About this villa rental

Los Buhos (The Owls) is a very spacious and luxurious traditional-style villa, full of character and charm, located in a quiet corner of the white village of Gaucin, with a large, well-stocked garden, private salt-water pool and unbelievable views - ideal for outdoor living in the summer. The villa is decorated in 'campo chic' style and stocked with paintings and sculptures, most of them the work of the large artistic community for which Gaucin is well known. A forty-foot long, five-arched loggia, with covered outdoor dining area, looks over the south-facing garden, as well as enjoying the stunning views down to the far distant straits of Gibraltar and the Rif mountains in Morocco. The garden has many quiet corners to sit in sun or shade, as well as an area for playing boules, or table-tennis, or simply relaxing in the hammock.
The large kitchen was completely modernised in 2024 in an open-plan style with a large central island, with the latest modern appliances, including two ovens and a large induction hob, while retaining a luxury rustic feel that fits in well with the style of the rest of the house. A breakfast room with multiple-aspect windows sits alongside the kitchen area.

Outside kitchen is a barbecue area overlooking the pool, with its terrace and sunbeds.

In the cooler months the spacious villa, with its garden and multiple terraces, creates an ideal space for enjoying the winter sunshine during the day and then retreating to the deliciously warm and cosy interior once the sun sets, with under-floor heating throughout, plus two wood-burning stoves in the lounge and the formal dining room, and an open fireplace in the kitchen.

The four large double/twin bedrooms are all light and spacious, with beautiful wooden-carved beds, very comfortable mattresses and fine quality cotton sheets. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.

Although the villa feels as if it is in the countryside, the many excellent tapas bars, restaurants, shops and other facilities of the village are all within a few minutes walk. The only problem is you might find you just don't want to leave the villa!

    The villa surpassed our expectations. It is stunning, extremely spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The garden is beautiful with lots of areas to sit and admire the views. The pool area was great for the whole family. Upon arrival in Gaucín, we were met by the lovely Maria who guided us to the villa and showed us around. Gaucin is lovely town, very friendly with some great restaurants and bars and a few interesting shops and galleries. We able to bet everything we needed in the town. We ordered paella from Maria which was excellent. We don’t have a negating to say about our holiday, other than having to go home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

    An amazing property in a perfect location to explore Gaucin and the surrounding areas. The villa is beautiful and huge, with lots of different areas to relax and unwind, and perfect for a stay with our extended family. Situated within walking distance to pretty much everything in Gaucin, I would highly recommend this property. The hosts were absolutely lovely.

    The villa was everything we hoped for and more. The villa itself was stunning, spacious and full of beautiful artwork. The grounds and pool area again were amazing, space for everyone to have their own quiet place or congregate around the pool. And the view, well what can we say, you could never get tired of looking at that view. It was stunning and different every day, and at different times of the day. As for the owner, he went over and above to ensure we had the most perfect stay, for which we are extremely grateful. We will be back. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    This was an absolutely superb villa and a real privilege to be able to stay in Ian and Jacqueline‘s wonderful home. The initial communications and directions were detailed and helpful and getting to and into the villa could not have been easier. The villa is superbly situated on the edge of Gaucin village - incredibly peaceful with the most amazing views. Everything in the village is a short walk away. The house is generous and spacious and filled with artifacts from around the world - full of character and very homely. The kitchen is one of the rooms that is better in reality than on the website: a cook’s dream and really well stocked with equipment and herbs and spices: the house is perfect for entertaining. The bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious and there are a seemingly infinite number of spaces to sit and enjoy a different view - inside or out. The garden is spectacular and full of intrigue and interesting spaces with many lovely spots for a morning coffee or an evening drink. The pool is refreshing and well maintained. Maria - the house help - could not have been more charming or helpful throughout our stay. If this villa is available, I would highly recommend it… we hope to be back.
