Family holiday for a week. First time to mainland Spain. El Rancho was the perfect place to suit all of us including teenage daughter. Immaculate, well equipped and quality accommodation, peace and quiet and lovely views, watching the sunset from the jacuzzi, trips to visit Antequera, Ronda, El Torcal, and visits to the beach at Nerja, and Malaga. Excellent on... More

We found El Rancho by accident and booked with fingers crossed! However, we had nothing to fear as this was a fabulous place to stay. About an hour out of Malaga with beautiful scenery, El Rancho is superbly situated but it is the welcome from the owners (and their lovely parents) which really makes it. I would wholeheartedly recommend this... More

El Rancho is an amazing place to stay. My daughter, now aged 16, and I have been visiting since Easter 2010 and every time has been better than the last. The surrounding countryside is stunning, with views across the valley from the mountain side that take your breath away. As a base to explore the wonders of Andalucia, El Rancho... More

This is my 7th trip to El Rancho over the last 5 years, which I think speaks for itself. I have worked in the Travel Industry for over 25 years and this is most definitely one of my favourite places and we will contine to return for many years to come !! I have spent holidays here with my family... More

My wife and I have visited El Rancho on a number of occasions, our first visit was for my 50th birthday so that I could hit the cultural trail. El Rancho is perfectly located to visit Granada, Cordoba, Ronda, and many other fascinating locations. The only problem is we now cannot stop going back, Jacuie and Garrett are fantastic hosts...

At my partners' parents suggestion we (my partner, two friends and I) booked to stay at El Rancho for our skiing trip in February. We stayed in the apartment, which was perfect and immaculate. Our hosts were friendly, welcoming and held a wealth of local knowledge. El Rancho offers the perfect location for both slopes and sand. We skied at... More

There's a point in holidaying where I decide I've had enough of the 'packaged comforts' found in chain hotels. This was the case with my recent vacation in Andalusia. Taking a break from my work in Afghanistan I was still in need of some peaceful R&R, but needed something more stimulating after a week of hanging out on Marbella's beach... More

Finally got around to writing a review - apologies to Garret and Jacqui for the delay. I have stayed here several times over the years and will keep on coming back. El Rancho is perfectly placed in the Mountains, a short blast on the motorway, inland from Malaga. Here you will find an idyllic place to unwind, with excellent facilities,... More

Just got back from two weeks in Spain with the first at El Rancho followed by a few days in Cordoba and Malaga. This was by far the best accommodation of our stay. Jacque and Garret made us very welcome and provided us with not only an upgrade but also lots of useful advice and tips about Spain. The village... More
