Location
Finca Sandia is located just 18 minutes from the historic town of Ronda, a Mediterranean jewel. Ronda, with its Celtic, Tartessian, Phoenician, Greek, Carthaginian, Roman and Arab roots, is today a modern commercial and service centre, extraordinarily well connected to the rest of the world. The proximity of major Andalusian cities such as Seville, Jerez and Malaga, with their international airports, means that the property is easily accessible via an excellent road and rail network. However, a car is recommended for exploring the surrounding area.
When we arrived our jaws hit the floor, and that was at night! By morning we were in awe all over again. Gorgeous countryside backdrop, lovely touches and a really comfortable feeling of home/retreat. Diana and Andy are wonderful, their warm and friendly nature made our stay even more delightful. The set up is especially great for groups as you spend time together in the main house, garden or by the pool before heading off to your private cottage for a peaceful night (loved star gazing before bed from own little terrace!)
Thank you so much for having us - we’ll be back!
