Nos encantó, el entorno, la recuperación de lo antiguo y el cuidado y trato a los caballos.

I have just returned form an idyllic stay in the secret garden apartment (El jardin secreto) I was with my daughter and granddaughter, the 3 of us comfortably fitting into the air-conditioned bedroom, and making full use of the kitchen area that was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, including cooker & microwave. There is a comfy sofa, clean bath/shower room and a wonderful dining veranda with a beautiful mountain view. Within this private space, there is also our own plunge pool, perfect for cooling off after sunbathing on the sun loungers, or you can doze on the hammock in the shade.
Clive and June are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble and they happily share their wealth of local knowledge about places to visit and things to do. Horse riding, local walks, the fabulous pool area, peaceful courtyard, and their menagerie of friendly animals are all part of this rural retreat experience not to be missed. I keep returning to this little piece of paradise as it is such great value for money - and it soothes my soul.
Until next time.....

My boyfriend and I stayed for a week in July 2024 in this paradise. We stayed in the cozy "El Stablo", where there was plenty of space.

We had our own wonderful terrace and in addition to it there was also a fantastic shared terrace. The shared pool was clean and refreshing.

Everything on site is clean, neat and well maintained.

We loved the place's five cats, two dogs, horses and chickens. Bella the cat stole our hearts.

There was a lovely restaurant a short walk through the olive grove.

June and Clive were lovely hosts and we will look forward to coming back and visiting their place another time.

We spent a wonderful week on holiday at Cortijo Los Lobos this August. The cottage, El Establo, was perfect for our family of 4 and had amazing views. The gardens and pool area were beautiful and our children aged 9 and 13 loved the friendly animals and spent hours in the pool. We were made to feel very welcome by the family and we appreciated their local knowledge of places to see and restaurants to visit. Overall, we had a fabulous week enjoying our time by the pool and out exploring the local area (El Torcal and lake Iznajar were our highlights) .

Had another fantastic holiday with my family at June and Clive’s wonderful home in April 2024. It was our third holiday there and I love it more each time.
Their hospitality is second to none, the environment is so relaxing. We really didn’t want to go home.
On this trip we had a wonderful picnic ride after a horse agility session in the morning.
I can’t wait for our next trip, there is still so much I want to see and do and of course relax!
Thank you June, Clive and Lilly for another wonderful time. 🐴❤️🥰

This was my 3rd visit so it now really does feel like going to stay with friends! Fantastic location and accommodation. We also had some lovely meals cooked by June and Clive which added to the overall feeling of being with friends. My previous visits were horse centred but this time it was more the walking that made us want to revisit. However my partner did try riding for the first time and enjoyed the experience very much. All in all it was a lovely, stress free week away. We were lucky enough to stay in 2 different cottages which suited our needs and the weather!! June made sure that we had the best holiday we could even though the weather let us down a bit. We still have a lot more exploring to do in the area as we have barely scratched the surface of what the area has to offer. Can't wait for our next visit to our Spanish home from home. Much love to Clive and June and all the animals. Thanks again for a lovely holiday and I hope that you have a cracking season - you certainly deserve it! Xxx

Unfortunately was not a pleasant experience, the place was too small to fit three people, no space for the luggage, too hot without AC, no curtains, no shutters. We had to search for a hotel to move to be able to sleep and no refund was accepted. Cleanliness average 3.

I attended a two day horse agility course here from May 21st to 23rd 2023.
The course, with Ellen Cochrane a champion and judge with the International Horse Agility Club, was excellent, just as I'd expected it to be. The itinerary was followed and took us gradually from complete beginners to completing a course of obstacles in a fun competition with rosettes for all. Ellen is a very good natural teacher and
I highly recommend this course to all horse lovers of all ages and abilities.

Cortijo los Lobos is a charming place set in gorgeous countryside with a very relaxing atmosphere and June and Clive are lovely, attentive and friendly hosts.
The accommodation was perfect - spotless and very comfortable. (I want that bed and lovely soft mattress!) As this was a course, I shared a two bedroom split level cottage with two nice friendly Irish ladies, which was fun, with no problems at all as there's plenty of room to be alone or enjoy the company.
We had plenty of food - bread, eggs, cheese, jam, etc - in the cottage kitchen for breakfasts and lunches (just ask if you'd like anything else to be provided) and a delicious three course evening meal with wine/beer - June is an excellent cook and provided meals for both the meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans.
The horses and other animals are really well cared for and it was a joy to spend time with them.
My short visit was perfect and I hope to be able to return again for a longer stay sometime.
