Das Haus und die Lage sind ausserordentlich schön. Die Einrichtung des Hauses liebe- und geschmackvoll. Juan-Antonio ist sehr hilfsbereit und seine diskreten, unaufdringliche Art ist sehr angenehm. Er ist sofort da, wenn man ihn braucht. Der Garten ist gross und gepflegt, der Swimmingpool nicht gross, aber gerade richtig. Die Tiere im und ums Haus waren für uns eine schöne Nebenerscheinung, wir haben uns über das morgendliche Hallo der Gänse und Hähne gefreut. Und die Hauskatze Juana ist uns sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage hier. Einzig die beiden Matratzen in den Einzelbetten unter dem Dach sind nicht für Erwachsene absolut nicht geeignet, erst recht nicht, wenn man einen etwas heiklen Rücken hat.

La propiedad esta cuidada con cariño y mucho detalle, el jardin y la piscina impecables. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades y si surge alguna necesidad, el propietario, una persona muy amable y cercana, siempre esta atento y disponible para ayudar. A cinco minutos andando de la playa. Nuestra estancia ha sido inmejorable y si tenemos oportunidad, sin duda volveremos.

The garden and pool are exceptionally nice. An enclosed space, well cared for and surrounded by trees full of bird song. The house is full of character with artistic touches all around. We were four adults, which in retrospect was not ideal as one of the bedrooms is open plan with the communal area and gave little privacy, and also has no storage space for clothes. Would be better for two adults with children.

Beautiful rustic cottage in an oasis close to the beach which has amazing surf. Lovely casual restaurants walking distance away. Very relaxing.

We stayed with 2 adults and 2 young children in April for a week. El Palmar is not very lively during that period, but exactly to our liking. The beach is 5 minutes by feet and is a very long strip stretching for kilometers to both sides. Some surfboard rentals are already open (main activity here on nice shorebreak) and some restaurants, as well. Not the best quality for money, though. Better cook at home. There is a small supermarket in El Palmar (veggies not best quality) and a large one in Conil. All kitchen gear is present (except an oven and teapot). Eating outside is a pleasure in the spacious garden. There is even a BBQ to grill the sardines from the local fishery. The swimming pool is 4 x 5 m and non heated: a refreshing dive in April, but probably welcome in hot summer months. It is located in the back of the terrain of the very sympathetic Señor Cruzado, with parking space for your car. Dogs, cats and chicken add to the rural flavor, much to the liking of our kids. The attic with a low roof is a good place for 2 kids with its 2 separate beds, but is not a separate room. So if you want to test the stereo in the evening (CD with USB access available), the kids will be witness. We did not watch television, but usually for us vacation is a good time for watching a DVD (however, not available). So we read a lot instead or just enjoyed the garden outside with some local wines. In short, one of the best places we ever stayed in because of privacy, tranquility, easy access to the beach and facilities.

Wir waren zu viert bei Juan Antonio, 2 Erw., 2 Kinder. Der Empfang war herzlich, wir bekamen alles gezeigt, Tipps für Restaurants und andere Aktivitäten genannt, und gleich einen Korb voll Eier geschenkt, so dass wir am nächsten Morgen ein leckeres Frühstück hatten. Juans Grundstück ist eine liebevoll gestaltete Oase in dem doch eher kargen Surfer-Ort El Palmar. Hohe Palmen, Kakteen und Büsche sowie eine Mauer begrenzen sein Grundstück, so dass sich Kinder dort frei und sicher bewegen und sich mit all den Tieren beschäftigen können. Wir hatten das Haus Maria gemietet, zu dem auch der Pool gehört. Haus, Garten und Pool sind so vom restlichen Grundstück abgeteilt, dass man seine Privatsphäre dort hat. Hinterm Garten liegen Felder, so dass man wirklich für sich ist und das Gefühl bekommt, dieses kleine Paradies ganz für sich zu haben. Die Terasse unter dem Weindach ist wunderschön, der Garten ist sehr gepflegt und mit Töpfen und blühenden Pflanzen gestaltet, so dass es ein Genuss ist, das Auge schweifen zu lassen. Der Pool ist auch für Erwachsene tief genug. Das Haus ist geräumig und ebenfalls toll dekoriert und gestaltet, auf eine sehr persönliche und besondere Art, gleichzeitig landestypisch und ursprünglich. Einziges Manko für uns war das Bett im Schlafzimmer, das für 2 Erwachsene für unseren Geschmack etwas zu schmal ist, aber für spanischen Standard normal. Und: Während unseres Aufenthaltes wehte der Levante, ein extrem starker Wind, auch nachts sehr häufig und lies die Fenster klappern, so dass wir oft wach wurden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt! Die Kinder vermissen all die Tiere schmerzlich und haben bittere Abschiedstränen geweint! Wir sind froh, dass wir solch einen besonderen Ort entdeckt und als unser Feriendomizil nutzen konnten.

The villa and the gardens were fantastic and it was a great place to chill and relax. We loved being able to 'borrow' the animals especially the dogs. A fab location that made it easy to get to a variety of places - would recommend it totally!!

Rarely does a property live-up to the "hype" that reviews give it. But this one not only lives-up to it but exceeds it spectacularly. It is beautifully secluded yet only a short walk from the beach. The private pool is wonderful and offers much-needed sanctuary should the dreaded "Levante" wind make the beach a no-go area. The property is superbly-maintained and Juan Antonio is a very welcoming host. I would have no hesitation is recommending this property.

We stayed in the Cortijo for a week at the end of July 2016. We had a great time, feeling utterly relaxed in the welcoming environment provided by Juan Antonio and everything around him. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little paradise, very close to the beach, as well as the city of Cadiz, towns such as Vejer and Conil, and scenic sights such as Cape Trafalgar. We'd recommend this place in all possible ways. Keep up the great work, Juan Antonio.

We enjoyed our stay in El Cortijo del Huerto during the last week of May and the first week of June a lot. The place is truely a paradise: a beautiful little house in the middle of a wonderful green garden with pool, altogether a calm and peaceful place to stay, to relax, and to feel at home from the moment of arrival on. Juan Antonio is a really nice host. The whole property is well kept and beautifully looked after. Our son enjoyed to play with the dogs, to feed the chicken, and to pet Pita. Thanks again for everything, Juan Antonio. We will come back! Oskar, Nicole, and Christian

We had a wonderful week in El Palmar; not only is the beach unusually underdeveloped for Spain (its more of a surfer hang-out), but Juan Antonio's house was just perfect. Clean, well appointed, with every you could need, and full of character (and five minutes tops from the beach). The pool is small and well-kept, and the garden is huge and beautifully looked after. Juan Antonio is a charming, patient and knowledgable host, and his cats and dogs are equally agreeable. You could not ask for more - the perfect place to relax in Andalucia.

This was our second stay at Cortijo del Huerto. We enjoyed again so much. Especially we like the big garden, the pool and the proximity to the beach. Our kids like to play with the dogs and the cats. It is a true place to calm and relax. Juan is so friendly and helpful. While El Palmar is developing (a lot of nice bars with Quality Drinks and Entertainment) this house is a quiet oasis. We will come back definitely.

Beautiful house with pool in a peaceful property. The property consists of three houses, which build up what seems a little paradise in walking distance from the beach, still away from the crowd. Very clean an perfectly well maintained, with great attention to detail! The owner is very friendly and helpful. The welcome included free eggs from the chicken which were kept at the place. Our children loved to feed the chicken, and to play with the dogs and cats at the place. The sandy beaches are long and clean. If you are a runner, you may use the morning hours to run to cap Trafalgar (lighthouse), sports activities include surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing - very affordable surfing schools and rentals within walking distance - try "pata negra" for surfing classes. Plan to visit Vejer (white village) and Cadiz. A lovely holiday at a beautiful vacation home! Thank you Juan Antonio, we will certainly visit again!

We had the most amazing time in El Cortijo del Huerto! Juan is such a warm hearted person - always there to help - the house is furnished with a lot of beautiful detail. Everything is cleand and tidy. The kitchen has everything you need. Every knife is sharp, every pan in a perfect condition. We were there with a teenager and a 12 year old. You can have wonderful family time in this little oasis and if you walk a few meters you have the beach and some entertainment. Thank you Juan for everything. We would love to come back soon!!

This is a lovely property, an eclosed garden inside a gated compound so very safe but also very private despite there being four properties in total in the compound, one of which is Juan's home. Juan was an ideal host, available to give advice when asked but otherwise invisible. Our daily guests included two of the dogs, a host of cats and many chickens. Fresh eggs daily was an added bonus. The bedrooms had limited storage space, none at all in the upstairs section but apart from that the place was well stocked from a kitchen point of view and generally very comfortable. To be recommended.

The property was excellent. The moment the gate opened and we walked in, we felt a strong sense of tranquillity, despite the fact we were only 200 meters from the beach. The house was clean & simple and full of character, with a private garden and a lovely pool. Juan Antonio was an excellent host, always there if there was anything we needed, and providing us with eggs from his chickens on the day we arrived....which were very tasty! The house is set back from the beach, and hidden by trees and bushes. The beach itself was busy at weekends, but quiet during the week. Along the promenade were a number of restaurants & bars, and those that we visited were really good, with excellent service. The beach is obviously a magnet for surfers because of its wonderful waves, and this made it rather an exciting place to bathe! Overall an excellent location, in a part of Spain not dominated by foreign tourists, and a good base to visit Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar ... and even Tangiers!

Un séjour de rêve. Un maison typique, charmante, aménagée avec goûts, tout confort, spacieuse pour 4. Un jardin et sa piscine privatifs, sans vis-à-vis, au calme, des petits coins d'ombre pour se protéger.Le raisin mûr sur la pergola, il n'y a qu'à lever le bras pour se régaler. Juan-Antonio aux petits soins avec, entre autre, son panier d'œufs frais le matin. La plage, une grande étendue de sable fin à 150 m. Verej de la Frontera à 10 km très beau village andalou dominant la vallée,..... plus loin Cadix, Tarifa. Bref, repos, visites, découvertes..... Une très jolie adresse....à partager....mais qu'on aimerait bien garder pour nous !!!
