Gaucin is a lovely village & our stay at Casa Mihrab (Charming House) was great. It was very central with lots of restaurants nearby. The views from the terrace were spectacular. We would certainly stay again.
The house is very nice, well equipped and stocked. Check-in was smooth. Gaucín was still quiet - pre-season. It has all you need. We did a few trips and nice walks. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay in this unique house. Gaucin is a beautiful, friendly and peaceful village. The views over the valley are stunning. The kitchen has a lot of the basics many other properties do not have - spices, oils, teas, tinfoil, etc., which we appreciated. Be prepared for several flights of stairs - good exercise after eating out in the lovely restaurants! We would definitely visit again.
We had fond memories of our previous stay in this lovely house a few years ago and I'm glad to say our return visit in August was just as enjoyable. The house is perfectly located on the lower part of the village for an easy stroll to the shops, restaurants and bars and car parking is easier than for houses located further into the village. The house is spotlessly clean and furnished with everything you need for your comfort. Throw in the wonderful view over the campo from the terrace and you've got one helluva holiday experience.
A fantastic stay as always, love this house and Gaucin, wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Great
Like living in a Hobbit house, just so cute & accommodating.
The property was clean and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house is nicely decorated and the views from the balcony and sun terrace were outstanding. There are 4 floors in the house so would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues, otherwise I cannot praise Casa Mihrab highly enough. We had a lovely stay in Gaucin.
Well presented and well-equipped. The (soft) double bed and balcony views from the top floor were standouts in this accommodation. This property extends to 4 levels so a lot of steps involved. Great week, would come back again. Gaucin is a great destination for a relaxing holiday.
We ended up staying here at short notice when our previous property was cancelled at the last minute. We are all so delighted that this happened, what a find!! Great little property, lovely terrace and a delightfully cool bedroom to sleep in during the hot July nights. We are returning to the Casa Mihrab next year and frankly for years to come!!

We loved the village of Gaucin and this house!
The previous reviews are accurate....the house is spacious, nicely furnished, a perfect place to relax and read after touring or hiking. I can't say enough for the views from the terrace....breathtaking. As we sat out the first night, gazing at the stars, we could hear goats or sheep in the hills around us. Linens are excellent quality and the house was spotless. Fun little resturants and bars around the town. This is a get away from it all kind of place. We loved it.

lovely traditional spanish house in a fantastic location.
We have recently returned from this lovely house in Gaucin and would recommend it, very well situated in the village with wonderful views from the roof terrace.
We had a very relaxing week, enjoyed reading several books from the great selection on the first floor, there are lots of little bars and restaurants very close by and we enjoyed eating out at Azulete in the square and el at'ico just along from the house.
The house has four floors and lots of character, our favourite floor was the top floor on which we spent many an evening enjoying a glass of wine enjoying the view and listening to the swallows and swifts as they swooped and dived across the terrace.
Our least favourite part of the house was the basement which is where we slept, it was very clean and had a great bathroom and was very cool however it had a damp/ musty smell and on the first night I actually thought the bed was damp (it was not) The room improved as the week went on, we continually left the windows open and let the air circulate and by the end of the week the smell had gone. Perhaps the house had not been occupied before our stay.
We have stayed many times in the village over the years, always choosing somewhere different to rent and would recommend this property, it is a great base in which to stay and enjoy the beautiful countryside, it is within easy reach of Ronda, the coast and many pueblos blancos.

Lovely Gaucin House
We stayed here in the week leading up to Easter. The house is located in the centre of Gaucin a few minutes walk from all the bars and restaurants including a bar that provides free WiFi just 50m down the road.
The house is arranged over four floors with a lovely bright and airy lounge on the top floor opening via sliding glass doors onto a roof terrace with fantastic views over Gaucin and off towards the Rock of Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast. It was lovely sitting here watching the swifts and eagles fly overhead.
The house is furnished and designed in a traditional style and is very well looked after and clean, there are a good supply of magazines and books as well as local information.
Gaucin is lovely, full of history and character and plenty of small tapas bars and restaurants to choose from, almost every winding street seems to reveal a couple that you won't have spotted before. There are numerous walks in the local area and a climb up to the castle is recommended.
Further afield you are 90 minutes from Malaga and its airport and we travelled to Ronda in less than 45 minutes as well as Tarifa and the nearby Roman ruins in the south. Seville and the other highlights of Andalusia are achievable in a day or for a stop over if you want to take more time.
Booking was straight forward and friendly and the guy who met us to give us a key and house tour was very friendly and helpful with useful local knowledge on where to eat etc.
It is worth noting that the open staircases would not make this property suitable for anyone with very young children or mobility issues but for anyone else I can recommend Casa Mihrab without hesitation. We'll be back!
Casa Mihrab is an absolute gem in an idyllic location.
Casa Mihrab has everything you need for the perfect relaxing holiday. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the basement bedroom had the most calming spa like feel, a lovely place to rest after a hot day.
The icing on the cake for us was the upstairs living area looking out to the Village and Mountains. I curled up on the comfy sofa looking out at the breathtaking scenery listening to Flamenco, bliss!
A perfect delightful village house.
What a cosy little house - perfect for a truly relaxing holiday!
The house is ideally located, in the centre of a beautiful "white village" in the Andaldusian mountains. Restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance and the kitchen is well-equipped, so you can decide between eating in and going out. Sitting on the roof terrace, sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the fantastic views was heavenly. What we loved most was that the village did not feel touristy at all, despite being only 30 minutes from the coast.
We loved every minute of our stay. HIghly recommended!
It is a very pleasant house! You really live in the center of the beautiful village. The beds are good and the house is cosy, well furnitured.
Beautiful view from the terrace upstairs.
We were very happy in the house and we did have a beautiful week there!
One little thing is that we would like to have the possibility to make some shade on the upper terrace.
The house is adequately furnished but as it is not airconditioned, it gets warm at night and there are many mosquitoes and insects. We get quite few nasty bites that cause itch that last couple of days. Thus be sure to bring mosquitoes repellent or oilment when you are staying during the summer.
We recently had a fantastic holiday at Casa Mirab! It is a beautiful home that is well equipped with a cosy and homely feel about it. The interior is typically Spanish and the views from the roof terrace are to die for! We found that the view changed every day or we would notice something different to look at. It is truly mesmerising. The upper sitting room was where we spend the most time, it had a lovely cosy feel about it. The location is fantastic as it is very central and local amenities are only a walk away. Would definitely recommend this property! A wonderful place to stay.
Just returned from a stay at this house and loved it. The interior is gorgeous, beautifully and tastefully furnished, and the location is perfect - only a short walk from the centre of the village, yet just far away enough to be peaceful. The views from the rooftop are mesmerising and watching the swallows swoop and dive in the early morning light was one of my favourite times of day. The village itself is very pretty and there are several bars and restaurants within a short stroll from the house.
