if leave would have permitted we would love to have stayed longer. We wanted a relaxed holiday, but with a special feel as we celebrated our anniversary and birthday whilst at the apartment. We read lots of reviews before booking and we certainly made the right choice.
Patrick was really helpful before and during our stay. Hes created a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere which is worth 5 stars! Apart from enjoying chatting with Patrick we loved the bonus of spending some time with his dogs, Ben & Jerry!
Our favourite times at the apartment were on the private roof terrace which has a lovely breeze and stunning views. Remember to use lots of tealight candals, the summer kitchen and terraces look fab in the evenings, all lit up.
Getting around the area was easy with a car, and we enjoyed a trip up into the mountains and visited a few local seaside towns. We found the area was really good value for quality food and drink.
Looking forward to a return trip!
Review submitted by Saskia from Bonn, Germany (Submitted: 4 Nov 2010)
We had a great relaxed vacation in El Apartamento in October 2010. The house exeeded our expectations: the style of the furniture is warm and positive, the technical equipment great and the garden very nice with lots of small niches and flowers everywhere. We really felt at home during our stay and enjoyed our private terraces.
The kitchen needed some cleaning when we moved in and there was also some dust cleaning necessary - but we did not mind. The situation in between green houses is not great, but also not really disturbing. Just one hour drive to Granada is great.
Patrick is a friendly and quiet host - and helpful when needed.
I already recommended it to friends of mine and we would also come back for a next holiday, if we wanted just to relax.

'PARADISE FOUND' -
El Apartamento, an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of life, even a delayed return to the UK because of the volcano could not spoil our enjoyment. In fact Patrick the owner went out of his way to help us, with free use of both computer and telephone to help us resolve our problem.
The garden is an eclectic joy of flowers, shrubs and trees wherever you look. The swimming pool area is an absolute delight, with everything you could need for a barbaque, even an honesty fridge should you run out of vino collapso.
The apartment is extremely well equipped and spacious, the kitchen has all you need and more to survive if you choose to self-cater.
Torrenueva, the nearest village has plenty of mini-markets, very good bakeries and tavernas nearby Motril though a working town, has plenty of suprise in it's back streets and Excellent supermarkets.
Salobreña is a pueblo blanco with it's Moorish castle dominating the town and whitewashed houses clambering up the hillside.
All in all, if you want the real Spain, warts and all and you are willing to look, then Cortijo Nuevo is the place for you, if you want a Symbaritic lifestyle then look elsewhere.
If you can find a more caring and attentive landlord, who is there only when you need him, but slides into the background at all other times, then please let me know.

A very lovely escape from the chaos of modern life. Apart from the beautiful house and gardens with their constantly surprising nooks and niches and hideaways there was an unbelievable welcome package of wine, more wine, eggs, chorizo, cheese, croissants and more. On hand were jazz cds, a fine collection of dvds and satelitte tv (should one be that way inclined or the weather disappointing!). Patrick was a friendly and helpful host who was equally happy to supply local info and allow us space to relax during our 10 day stay. Our two year-old son loved the pool and swam almost every day. Recommended.
Review submitted by kevin from bolton (Submitted: 27 Sep 2010)
The description on the website didnt do this little gem justice. Ideally situated, close to Motril with all that brings (supermarket etc) but also hidden away in the greanery of Puntalon. It is also close to the motor-way network that will take you to Granada and beyond.
During our stay we took time to recharged- spent a few days around the pool enjoying the comforts of the villa, swimming pool, well stocked fridge by the BBQ area.
Once we were energised we took a trip to the Alhambra Palace (pre-booking this is a MUST). We took a trip into Granada and the Caves at Nerja. We also took a trip into the mountians for a day. EXCELLENT.
Patrick was a perfect host, very knowledgeable and although very welcoming and friendly he gave us time to just be by ourselves (as did the other couple who had use of the other villa).
One tip though would be to make sure that you take a phrase book with you as you cannot expect to hear/read English all the time.
Review submitted by Rafael from Madrid, Spain (Submitted: 13 Sep 2010)
My family and I spent a week in early September in Cortijo Nuevos Apartamento. Its garden is lush and aromatic, and we used daily the small swimming pool (our young daughter loved it particularly). The apartment is fully provisioned and operational and the nights on the deck above it are fantastic. Patrick is a pleasant, easy going host, and the dogs are friendly and well behaved. I think it is a very nice place to spend a few days near Motril (provided you have a car), and excellent value too! Although the other lodging was occupied during most of our stay we never interacted with the other guests nor with Patrick and his family because all the units have private areas that are completely independent.
Review submitted by Beverley from Buxworth, High Peak, Derbyshire (Submitted: 10 Aug 2010)
We have just returned from two weeks in El Apartamento and are already discussing when we will go back .... if I say that in all our years of holidaying we have never been back to the same place twice, then this is an indication of how much we loved it. Everything you could possibly need within the apartment and outside has been thoughtfully provided by the charming owner, Patrick. The pool area, complete with fridge, sun beds, fountains, BBQ area and sink is set in lush gardens which are a riot of colour.
As advertised, you do need a car as the property is in an agricultural area, however it is a fantastic base, and you can be in the nearest town, Motril, within 10 mins. We were in Granada (a must visit city) within 50 minutes and spent some time exploring the beautiful Alpujrarran villages which really are a must see.
Locally and around this is NOT a touristy area, to our delight, we never even heard anyone speaking English. Local supermarkets have everything you need, huge array of fresh fish and meat, there are plenty of restaurants and bars and many other places slightly further afield to check out.
All in all a fab place to stay and a great start for exploring Andalucia.
Review submitted by Mike from Barnsley (Submitted: 4 Aug 2010)
El apartmento is garden oasis where we relaxed in privacy under the shade of a beutifully planted garden, sunbathed on our own secluded terrace before cooling off at the pool. The aparment ten mins. from salobrena, shares the grounds with the owner and a second small rented property, though we hardly noticed until we meet at the pool at the bottom of the gardenl. All the amenties you would normally expect are provided making our stay a pleasure and we would happly return.

We have just spent some six weeks in el apartamento Cortijo Nuevo May/June2010. A rare gem to be found in Southern Spain far removed from what we term as crane country!! The apartamento offers everything one could want for a total chill out holiday with wonderful views of the sea and the mountains from the roof terrace.The garden is a haven full of beautiful plants and shrubs of every description and is a sanctuary for the many different birds that frequent it making use of the water offered from one of the many fountains found within the garden. The position of this accommodation is perfect for taking off into the mountains to enjoy the most breathtaking scenery or if you prefer the beach then that too is close by.Patrick is a great guy, always ready to help but never intrusive. Ben and Jerry are two loveable friendly dogs who were never a nuisance and always pleased to greet you. In all, it was a great holiday, thanks Patrick,we hope to return again one day. Tony and Mary.
Review submitted by R R from Tallinn, Estonia (Submitted: 9 May 2010)
We stayed in the apartmento for a few days after touring in Andalucia to relax, for which the place is perfect. We especially enjoyed the private terrace on the roof top of the apartmento that gave me nice tan from spending siestas there and where light at sunsets allows to take beautiful photos of both mountins and the sea. The garden with many hidden corners for chilling and grilling is also lovely and a fine DVD collection in the aparment a nice bonus. The owner is helpful and always available when needed.
We certainly recommend the place to everyone who appeciate more than resorts full of tourist traps have to offer.
Review submitted by Catherine from Cergy (Submitted: 8 May 2010)
My parents and I spent a very nice time at the Apartamento. Patrick is very kind, helpful and not intrusive at all. The two dogs are very well educated.
We found everything we needed in the Apartamento, and we feeled like staying in the middle of the trees, that was very pleasant and different for us! The garden is a real dream, with its fountains. We tasted the avocadoes (very good and tasteful).
We also appreciated a lot the area that remains Spanish, we got used to the greenhouses and it was finally a way to discover an unknown aspect of Spain. In brief, we highly recommend the Apartamento and we hope to come back someday. Just a suggestion to Patrick : a map from Puntalon to the Cortijo would be helpful the first time people go to the Nuevo Cortijo! Thank you again for everything, hasta luego!

Review submitted by Pamela from Calgary (Submitted: 22 Sep 2009)
Cortijo Nuevo was an oasis! El Apartmento is reminiscient of a quaint English cottage with all the exotic touches that remind you that you are in the heart of authentic Andalucian countryside. Mere minutes away is the town of Motril, as well as other seaside towns and beaches near the Mediterranean!
Although the little farmhouse and gardens are surrounded by the white roofs of greenhouses that have taken over the landscape - they are not a distraction. Actually, on your way into the property youll think "where the heck are we going", but you will be pleasantly surprised. Once youre in the gates of Cortijo - with its high walls - you are transported into a spa-like setting of luscious tropical gardens, terraces, a pool, and fountains. Even the dogs, Ben and Jerry, are a charming addition to the space and not a bother at all. Patrick - the host and owner - is a perfect gentleman and there to help with anything, but very inconspicious unless called upon.
This is a place for people who like a home-like space in an authentic Spanish space. It is not the "spic and span" of a high-end hotel and is not for people who prefer the antiseptic feel of a condo. But if youve come to Spain to "feel" like youre in Spain - then youll love this heaven!
The apartment is fully equipped - kitchen has everything - and even has some grocery supplies to make settling in easy if you havent got to the store yet. Patrick runs this on an honour system - meaning if you use something up, please replace it (i.e. spices, oils, beer, etc...) - that includes the poolside fridge stocked with drinks. We appreciated this policy as we had so much available for cooking! This apartment had everything needed - a cooler, mats, and umbrellas for the beach, fans, towels, TV, video, movies, books, info of the area, a gorgeous rooftop private terrace for an evening wine to watch the sun set, and that stocked kitchen! It is very much like a home - with every thing you might need! A gem! An oasis! Thank you Patrick, Ben and Jerry - well be back!
Cheers,
Pamela, Cristian, Luca (6) and Tulia (4)

Thank You Patrick,
We really enjoyed our stay, we were very well taken cared of. We had a late arrival, so we were really happy to see that the fridge was filled with breakfast for the next morning. The apartment was well equipped (we preferrred to cock our meals at home instead of going out), cosy and the roof terrace was wonderful. The garden was amazing and exotic, where the honesty fridge by the pool was a bonus (beer and soft drinks).
The area was charming and we appreciated that there were mostly local citizens and just a few turists like us. The beach was really nice and not far away. The short distance to Granada and Alhambra was another positive thing.
We will most likely be back some day. Warmest Regards to Patrick (and his dogs Ben and Jerry) from the Swedish family Knöös
Review submitted by Joseph from Leicester (Submitted: 10 Aug 2009)
It is the first time we stayed at such a location as it is in the middle of the farming industry. It is full of green houses. No shops or restaurants nearby and in order to spent money one needs to travel to Mortrill hence it can be a cheap holiday for those who dont want to spend too much. One cannot walk to the beach as such as it is not within walking distance and a car is a must to get around. Some people may not like the dirt tracks which lead to the property. Very difficult to find in the dark but when you have been once you will be fine. Mosquitoes and flies were problematic to us but others were used to them. On the plus side the owner Patrick is very approachable and friendly and he will help you if you need anything. I can see some people would like it as it is different from the normal tourist locations.
Owner reply:
To clarify:-
1) EL APARTAMENTO, perhaps its location does appeal more to the traveller rather than average tourist. Situated amongst a Spanish farming community with no nearby expat restaurants/pubs, souvenir shops and the like! Nearby Puntalón (10 minute stroll) has a Spanish restaurant and 2 tapas bars - English not widely spoken. However, Motril (5 minute car journey) busy workaday town has excellent shops, bars/restaurants, supermarkets etc.,
2) Pleased Joseph noted that some people would like the location.....in fact over the years 100s have and I receive a good level of repeat business.
3) El Apartamento is indeed, different from normal tourist locations (this adds to its charm!) - but, resort towns like Almuñécar, Órgiva & Nerja can easily be reached with short car journey. Granada less than 50 minutes North on new motorway.

This was our 3rd time to Cortijo Nuevo, but, this time we stayed in El Apartmento instead of Casa Pequena. Yet again we had a fantastic time. Days spent on the beach at Salobrena or around the pool. Evenings were spent relaxing on the roof terrace watching the sun go down behind the mountains... the views from the roof terrace are fantastic.
Im certain well be back again in the future.
Review submitted by Andrey from Moscow (Submitted: 5 Jul 2009)
This was pretty nice stay. the house is wonderful with sunbathing terrace on the roof, fully equiped kitchen, mangal facility at little terrace right next to entrance door. Garden is good also but needs a kind of refreshing (Patrick started putting it all in order when we leaving, so I assume that it will be ok for the "hot" season). pool and relax area bring in additional value if you dont want go out.
There is nothing to complain about the house and property owner -Patrick. He is extremely helpful and nice, but there is a couple of things which stand apart - location and surrounding areas.
villa located amoung farms, where local spanish guys grow up fruts, veg, and stuff like that. As any kind of production farms produce not only goods but waste also. And when sun is down waste gives rank smell,
As location is farm village you will not find any points of interest closer than Motril - about 2 miles away. Motril is just like any other city along costa tropical - not ugly not super (imho) - but shops, rest, super-markets, etc are availiable there))
So , this is it. you can make your own pros and cons regarding El APARTAMENTO, based on written above. if any questions, pls e-mail me

We very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage which was lovely and quirky. The gardens are idylic and a credit to Patrick - we enjoyed the pool and outdoor kitchen area and watching the sunset with a glass of wine on the roof terrace was a must each night. A car is essential and although Puntalon doesnt have much to offer a short drive takes you to some lovely places both inland and along the coast. Patricks dogs, Ben and Gerry were very welcoming and Patrick was very friendly and helpful. Well be back!!
Review submitted by Vanashree from Oxford (Submitted: 19 May 2009)
This property is very well kept and is perfect for a relaxing break. Patrick has done an excellent job of keeping the grounds luscious and the apartment very comfortable. We especially loved the swimming pool and barbecue area. Our only disappointment was the location, as the nearby town of Motril is largely an industrial town and a car is definitely necessary as there is not many within walking distance. However, this place is well positioned for visiting the towns along the Costa Tropical and is a reasonable distance from Granada.
Thank you Patrick, we really enjoyed our stay!

We had a very good time there. Every morning breakfast on the roof, enjoying the rising sun and the view to sea and mountains.
Patrick is a very kind man who tries to do everything to make your stay as good as possible.
The equipment in the kitchen is very good. Only one thing is not perfect: no table to sit for breakfast or dinner (in case it is too cold or rainy outside)
Walking or sitting in the beautiful garden feels as if you are in heaven.
The swimming pool is very nice.
Owner reply:
Thank You Mia & Paul for taking the time to submit your lovely Review.
Pleased that you enjoyed your time here and appreciated the beautiful garden and new roof terrace. As you found, in this climate easy to eat al fresco - using either table on the roof, lower dining terrace or up by the swimming pool/Summer kitchen area. Due to space restrictions, inside El Apartamento only a low coffee table and granite breakfast bar - ok for perhaps 2 travellers when weather cold and wet (quite rare down on the Costa Tropical!) but, not suitable for larger groups or entertaining.

Cette location est dun bon rapport qualité-prix, le confort moderne dans un charmant cadre désuet. Lappartement est très correct et correspond bien à la description, avec, à létage au-dessus, une terrasse individuelle grande, ensoleillée, bien meublée et très propre.
De plus, des fenêtres nous avions vue sur 3 côtés montagne et, en face, vue sur la mer. Le cadre est calme et reposant, entouré dun jardin très fleuri et luxuriant agrémenté de différents coins de repos avec barbecues, tables et chaises, et une piscine au fond de la propriété (que nous navons pu essayer au mois davril !).
Nos nuits étaient bercées par le chuchotement des fontaines qui fonctionnent tout le temps et nos escapades nocturnes très agréables puisque, tôt dans la soirée, des éclairages cachés dans la végétation sallument et permettent des rentrées tardives quasi-clandestines. De plus, le parking privé individuel est dune sécurité très appréciable.
Patrick (le propriétaire) est un homme adorable, très sympathique, plus que discret, toujours prêt à rendre service et très à lécoute. Nous aurions bien aimé parler plus longuement avec lui car il est très intéressant et son amour des fleurs est inépuisable, malheureusement nous ne parlions pas anglais et notre espagnol nest pas des plus parfaits. Ses chiens sont à son image : très discrets et chaleureux envers les visiteurs, sans pour autant être envahissants !
Nous recommandons cette location à toutes personnes recherchant le repos et le dépaysement ainsi que celles qui veulent visiter des sites intéressants (MOTRIL est au centre dun triangle génial : à peu près à égale distance de villes comme ALMERIA, MALAGA ET GRANADA, sans oublier la fameuse SIERRA NEVADA (de 23° à MOTRIL à 4° -avec des congères de 1,50 m au bord des routes- en 1 heure : incroyable !).
Nous noublierons pas ces vacances qui furent ce que nous attendions : avant tout le repos et, ensuite, quelques sorties instructives à notre rythme : oubliés le stress, le travail... enfin le lot de tout un chacun ! Encore un petit mot pour rendre hommage à létat des routes en Espagne : du velours...!
Merci encore, Patrick, pour votre accueil et votre disponibilité qui sait ? à bientôt peut-être...

if you want a blissfully peaceful holiday in ideal surroundings then the apartment at cortijo nuevo is for you.
my wife and i have just returned from a month long stay and will definitely return in the future. everything about the property was great, spacious inside with everything you need if you should want to self-cater.
the garden is a veritable paradise, an eclectic mixture of orange, lemon and avocado trees interlarded with shrubs, flowers of all colours and sizes, fountains all over the place, secluded spots to sit in and enjoy the solitude. at the end of the garden a delightful communal sitting out area with a barbecue at hand, who could ask for anything more? well you get more for there is a small swimming pool which, like the remainder of the property, is lit up at night. the result of the lighting is a fairy land scene, especially when viewed from the roof terrace of the apartment. the latest addition by the friendly owner to enhance your visit.
forget the rat race, the depression, grab a flight down to the cortijo-nuevo and sample life as it should be led. laid back, stressfree and enjoyed to the full.

We had a brilliant stay at El Apartmento, the apartment was great, kitted out with everything that we could need on our 2 week stay. Gardens were beautiful and the swimming pool and barbecue area were lovely on the warmer days, nice to be surrounded by so many colourful plants and shrubs.
Ben and Jerry were our firm friends by the end of the stay, both great with our 3 year old son also.
Patrick was fantastic, very helpful with anything he could do and the welcome pack was well beyond our expectations, enough to feed us for the first few days!
All in all we had a super holiday, hope to go back again some day for more of the same!
Love to Ben and Jerry Patrick and best wishes to you.

Me and my partner had an absolutely fantastic time....the location is great with the mountains and the sea just on the doorstep...waking up to sunshine and mountain views perfect. The apartment felt so homely and comfy and it had everything and more...especially loved the complimentary food on arrival. Patrick the owner had thought of everything down to a fridge by the pool. He was helpful, cheerful and unobtrusive and genuine nice guy...I would recommend this to anyone looking for a picturesque Spanish retreat. It was quiet and peaceful especially in the garden which was outstanding...many good memories.

Patrick was an excellent host, unobtrusive but always there if you needed him. He even found a wheelchair for us as my wife occasionally needs assistance walking. Ben and Jerry are lovely dogs. El Apartamento was very comfortable and well furnished. We loved the garden and pool, a real oasis, and liked to relax there if we werent going out exploring. Corijo Nuevo is an excellent base for this, we went to the coast and would particularly recommend Nerja & Salobrena. We also went into the Alpujarras and the Alhambra, Granada, both well worth seeing and easily accessible by car. We got used to the nearby plastic greenhouses which are part of the local economy of the area.

stayed in el apartmento in july, the property and gardens are beautiful, apartment is wonderfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, ben and gerry were a joy and were very good with my young son, the pool is lovely, have never stayed anywhere so relazing and laid back no noisy neighbours no cars just birds and buzzing bees, you have to see the gardens to appreiciate how gorgeous they are, patrick the owner is very helpful but not intrusive in any way, cant wait to go back next year, sonya and co

Stayed for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - very relaxed, excellent setting, nice and private.
The apartment and gardens are very well kept and its very easy to make yourself at home - the self-catering facilities are excellent.
As others have said, a car is essential, and if youre looking for night upon night of late-night parties, this isnt the place - but if you need a well-furnished, picturesque and relaxing break, definitely recommended.

Together with my wife we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. As mentioned in the description we enjoyed the tranquility.
I would not recommend to use the cottage for more than 2 people (only an outside table - perfect in case of good weather conditions)
Review submitted by ingrid from Amsterdam (Submitted: 20 May 2008)
We had a wonderful stay at el apartamiento. Just what we needed. A nice cosy comfortable place to retreat and rest. A place that you don't have to leave to enjoy the day. With the beautiful garden surrounding the property we felt like little kings in our paradise. Only in the end of the day we would take the car and visit one of the attractions in the surroundings.
When we arrived we were a little shocked about the area with the overload of greenhouses, but as soon as we entered the property it felt completely different. The owner is very kind and caring and respects your privacy which is a plus. So our opinion : great retreat with value for money! car needed.

Review submitted by Graham from West Yorkshire (Submitted: 19 Apr 2008)
Found the property exactly as described. The garden and pool area is very good and quite intersting with different areas of the garden to sit in. Quite like the fruit trees. In fact, brought some lemons home to make lemon cheese - gorgeous. The dogs were very good and no problem at all. We forgot they were around at times. As we read in other reviews do need a car to get around. Plenty of villages and beaches to see. All in all a good holiday. Patrick's welcome pack was extremely good and kept us going for a couple of days. The supermarket is very handy.
Review submitted by David from Italy Cross, Nova Scotia (Submitted: 11 Apr 2008)
Comfortable and well equipped apartment. Beautiful garden with lots of sitting out areas. Patrick extremely helpful and responsive to requests.
Convenient for Motril and places along coast.
Neighbouring area blighted by ugly plastic greenhouses and illegal dumping but property well protected from this.
Barking dogs and farmer's radio annoying but not much that Patrick could do about this.
Review submitted by Rachel from Middlesbrough (Submitted: 1 Apr 2008)
For a week of relaxation this villa is ideal. The owner, Patrick, was very welcoming and friendly. The villa itself is nicely furnished, clean, and very well equiped. It is set in beautiful peaceful gardens with a great pool and barbeque area.
For a couple just wanting to chill out in the sun this place is perfect!

Patrich was very friendly & helpful. His garden is lovely even for February. Our little dog was made welcome too. In the bedroon, the bed was very comfortable & we slept well, always a plus. The level of equipment was good with english televion channels available. Home from home. The accomodation was a little tired and needs some up dating. Never the less, we had a lovely holiday in a tranquil setting with a very friendly owner. The whole concept of the property & the garden is a winning combination. The pool area must be lovely in the summer months.

Review submitted by Anthony from La Rochelle, France (Submitted: 29 Jan 2008)
We stayed in el apartamento for a month in the middle of winter, and found it to be very comfortable. The property contained everything that we could have wished, and the proprietor lives on-site so he was able to put any problems right immediately. The garden is an oasis and very attractive, in contrast to the surrounding greenhouses; it is possible to forget they are there, but the approach is not attractive. Overall, however, we were very satisfied and would go there again.
Review submitted by colin from hondon de los frailes spain (Submitted: 11 Dec 2007)
the accomadation was really good for us as Patrick allowed us to bring our 2 dogs and being able to just go out of the gate walking with them was easy, the location was also very good it gave great access to anything you wanted to do sea,mountians,town for shopping and eating, the welcome pack was more than excellant we live in spain and understand about shops closing but if you travel to spain you usually arrive on a saturday and most shops shut lunchtime until monday but patrick had covered everything possible you might need and then also if you wanted to cook the little things you may need to make a meal s&p oil etc, we were warm and comfortable our holiday was in november, nice to have the tele and radio etc, all in all a very good break for us, thank you patrick oh and his 2 dogs are smashing

Review submitted by Noel from Weybridge (Submitted: 8 Nov 2007)
El apartmento is very comfortable and homely with character. It is built over the owner's home but separate and private, self-contained and well equipped - (Bit like going to stay with a relative).
There are nice views from the apartment balcony area. The owner, Patrick, was friendly and helpful and very unhurried. We were not disturbed but he was usually around to help round the clock. We went to relax and that is what we did. We had full use of Patrick's tropical garden which was very interesting (Patrick has a passion for ornament and is always coming back from town with something of intrerest). We enjoyed the use of the swimming pool, but the pool area was being improved during our visit (quiet time of year) There should be some pictures on the webpage by Christmas. We did not want a touristy town and the area was interesting seeing how the local people live. The trip from Malaga Airport in our little hire car was straightforward. We needed the car to take full advantage of the location. Now I know where Tesco get their cucumbers. Nearly forgot to mention 2 well behaved dogs, Ben and Jerry, who love food and friendly but were never toublesome. Well done Patrick and kind regards to your Dad (So be it!)
Review submitted by duncan from Culross Scotland (Submitted: 18 Oct 2007)
The equivalant tranquility of an English garden but without the rain cold weather and midges {we are from Scotland} Holiday accomodation can be very clinical with a few token naff pictures and spartan furniture. Here Patrick the owner has put in great resourse of thought time and money to make the Villas very homley and quirky we quikly felt at home.
Out and about all the local towns offered good value food and drink with plenty to look at and great beaches.
Patrick (and Ben and Gerry the dogs) did not intrude Patrick was more than happy to chat and give time to advise on places to visit and pass on local history when asked.
A great relaxing break We would both like another visit. A sub tropical oasis in a sea of greenhouses.

This was the seconed time we have stayed there and it was just as good as the first.
The owner Patrick was off great help to us and gave us some good advice as we were using this as a base while we went house hunting.
We hope to to be staying again soon as we need to come out to sign for our new home in salobrena.

Our family enjoyed a relaxed and very comfortable fortnight at the apartment. The apartment was very well equipped down to the last detail - in fact, every time we thought of something that was missing, we found it. Patrick the owner made us feel very welcome and was on hand to help whenever we needed.
After days out exploring (the coast*, mountains or visiting nearby cities - all within an hours drive - (*the coast just 10 minutes away)) coming back to El Cortijo Nuevo was like entering charmed little haven. Looking forward to a return visit!

We had a very nice time in El Apartemento. We liked the comfortable, excellent equipped apartement, the beautiful garden and the pool very much. Our favourite beach, a beautiful small rocky bay was just 10 minutes drive away. The owner was a great host! We will recommend it to all of our friends searching for apartements in Spain. We are really happy to have chosen the apartement! Thank you for the nice time!
Review submitted by Reena from Kent (Submitted: 25 Jul 2007)
A well furnished apartment with lovely private gardens and pool which made a great location for a relaxing holiday. There were also very nice touches by the owner who bought some food in before we arrived and also had a big folder of reviews of the local area which were extremely useful as it was our first trip to the area. I would strongly recommend that future visitors bring a car as the town is not easy to reach by foot and the property itself is off a dirt track. The best beach we found was in Salobrena which is rocky but clean and has nice bars and resteraunts along the front.
Many thanks to Patrick... I would certainly recommend to a friend!
Review submitted by Jo from Leeds (Submitted: 15 Jul 2007)
We had an absolutely lovely holiday in El Apartemento - it's a great location near some lovely towns to visit but away from the hustle and bustle so we could get away from it all and relax. The apartment was brilliant - really well stocked and with everything we needed for our holiday; and if there is something extra we needed, Patrick is more then happy to help. The new dishwasher is a great addition too! Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday, and we would definatley recommend it to a friend. Thanks Patrick.
Review submitted by karen from leicester (Submitted: 9 Jul 2007)
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is situated approx 5 mins by car from Motril, where there is an abundance of excellent Tapas bars and restaurants. The gardens are the work of the owner Patrick and he has created a little oasis, there are sunny areas or shady whatever you prefer. The pool was great for cooling off in the heat, only shared with guests in the other accomodation, we had it to ourselves most of the time. The accomodation felt as though you were using someones home rather than the clinical feel there is to some rented properties. The property is peaceful, far enough away from the road not to be bothered by the testosterone fuelled spanish teenagers on there scooters!!! Patrick the owner lives on site with his father , on hand if you have any problems but unobtrusive if you don't. Ben and Jerry the two resident rescue dogs are delightful. Taxis to and from Motril are in abundence, however to fully enjoy the surrounding beaches and mountains a car is adviseable. We were also delighted that there was'nt "an english breakfast or roast dinner" menu to be found............
We had a wonderful holiday.
Review submitted by Tess from Oxford (Submitted: 14 Jun 2007)
We had such a lovely time, thank you so much Patrick. As everyone else says in other reviews, it's all the little touches that make it such a nice place to stay - the barbeque, the candles, the welcome pack, the pool, the amazing garden....and of course the doggies!

Tess & Ross -
Many thanks for taking the trouble to post your kind review. Pleased that you enjoyed your break down here on the Costa Tropical - finding some time to unwind.
Hope to see you back in the future. Dogs missing you already!!

Review submitted by Beth from Kingston (Submitted: 30 May 2007)
El Apartmento is a delightful place to stay. The gardens are wonderful, we did not know such tropical havens existed in the hot south of Spain! Lots of shady spots, and random pots, fountains and pathways to explore. The accommodation itself was spacious, and very homely. We enjoyed the touches of home, such as candles, DVDs and comfy sofas. Very different to staying in a clinical, purpose built holiday apartment.
Review submitted by Nick, Mand, Livvy & Zack from Wallasey, UK (Submitted: 27 May 2007)
Cortijo Nuevo is hidden down a dirt track amongst the local fruit & veg farms. The gardens are lovely and the pool is great for the kids. Of a night it's very quiet with only the water in the fountains for company. El Apartamento was ideal for our needs & very comfortable. Patrick, the owner, was very helpful and the kids loved the dogs. Overall we had a very enjoyable, relaxing time. Many thanks for the welcome pack, we couldn't eat all the strawberries, and the red wine the night before we left! Fortunately we made our flight!!
Review submitted by Henrik from Copenhagen (Submitted: 26 Apr 2007)
We stayed at El Apartemento for 10 days in april and liked the place very much. As mentioned in other reviews as soon as you get inside the gate you enter a very relaxed athmosphere with a lovely garden, nice pool, and a fully equipted flat, that meets all your needs. A very nice detail was the welcoming package, which was most helpfull on a late arrival. Our boy loved the dogs with their friendly and laid back attitude.
Patrick is a very good host, who knows the balance between the needs for care taking as well as privacy.
The place is hereby highly recommended for children.
Review submitted by Kev from Cortijo Nuevo, Puntalon, Motril. (Submitted: 17 Apr 2007)
The approach road to the property does not bode well as it is a dirt track and you are surrounded by canvas covered greenhouses! However once you are inside the gates of the property you are in landscaped gardens which are a treat on the eye and relax the mind. A lot of work and effort has gone into this area. The apartment is clean, spacious and is equipped for all living needs. The remote location allows for total peace (unthinkable in most areas of the UK!) Patrick is a gracious host, achieving the balance of always being available for problems and info but also getting on with his own business. Do not book in this area if you want english pubs & breakfasts, it is still, thankfully, very Spanish!
Review submitted by Rauschenberg from Munich, Germany (Submitted: 7 Apr 2007)
We stayed at the apartement in March for 2 weeks. Very comfortable, quiet, very English furnished. Internet cable and telephone keep you in touch to your family back home. Patrick is uncomplicated, and always ready to help with advice. The garden is just my absolute favourite: many hidden places, where you can lye down naked in the bushes, enjoy sunshine and forget the wind. The dogs Ben and Jerry will eventually keep you company, especially if there are cookies nearby ;)
The surrounding area makes a strong contrast to the house: everywhere you turn around there are greenhouses covered in plastic. This is tipical to this area.
We came here for cycling and enjoyed the quiet streets, steep slopes leading up into the Alpujarra, which is still a virgin land for bikers. I can recommend this area for spring training (but don't try Mulhacen by bike, you might get stuck in deep snow!).
Many greetings to Patrick & father & the dogs.
Owner reply:
Many thanks - Adela & Joerg,
pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found some time to relax in the gardens between cycle training and internet work.
Next time visit in the Summer months, less snow on Mulhacen & around the Sierra Nevadas!
Regards, Patrick.

Review submitted by Shaun from El Apartmento (Submitted: 29 Jul 2006)
On arrival we were treated as a friend and the little touches such as soft drinks for the kids, wine, bread and butter made us feel at home. The calmness and tranquility gave us the time enjoy the rural landscape but within minutes of beaches and town life. I would recommend it to small families and those in nee of peace and relaxation. Excellent!
Review submitted by Nick from Hull (Submitted: 26 Jul 2006)
We stayed at El Apartamento from the 1 to the 15th of July 2006, the apartment catered for all our needs, including a very welcome, get you in pack of food and drink. The gardens were secluded and as wonderfull as the pictures shown on the web sight, the pool was great at the end of a hard day exploring the countryside. The area remains very Spanish, which is what we wanted, and the local beaches were within easy reach. If you like dogs and have had to put yours in kennels, do not dispair, Patrick the owner has two friendly dogs who, if you want will keep you company. This was the most relaxing holiday we have ever been on. We will definitely be returning to this Oasis in the sun.
