Casa Limones & Los Olivos

Lovely traditional Spanish-style cottages surrounded by a beautiful mountain landscape. Enjoy the peaceful, relaxing environment, dip into the pool whenever you wish. We never tire of being here. Being close to the coast there are so many places you can reach from here. Anywhere from Nerja to Marbella and Estepona is within easy reach, even Gibraltar and Granada aren't too far away. Plenty of inland destinations to visit, too such as Mijas Pueblo, which is just up the road, Ronda and Antequera to name just three. We find it the perfect place to stay or use as a base for travelling.

We stayed in Los Olivos for a week in mid June...oasis of calm, with jaw dropping scenery, amazing cacti, very nice and discreet host and a great base to explore beaches and mountain towns of Andalusia, aided by Maureen's (owner) experiences. This place summed up "special" for me - exactly why Sawdays is my first go to for holidays. Inside it is very tastefully and authentically decorated and everything we wanted for comfort was there. The biggest challenge was leaving the place and its very comfortable bed. You need a car/motorbike to stay here as there is no village in walking distance.

After a working lifetime as expats and having had the privilege of living in and visiting many gorgeous places worldwide, we find we keep coming back to stay at Maureens beautiful cottages in the mountains. latterly we have progressed to twice a year for a month at a time whilst ‘working from home’. Peace and tranquility descends upon us almost as soon as we arrive. We can quite honestly say, it has to be one of our favourite destinations. The warm welcome from Maureen (and Bobby) is wonderful. spoilt for choice for places to go, we always seem to run out of time. Most highly recommended!

We have just spent an idyllic week at Casa Limones. The weather was perfect for us, low to high 20s and we ate most of our meals outdoors. The pool is a real bonus and is surrounded by a beautiful garden and views to die for! Maureen was a delightful host and very helpful. We hired a car and explored the surrounding countryside every day, returning to watch the sun go down and relaxing with a glass of wine on the terrace. This was our first visit to Spain and we hope to return to Casa Limones in the near future. Highly recommend this beautiful place for a relaxing holiday.
