Looking down from El Nobo’s swimming pool is akin to the gods looking down from Mount Olympus onto paradise

The view from El Nobo across the vast campo de Gibraltar to far off Morocco is awe-inspiring. Perched on a rocky hillside just outside the pretty village of Gaucin, El Nobo was once a humble farm building. Now it's a magnificent Andalucian cortijo built around a Moorish-style courtyard leading to a glorious terraced garden and a spectacular swimming pool. From here the surrounding lawns melt into wild flower meadows, a tennis court and 11 acres of almond and citrus orchards. Sally and Tuffy von Meister have created a flamboyant and stylish home combining English antiques, chintz, Andalucian and Moroccan furnishings with great taste (El Nobo frequently appears on the pages of glossy interiors magazines).

Stay in one of the two rooms in the main house or for extra privacy, the spacious suite in the Casita. If you prefer to self-cater, an adjacent cottage and secluded villa are available for weekly rental. During the summer they also rent out the whole of El Nobo on an exclusive basis. Whichever, it will be memorable and makes an ideal base for hiking and exploring Andalucia's white villages and the unspoilt beaches of the Costa de la Luz.
