If you could award more than 5 stars I would! Steph and Terry first welcomed us to their Spanish oasis over 10 years ago. We are now regulars with two trips booked for 2022 already. The houses have everything you will ever need and if not Steph and Terry will have it. They have thought of everything. The houses are Spanish style and the pool area is simply outstanding. It’s setting allows you to enjoy the wildlife whilst being just a short drive from the town and beach. I thoroughly recommend Steph and Terrys, for a short break, your ‘two week summer holiday’ or a longer winter stay. I’ve stayed on my own and felt completely safe and relaxed, right up to the other end of the scale, with a group of 17 family and friends. I can’t speak highly enough of Cortijo La Calera! Catriona

We’re a couple, visiting in April wanting to escape the busy city life, for which this place is perfect. It’s beautiful and quiet, the surroundings are amazing and there are several long and short hikes nearby. The place is super nice and had all we need; private terrace, swimming pool, bbq, indoor fire place, and stunning views. Steph and Terry are wonderful hosts, always available but also respectful of your privacy. Their continuous effort to keep the garden and property in top shape really shows. We would definitely recommend this place.

It’s my 2nd stay at Steph & Terry’s property, I can clearly say that it is a piece of heaven on earth! It is perfect for a  peaceful rest in the middle of the nature and away from any stress. Steph & Terry are the perfect hosts, very reactive, caring and available whenever needed. The property was perfectly clean and fully equipped. They also made everything ready for our late arrival so we could find a warm interior and bed. We will definitely come back!

We had a lovely time in this charming apartment. Everything is there, nothing missing that you need on the material level and to discover the surroundings. Terry and Steph are adorable and delighted to share their good plans! Stayed an extra two days. We want to return again to find the calm, and beauty of the place. Everything is thought of to have a real relaxing and tranquil time! Thank you!!!!

It was a marvellous time spending our holiday with Steph and Tierry. Really, the most beautiful place to stay. Everything is arranged and the responding is quick and secure if you need anything. The house is a dream to stay in and the views magnificent. I highly recommend this place!!! Wish I could stay longer.

Thank you for a lovely stay! We were really looking for a rural retreat to calm down and this is the perfect place. It’s location is spot on and we did a lot of excursions to nearby attractions inc. Alhambra, Granada , Ronda , Camino del Rey, Malaga, Comares as well as some lovely beaches. Steph and Terry are very attentive and always there to help, at the same time as respecting your privacy. We felt very welcome from the start and throughout our stay. We would love to come back

Very nice spot in lovely nature. We liked the calmness and peacefulness of the place and relaxed right away. 20 mins car drive to sandy beaches,50 min’s from Malaga and the airport. The stay gave us all that we wanted: city: touristic: shopping: beach: chill and countryside sensations from the pool and garden views. Thank you for a great stay.

We had a lovely time in the charming apartment. Everything is here,nothing missing you may need.

of the place.Everything is thought of to enable a real relaxing and tranquil time! Thank You!

Steph and Terry are very nice hosts, helpful in every situation. We spent wonderful holidays in their lovely apartment. It’s perfect for everybody who loves to have a relaxing time.

A fantastic place for a relaxing getaway! The apartment Casita Buho Real has a really nice authentic Spanish countryside vibe, very charming. Nice facilities with multiple terraces, barbecue & big inviting swimming pool. The view of the surrounding landscape is stunning. Steph and Terry are great hosts, very helpful. Highly recommendable!

We enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful stay in the lovely and very tidy Casita Buho Real situated within beautiful surrounding gardens. Steph and Terry are very good hosts and always there to help. We can highly recommend La Calera, the apartment and the location and will be back soon.

We enjoyed everything about our stay in the mezzanine, which is small but very adequate for two.
The collection of three places available for letting has been planned to provide each with its own secluded sitting space outdoors, as well as common use of the pool area. The rural setting is a delight, and the garden is beautifully planted up and well maintained. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The hosts could not be more helpful, considerate and informative. They have worked very hard to create a really good place to stay.

We decided to stay away from the busy Malaga and came across with this lovely and peaceful place. My partner and I rented an apartment which was actually a small house with a very cosy living room, charming bedroom, suitable bathroom and our own terrace in the garden area. The garden is very well looked after and it has swimming pool to share with the other guests
although each house had its own terrace so you have plenty of privacy. You need your own vehicle to get to restaurants or shops but there are a few minutes drive away or you can ask Steph to get some shopping for you in advance! Steph and Terry were very helpful all the way through with directions, suggestions or walking literature. I truly recommend this place if you look to explore “los pueblos blancos” of Malaga and staying in a quiet place only 20km away from the beach.

We’ve had an amazing time at Stephanie and Terry’s finca. The little casita was exactly – and maybe even better – than described or shown on pictures. We loved the fact that we had our privacy (two private terraces), but Stephanie and Terry are extremely open for contact. The communication before starting our trip was very pleasant and Stephanie was quick with answers and responses. During our stay we could easily reach out to our hosts if we needed anything – like help driving our little Panda up the drive way – or a guide to a specific restaurant or store. The surroundings of the finca, all the plants and flowers and the amazing pool made our stay complete. We would absolutely recommend this place and we hope to get back to this lovely place one day. Thank you so much dear Stephanie and Terry!

Sad to be leaving. Perfect week away with our 3 month old baby.

Thank you for everything! It’s an amazing place. Great hosts.

This place is exactly what I wanted – peaceful and beautiful. Steph and Terry are perfect, relaxed hosts and very thoughtful to ensure your stay is comfortable.

We are absolutely in love with Steph and Terry’s place! Everything was perfect, so here’s our top 5 of our stay: 1. The house itself (VERY clean and has a lot of charm). 2. The pool. 3. The peace and quiet (great escape from the city!) 4. The location. The mountains and the views are just amazing! 5. Last but definitely not least: Steph and Terry, the cats and dogs, and also the other guests. We could not have enjoyed it more and we’ll definitely come back!
