We spent a lovely Christmas in Maria's place. It is a cosy, clean, semi-detached house with a real fireplace easy walking distance to the town centre. Wood is 7 euros per load and Maria will give the details of who to order it from (in Spanish). Free on-street parking easily available. Maria met us in town and we followed her to the address - a few turns and one-way streets means this was a good decision! Maria was very hospitable and gave us a special Christmas torta which was very nice of her. She also provided a lot of information on how the apartment works (including changing the gas bottle which came in handy as we needed to do that - good that she had a spare to hand). Well-equipped kitchen with gas burners (but no oven). Washing machine and dryer both work well. Note there is no wifi. Grazalema is a lovely spot. We went on a nice hike direct from town; would also be a good base if you were driving further out on day trips. We wish we could have stayed longer. Gracias por todo Maria, hemos disfrutado mucho nuestra estancia.

We had a great stay in Grazalema, Maria made us feel very at home at the property, the listing was very accurate and lovely for the cost. The neighbourhood was good and right in the centre.

This is a lovely little house in the middle of the beautiful town of Grazalema. We were met on arrival and shown around. The house has everything you need and is in walking distance to the centre for local shops,bars and restaurants. Stunning views!

Maria Dolores is a total professional while being a comforting hostess. She went out of her way to help, and even left a few snacks. No complaints.

Maria is a very charming hostess. She was waiting for us upon arrival and took her time explaining how things worked, what to see, where to eat, etc. The house itself was very comfortable and very clean. For the price, this is an excellent deal. We would thoroughly recommend staying here. Grazalema itself is breathtaking! Walt and Flo Thompson, Canada

On arrival, Maria Dolores was super nice and patient with our poor Spanish skills. This apartment is on the ground level and well-situated in a lovely little town. My family of three stayed two nights. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches, like plenty of paper products, some fresh fruit, and some coffee and tea. Unfortunately, on the second morning we did not have any hot water for taking showers or washing dishes. Maria Dolores indicated that there should have been enough gas for the water heater to last for several days; however, only two of us got a hot shower one time, and I don't think we were wasteful with hot water.

We were greeted by Maria Dolores when we arrived to the house. She was waiting inside with the fireplace lit on. After a brief introduction, she spent some time describing the location of the house, the nearest food places/supermarkets, proposed activities and gave us phone numbers to order wood. Everything was perfect and ready and Maria Dolores was always very attentive (after, meanwhile and before our stay). Description is accurate and location is pretty good. Fantastic for a weekend, staying warm at home or doing activities surrounded by nature and amazing mountains with plenty of trails. Recommended! Will come back :)

Very comfortable apartment close to the centre of Grazalema. Easy parking nearby and close to shops and restaurants. Maria was very helpful in spite of our lack of Spanish language skills. The weather was rather cold in March (maybe not surprising as the town i at 800 m altitude) so the log fire was especially welcome.

The house is just lovely -- beautifully decorated and well equipplt (it even has a dish washer). It is a perfect location for those who want to explore the park too. There are several moderate hikes very close to the apartment (just up the hill out of town) and some easier ones about a mile up that same road. Like many homes in southern Spain, it doesn't have heat, but the fireplace and space heaters work well. We visited at a chilly time of year, so we needed to use both, but we didn't mind. Maria was kind and helpful, as was Natalia, whom we met at the apartment. They were both very patient with my high school Spanish and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay.

There was somebody in the apartment to show us around. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine. The apartment was very nice decorated.

The apartment was clean and pretty. Everything is new. We loved Grazalema and the location of the apartment made for a beautiful walk to the center. This apartment would be perfect in the summer because you wouldn't need heat. Because we stayed in the apartment in December, it was a bit too cold and we had some problems with the electricity going off frequently when we tried to use the stove to cook. or use more than 2 electrical devices, for example, the space heater and the stove or 2 lights etc. We used the great fireplace, but the wood is 7 Euros/bag and we used 3 bags over 2.5 days, so this would have to be figured into your budget. Overall, a good place to stay if the electrical problem were fixed and if there were a second space heater, and then it would be a cozy place to stay in the winter. : )

This is a wonderful town to stay in and Maria made us feel so welcome. She is extremely responsive and thorough in her communications, and helped us with local recommendations. We highly recommend staying here!

The apartment is very nice and the location is good for the walks. Responses to questions were quick - though this would have been easier had my Spanish not been unfortunately non-existent! Thanks for a nice stay.

Maria and Natalia (who we met) were very responsive and accommodating. A quick tip for those driving to Grazelema - the main road goes right up to the apartment, so avoid going thru the maze of tiny streets like we did. We were a bit lost and ended up being late. The apartment was gorgeous and everything was very well thought out. We had an accident that was handled very professionally and thoughtfully by Maria. She clearly wants her guests to experience a great time. Two hikes are right across the street with several more scattered around. The restaurant for which there is a card in her home is excellent! We ate there twice.

Maria Jose's place is near the highest point of town, which affords a view over Grazalema and the valley below. The apartment is in one of the more newly constructed buildings that is now so commonly seen on the outskirts of so many Spanish towns. Though it is a short walk to town, the location is actually quite good if you have your own car as getting in and out of town couldn't be easier. The apartment was clean and orderly and well supplied. Logistics getting in and out were also flawless, and Maria Jose was attentive and responsive through the booking process.

A cozy, comfortable apartment with a fantastic view in one of the best villages in Andalusia. Everything worked well, and Maria provided lots of information. It was cold indoors in March, but the electric heaters and the fireplace helped a lot. Maria even told us who to call to get more firewood delivered. The apartment is at the far western end of the village, so everything is an uphill walk from the main plaza. But that means you get your exercise walking home after eating out or running errands. There is parking close by, and many hiking trails start from the campground just up the hill. The view from the bedroom window is glorious. Every morning when we opened the curtains we said "wow." Grazalema is our favorite village in Andalucia: as pretty as a picture, close to beautiful hikes and drives, with many good restaurants and all of the services you need in a village (grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, health clinic, shops, swimming pool, hardware store, etc.). We stayed in the village for two weeks, living a slow and quiet life, and could happily have stayed twice as long. Don't miss the fine dining at El Chico de Cadiz and Casa de las Piedras, the excellent tapas at gastrobars Contrastes and La Maroma, and the fine leatherwork of Fernando at Tienda la Chica.

Lourdes was very welcoming. Apartment very central. Although small was very well equipped and planned. It more than Lived up to our expectations. Plenty of interesting local shops and restaurants. An added bonus was the Spanish water dogs show mid October 2016

I think there isn't much left to add to all those raving reviews. We really enjoyed our stay and this little house is just so authentic and lovely. Can't recommend it enough!

Nice place. Very nice host. Great location. Lots of nice things to see and delicious restaurants to eat at. Pretty close to a market and fresh pastery shops.

Highly recommend this place. Ideally located in the center of historical City. Ideally located to travel to different white villages in the area.

Very central location but was a bit noisy for me.

Lourdes contacted us straight after the booking had been confirmed and then again the day before we were due to arrive. This was perfect. Finding the house was easy and Lourdes was available to let us in without any delay. Many thanks for the fruit and wine on arrival.

Lourdes was a very nice host. She welcomed us personally and helped us to plan our stay in Grazalema. She also offered fresh fruits from her fantastic tree in the garden. If there would have been less and less old furniture, kitchen stuff etc. we would have felt even more like at home.

It was a nice and cozy Flat in the center of Grazalema. The visitor center right across the plaza. Maybe a bit small if you are 4 or more but enough for a bed after hiking. Good restaurants all over the city

La casa tiene una situación ideal, muy bonita y cómoda.

Casa muy acogedora, ideal para pasar unos días de descanso y tranquilidad!

Una casa muy acogedora

We stayed at Maru's Namaste apartment for a week. The apartment was clean, attractive and well located to explore Grazalema and the surrounding mountain trails. The apartment was thoughtfully and nicely equipped with most everything that we needed. Maru and family were conscientious and quick to respond to all of our needs. We are very happy with the experience.

Great neighbourhood and our check-in was very good. Apartment is clean and nice. Our only quibble is with the bathroom. The shower is hand-held or positioned at mid-body height - no way can you actually stand under it. And the toilet is right up against the washing machine, making it really awkward to sit on. I think the only solution is to put the washing machine somewhere else, and attach a shower head higher up - you really need a good shower in Sevillan heat. But otherwise, though compact, it is fine, and a fair price.

Maru is a very warm and friendly host - we felt welcome from the point we arrived in Grazalema .The appartment was comfortable, roomy and well equipped. The location is perfect for everyone interested in relaxed, calm mountain village holidays. I can only recommend both the flat and host!

Maru's place is spacious and nicely decorated. Someone was there to greet us within a few minutes of our arrival. There was a nice little bottle of champagne to welcome us. We briefly spoke with Maru and Jack and they were very pleasant. Maru was kind to leave restaurant recommendations and information about the area, which was very helpful. We greatly enjoyed our stay! Many thanks!

Great location in lovely Grazalema, close to hiking trails. Maru was out of town when we arrived but easy to communicate with via text. Her neighbor meet us and showed us to the apartment. The apartment is well designed and comfortable with the central patio providing light to the three rooms (living room, kitchen and bedroom). The kitchen has everything you need including a manual on how to operate the complicated stove top. We had some difficulty with the internet password but help was provided and once online, it worked very well. The town provides ample food shopping options with several grocery stores and specialty food shops. Parking is easiest if done at one of the two large parking lots at either end of town. We highly recommend staying here and the nearby hiking.

This was one of my favorite AirBnB experiences in the years I have used the service. I love Grazalema and the apartment was just lovely, art-filled, comfortable and everything Maru said it would be. Maru met me in the square, guided me through the town and suggested great hikes and tours nearby. A lovely experience.

We've had a great 5-night stay in this charming apartment. The apartment is spacious, well decoratated and has two comfortable double bedrooms. Our baby slept in the baby cot meanwhile we could enjoy the patio. We would like to come back when our baby is able to enjoy the surroundings with us.

Light, bright, airy apartment in a very central location in a beautiful village. Very comfortable and nicely decorated with plenty of room for four people. Lovely mountain view from the bigger bedroom. There were enough heaters and blankets for us to stay warm during cold weather. The shower is strong and hot, and the kitchen is very modern. It's wonderful to have a dishwasher and washing machine. We would be happy to stay here again. Appreciated all of the information that the hosts provided about the apartment, the village, and the surrounding area.

La estancia fue maravillosa, el sitio inmejorable, por situacion, mobiliario, limpieza... Maria no dudo en acudir ante cualquier duda nuestra, por tanto el trato tambien inmejorable. Para repetir sin duda

Genial. En el centro del maravilloso pueblo de agraza lema y cerca del parque natural de los alcornocales y los pueblos blancos. Bien equipado y confortable.

Una casa recientemente arreglada, bien acondicionada, con todo prácticamente nuevo y muy limpia. Un campo base muy agradable para recorrer los pueblos blancos de la sierra de Cádiz.

Perfectly located house in Grazalema with the most outstanding views and in the center of the small city. We did not meet Carlos but the manager was living in the next house and she was very kind and helpful. The pool was dirty at out arrival, but the manager cleaned it just as we asked for it. Everything is working in the house, but it is quite worn down and needs a thorough cleaning. The pool is small and nice and there is a lot of sun on the terrace. There are 2 sun beds and a table and chairs. Grazalema is the most wonderful and authentic pueblo in the mountains and it is perfectly located if you like hiking. We really enjoyed staying in Grazalema.

Whenever I have visited picturesque villages there is always a house on the hill with the best view, and I have always wondered what that view is like. This is that house and the views are breath-taking - from the pool deck, breakfast table on the living room balcony, the bedroom balconies, in fact from every window at the back of the house. All this, plus the front door of the house faces onto one of the main town squares with parking straight outside. The house is old and grand with high ceilings, lots of dark wood panelling, cool tiled floors and lots of space. As it is not a modern house, there is no air-con and the bedrooms did get hot at night when we stayed (late July/early August – 40C during the day) but good ventilation (there are lots of big windows and doors) kept the temperatures down during the day. The kitchen isn’t set up to do much more than basic meal prep, but does have a dish washer and washing machine. You can eat in the kitchen, the living room or downstairs on the pool deck. Grazalema is a beautiful, quiet and sleepy mountain town with friendly residents, restaurants and shops. Great for a few days chilling out and winding down (although teenagers might get bored after that with the lack of wifi!). We visited with 10, 12 and 14 year old children who loved the house, but due to the very steep drops into the valley from the pool deck, probably wouldn’t recommend for kids younger than 8. That is the pay-off for getting such beautiful views that greet you when you open the shutters in the morning. Grazalema is a good base for visiting the equally beautiful Ronda, Zahara de La Sierra, the white villages and taking scenic mountain drives. There are a few small-ish supermarkets in Grazalema itself, and bigger ones 30 mins away in Ronda. Life in Grazalema is very typically Spanish - the shops take a long siesta in the afternoon, and most people seem to eat out at about 10pm, and it takes very little time to slow down to Grazalema pace. We had very good communications with Carlos before our visit, and checking in and out was straightforward and quick. We would thoroughly recommend Carlos, the house, and Grazalema and would love to visit again in the future.

this was a dream house, with what is surely the best view in Grazalema, right at the foot of the town with an uninterrupted view of the valley. I had a misunderstanding with Carlos when booking the house and as a result arrived a day earlier than he was expecting. though entirely my fault, he left us a bottle of wine as an apology. 5 stars

This place is well represented in the photos and description. It has wonderful views and lots of space. We cooked dinner one night and all the things we needed were there (except for a sharp knife). It is in the center of town and is convenient to everything.

We had an excellent experience here. We were a group of nine, and enjoyed the views, the close proximity to restaurants and coffee houses, and the kids loved the pool. Carlos was helpful and attentive. Highly recommended!

Lots of space and plenty of character! We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and beautiful view. Grazalema was wonderful!

Not only a very nice house in a great location, it is also a unique experience. Feeling like living on a cliff in front of an amazing view.

La estancia fue bastante cómoda. Una gran casa, con unas vistas increíbles y la ubicación perfecta.

Genial todo

Todo muy bien.

The house is located in a rather quiet street, not far from the center of the village, which is beautiful.

La casa de abuela is a nice place to stay for a couple of days and enjoy some walking around grazalema

I loved staying in this very traditional town house, in a great mountain village. I didnt meet Yolanda, but her assistant Ana was friendly and helpful. Lots of space, lots of charácter, and very good value.

Buena ubicación y buen precio

Muy bien. Ha sido muy detallista y nos ha solucionado todas las necesidades. La casa está bien. Una casa antigua de pueblo con encanto. La habitación grande de matrimonio está bien. Las otras dos son muy pequeñas y no muy cómodas, aunque hay espacio fuera suficiente. El baño es pequeñito también.

Situado cerca del centro de Grazalema, tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días en la sierra. La dueña estuvo siempre disponible para cualquier duda/problema.

Hemos pasado unos buenos días en la casa de la Abuela de Yolanda. Muy bien atendidos y recibidos por Ana. Al ser una casa antigua, es algo fría, pero con el brasero, las estufas y los edredones se descansa perfectamente. Se aparca fácilmente en la calle y, como Grazalema no es muy grande, las cafeterías, supermercados, bares, cajeros,... están cerca a pie. Casa muy tranquila. Al ocupar una finca muy estrecha, la distribución de los espacios es diferente a la mayoría de las casas, y los cuartos interiores son oscuros. La decoración y mobiliario son de una casa rural antigua. No busques una casa de diseño moderno, aunque tiene todo lo necesario. Pequeño pero agradable patio con flores.

Casa de pueblo muy bonita,muy bien decorada, en una calle preciosa, a un paso del centro, con aparcamiento en la puerta o muy cerca. El pueblo y la zona espectaculares. Se come espectacular y a muy buen precio. Tanto Yolanda, como Ana,personas simpatiquisimas y siempre atentas para lo que necesites.

This is a great scenic location situated on a working horse farm, complete with dogs, chickens and amazing views of mountains and Lake Zahara. If you are looking for a peaceful and restful stay, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Marion's place is worth considering.

We enjoyed our time at the Finca to the most possible extend. It's beautifully located with a fantastic view over the lake and the andalusian mountains. The opportunity to go horse riding is also a true benefit. Some really nice traditional villages are just a few minutes drive away so you can enjoy great tapas and typical atmosphere. We will definitely come back one day!

Especially for horse-minded people the finca is a little paradise. The view is lovely, the horses beautiful and the dogs friendly and well-mannered. Marion is the perfect hostess and very friendly and helpful. The villages and hills around the finca were beautiful with plenty of wildflowers and wildlife, even at the end of March. We had a wonderful holiday there.

This Finca is a great place to stay! And Marion is a very nice and welcoming host. The view of the surroundings is stunning and the pool is great for cooling down. There are quite a lot of flys which you should consider before booking. However if you like animals, especially horses this is a great place for you.

It's as beautiful as the pictures suggest. If you're booking a stay here, book for a night longer - you won't want to leave. Marion is a great host with lots of information, but leaves you to yourself if that's what you want. The studio has everything you need for your stay there.

De locatie is prachtig , vanuit je bed heb je zicht op de bergen en in de ochtend word je wakker door een vogelconcert . Het appartement is een eenvoudig echter meer heb je niet nodig

Perfekt! Wir waren die ersten Gäste im Apartment und wenn es auch kaum besser ging, waren Marion und Aldo permanent darauf bedacht uns alles noch angenehmer zu machen. Die Finca ist herrlich, die Umgebung großartig und ein Ausritt auf den eigenen Pferden der Finca mit Antonio unbeschreiblich. Vielen Dank, wir kommen wieder.

Der traumhafte Blick von der Terasse und sogar vom Bett aus (!) allein würde ausreichen um wiederzukommen. Darüber hinaus ist Marion eine sehr sympathische, unkomplizierte und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Die Umgebung bietet viel Gelegenheit etwas zu sehen (hübsche Orte, Wander, Reiten) oder aber man entspannt einfach auf der Finca. Ohne Auto geht jedoch nichts.

Una pega fue que los colchones individuales necesitan ser reemplazados, los de las camas dobles bien, comodos. Y quee las duchas no se sujetaban en los soportes, el resto bien, la casa espaciosa, limpia y comoda. Huesemos preferido una mesa bajita entre l

La casa muy acogedora. Muy limpia y bien decorada. Las habitaciones no son muy grandes, tienen calefacción y las camas muy cómodas. Hay mantas de sobra, aunque no son necesarias. La cocina tiene de todo, no echarás en falta nada. La chimenea en el salón es fantástica, es cerrada, y mantiene la casa entera a muy buena temperatura. Y aún teniendo casi todo el día la chimenea encendida durante los 3 días... sobró más de la mitad. En el salón además de la tele hay 5 o 6 juegos de mesa, parchís, cartas... que harán tu estancia más entretenida. No es céntrica, está en la parte alta de Grazalema, a 5-7 minutos a pie del centro (eso sí... en cuesta). Juan José muy atento y agradable. Nos facilitó entrar temprano y la salida más tarde. Nos explicó varias rutas de senderismo. Sin dudas, un alojamiento muy recomendable para pasar unos días en la sierra. Los niños han disfrutado de lo lindo...y los mayores también! ;).

La casa está ubicada en una zona del pueblo muy accesible, desde la que se llega andando a cualquier parte. Juan José nos facilitó la llegada a la casa y nos dio total libertad para la salida. Nos sugirió varias rutas de senderismo por la zona. La casa está cuidada porque él mismo la utiliza ocasionalmente algún fin de semana, sobretodo si hay nieve ;) Todas las mantas que hagan falta, calefactores y chimenea (aunque tampoco hizo tanto frío) Repetiremos!

Experiencia muy positiva. Vivienda muy bien situada, centrica y accesible a cualquier punto.

La casa es amplia y cómoda y se encuentra en una plaza muy tranquila y con hermosas vistas. Todo muy nuevo y muy limpio. Agua caliente (incluso demasiado caliente) abundante. El pueblo es muy bonito, en mitad de la Sierra de Grazalema que es bellísima. En la parte baja del pueblo hay muchos comercios y bares. Como única advertencia yo avisaria de que la escalera para subir a la segunda planta es un poco angosta y le puede resultar difícil a gente mayor o con movilidad reducida. La casa se alquila con plaza de garage pero esta se encuentra por detrás del edificio y cuesta un poco acceder. Si el coche es un poco grande van a hacer falta unas cuantas maniobras. Por lo demás, todo muy bien

Good place. Large, lots of room for big group. You make your own bed, lots of warm blankets are available. In very nice town with lots to see and do.

We arrived in Grazelema and Virginia's contact person Mary met us at the apt when we phoned her. There was a bit of a language barrier due to our limited skills in Spanish speaking but we did OK. The apt was very spacious and very clean and had a view of the mountains from the Windows. The flat is just a ten minute walk into town. With a coffee maker, we were able to make our own breakfast after picking up a few groceries in town.

We had a great couple of days in the house. Despite cold weather we were warm with the open fire and electric heaters in the bedroom. House feels spacious and very handy to be able to park outside. It snowed while we were there yeeeee. :-)

Virginia was a good, communicative host. The house was very clean. The location was quiet and it was a nice walk to the town's center.

The house was lovely - we found it quite easily, and there was parking on the street just outside. Only a few minutes walk to the centre of the town, with grocery shops, bars and other shops. The house is well equipped, and perfect for a large group on a budget. We used the fire every night as it was quite chilly, but Virginia made sure we could easily get more fire wood and it was very pleasant.

We really enjoyed staying in Virginia's house in Grazalema. We are a group of 6 so the house suited us really well as it was quite roomy. We did not meet Virginia as she lives in Jerez but Maria met us and was very welcoming. Grazalema is a great centre for hiking. There is a lot going on and good places to eat. We thorough enjoyed our stay.

Village blanc, Maison Blanche. Très agréable!

Han sido dos días estupendos. La casa genial, fiel a las fotos, y bien situada. Grazalema es precioso, por no hablar de sus alrededores. Virginia atenta en todo momento. Muy recomendable.
