A Fantastic Holiday
Our recent stay at La Posada Romana was fabulous. Nestled into the hillside under Gaucin, with breathtaking views of mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and even North Africa, this villa exceeded our expectations and allows for the perfect relax and escape. Other reviews have mentioned: smell of mould - no evidence of this on our trip old towels - not a concern for us, additional pool towels were also there. The villa and grounds are stunning. Inside - large living spaces, tasteful décor and comfortable furnishings - fully equipped kitchen, allowing us to prepare anything we wanted to (the first time we have had everything needed for large group catering) - spacious bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, and terraces We spent every evening after dinner on the main terrace watching the sunset followed by moon and stars. The comfy seats, outside fans and bbq is great too. The brand new outdoor pool is gorgeous - an absolute hit for our group and couple of frogs too! Sun loungers with another covered terrace for shade allowed us a couple of afternoons of extreme leisure. The villa's location was ideal for exploring the surrounding region. Gaucin (with great restaurants - La Fructuosa was our favourite) is walkable, albeit steep, but otherwise a car is essential for getting about (the approach roads to the villa are rough country roads so an SUV is highly recommended). Miren and Diego were always available to answer any questions and were lovely to us. Our whole group loved it!!!

Gaucin Country Villa
The location of the property was beautiful as was the layout of the house. Miren was lovely, easily accessible, helpful and friendly. The views from the house were simply gorgeous!!! Everyone had plenty of room and privacy. Most of the beds were comfortable and clean. The room with the bunk beds, however, had a very strong smell of mold and I don't think it would be healthy for someone to sleep in it. The mold smell was pervasive in the entire villa - but with windows and doors open it dissipated. While the furniture was comfortable it was quite dirty - simply due to its wear and tear over the years. The kitchen was big and well stocked but all the pots and pans and small appliances needed to be scrubbed clean and some replaced (the automatic drip coffee maker never worked properly). The bath towels were also quite old. New plusher towels would be a nice addition. While all 11 of us loved the villa and would stay there again, we felt it was in need of some updates and a deep cleaning.

A wonderful dream come true
We recently completed a 1 month stay at La Posada Romana (month of September 2023) as part of a 4 ½ month retirement celebration trip in Europe and Spain. I have wanted to spend an extended visit in Andalucia for many years and spent over 2 years searching the best place to stay in the Ronda Sierra once I decided this was the area I wanted to stay in. I tried to read and research all I could to gain an understanding for the area and which place to rent. For this reason I will spend time on this review in hopes that it might help others. In my search for places to rent I kept coming back to thinking Posada Romana was the right place for us even though originally I was just hunting for a place for my husband and myself. I am so happy I made the choice. La Posada Romana was perfect for our visit in this area although a little different than what I originally envisions our month to be. We were just the 2 of us for about 2/3 of the month and then had friends and family visiting for the last part of our visit. I originally imagined going into Gaucin everyday and becoming part of the town life when not going on day side trips. In the end, the house and location were so beautiful and tranquil that I really had limited desire to leave the property. I loved spending time starting at morning coffee till midnight dinners on the terrazzo with views constantly changing in the light and really always staying cool (there are ceiling fans) in September all day. As the month went on, evenings

In Awe
Firstly, the pictures of the property on VRBO do the house no justice. This property is absolutely stunning! The decor is stylish, sophisticated and homely. The house is really well equipped with everything that you need for a large group. We spent a week here (8 adults and 8 teenagers). A couple of reviews mentioned a daunting drive through the village of Gaucin to the property - we found this drive exciting, beautiful and challenging which resulted in a remote destination which is perfect if you are looking for somewhere quiet to stay. Miren is the perfect host, she reached out to us daily to ensure all was in order and provided a huge amount of information about the area. She also made contact prior to our stay requesting passport copies to ensure a smooth check in. The views from the property are to die for. We hiked in the mornings, relaxed by the pool in the afternoon (or did day trips) and braai'd in the evenings taking in the lovely views. The bedrooms are beautiful and there are so many eating areas, chill our zones. I highly recommend this property, a miilion times better than we were expecting. Miren is the best host i have encountered throughout my travels - so many lovely memories made within our stay. Craig

A special place in a very special location
There is so much to love about La Posada Romana. We spent 5 weeks there from mid-Sept to mid-Oct with many different groups of friends and family and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The view from the villa is spectacular, the communal spaces are ideal for large groups to gather and the nearby white hill town of Gaucin is wonderful--a decent market, a number of very good restaurants, even a terrific wine and gourmet shop. This is a place for peace and quiet, for hiking (the town is an ONEROUS 35 minute hike from the villa), for enjoying people you love. It's also very well situated as a central base for visiting other historic sites in the Andalusia region, e.g., Cadiz, Seville, Granada, Cordoba (all best via an overnight trip) and Ronda. The owner, Miren, is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. The caretaker, Diego, and his wife, Ester (who can be hired to prepare delicious meals for your group--she brings them all done, family style) are true gems. The constructive feedback we gave to Miren is that the place could use a deep cleaning (especially the rugs/mats in the bedrooms and the upholstery) and despite the many prior deserved negative reviews about the towels, they had not been upgraded. And, this home is not a place for people who have difficulty with stairs. Also, make sure you get specific driving instructions from Miren the first time you visit as you approach Gaucin (our GPS didn't work). Overall, we had a fantastic experience that we'll never forget.

Incredible home and location for a Family Vacation
We spend our family vacation with 20 people at this is a beautiful House August 2022. We were looking for a spacious home with enough bedrooms and bathrooms and we found it in this beautiful Mansion. The house was as advertised in VRBO. The first reaction upon coming to the house was Wow...The beautiful entrance, staircase, spacious living room, kitchen and beautiful view from the large terrace were unbelievable and made this the perfect home for our vacation. Although we had a large group, we never felt cramped. There was enough space and sitting areas to relax and enjoy every moment. The large living room, dining room and large terrace provided more than enough room for relaxing and enjoying meals with the family. The Gas grill on the terrace was a wonderful feature that we used almost every night. The indoor pool is large and was perfect to keep the kids and adults happy. Although the pool is indoor there is a double door to an outside terrace that made you feel you were also enjoying the outdoors. The kitchen is spacious with a large fridge/freezer, 2nd fridge, cooking range, oven and microwave that was more than enough for our group. The decorations throughout the house are rich and tasteful. Bedrooms were spacious and had enough closet space. Bathrooms are large and modern. We worked with Miren for several months before making our decision and she was very responsive and helpful...I'm so glad we decided for her home. Miren is a very nice and helpful Host. She helped us arranged a winery tour with lunch for the whole group including transportation and everything was top..very memorable outing for our family. Diego the caretaker was very friendly, was often at the property and was very helpful when we needed something. This home is nested on the mountain just below Gaucin, as such, to get to the home one has to navigate through secondary roads that are sometimes gravel and sometimes cement. This secondary road starts off A-377 as one goes north before reaching Gaucin. From the start of the road, it’s only a 6-minute ride to the house. Initially one is impressed by the backroad aspects but relax, it’s all worth it when you get to the house. From this house we did daily trips to Gibraltar, Malaga, Sevilla, Cadiz, Ronda (we love Ronda), Estepona and Granada on two Mercedes Vito vans. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for unique, large, luxurious, and memorable home. The views and the sky are unique from this house.

Sometimes you look at the pictures and hope for the best but prepare for a disappointment. Not so with this property, it's every bit as good as the pictures show it to be.

Para no salir
El alojamiento es enorme y perfectamente preparado para una pasar unos días aislado del mundo. Los accesos no son muy cómodos como para estar haciendo muchas excursiones. El pueblo está muy cerca y tiene de todo pero el camino es muy empinado (normal teniendo en cuenta donde estas) sin duda repetiremos, es ideal para ir con niños. La única pega es la barbacoa que tienen. Soy un fan de las barbacoas y la que hay en la casa no está a la altura del resto de las instalaciones.

Atemberaubend! Der absolute Wahnsinn ist diese Villa genau so hatten wir es uns vorgestellt
Wir sind 5 Ehepaare und fahren einmal im Jahr zusammen weg, meistens nach Spanien und mieten uns hochwertige Wohnungen oder Häuser. Diese Villa war aber das Beste was wir bisher hatten. Die Lage allein ist schon ein Traum mit Blick ins Tal und auf die umlaufenden Berge. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und es war auch alles sauber. Die Matrazen in den Betten auch wunderbar. Die im Obergeschoss liegende riesige Suite mit Wellnessbad ist wirklich das Highlight im Haus. Die Küche ist geräumig und mit allem versehen was man braucht zum Kochen für eine größere Anzahl von hungrigen Menschen. Geschirr, Töpfe und Besteck ist ausreichend vorhanden. Die 2 großen Kühlschränke sind ebenfalls von Vorteil. Mehrere Terrassen und Balkone auf verschiedenen Etagen laden zum Entspannen ein. Das Wohnzimmer ist auch riesig mit großer Couch und mehreren Sitzmöglichkeiten. Der Innenpool wurde von uns genutzt kostet aber extra. Der große Garten ist gepflegt mit vielen Bäumen und schöner Grünfläche. Alles in Allem war es ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in Gaucin. Die Villa kann ich jedem empfehlen. Leider haben wir Miren nicht persönlich kennen gelernt. Sie ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit wenn auch nur am Telefon. Eine von uns hatte ihre Schlüssel und Brille im Haus vergessen. Miren hat ein Paket gemacht und es zu ihr nachgeschickt. Vielen Dank nochmal für diese nette Geste. Kommen wir zu den wenigen Kritikpunkten: 1. Der Anfahrtsweg zur Villa ist ein reines Abenteuer und mit einem normalen PKW kaum ohne Schäden am Unterboden zu schaffen. Wir hatten zum Glück 3 SUV Fahrzeuge und mutige Fahrer. Trotzdem wurde eine Felge am Mietwagen beschädigt ( verkratzt ) was vom Vermieter in Rechnung gestellt wurde. Nach ein paar Fahrten hatten wir uns an die Paris - Dakar Strecke gewöhnt. Ebenso kann man es vergessen die Villa alleine zu finden wenn man ankommt, trotz Navi. Wir wissen es jetzt und rufen Miren gleich an, die uns dann Diego schickt. 2. Die Einweisung durch Diego in ein solches hochwertiges Objekt mit Schwimmbad und so viel Technik war nicht optimal, da Diego nur spanisch spricht. Wir mussten halt learning by doing anwenden was oft mit viel Geduld klappte, wie zum Beispiel der Whirlpool. 3. Beim Zimmer neben dem Techikraum sind nachts Pumpgeräusche der Pooltechnik zu hören. Trotzdem würden wir die Villa sofort wieder buchen

Two weeks at Posada Romana
We enjoyed our stay and the property has a wonderful location with an amazing view. The garden and pool are lovely. Bedrooms and bathrooms of a high standard. Towels need to be replaced more often as were not soft and pool ones were tatty and we were surprised we did not get clean ones after week one. Although the kitchen is well appointed there were a number of issues. We were asked to conserve water but there was no sink plug. A number of the appliances either didn’t work, had bits missing or were broken. The hand mixer started as soon as plugged in and smelled terrible suggesting it was dangerous. There were lots of water glasses but only 6 wine and cava glasses. We bought more. The fridges were good. Lovely to have so much ice. Furnishings in living area nice. A pity Ikea bedspreads were put over indoor and outdoor sofas as these were constantly rumpled and coming off.

Beautiful spot, a bit tough to access
The house and grounds are beautiful. The view is stupendous. The terrace is awesome. The house is clean and very comfortable. The house easily accommodated the 11 of us. There are only two issues: 1) the access roads to the house are in very rough shape so you need a bit of nerve, good tires and,in several spots, constant acceleration to get to the town or the main road. (The owner is working on getting the road improved.) You can walk up to town, but that takes about 1 hour. So, it is not easy to get back and forth from the house; 2) the 3 bedrooms on the top floor (other than the master bedroom) do not have a bathroom, so users of those bedrooms either have to use the master bathroom or go elsewhere. (changing one f those 3 bedrooms to a bathroom would help.) And, on the pool level, the bedroom (there are 3 bedrooms on the pool level) closest to the room with the house mechanicals can be a bit noisy in case you are a light sleeper. But overall, given the superb condition and beauty of the house and grounds, the overall comfort of the house, the views from the house and the wonderful assistance of the house owner (Miren) and Diego, the gardener/handyman, whenever we had any questions, we highly recommend the house.

Fantastic Family Gathering
Our family of 8 adults had a fantastic week at beautiful Posada Romana. The well equipped house is huge, with dining & seating areas large enough for all of us to gather (with room to spare) and also sufficient space for everyone to find their own quiet peaceful spot if required. The design of the house is stunning and makes the most of the magnificent views, which can be appreciated from many of the rooms & various terraces. The pool and table tennis equipment were a big hit with everyone and used everyday. Communication with Miren was excellent and locating the house not a problem. Miren arranged for us to meet Diego (the Gardener) at the petrol station in Gaucin and he guided us down to the house. Whilst the track was daunting at first, we soon got used to it and made the journey to and from Gaucin several times during the week.

Stunning house ideal for family stays
We stayed here in July and everyone enjoyed this well managed large house. The owner is great at emails. The journey does present some challenge but we left the hassle of the final approach to the taxis. We were delighted not to worry about driving but used Diego, the Handyman/Gardener to ferry us all upto Gaucin when further provisions were needed or to enjoy the many restaurants and bars. Perhaps younger, fitter folk could walk there but its quite a stretch! The location is, in every other way, absolutely perfect. Its private, quiet apart from occasional tinkling of goat bells somewhere and with superb long distant views. It really is enchanting. The house is well managed and generally well equipped with baby and children's gear. The main drawing room/lounge is magnificent and looks at least as beautiful as you see in the pictures. Its the real deal and fabulous. There are 3 terraces for possible eating (& sun-bathing) tho the downstairs terrace (with vined gazebo) is a trek from the kitchen. This is large, modern and right next to the dining room. Good hob, ovens, fridge space etc. Dishwasher floods if you open to pop in a forgotten spoon but effective otherwise. There are 3 possible dining options although the terrace dining is for smaller numbers. Esther, Diego's wife, is available if required to cook for you and we enjoyed her food very much indeed - not easy to please a mix of carnivores, vegetarians and vegans but all were happy! Her food arrived ready to eat and is wholesome, tasty and highly recommended. Sleeping accommodation is on 3 levels and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Downstairs they are next to but separate from the pool area which worked well for us with slightly older children (6, 10, 2 x 11 & 13 yrs). Its easily closed off for safety. However, adjacent to the Master bedroom on top level are 3 other double bedrooms (one with bunks, functioning as TV/Wii playroom). There are no bathrooms for these rooms so sleepers have to either use the master bathroom or go down big stairs to the visitors loo-not ideal. The indoor pool is lovely-narrow, long and well maintained. Table tennis, games & a relaxation area is nearby, great for non-sunworshippers. Fab the children didn't need sun cream for the majority of their days here! There's the beginning of a sauna/steam room but incomplete. The garden is lovely & chickens (fresh eggs!) are nearby.. Highly recommended for a relaxing family group or for some great fun with friend

My name is Miren.
I live between the coast and Gaucin.
I love walking, reading, swimming, golf and i'm interested in psychology and oriental philosophy.

Why they chose this property

My husband's dream was to have a house in the Countryside. He found his dream spot in Gaucin.
We bought the finca in 2003, and build what is today La Posada Romana.
We are very proud of the house and the gardens that we have surrounding us and that.
I fell in love of the area when we came to buy the finca, because is so green and there is forest everywhere, is very peaceful and specially we love the views over the strait of Gibraltar.

What makes this property unique

The whole project was drawn in a restaurant napkin and passed on to a wonderful arquitect: Gustavo Kloster, who made our dream reality and managed the building project following to the point our wishes.
