El Chaparro Zagra

Precioso y acogedor

My friends and I had a wonderful stay and didn't want to go home! Mané's house is incredible - wonderful, peaceful location with fabulous views, and so comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice. Superb value. We had everything we needed, and the welcome package was very helpful. Mané communicated brilliantly from the moment of booking and provided really useful directions, and Frank gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and showed us everything we needed. The bedrooms were all lovely and the communal spaces (there are many!) all really well thought out. The pool is a blessing when it is hot and we also managed an excellent BBQ. The drive up the track is fine but I recommend visitors not to hire the smallest cheapest car as it requires a little bit of oomph. Overall an exceptional short break and I really hope to come back one day. Thank you so much!

My family and I had a fantastic trip, thanks to this beautiful villa. It’s nestled atop a serene mountain, and is nothing short of a dream escape. I loved the blend of traditional architecture and modern amenities. The pool was larger than we anticipated, we spent most of our time playing pool games and enjoyed cooking on the BBQ! The highlight without a doubt was the breathtaking views, very picturesque! It’s an ideal spot to relax, soak up the sun and forget about the world. Thank you for the restaurant recommendations we really enjoyed the ABQ restaurant in Loja. Food and service was exceptional. The flamenco show in Grenada was a great experience too, definitely recommend. Frank was very helpful and accommodating, any questions we had he answered promptly, also gave us great information about the local festivals. We will definitely be booking this Villa again in the near future!

We are so sad to be home! what a wonderful villa in the stunning countryside. The villa is extremely spacious allowing you to feel together with plenty of places to go when you want a quiet 5 minutes. Comfortable bedrooms with lots of space.....well I was the one who got the penthouse so I would say that! The pool is wonderful, steps which are great for accessing the water which is great for kids. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside having our evening meal with a few drinks and watching the phenomenal sunset. The kitchen has everything you would need with plenty of storage space and the villa is immaculate. Frank was brilliant making check in so easy and on call whenever you may need him. The local village is a 5 minute drive away with everything you would need, if you do go please say hello to Ted for us (You will know him when you meet him). We would love to return one day and would highly recommend anyone to book this wonderful villa. Thank you Mane, your home is wonderful. I must also say that I am so glad that we were at the villa whilst I read Mr Pratts review as this might have put us off booking however I am not sure where he stayed! it takes 5 minutes to get to the local village and 30 minutes max to get to the big town which has everything you would ever need. This is all clearly advertised and is exactly what we wanted as this then gives you the peace and quiet and away from any noise and light pollution, perfect! Prisoners? WOW if this is what prison is like then lock me up now because this villa is outstanding and I would highly recommend anyone to book and we will without doubt be returning!

The house was stunning with so much space! There were separate parts so everyone could do their own thing. Kitchen very well equipped and dining spaces were wonderful. The pool was incredible!! And pool toys provided great entertainment. Also nice having a range of games inside when the sun was too hot. The welcome basket was a lovely touch with water, wine and bread. It was fab that there was already some bits there like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, salt, pepper, sugar etc. Mane was always quick to respond to queries and Frank was at hand to help with anything! I am a wheelchair user who can only walk a few steps. I found the first floor completely accessible, getting to the pool and dining areas via the extra toilet/ utility area. Mane went above and beyond to research accessible things to do. The surroundings were outstanding! So beautiful and quiet. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

The house is incredible. Huge, gorgeous bedrooms and en suites, vast living areas, and both the indoor and outdoor kitchens were clean and well equipped. The pool and surrounding areas offer so much flexibility of use throughout the day. Comfy loungers, plenty of shady and sunny spots, and the pool is gorgeous. We had a few minor hiccups during our stay, which is to be expected when staying somewhere so rural. However Mané and her team were always incredibly quick, responsive and resolved every issue we had. The villa is very rural, nothing within walking distance, which was absolutely fine for us we had hire cars. Also meant very peaceful evenings and didn’t have to be too conscious about noise. Also just to note that there is no air conditioning. This is listed but we hadn’t noticed - can get warm at night in the middle of the summer. Overall, an incredible stay at a beautiful house. An amazing setting and a super attentive host.

Just back from 10 nights and I can't recommend this place enough. Everything you need in the most idyllic setting. I could never get bored of waking up to those views. The pictures sold it for me but the place is even better than the pictures. Thanks again for a great stay, we will definitely be back!!

Absolutely fantastic villa. I stayed here with mine and my sisters family. 11 of us all together and never seemed cramped as there is so much space and lots of separate rooms/areas. The views are fantastic and there are what I think are swallow nested close by flew by regularly in the evening, but we're never in the way or pests. A very welcome extra addition we thought. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a fantastic bbq on the other side of the pool which we used most days. The bedrooms are cool in the evenings as they have fans, no air conditioning unfortunately as with the rest of the villa. But with the windows open it was cool enough to sleep just fine, and I'm not very good with heat at night so most won't have any issue at all. The only thing which could be improved is the main bin is at the bottom of the track, which is a drive away. So you have to do bin runs daily if you have a family with you. You will need to buy your own bin bags too. We loved our stay, location was great as we wanted a quiet stay away from tourists. The villa is beautiful and Frank the caretaker was very friendly and helpful.
