Our recent stay at La Posada Romana was fabulous. Nestled into the hillside under Gaucin, with breathtaking views of mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and even North Africa, this villa exceeded our expectations and allows for the perfect relax and escape.
Other reviews have mentioned:
smell of mould - no evidence of this on our trip
old towels - not a concern for us, additional pool towels were also there.
The villa and grounds are stunning. Inside
- large living spaces, tasteful décor and comfortable furnishings
- fully equipped kitchen, allowing us to prepare anything we wanted to (the first time we have had everything needed for large group catering)
- spacious bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, and terraces
We spent every evening after dinner on the main terrace watching the sunset followed by moon and stars. The comfy seats, outside fans and bbq is great too.
The brand new outdoor pool is gorgeous - an absolute hit for our group and couple of frogs too! Sun loungers with another covered terrace for shade allowed us a couple of afternoons of extreme leisure.
The villa's location was ideal for exploring the surrounding region. Gaucin (with great restaurants - La Fructuosa was our favourite) is walkable, albeit steep, but otherwise a car is essential for getting about (the approach roads to the villa are rough country roads so an SUV is highly recommended).
Miren and Diego were always available to answer any questions and were lovely to us.
Our whole group loved it!!!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2023
The location of the property was beautiful as was the layout of the house. Miren was lovely, easily accessible, helpful and friendly. The views from the house were simply gorgeous!!! Everyone had plenty of room and privacy. Most of the beds were comfortable and clean. The room with the bunk beds, however, had a very strong smell of mold and I don't think it would be healthy for someone to sleep in it. The mold smell was pervasive in the entire villa - but with windows and doors open it dissipated. While the furniture was comfortable it was quite dirty - simply due to its wear and tear over the years. The kitchen was big and well stocked but all the pots and pans and small appliances needed to be scrubbed clean and some replaced (the automatic drip coffee maker never worked properly). The bath towels were also quite old. New plusher towels would be a nice addition. While all 11 of us loved the villa and would stay there again, we felt it was in need of some updates and a deep cleaning.

We recently completed a 1 month stay at La Posada Romana (month of September 2023) as part of a 4 ½ month retirement celebration trip in Europe and Spain. I have wanted to spend an extended visit in Andalucia for many years and spent over 2 years searching the best place to stay in the Ronda Sierra once I decided this was the area I wanted to stay in. I tried to read and research all I could to gain an understanding for the area and which place to rent. For this reason I will spend time on this review in hopes that it might help others. In my search for places to rent I kept coming back to thinking Posada Romana was the right place for us even though originally I was just hunting for a place for my husband and myself. I am so happy I made the choice. La Posada Romana was perfect for our visit in this area although a little different than what I originally envisions our month to be. We were just the 2 of us for about 2/3 of the month and then had friends and family visiting for the last part of our visit. I originally imagined going into Gaucin everyday and becoming part of the town life when not going on day side trips. In the end, the house and location were so beautiful and tranquil that I really had limited desire to leave the property. I loved spending time starting at morning coffee till midnight dinners on the terrazzo with views constantly changing in the light and really always staying cool (there are ceiling fans) in September all day. As the month went on, evenings

Firstly, the pictures of the property on VRBO do the house no justice. This property is absolutely stunning! The decor is stylish, sophisticated and homely. The house is really well equipped with everything that you need for a large group. We spent a week here (8 adults and 8 teenagers). A couple of reviews mentioned a daunting drive through the village of Gaucin to the property - we found this drive exciting, beautiful and challenging which resulted in a remote destination which is perfect if you are looking for somewhere quiet to stay. Miren is the perfect host, she reached out to us daily to ensure all was in order and provided a huge amount of information about the area. She also made contact prior to our stay requesting passport copies to ensure a smooth check in. The views from the property are to die for. We hiked in the mornings, relaxed by the pool in the afternoon (or did day trips) and braai'd in the evenings taking in the lovely views. The bedrooms are beautiful and there are so many eating areas, chill our zones. I highly recommend this property, a miilion times better than we were expecting. Miren is the best host i have encountered throughout my travels - so many lovely memories made within our stay. Craig
