Cottage "Sunny hillside casita in Guaro" with Mountain View, Pool, Terrace, A/C & Wi-Fi

Pros: The peace and tranquility allowing us to totally switch off and recharge the batteries Cons: All was perfect for us and what we wanted to get from it

Pros: The property was better and bigger than expected and the internet photos. Yes the track up is very steep but we had no problems and the GPS co-ordinates worked perfectly. Haken was very helpful, the property extremely well provisioned, very private, stunning views. We hope to be back next year for longer, highly recommended. FYI nothing happens in Guaro. Best dining out at Castle de Monda nearby. .

Pros: Casa Rosa is quite simply gorgeous. The view from the terrace is truly inspirational and the pool is just a delight. It’s also very private, no one overlooks you, although you don’t feel remote. There are some stunning walks nearby and it’s difficult to believe you are only 20mins or so from the busy coast. Shopping in either nearby Coin or in Guaro itself was really easy. The casa was spotless throughout and very well equipped. Everything you needed was right at hand including – unbelievably for us urbanites – almonds and figs straight from the trees; delicious! Wifi worked perfectly too. Shirley, the owner, was brilliantly helpful and offered advice and tips. Casa Rosa is perfect for friends to enjoy a truly chill-out holiday. Highly recommended.

Pros: We recently spent a truly delightful week at Casa Rosa. From start to finish the owner Shirley was exceptionally helpful and friendly providing us with extensive information, including directions to the house, everything we needed to know about the local area, phrasebooks (essential as few locals speak English) and a welcome pack of groceries, she genuinely cares that guests enjoy their stay. The house was even nicer than could be portrayed in the photos, very clean and very well equipped with everything you could need to create a perfect home from home. The WiFi connection was excellent and there is the full range of UK Freeview channels if you would like to stay connected to home. The views from the terrace are magnificent and the completely private pool is very well maintained. The village of Guaro and the surrounding area gave us a flavour of the real Spain. Marbella is a 20 minute drive away and we enjoyed the old town and its sophistication but it was always nice to retreat to Casa Rosa. During our stay Guaro had it's annual Feria which we thoroughly enjoyed but be aware that if you visit during one of their festivals you should be prepared to live as the locals and seista all day & party all night! Otherwise the area is extremely peaceful. This was our first trip to Spain and Casa Rosa was everything we had hoped for and more, we can't wait to return!
