About this villa rental

One-of-a-kind 3-bedroom villa, on an artists’ estate, perched high on one of the Coast’s most singular properties, a 5000 square meter plateau with totally unobstructed, 360-degree views of the entire Coast, Gibraltar, and on a clear day, the mountains of North Africa. The property is historic; once the site of a Moorish castle, with ruins still visible today. Nestled among olive and fig trees, the unique, rustic house boasts an immaculate 12 by 5 meter swimming pool. It's ample gardens and unique location, atop a plateau, create an experience of total privacy and pure peace. Casa Gordon features 3 bedrooms, two kitchens, multiple terraces; and a massive central living/dining room, with towering ceilings and huge windows which allow the light and views to come pouring in. The property is divided into two structures: the "main house" which contains two bedrooms, a living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom; and an adjoining "apartment" connected by an interior patio, that contains another bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette. (For additional guests please contact owner.) All is fully-furnished and decorated with the art-work of Charlotte and Harry Gordon, the American artists who designed and built the house, paying loving attention to its every detail. It has ample parking and is protected by an electronic gate and alarm system. Casa Gordon is located in the countryside, just 1 kilometer East of the town of Mijas. The entire Costa Del Sol is easily accessible and the location is ideally situated for a multitude of day-trips and getaways.

We had a fabulous week long stay in this villa. The property is full of really interesting art work and the elevation is a huge advantage as there was often a lovely breeze. It is well equipped and the addition of a welcome pack alongside essentials like dishwasher tablets/bin bags/washing powder were thoughtful and helpful. AC in all bedrooms was wonderful and the pool is huge and brilliant. We enjoyed a day trip to Ronda which is a must see and the old town of Mijas itself is lovely to wander around - make sure you go through the town square and up into the littles streets behind which are full of shops and restaurants. Cheaper Marmite in one of the supermarkets there than in Carrefour! Maite was extremely helpful and very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for a fabulous holiday

This rustic and secluded property provides privacy and peace plus spectacular views of the coastline below. The house and grounds are decorated with the works of prolific artist Charlotte Gordon. The property managers are great to deal with and available via text in English if you need them.

We had an amazing holiday at this wonderful house, just on the outskirts of Mijas Pueblo. The house is approximately a 25 minute walk into the village of Mijas, all fairly flat. It was a lovely walk, even our 9 year daughter was happy to walk. The views from the house and the walk into Mijas are truly incredible. The house was really lovely and clean and so well equipped with everything you needed. It had a huge private pool again with the most incredible views. When booking Jesse was so helpful and very quick to respond and a huge huge thank you to Maite, who was amazing and so helpful!! Maite helped us with our airport transfers and was our contact on the ground while in Mijas. Our plane was severely delayed on the way out, but Maite was in touch all the time and when we finally landed ensured our driver was there to meet us. When we arrived at the house Maite had bought us some supplies of water, bread, cheese etc which was so thoughtful after our incredibly long day. Throughout our weeks stay, Maite was so responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you!! My only regret was that we didn't book for longer in this wonderful gem of a property and can't wait to book again for next year! Thank you Jesse and Maite for a wonderful stay - Maddie & Family x

The Finca is an unique and special place. Located behind a church at the top of a small plateau, it is a slice of paradise. We had the studio apartment and exclusive use of the pool and gardens. The studio is very comfortable with air-con, wifi and smart TV. The view from the pool, patio and gardens is nothing short of spectacular; the sort of view you would pay to go on an excursion to see. The walk into and from Mijas Pueblo is not easy - 40 minutes, undulating and very hot! We discovered a happy medium; take our time walking in, enjoy a meal and some drinks in the town (Mijas Pueblo has everything you could want and more!) and then a taxi home! We had a wonderful, relaxing week and have already been in touch with the owner to say we will be returning. Fabulous! Lisa and Andrew Morris
