Our stay was about as perfect as you could ask. The pictures actually don’t do it justice. We had 3 families, consisting of 6 kids (9 to 14) and 6 adults. The way the villa is laid out meant we all had space and privacy if you wanted some alone time. There were 2 kitchen’s and lots of places to eat, either together or apart. The pool and pool area were special and where we spent most of the time. The kids loved it. The pool was around 4 by 8 meters and some of us adults reverted to being children, often bombing the kids.
This villa is different in one big way…..it’s someone’s home, Peggy was lovely to deal with and checked in via phone before arrival. She was accommodating on our arrival times, gave us good instructions and presented a lovely home, that she is so lucky to have. Being a home meant everything you needed to have a great time was there, no blunt knives or plastic spatulas in the kitchens here.
The villa and land is wonderfully higgledy-piggledy which means you can sit by the stream, walk the tiered terraces or hideout in one of the rooms, all of which had en-suite and were clean and well presented.
Riogordo itself has restaurants, small supermarkets etc, but it’s all Spanish so you get to have fun trying to either speak Spanish or waving your hands. An easy 40 minute drive will have you in Malaga centre so very easy to explore.
Peggy only lets this villa out a few times a year so if you get the chance, snap her arm off you won’t be sorry. Thank you Peggy.
