About this house rental

Finca la Luz is nestled in the country hillside, set in an acre of carob, olive and almond groves. With magnificent mountain top views and of the Castillo de Aguila (Castle of Eagles), said to date back to the Romans.

A 10 minutes walk up the rustic track and you arrive in the charming whitewashed village. A tangle of narrow, winding streets which was once a haven for brandy and tobacco smugglers. Here you will find authentic tapas bars, fabulous restaurants, supermarkets and unique shops.

Gaucin, the birthplace of opera’s most famous heroine Carmen, is situated in the idyllic Serrania de Ronda, 620 metres above sea level. The romantic pueblo blanco in Andalucia has been described by The Times as having the ‘Best views in Europe ‘ and The Telegraph as ‘the most picture-perfect of white-walled Spanish towns’. With the breathtaking landscape across the River Genal Valley, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco.

Gaucín is famous for the international artists living in the whitewashed village.
Hidden amongst the streets are the studios of more than 20 artists. They open up their doors to showcase their latest works during Art Gaucin which is held every year. A truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Local festivities are passionately celebrated in the village, from the summer feria where the local band march through the village, riders in sombreros and this year’s beauty queens in horse-driven carriages. Other celebrations include Easter, Santo Niño and more...

Visit the Roman ruins of the Castillo de Aguila, a 30 minutes walk from the Finca. Take in the breathtaking landscape and discover the charming chapel to Santo Niño. Opening times vary so ensure you check beforehand.

Surrounded by nature, you will hear the sound of the Cicadas In High Summer and
out on your country walks you will come across sheep, mules, horses, goats…

The Finca is to a very good standard with a fitted kitchen with dishwasher, utility room where you will find the washing machine and iron and ironing board. Wood burning stove in the living area. Gas wall heaters throughout the Finca, WIFI, SMART TV, DVD, Gas Barbecue. Parking for 4 cars.

The magnificent outdoor space is positioned over four levels - a master bedroom terrace that has spectacular 360 views, the kitchen terrace for alfresco dining, the Azul Moroccan room to chill out and the pool with plenty of space for sunbathing. All of which take in the majestic views of the Andalucian mountains and countryside with sun from dawn until dusk.

To have the most enjoyable stay ensure you read the Visitors Information Booklet at the Finca. You will find information regarding local walks, bird watching, horse riding, nearby sightseeing. We also offer in-house catering, massage, manicure and pedicure. You can also visit the village gym for a workout, spin class or Pilates.

1.5 hours drive from Malaga airport or 50 minutes drive from Gibraltar airport.

Please leave the Finca as you found it. Thank you!

    THE most stunning villa, in THE most stunning area, with THE most stunning views - we've been (we think) 8 times, and love it. Recent upgrades and redecoration are fabulous and just make what was always a perfect stay even better. Erika is a fabulous property manager and the team there bend over backwards to help. But this is simply the most wonderful place - quiet, peaceful, and stunningly beautiful. Thank you!!

    really impressed with Jonathan and Kyri's villa. Everything you might need was provided, everything was of high quality. Pool amazing, views so good you don't want to leave. We were looked after well by Erika who sorted some small issues promptly. highly recommended.

    The view was amazing and the house was full of great details. The interior of the house looked good and the colors went well together. Only the strong Majorelle Blue color of the terrace above the pool seemed too strong at first, but when Erika told us that the house had a lot of Moroccan influences, then the color of the terrace started to seem better.The kitchen had a gas stove, an electric oven and a large enough fridge freezer. The house had two large bedrooms, the third small bedroom we used as a storage room for our luggage.The house was really clean and pleasantly quiet, although the shop and restaurants were within walking distance. The short gravel road could have been a little better, though. It was nice to cook dinner yourself on the Weber gas grill on the terrace for a change.The power outage in all of Spain on April 28, 2025 was an interesting experience, nothing worked, but we managed to make coffee on the gas stove by lighting it with a match. Erika also came to make sure that we were doing well. We couldn't get out of the gates by car because they were powered by electricity.It was also easy to visit Ronda, Casares and the Mediterranean coast. It was great to watch the amazing thunderstorm and lightning from the terrace of the house on 2.5.2025.Warm thanks to Jonathan and Kyrie for the opportunity to spend nice days from 24.4. to 8.5.2025 in your beautiful villa. Thanks also to the house manager Erika for her thorough guidance and heartfelt care.

    The Serrania De Ronda is a stunning area of Spain. Only 30 min drive to the coast but tucked away in the mountains Gaucin is a beautiful whitewashed Andalucian village full of history and culture. Finca Da Luz is down a quiet lane with breathtaking views from the terraces. A perfect location to relax as well as a base to explore

    As always, our holiday at Finca la Luz was absolutely perfect - we love this place so much. The pool is dreamy, the views are breathtaking, and the terraces provide the ideal spot for reading, chilling and chatting....all with a chilled rosé in hand! Thank you J&K for sharing your home with us x

    Beautiful villa set in stunning scenery. The views from the dining terrace were incredible. Only a short distance (2mins in the car) from Gaucin - we enjoyed many afternoons walking around this beautiful town, taking advantage of the many great places to eat (tapas was great). Would gladly return to stay here again.

    The property is described as having rustic charm. In some areas I would agree, in others absolutely not. In particular the bathrooms. We found all three to be incredibly old, out of date and dirty. Were it not for Natures contribution i.e. location of Finca and views, there could possibly be more detrimental comments. Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location.
