About this house rental
Small, delightful, mountain village houses don't get much better than this, and Casa Muñeca which sleeps 3 could not be situated in a more magical place. Located on one of the tangle of old narrow winding streets and lanes that make up the heart of the village, Casa Muñeca is located some midway between the apply named Eagle's Castle (Castillo del Águila) and the village center.
This Gaucín, single story house, cleaned and managed locally, has an abundance of style and immense warmth. Pretty as a picture inside, the house has the distinctive, traditional character of Southern Spain, with terracotta floors, hand-glazed local tiles, soft, relaxing colours and furnishings. For the cooler months an open log fire along with a gas fire and electric heating radiators, combine to give a warm cosy feel. Put simply Casa Muñeca stands out from other Andalucían cottages and combines the spectacular, breathtaking, natural surroundings of this part of inland Andalucía with excellent facilities - the kind of place you'll want to revisit time and time again.
A place where, from the terrace at the rear of Casa Muñeca, it's not unusual to see Eagles soaring overhead. Then looking down over the surrounding countryside towards the coast - over the valley of the Rio Genal, woods of Cork trees and craggy peaks - to see some 50 km distant, Gibraltar and the Mediterranean spread out below like some super sized map and on a clear day you can see beyond Europe over the straits of Gibraltar to Africa and the distant Rift mountains of Morocco.

My wife and I have been visiting Gaucin for nearly 30 years and Casa Muneca is, without doubt, one of the best houses we’ve stayed in during this time. Being older now, the house being all on the one level, with everything we needed close at hand, was an absolute boon. The owner, Philip, has decorated the house very tastefully and comfortably with lots of little touches which draw the eye. The view from the terrace across the campo down to Gibraltar, particularly in the evening sun, is wonderful and very peaceful. Agustina, the housekeeper, was very friendly and on hand should any assistance be required. All in all, this is a wonderful property and a real pleasure to visit.

Casa muneca is a cute little house, the perfect place for an andalucian summer : well isolated, well ventilated, etc. which means you can perfectly stay inside during the day or in the evening if you don't feel like going out. Its terrace offers a great view of the surroundings that allows you to see the marrocan coast when the sky is clear enough - which is the case most of the time. What else could you ask for ?

What an amazing place to stay. Everything from the charming Casa to the quaint village to the easy access by car to lots of day trip destinations was perfect!
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2018
Great views and location. However, there is no heating system if you hit a very cool week as we did last April. The fireplace is not enough to keep the house warm. We were always cold! Heatings pads in the bed did provide some relief at night.
Also, the furniture looks much more tired than on the pictures. It is a sad looking place. The kitchen table needed repair. A dish rack would be useful.
We could not recommend this place.
