We were on a two month trip to Europe with our three children, and Finca Retama is a standout location with fantastic hosts. We really enjoyed the area and were sorry to spend only a week there. It is the one place we visited that we wished we would have stayed longer to explore. There are truly amazing places to... More

Finca Retama is an ideal self-catering accommodation only 10 minutes drive from the centre of Ronda. It is rustic rather than luxurious, but the accommodation is spotless and Nick and Julia are kind and thoughtful hosts. We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment on the first floor of the farmhouse but also had a look round the 2 bedroom Casa... More

We are just coming back from Spain and the week we spent at Casa Abuela was most enjoyable. Julia and Nick are great (and gracious) hosts and their property is simply beautiful. The pool is quite sizeable and was the one spot where our two kids, 10 & 13, spent most of their time. The property is only a 10... More

My family and my sister had a glorious 7 days at “Casa Abuela”. The place was a wonderful quite location just out of Ronda in a quant farming area. Nick and Julia, the owners were always close by to help with providing suggestions of what to see during our stay. Ronda has so many we did not get to see... More

The Finca itself is set in lovely countryside within easy striking distance of Ronda. Nick and Julia are the perfect hosts, very friendly and eager to help. Our children (11 and 8) played happily with Oliver and Daniel (who... More

Needless to say the kids were in the pool in minutes. Our hosts Nick & Julia made us feel very welcome and showed... More

May 2009 was our third visit to Finca Retama. We had our son and daughter-in-law, her parents, and our baby grand-daughter with us. Everyone loved it. Lovely place to rest and relax, good and easy walks, Ronda very handy for spectacular views, shopping and restaurants, and lovely White Towns nearby. Granada (for Alhambra), Cordoba (for Mezquita/Mosque), and Seville all easy... More

Had a fantastic summer holiday .Place fab,hosts really helpful,friendly and great company.Large pool a huge attraction.Surrounding rural area great for walks.Plenty of things to do and see in and around the area for all the family.Would definitely make a return visit.
