The Experience
The problem with holidaying with young children is that few places answer your needs and theirs. This is different: Lorna and Lee’s 16-acre farm in the southern hills is a fabulous place for family holidays, or for couples wanting more privacy and taking both spaces together. The two purpose-built and simply styled cottages each have their own terrace, Netflix on the TVs, barbecue and great views.
The pool has a shallow area for kids, and toys, cots and baby gadgets galore, there’s a big suntrap terrace, a purpose-built play area, giant patio chess, table tennis and loads more. Join your thoughtful hosts for paella night once a week, and they are also happy to provide free babysitting for an evening during your stay, ferrying you to and from your chosen restaurant.
Lorna can do all sorts of relaxing beauty therapies; golf and fishing can be arranged nearby.

Wonderful rural Spain at its best! Very well equipped accomodation is set around a beautiful swimming pool up in the hills with amazing 360' views! Great for families and couples who crave sunshine away from the tourists in complete privacy! Short drive down to local bars and restaurants with excellent local Spanish cuisine! Alternatively buy your own and bbq beside the pool! Cannot recommend this place more as it's simply gorgeous and the English owners go above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best ever! Loved it & will be back next year if they will have us! Highly recomended!

Wow, what can I say. Just had an amazing week staying at Cortijo Jacaranda. Lee and Lorna couldn't have been more accommodating. The Cassita was immaculate and very comfortable, had everything I needed and more! Such a peaceful location with easy access (by car) to the local towns. Went to a great Tapas restaurant recommended by Lorna nearby and did not disappoint. However, I highly recommend the paella night as cooked by Lee, absolutely delicious. I cannot rave about this accommodation enough, so much so that I've already booked to return next year.

Cortijo Jacaranda and the charming Casita Mimosa where we stayed was just perfect for us and our little boy of 5. The place itself was immaculately kept, a gorgeous pool and individual BBQ areas plus the informal bar area and giant chess board made it easy to just laze around happily enjoying the tranquility and wonderful views. Lorna and Lee and family were really accommodating and helpful plus the night off that we had in the local restaurant while Lorna babysat was a real bonus. Lots to do in the local area but essential to drive. Had a brilliant time would thoroughly recommend.

Location
The neighbourhood
You are a 15-minute drive to the nearest small town, Pizarra, which has a cracking gastro bar, Los Pacheco and a good tapas bar at the train station. From here you can get a train to Málaga for a day out without the hassle of parking your car. Visit the famous Caminito del Rey, swim in lakes, paddle board or kayak. The nearest beach is 45 minutes, Ronda is one hour.
Local points of interest from Lee & Lorna Rickwood
- Nestled in the hills between the beautiful white villages of Alora and Pizarra. Cortijo Jacarandas rural location allows you escape the stress of everyday life by relaxing round the pool, admiring the amazing sunsets and adoring the breathtaking views.
- Whilst staying at Cortijo Jacaranda you can not only relax but not too far away there are a wide range of activities available ranging from golf, sea fishing and skiing to hiking and birdwatching.
- Take the train to Malaga, which is a lovely city to explore. It offers an abundance of history such as the Cathedral and Alcazaba. A wander around Malaga's new port is highly recommended. A hive of activity with bars, restaurants, shops and much more.
- The spectacular "Camino del Rey" suspended above El Chorro Gorge is only 40 minutes away. You can swim or take out a pedalo on the beautiful lakes at El Chorro. The historical towns of Ronda, Antequerra and Granada are easily reached by car.

Introducing
Lee & Lorna Rickwood
Lorna and husband Lee left Kent some 17 years ago and bought the Cortijo as a going concern. Lorna is a trained beautician and offers her guests manicures and pedicures as well as lifts, babysitting and general good cheer.
Another fabulous two weeks at Cortijo Jacaranda. So relaxing and perfect for small kids. Booked for next year before we left! Lorna and her family are absolutely lovely (and kind and patient!) and the setting couldn't be more ideal if you are looking for a peaceful holiday (even!) with kids.
