A few of the comments from 2006 to 2008 at La Alcantarilla...
Thank you for such a fabulous stay... you´ve got us seriously thinking of moving out to ronda...we had a very special holiday. It was great to visit your wonderful home and meet your lovely daughter Maia...

Thanks for making our week at Alcantarilla so pleasant. We really appreciated all the things for the children, including Maia sharing so many of her toys.

Jon and Gabs, Thank you both for such a great stay. You made us feel so welcome and really appreciated everything you did to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Also thanks for making our two-year-old Estrella´s time here safe and happy too! See you in the Midwest!

I loved your big garden collecting wallnuts and playing with the dogs...

We had an awesome stay. Nice warm showers and a really great kitchen too..
breakfasts on the front patio with those amazing views. Arriate is a fabulous little town, and Ronda is not bad either!

Thanks for a fantastic stay.... and how nice to come in the winter when you can use the log-burning stove at nights to heat up the sitting room... very romantic! The kids loved the walk to Arriate and especially the place there that sells Hot Chocolate...

Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home. The decor is lovely, the setting idyllic and we all want to come back again soon. There is a gorgeous garden, with the calming scent of lavender, a stunning view... and two of the friendliest canine pals we´ve ever had the luck to stroke. We don´t want to leave.

What a great location to explore the national parks of Alcornocales, Grazalema and the Sierra de las Nieves. And we´ve done that in shed-loads.
Tapas is a must in Arriate´s Almacen, fab donuts at the bread shop and turron from SuperAni... Seen the Griffon vultures near Montecorto, fantastic flora and fauna. Had a great time.

Our third time in the Ronda area and definitely the best accomodation. We loved the local countryside, the beach near Marbella fits the bill perfectly for our four year old and the best meal this holiday was at Molino del Santo.
Nicholas Liz and Thomas (4) Good, UK. October 2007
Thanks for making our stay a brilliant one... It was a real pleasure spending time here and meeting you both... You have created a wonderful sanctuary from the world. We look forward to returning.

We found out that a week is much too short in Ronda. But nevertheless we succeeded in enjoying the house, the pool, the figs, apples, herbs, grapes, views, and environment, etc... see you again.

Dear Jon and Gabs,
We loved the view from the pergola, terrific swimming pool, where we seem to have spent most of our days. All in all we have had a fabulous holiday and dogs are very sweet, especially Scruffy.

Thanks for letting me stay in your gorgeous home. I loved the garden especially the eating area surrounded by plants. PS. Otto is so cute
Mo Clouting, 9, Chester, UK. July 2007
Dear Jon and Gabs, thanks for such a lovely stay at your beautiful home. We appreciated all the thoughtful amenities you provided. The art and decorative touches were beautiful. I wish we had more time to chat with you and we certainly hope to return.

What a wonderful house, which has been transformed into the most enchanting retreat, but still not far from Ronda and its delicious food and wine. As the ´centre of the universe´ it is a marvellous choice for visitors wanting to explore Andalucia.
Martin Brackenbury, Chairman of the World Tourism Organization and International Federation of Tour Operators, London, UK. Jan 2007
We have had a wonderful week staying in la Alcantarilla... the house has been so comfortable, light and airy. Despite being a group of five, we have not felt cramped or cluttered. The colour schemes are simple and beautiful, adding to a feeling of space and openness.
