A comfortable country house situated in the Natural Park, Sierra de Grazalema.

A comfortable country house situated in the Natural Park, Sierra de Grazalema.
Betania has been recently renovated to a very high standard to create a superb family home in one of the most beautiful valleys, la ribera de Gaidovar, in the area.
Beautiful house, recently restored, in one of the most beautiful valleys of the Sierra de Cádiz: La Ribera del Gaidovar, 3km. from the village of Grazalema. Offering off road private parking

It is designed to enjoy the immense nature that surrounds it with large windows and doors opening onto the patio and porch and is set in extensive grounds with olive trees and sheep, boarded by the river Gaidovar
On the ground floor, , a large open space has been created, where you will find a practical kitchen with all the utensils and high quality appliances, the dining area and two living rooms facing east and west. And a downstairs washroom with wc.

The first floor consists of three double bedrooms, with beautiful views. Two bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and there is a third bathroom of the hallway. There is a laundry room with washing machine/dryer, iron and ironing board
The house is very comfortable, cheerful and quiet, cool in summer and equipped for winter days with underfloor heating and wood burning fireplaces.
Outside, there is a patio facing the river, with several flower beds and aromatic plants where you can enjoy views of the surrounding countryside. This is connected to the second patio, with a porch and a large table for outdoor dining. It has a fountain made with an old millstone and access to the parking area.
We have installed a small pool 3m x 3m x 1.1m to cool off during the summer months, it offers spectacular views of the valley and is available from 15th May until 15th September.

The Betania is ideal for couples, group of friends or families.

The Area
La Ribera del Gaidovar is an historical enclave, nestled in the Natural Park and close to the town of Grazalema. For centuries, the flour mills and olive oil mills of the Ribera of this river have been operating, when the area was quite populated and there were still rural schools. At the end of the 20th century, the activity of the last mill of Ribera ceased. Other buildings that can be seen in the valley are small farms and bodegas, ( the area was a major wine producer up to the end of the 19 century).
Grazalema is a beautiful and small white village of the Sierra de Cadiz, which retains much of its architecture and traditional ways of life. It is located in a privileged enclave within the Natural Park with a diverse fauna and flora and unforgettable landscapes. A small town, with an original architecture very well preserved and very interesting anthropologically, such as the Toro de Cuerda in July, or the historical recreation of "Los Bandoleros", near the end of September.
The gastronomy, very natural, is based on local products, Payoyo cheese being one of the best in Spain, the Iberian pig raised in freedom, pata negra, as well as the consumption of game, partridge, deer, rabbit and so on.
Of interest are the ecological oils and wines made in the mills and nearby wineries and the leather work that is made in the neighbouring town of Ubrique.

Activities
In winter the snow arrives to Grazalema for a couple of days and it creates a beautiful white landscape. Autumn and spring are the best times to hike through the numerous routes that link the white villages. There are specialized companies for horse riding, hang-gliding or cycling. Archaeological, oenological and gastronomic visits can also be made. In summer the nights are cheerful and fresh with numerous terraces open until well into the night. There are many places to swim and refresh, the Municipal Pool, Arroyo Molino, El Pantano, not to mention the nearby coast of Malaga and Cadiz. There is also a growing interest in cycling and in one of the nearby villages one can hire good quality touring and mountain bikes
How to get around
We have four airports nearby: Malaga, Seville, Gibraltar and Jerez de la Frontera
Grazalema is only 30kms from Ronda, a monumental and romantic town, whose visit is obligatory and in its surrounding area are small wineries of the most sought-after wines of the Sierra. There are two daily buses to Malaga that pass through Ronda.
Seville, Cadiz and Malaga, are approximately 2 hours away. By car.
The centuries-old wineries of Jerez de la Frontera and its famous Andalusian Horses are only an hour away.

Beautiful Grazalema
Amazing experience, wish we never had to leave. Just a note, the pin on the map on the VRBO site takes you to a place several KM away… make sure you open the PDF that is sent to you with the exact directions and GPS coordinates.

Wonderful Place to Stay
Over the years we have stayed at many places throughout Europe. La Betania without a doubt is the finest. The view from the Terasse is nothing short of spectacular. The kitchen is very well equipped (knives were sharp!),,.. the beds are very comfortable. The scenery in the park and the surrounding area is simply beautiful. There are many hiking trails to enjoy within a short drive. If you like to cycle and didn’t bring your bike you can rent a bike from Grazalema Cycling Adventures. The owners Juan and Ana are both avid cyclists and will take you out on a tour of the area. I went on a 100K ride with Juan including 2000M of climbing on back roads where we had the roads and the views all to ourselves. Stay here you will not be disappointed!,,,

Mixed
A well renovated very clean well managed property containing everything one required. Unfortunately we were only able to use the outside space for about 3 hours during the week we stayed due to relentless mosqiutoe attacks, this may be due to the time of year (June) but may also be due to a small stream which is 10 meters from the back of the house. Spending 99% of our time inside the house with the windows and doors shut wasn't really what we wanted. Getting a car into the driveway also becomes tiring after a few days. One has to either drive past along a narrow unmade track and reverse in or drive past turn around and drive in. Leaving is either a very tight 3 point turn or turn around further down the narrow track. We had an estate car which certainly didn't help, a very small car will be better suited but you'll still beed to go through the same process to get in/out. The plunge water pool was too green for us even after a visit from the chap that maintains it.

Betania is a real gem, tucked away in the beautiful countryside of the Grazalema National Park
We feel very fortunate to have found this elegant and totally relaxing property tucked away in the most beautiful countryside of the Grazalema National Park. Everything was easy for us right from the beginning, from the booking to the finely tuned description of how to get there, etc. The house itself has a very generous and light feel, taking into account the specific character of the Andaluzian countryside. We were impressed with all the facilities provided, especially how well equipped the kitchen was, and all five of us instantly felt at home. Betania is the perfect base for walking, rock climbing or for simply exploring the Natural Park and its friendly villages. The house is a real gem which we would highly recommend and would love to return to.

El lugar perfecto para disfrutar de un entorno increíble, desconectar del día a día y descansar plácidamente. La Betania es una preciosa casa rehabilitada con mucho gusto y sencillez (el libro con las fotos de la rehabilitación sorprende) Sin duda es un lugar para volver todo el rato. ¡Muchísimas gracias por hacerlo todo fácil y sencillo, Jack! Ha sido todo estupendo. ¡Hasta pronto Betania!

Heerlijk huis in prachtige omgeving
Zeer comfortabele, ruime en compleet ingerichte woning voor max. 6 personen. Drie ruime slaapkamers met goede bedden en drie badkamers met inloopdouche. Prachtige omgeving. Zwembad is heel klein maar door het koele weer konden we het toch niet gebruiken.

Una casa fantástica, con un entorno increible y perfectamente acondicionada
La casa está nueva, realmente amplia, en perfectas condiciones y con todo lo necesario. El sistema de calefacción hace que sea confortable incluso en las noches de más frío en la sierra. El entorno es precioso y muy cerquita de Grazalema. Jack es un encanto, super atento y todo lo que le preguntamos nos repondió al instante. Si duda recomendable. Nosotros seguro que volveremos.

Paz y tranquilidad
Hemos pasado uno días muy tranquilos. La casa es muy acogedora y no le falta detalle, sólo le recomendaría al propietario que tuviera una variedad de almohadas de distinto tipo, no solo almohadas muy blandas. Nos ha faltado alguna excursión por hacer, así que es probable que repitamos.
