Our group of 14 adults stayed at Cortijo Cuscurro for a long weekend in May 2019 for a birthday celebration, and it is a stay to remember. Apart from the weather being perfect during our stay (it was not too hot but warm enough, and the nature surrounding the villa was beautiful), the villa fully met our expectations and needs. There was plenty of space for all of us to sleep comfortably, cook, eat and stay by the pool. The villa was clean and provided us everything we needed: from towels and kitchen supplies to a pool and a jacuzzi. The location is secluded and maybe a bit hard to reach, but it suited us and our needs very well. The centre of Riogordo with services was about a 15min drive away. The hosts were extremely helpful, flexible and friendly. They helped us organize transportation from and to Malaga airport, and also rides to the nearby supermarket in Riogordo village, since we didn't have our own car. We also organized a paella demonstration together with the host, and the paella was delicious! If we had some issues, questions or concerns regarding the villa, the hosts were very responsive and available. Our whole group would warmly recommend Cuscurro, since the overall experience was definitely 5/5. We are possibly even thinking about coming back next year :) Thank you Lisa and Julian!

A great house for a stay with friends and/or family. The house is well equiped with everything you need. Outside facilities are excellent with different spaces to meet everybody's needs.The location is also great with lots of good walks in the area. Internet connection does not always work effectively, but owners are always willing to help if you need something or have a problem.

This is a beautiful, interesting and spacious property in a stunning location. Three generations of my family recently spent a week here to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. Overall, we enjoyed the week but our stay was significantly impaired by the owners' poor management of the property. Firstly, the property is extremely difficult to find. The directions we were given by the owner was to use google maps from the airport. The problem is that google maps recognizes treacherous little unpaved tracks as roads. Two of my sisters were separately directed by google maps down extremely dangerous dirt roads with steep drops at the side. The owners owe it to their guests to provide clear and safe directions to the property. They also should have signs on the last mile or two of tiny roads leading to the house. Other rental property's in the area had signposts but there were absolutely none for this one. During our stay we encountered a number of electrical, plumbing and heating problems and none of them were resolved satisfactorily. The list of problems were: 1. The Jacuzzi didn't heat up. 2. Various family members were getting electrical shocks from simple appliances such as a toaster and a fan. Apparently, this was related to the malfunctioning jacuzzi. 3. The kitchen sink was clogged and mostly remained so despite our various efforts to unclog it. 4. There were not enough heaters. Some of the rooms didn't have any heater and our requests for additional heaters were unmet. Some handymen/electricians were sent out to look at these problems but none of them were fixed. It turns out the owner was on a cruise while we were there and while she had a local friend designated to address problems, the friend (who was very nice) was not very familiar with the property and didn't know how to fix anything or even who to call to fix things. My family was quite disappointed that we never got to use the jacuzzi and it was quite frustrating to have to deal with a clogged kitchen sink and cold bedrooms all week. We still had a really nice week despite the management issues but I really couldn't recommend anyone to stay here under the current ownership.

Hosts Lisa and Julian cannot do enough to ensure that your stay is one to remember. Lovely clean spacious villa with great amenities and superb wifi. Loved it! Will book again!

The Villa was to a good standard. The Owners were very professional and provided us with all the information we needed. The only thing I didn't like was the Villa was far from children's activities and roads were too narrow and found it difficult to drive. Because of the heat there were too many lizards coming into the villa which I was afraid of. However everything else was top notch

15 of us had a great stay at Cortijo Cuscurro. Check in and check out was all very easy and Lisa was on hand if we had any questions. I would definitely recommend the paella, it was well worth it!

Hemos estado fenomenal. Eramos 3 familias (13 personas en total). La casa es muy agradable y el entorno muy bonito. Realmente recomendable.

We had high expectations of thr property and surrounding area from seeing the photos, we were blown away in reality! Lisa and Julian have put love and care into the farmhouse and outer buildings. We were left wanting for nothing as the kitchen and house were extremely well equipped. The furnishings and decor are stylish and of great quality with a touch iof shabby chic..all adding to the ambience of this stunning holiday home. An unexpected bonus was the sound system, after changing to more modern convenient speakers and tablets etc we had forgotten how sublime music sounds on a good system! There was even a cable to connect it to our phones. We will be reverting back to a real sound system!! The music coupled with the amazing views made each day feel like living in a movie or dream! The local town of Rigordio was pleasant and traditional and the supermarket though small well stocked. We highly recommend the local wine sold in cartons especially the rose! We were only there for a long weekend due to work commitments so we were gutted to leave.We definitely plan to return for a longer holiday and can't wait to drive around more of the surrounding villages. Lisa and Julian are a lovely couple who have created a wonderful home and holiday experience for anyone who wishing to get away from it all and experience the real Spain. If you prefer to while the hours in the jakuzi or by the pool, chase the sun on many terraces, lounge on the outside sofas with a book, eat alfresco complete with stunning views or nip out for beer and tapas even drive into Malaga should you wish thus is the one for you!! Certainly for us!

Myself & family had a great holiday here in Corjico Cuscurro. The house has plenty of room & a fantastic pool with amazing views. Everything is thought of to make your holiday hassle free. The house was very clean & tidy for our arrival. The owners were very helpful. The property is very well maintained. I would thoroughly recommend this holiday home & will most definately be returning myself 😀

We loved our stay at Cortijo Cuscurro - the farmhouse and cottage were lovely, authentic, well kept and really well equipped. We went out for a couple of day trips to Nerja and Malaga but mostly chilled out around the pool and in the house (it was very hot during the time we were there). There's plenty of space so everyone could do there own thing - we were a mixture of teenagers and adults and we all really enjoyed the space. The local countryside was stunning and we spent a couple of lovely evenings in the local village and found the locals really friendly. The house is a bit of a distance from shops and entertainment but we enjoyed the seclusion - worth stocking up on food en route though. The kitchen and barbecue area were great for cooking with everything that you could need - we particularly liked the coffee machine! The owners were really friendly, helpful and responsive when we contacted them. Everything ran very smoothly and we had a fabulous week. Would highly recommend.

We came here as a group of eleven family and friends. The huge villa had plenty of space for a large group to relax and spend time. Beautiful character, decor and views - the location is quite remote but this adds to the character! In particular the pool area and patio area were great places for the group to spend time. Lisa was really helpful in advance of our visit in recommending activities and transport as well as arranging a food and drink shop.

This property was spacious, well maintained, clean and well designed both inside and out with a fantastic pool and courtyard. I booked this for my 50th birthday party and the owners could not have been more accommodating. Without them this party would not have happened! They arranged the catering, live band, decorations, drinks and even collected my cake. We had the most fantastic time with our family and friends. The views are stunning and I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Fantastic location, villa worked very well for a big party. we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the recommended restaurant

Myself and a group of 12 friends stayed at Cortijo Cuscurro from the 21st to the 28th September 2015. Throughout the booking process, and over subsequent months, Lisa was very quick to respond to all queries and was more than happy to accommodate us when the group number changed. The villa itself is very spacious and offers commanding views over the surrounding countryside. In terms of location, it is suitably quiet to offer privacy but not so remote that you can't get access to nearby shops or restaurants (Riogordo and Comares are a short distance away). Our group spent the vast majority of our time at the house itself having stocked up on shopping at the start of the week. The property is quite sprawling, which offered the chance for people to spread out and do their own thing. In the evenings, the courtyard provided ample space for communal meals and the ambient lighting is an excellent touch. The pool area is perfectly situated to capture the sun from sunrise to sunset and most of our afternoons were spent here. The hot tub is well shaded and relaxing and whilst some may argue about the necessity of it in 30 degree heat, in our case it was used every day and was a great feature for relaxing evenings. The lighting in and around the pool area really helped to create a relaxing atmosphere at night. The house itself is well equipped and a comprehensive folder is provided to guests, giving full instruction in the use of all the facilities. We had a couple of queries during the week, but Lisa was always just a phone call away and happy to help. We would absolutely recommend this house if you are looking for a large, well equipped and ideally situated villa. We had a very relaxing week in the sun and will hopefully be back again in the future.

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to the owners, we all had an absolutely fantastic time. We were a group of 14 celebrating my 21st birthday, and every single one of us enjoyed every minute of it. The villa is stunning, well equipped and the views are gorgeous. Gutted to be home would definitely book this place again - Best holiday yet!!

We have had a family get together in the outstanding and I mean outstanding farmhouse. Full of charm, yet equipped with all modern conveniences. The courtyard is the place to spend your days and evenings. Cool shaded and soo relaxing. Many a siesta was taken on the daybed!! The pool was lovely for all our children and the adults saved the jaccuzzi to the evenings. The local villages had all you could need and Lisa booked us a taxi, for one night to a local restaurant as we celebrated a 40th while there. The meat from the local butcher was the best we have ever had. The gas BBQ was great as the men did most of the cooking. always good. I would highly recommend this house to all those who want to chill in outstanding surroundings with a high standard. We are definately going to return. Maybe Christmas as the lounge was just so homely.

This villa exceeded our expectations, beautiful inside with stunning scenery outside. It had everything we needed. We had a tranquil, relaxing week here. We can't wait to come back next year.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette magnifique villa spacieuse, bien équipée, décorée avec goût et très agréable à vivre avec son patio où on peut prendre ses repas à l'abri du soleil. La maison est située en pleine campagne à 10 min de riogordo et ses commerces et à environ 45 min de la côte. Le chemin d'accès n'est pas très large mais est goudronnée sauf les derniers 100 mètres en chemin de terre. La piscine est très correcte avec une superbe vue sur l'axarquia. les propriétaires habitent juste à côté de la villa mais sont très discrets, accueillants et disponibles. Excellente adresse pour les personnes qui recherchent des vacances en famille au calme.

Have returned from a great stay at this fantastic farmhouse near Riogordo. We had the most amazing facilities, more than we have ever had before. Like being at home, but in the Sun!! We had everything you could have asked for, so were able to cook great meals. The outside courtyard was where we spent most of the time, whilst watching the kids in the pool. Nights were great in the hot tub too. The owners were local if we needed anything and were so helpful on where we could visit and eat out. Great place for large group holidays or for families like us. There were 14 of us and we still did not get in each others way.!! Which helps. The local area was charming and we had several days at the coast, which we loved. Thanks Lisa and Julian. Julia

We spent a 2 week holiday here as two families consisiting of 3 adults and 4 children ranging from 11 to 16 years. We all loved the house, the facilities and the views -fantastic! There was enough space for each of us to find some "us time" and not be in each others way and the WiFi was a god send for the teenagers on MSN to the friends back home! The house is situated in a very rural position, in the hills up some very windy single track paths with steep drops at the side - hence the beautiful views! We unfortunately had a 9 seater vehicle which was not nice to drive along such a narrow track (especially when you meet someone coming the other way!) it so I would certainly recommend thinking carefully about the type of car you hire when you go - a 4x4 would be ideal but not, I would say, essential. We did find that it took us 10 mins in the car to get to the main road (due to the windy track) and then another 10 mins to the village of Rio Gordo and the coast at Torre de Mar took us in total 50 minutes (from the villa). The shopping centre with bowling and waterpark across the road took 40/45 mins (from the villa), these were brilliant. We also visited Nerja, along the coast which was slightly longer but beautiful and well worth an evening or day trip. Rio Gordo has all your basic food requirements and little supermarket, whilst the larger super/hypermarkets are by the waterpark. Lisa and Julian, the owners were always close at hand to answer any queries or sort out any problems or even recommend restaurants/places to visit. During our holiday, they were staying occassionally in a small seperate building at the back of the villa so this was handy for any problems or for leaving a note with a query. We did not see them very often so it was not intrusive but it was nice to know they were there if needed. The house and the position is as beautiful as the photos and most definately peaceful. Please note though, that we feel it is certainly not suitable for families with young children due to the steep drops at the edges of the property or for people with walking difficulties because of the steepness and amount of steps around the property. Would certainly recommend this holiday for families with older children or just adults though. Fabulous and peaceful!
