Quick check


Once an olive farm, then the sanctuary of a great pianist who drew inspiration here, and now it is our home, rustic and totally authentic. Located by the national park, on a ridge, from where the view is breathtaking. The uninterrupted panorama of the Mediterranean Sea, the Tajeda Mountains, olive orchards and avocado plantations spreads before your eyes. Over the years, El Jardin has grown in splendour. We restored it with love for the history and style of the region, using stone, warm terracotta and old wood. Thick walls and hand-painted tiles are the quintessence of local Mudejar architecture. The house hides many beautiful corners. A library with an interesting collection of books, a music room with a high ceiling for good acoustics, a wonderful panorama outside the window and a piano that remembers the pianist owner. Three separate apartments for 3 families or one large team. And our favorite place: Cordoba Patio, where, among exotic plants and the sound of water, sipping Rioja, you will discover the essence of Spain.

Traveling, we have always been drawn to side paths, lost settlements and olive groves, far from the hustle and bustle of cities. We peeked through the walls and fences to swallow a bit of truth, the soul. Today we do not remember numerous dinners in restaurants, but the taste of pomegranate, which we ate with my grandmother in a black dress, on her porch, will stay with us forever. El Jardin is what we've been chasing all our lives. We no longer have to timidly peek through the shutters, we have everything that restless senses were looking for. If you want to taste oranges from our orchard, lemons straight from the tree, munch almonds in the shade of a ficus, lie half a day by the pool, listen to Spanish classics on black vinyl, we invite you. If you want to prepare Paella, pickle olives and taste Sangirije, come by. If you want to feel the warmth of the Andalusian sun, take a siesta on the terrace that smells of terracotta and herbs, pack your bags.

How do I get there?

Car

  • Our address: La Palmera 136, Torrox, Andalusia, Spain

  • You have to have a car to reach us. El Jardin is situated between two white villages, Frigiliana and Torrox. We are in Campo - that means in the countryside with well spaced neighboring houses. There is good privacy here, but not seclusion. Driving from Malaga airport, about an hour on the highway, you will reach the beautiful white village of Frigiliana. There is a local road from here that meanders among villas and orchards. On the way breath taking landscape impresses. After 14 minutes of stunning views and undoubtedly a few photos taken, you will reach a rather narrow gravel road. From here, 3 minutes down the road, you pass a few bends and a few houses and you are on the crest of the ridge beneath El Jardin. Any car driven by an experienced driver will reach us. On the last 3 minutes the road is narrow and you have to bear in mind that other drivers may come from the opposite direction.

Other rules

  • El Jardin is an old historic house, if it is looked after it will pay you back with a wonderful vacation. Water in the Spanish countryside is relatively cheap, but limited. The water tanks are refilled once a week. Together we try to respect water. If we use up specified water limit, we may end up left without it. The garden and the pool are supervised by the gardener Mr. Rafael, he is an elderly man and if he is unable to help us due to the heat, we will water the garden together and take the leaves out of the pool with a net on a stick.

    Unfortunately, the garbage truck does not come to the Spanish campo, so every morning, when going to the beach, for a trip or for shopping, please take your segregated rubbish and throw it into the municipal garbage cans. They are located on the main road. If you forget about it, when you return your kitchen will turn into a zoo, there will be ants and other bugs. Bonfires and garden grilling are strictly forbidden in summer. If you smoke, all butts must end their lives in a jar of water. Andalusia is struggling with extreme drought and wild fires are a big threat here.

    We respect the curfew and the siesta time. In the common areas, i.e. in the garden, library and pool area, we show respect for other guests. So we do not swear, we do not make noise above the norm. We help each other in case of trouble.

    Rules by the pool:
    El Jardin is our family home, not a hotel. There are rules like in any Spanish house with a swimming pool. When using the swimming pool, please remember that glassware, such as glasses or plates, is absolutely not allowed at the swimming pool. Each kitchen has plastic cutlery, plates and cups for use by the pool. In case someone accidentally breaks the glass by the water, it is necessary to close the pool and filter all the water, it will take several days.

    There is a shower by the pool, we rinse ourselves and the children each time we enter the water. Young children must wear a pool nappy. Together, we take care of it and keep good order at the pool, we do not leave wet towels, sunbeds and clothes anywhere, we clean up children's toys and snack plates.

    Everyone knows, of course, that we do not sunbathe and bathe topless or naked in front of other guests, including children.

    We never leave children unattended near the swimming pool.

    Thank you for respecting our rules and for your understanding. We wish you a pleasant stay.

Miejsce wyjątkowe, jak sama Gospodyni. Miejsce nas zachwyciło, czuliśmy się 'jak u siebie'. Fantastyczne widoki, Andaluzja w pigułce :) Ogród Właścicielki - wszystko co zechcesz - dynie, figi, kaki, papaje, oliwki, karambole, kiwi :0 Jedna z największych zalet - brak telewizji i wi-fi, poza tym za darmochę piekne widoki, przyroda, 'przytulasy' Dasher'a :)

Przygoda zbyt szybko minęła ...:( To był wspaniale spędzony czas i wykorzystany prawie na maksa, nie udało się nam bowiem zaliczyć zaplanowanej przez Agnieszkę wycieczki z powodu wichury, która postanowiła nawiedzić nas w nocy :) Swoją drogą to przeżycia w jej trakcie domknęły tylko w całość nasze wakacje. Aga, Olgierd i Teo to ludzie mega otwarci i pomocni, a wręcz niezbędni dla takich podróżnik...

Miejsce tak magiczne i klimatyczne, że chciałoby się zostać dłużej. Dom jest przepiękny! W naszym apartamencie duży taras był największym atutem , a z niego przecudowny widok. Wokół domu mogliśmy podziwiać urzekający ogród. Agnieszka świetnie się nami zaopiekowała, za co pięknie dziękujemy. To bardzo pomocna i życzliwa gospodyni. Mamy nadzieję, że będziemy mogli spotkać się ponownie 🙂

Trudno znaleść słowa opisujące to miejsce - po prostu trzeba przyjechać. 1. Piękny andaluzyjski dom już od progu przenosi Ciebie do Hiszpanii. Cudne widoki z domu na Morze i góry. 2. Właściciele nie tylko mili i pomocni. Zawsze znajdą czas na kawę z Tobą. Zanim wyjedźcie podpytajcie Age o wycieczki, jakie dla Was może zorganizować jako przewodnik - my polecamy kąpiel w wodospadach Rio verde. 3. O...

Miejsce, które człowiek zapamiętuje do końca życia. Niebywały relaks, niezwykłe widoki, świetni ludzie i ciekawe historie – tak w skrócie można opisać pobyt w El Jardin. Jednak to tylko duży skrót. Jako para wynajmowaliśmy apartament Alhambra i był to dla nas najlepszy wybór. Poranne obrazki z przygotowywania śniadań i wieczornego gotowania kolacji na tarasie, z którego można podziwiać góry, białe...

Slowhop zadał mi pytanie ,,Jak było w El Jardin?" Trudno napisać o tym miejscu BYŁO. Tu się jest myślami, wspomnieniam, ciałem. Chyba nie ma osoby, która nie chciałaby tam być? Po odwiedzeniu wielu miejsc na świecie już wiem gdzie chciałbym wrócić? Myślałem, że to się nie zdarzy a jednak :-) Lał deszcz a było pięknie.Było zimno a było ,,gorąco". Dlaczego? Bo jest tu Rodzina , która przyciąga, zach...

Dom z duszą i niesamowitą atmosferą, którą zawdzięcza zawsze pomocnej właścicielce - Agnieszce. Mieliśmy przyjemność spędzić wakacje w karminowym El Alcazar. Cudownie klimatyczny apartament z pięknym widokiem z przestronnego tarasu. Apartament, oprócz tarasu, składa się z salonu z wygodną kuchnią oraz sypialni połączonej z łazienką. Dzieci (jeżeli są :) ) śpią w salonie, rodzice w sypialni albo......

Pobyt oceniamy bardzo dobrze. Piekny apartament z widokiem na może i góry. Ładny i zadbany basen. Gospodyni przesympatyczna i pomocna (dzięki Agnieszka za świeże figi z ogrodu😘). Okolica naprawdę urocza - mnóstwo rzeczy do zobaczenia, przyjazne plaże. Do takich miejsc warto wracać ❤️
