Our family (wife, 3 daughters & myself) had a wonderful time in Monte Clara. It's a lovely little house in a peaceful & beautiful setting, & in a great location with beaches, Malaga, & various other interesting places all within a 35 minute drive through amazing scenery.
Julian & Lisa were great. Julian came regularly to clean the pool & check everything was ok. A couple of lightbulbs went during our stay, & when we told him about it he went straight to the local shop & came back to change them.
Both were very friendly & personable. They have great knowledge about the area & restaurants etc, & we always enjoyed our conversations with them.
Riogordo can be seen from the terraces & is only a few minutes drive away & is a lovely little Andalusian town with friendly locals, a small supermarket, petrol station, & a few nice & very reasonable restaurants & bars.
Perched on the hill behind Riogordo & a short & stunning drive further is Comares - one of the highest towns in Andalusia - a beautiful little very old Moorish town with cobbled pedestrianised streets full of character & with breathtaking views over the surrounding area.
Monte Clara has plenty of Spanish character, & we enjoyed some lovely tranquil days there making the most of the pool, views, & barbecue. The pool is a decent size for a family, & we managed to teach our youngest daughters to swim in it, so for this reason & many others I'm sure Monte Clara is a place we'll always remember fondly.
