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.

We had a lovely stay in Mimosa cottage for a week in August. The cottages are compact but pretty and immaculate throughout. Very well equipped with thoughtful things like board games and books. The kitchen had everything you needed and the gas bbq was brilliant and made catering easy. The pool was designed perfectly for a 3 year old and 7 year old swimming ability. The children also loved the play equipment and the resident donkeys. The location in up in the hills so a 15 minute drive to the nearest town but once down there is lots to do in the area. Peaceful and relaxed - we loved it.

It is a rarity to achieve, but I have just managed to have a lovely relaxing holiday with my four very young children at Cortijo Jacaranda. The setting is stunning, the Casitas are lovely and have everything you could possibly need, even for young children, the pool is the cleanest private pool I've ever seen and the perfect temp. The little ones could all stand up in the little pool and the big pool was deep enough for adults to dive into. Just perfect. Highly recommended, we have been home for a week and have already booked again for next year! Ps Lorna is lovely and a great host :)

We had a great stay in one of the casitas at Cortijo Jacaranda. Nice and quiet location away from the busier coast but near enough to get to the beach easily. We also got into Malaga on a slightly cloudier day very quickly too. Hosts were very welcoming and provided equipment for our young daughter so we could travel light. Good swimming pool and children's swings, slide and sandpit too. Very relaxing!

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.
The most relaxing holiday I've had for a long time- I didn't want to leave. To be able to cook whilst watching the kids in the pool is amazing. So clean, with everything you need. We love the seclusion whilst only being 30min from Malaga. Some lovely local towns and things to do. The lakes were great. Great hills for running, stunning views and a brilliant pool and kids area. Lorna and lee were very helpful but gave us our space. We recommend going to the market before the supermarket for amazing local veg. I've never gone back to a holiday cottage twice but this one I just might!
