This is a five-star villa in every sense of the word: location near Ronda, beauty of area, the villa itself, and the quality of the villa managers, Caroline and Robert. The property itself is gorgeous, with a huge patio offering both sun and shade as well as outdoor eating, a pool, and beautiful grounds which were in bloom when we were there a week ago. The interior of the villa is spacious: very large bedrooms with all the amenities you could want, a comfortable TV area as well as indoor fireplace area, a sunny sitting/reading area, and an extremely well stocked kitchen. Caroline and Robert provided a sumptuous well basket and valuable information as did Lawrence, the gardener. Everything is extremely well decorated, and the overall feeling of the place is warmth and comfortable elegance. Chef Judie, a local chef, provided us with a world-class birthday dinner for a member of our party, and "Frank's Place" in Arriate is special place to eat. All in all, this is the best of the European villas we have stayed at over the past five years.

Finca Maridadi is elegant yet comfortable and large enough for 5 couples with plenty of room to be alone. Our group of 5 couples found it hard to consider leaving the grounds! The gardens, the pool and the beautiful views kept us busy for at least a couple of days. The caretakers, Mike and Maria were warm, gracious and made sure we had a wonderful vacation. They have become our friends and hope to have them visit us in the U.S. They introduced us to some of the local homeowners and recommended fabulous restaurants.
The kitchen was a chef's dream and the house is decorated beautifully. We've rented other houses before, yet none of them have been as welcoming, beautifully appointed and centrally located as this one. Look for them on VRBO.com. I can't say enough about the experience. Thank you Maria, Mike, Caro and the beautiful and beloved animals.
