Casa Polin is a characteristic rustic cottage, set in the stunning and tranquil Andalucian countryside. It is fully refurbished as a detached cottage to accommodate 2 / 3 persons for self-catering or Bed & Breakfast. It has a traditional style, which will let you enjoy very comfortable holidays. The cottage is extremely spacious and of high quality, within its extensive grounds which include a large swimming pool set in the olive grove and outstanding views of the surrounding Serrania of Ronda. Ronda is reached by car within 15 minutes. Ronda is one of the oldest towns of Spain, famous for culture, shopping, music, restaurants and its many "tapa" bars scattered throughout the town. To Jerez, where an airport is situated, you drive about 90 minutes. The same is with Seville and Málaga. It is one hour to the beaches of Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz. A drive to Córdoba will take you 2 hours, to Granada 2.5 hours. In our valley you will find a very calm area for total relaxation.
