If Gaucin, the balcony of the Sierras was to have a balcony…

Welcome to El Refugio

If Gaucin, The Balcony of the Sierras, was to have a balcony it would be El Refugio. This unique 2 bedroom villa is perfectly situated just 200 meters outside of the village, below the historic castle and down a private driveway. Surrounded by nature, El Refugio offers all the tranquility and privacy of the countryside, with the convenience and charm of one of Andalucía’s most idyllic villages a mere 5 minutes’ walk away. Sweeping views look out over the Genal River Valley, Sierra Cristalina, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean and Morocco. Here is a place to slow the heartbeat , to breathe deeply and relax.

Guest Reviews

Not having line-hung clothes in decades of city life, we took special delight in the sweet freshness the local breeze gave ours on the day after arrival. We soon began to ponder cashing in our new-build Palm Spring home and moving to Gaucin. All the accolades on the previous pages ring true. J and E have created a wonder. The views, the air, the quiet, and birdlife, the garden, the childhood-evoking path to town, and the thoughtful design all conspired to prevent us from getting in our car and driving anywhere. Don’t miss Azulete or Platero & Co, although the flavors and feel of the village are wonderful as a whole. With sincere gratitude…may we meet again,

What a great holiday! If you’re about to stay congratulations! If your Jonas and Elizabeth even bigger congratulations!! You have created a beautiful and comfortable home that we have loved being able to enjoy for a week. Will miss those views and all the bird life to watch. We even got to see a few bats at dusk. For future guests, we enjoyed meals at La Teberna del Zorro (very tasty chipirones) and at el Pajeulo (friendly service and good gambas pil pil) I don’t think you can go wrong in Gaucin. We hope to be back. And next time must try to leave some artwork in here too! Many thanks, J and E, for your great hospitality,
