Esteban's work is stunning and he is a helpful and patient host! As an artist myself, this is the dream home I hope to have one day. We enjoyed discovering different artwork and artifacts throughout the house. There are plenty of seating areas to relax and a big table to gather for meals outside. Beds were comfortable and large. There is parking in a small lot up the hill, and more on the streets nearby. We explored the castle and ate great meals in town, plus it was 30 minutes to Cordoba to see the Mezquita. Overall excellent in every way - I highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Estebans home is truly unique! If you have an artistic appreciation, you will love this place! Every wall adorns his interesting works of art. The village is somewhat difficult to navigate at first, but we figured it out, and really enjoyed our stay! The Almodóvar Castle atop a rocky promontory overlooking the village is a must see! The Mezquita in Cordoba is also worth a visit!

We had a lovely stay at Esteban and Isabel’s beautiful house. Nice little town with steep streets and lots of atmosphere.
During our two week stay, Esteban was attentive and quick to reply when needed. He also provided us with some information about cultural happenings in and around Almodovar. Plenty of things to do I the area.
We also enjoyed the beautiful garden and pool area.
Thanks to Isabel and Esteban😀
We had a wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings.

Wonderful stay in the Artist Home
Incredible art in a peaceful setting was a wonderful respite from the city. Restaurants in the small town were all wonderful and the people were very welcoming. The home itself is simply stunning and Esteban was a terrific host!

Special Place
Like many properties in Spain and Mexico, this house doesn't look like much from the street--just a door opening directly onto a fairly busy street in this village. But once inside you will find art, books, terraces, flowering plants, painted ceramics, a pool, and a view of the Andalusian countryside that are truly special. Esteban communicated promptly and with kindness throughout the reservation and stay, and his place is one of a kind. Good AC and wifi complete the picture. We'll never forget our stay and were able to make visits easily to both Cordoba and Sevilla.

Amazing, unique house near Cordoba
We loved Esteban’s property. It’s about a 30 min drive from the center of Cordoba and about a 3 min drive from the castle in Almodovar. The house is spacious, clean, well-designed and mixes modern and traditional elements with Esteban’s art pieces. The outdoor areas are very pleasant with expansive patio areas and a fig tree hovering over an infinity pool. You can tell the owners take great care of the property and guests with bouquets of fresh herbs and flowers arranged throughout, a welcome basket and thoughtful amenities. There is parking a 1 min walk from the house and the town itself is incredibly charming and local, a world away from Cordoba’s busy tourist center. Lastly communication was great and we appreciated Esteban waiting up for our unexpectedly very late arrival and helping us book taxis.

Comfortable home with character!
Our family of four (two teens) stayed in the lovely home of Esteban for the past two nights. After long hours exploring the historic districts of Córdoba, we welcomed being able to leave and spend quiet evenings and mornings in the house, enjoying the views and life in a small Spanish town. We waked up to el Castillo one beautiful morning (25 minutes, very refreshing); my husband and kids love Game of Thrones and we all thought it was an extremely cool experience roaming around inside.
Esteban himself is an incredibly cool, open, welcoming person. We spent a short time in his Taller (studio space) in town. He is a prolific and gifted artist, and seeing his space was a rare treat for people who enjoy art. Living amongst many of his original works in the home was inspiring. Sharing a glass of wine in the living area with heat from the wood burning stove was heaven.
If you are in intrepid traveler, willing to forgo the (dreaded) breakfast buffet and cliched snapshots for this very unique and authentic experience, this is a great way to create a special memory.

Casa Ideal
Nuestra estancia en Almodóvar en la casa de Esteban, ha sido fantástica, su casa es ideal para aquellas personas que buscan disfrutar de un entorno único y agradable, (las obras de la casa son originales del autor)
Esteban fue muy comprensivo con nuestras necesidades, nos permitió entrar un poco antes, y salir después hora check-in.
Estancia ideal para conocer el fantástico castillo de Almodóvar y la ciudad de Córdoba, ha medio camino entre Almodóvar y Cordoba se encuentra Medina Azahara, con lo cual tienes muchas cosas interesantes a mano.
Esteban mucha gracias por todo. Un abrazo.

Relaxt verblijf in origineel huis vol kunst met mooi terras op het zuiden
We hebben een heerlijke week doorgebracht in het huis van Esteban, de aardige eigenaar. Een super leuk, smaalvol ingericht huis met veel kunst, het is heel mooi wat hij maakt. De slaapkamers waren mooi, goede bedden, goede douche en bad. In de ochtend heerlijk vers sap geperst van sinaasappels uit eigen tuin. Het was winter, maar we hebben vaak op het terras gezeten. En 's avonds de houtkachel aangestoken, heel sfeervol. Het was gezellig, knus in de woonkamer en keuken. Het dorp is mooi met vriendelijke mensen. Een goede bakker op loopafstand, autoservicios en een slager/vishandel. De supermarkt Dia was ook goed te belopen, al kon je natuurlijk met de auto gaan. Bij het huis in de buurt is een gratis parking. Het kasteel was zeer de moeite waard , zeker als Game of Thrones fan, evenals het terras aan de overkant. Om de hoek van het huis was de bushalte waardoor je heel makkelijk de bus naar Cordoba kon nemen en snel in het centrum was. Prachtig, we hebben de Joodse wijk en de Mesquita bezocht. Er is genoeg te zien en te doen in de buurt, afhankelijk van hoe ver je wil rijden. Het comfortniveau van praktische zaken in het huis is redelijk basic, we misten een waterkoker, een goed functionerende stofzuiger en haken voor de handdoeken in de badkamer, maar dat zijn details, voor ons geen enkel probleem. Het was er heel relaxt en we zouden het huis zeker van harte aanbevelen!!
