Poblado del Pantano, 29320 El Chorro, Spain –

The location was perfect! Can free swim in the lake a short walk below the property. View from second floor is breathtaking. You can drive to the lakes with ease, very close to La Isla for a day out. Easy drive to Caminito Del Rey. Lots of nice restaurants a little drive away. The hosts are lovely, the little book and welcome pack on arrival was sweet and very informative about the local area. Definitely recommend doing a big shop in a local supermarket before you arrive. Peaceful, secluded, beautiful piece of paradise.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We loved the location, the upstairs apartments have a priceless view. Comfortable, spotlessly clean and perfect spot for exploring the area.

Lack of windows. Quite stuffy. Had to leave the door open at night with a suitcase jammed against it to get some air in the room.
Beautiful setting. Lakes are gorgeous. Truly peaceful. Large patio.

There is no air con (which we knew) but the description just says ‘fan’. Was not aware it was only a ceiling fan - which didn’t work very well (it span too slow to do much to the air) and was noisy (made little thuds while spinning). If it was a stand up fan at the end of the bed or a decent working ceiling fan this would have been much better. This was the only thing that bothered us for the whole stay.

“A little piece of paradise”

With there being no air-conditioning, presumably because the electricity supply was from solar panels (with the property being so remote), it would have been good to have had mosquito nets over the doors & windows, or at least over the bed. Due to the summer heat it was necessary to have the windows open in the evening, which invariably led to insects being drawn in by the interior lights.
Although the apartment was not huge and not equipped to the standard of a 5-star hotel, it was exactly what we expected from the description on the internet, and very reasonably priced for what it was. The location, far from the madding crowd, was idyllic. It was wonderful to sit out on the terrace as the sun set across the lake, with nothing but the sound of the water lapping against the lake shore and the birds singing their evening songs. And if you did want to go out in the evening, there were a couple of bars/restaurants within around 5 minutes' drive, and the quaint little town of Campillos is only a 20-25 minute drive away. It was a fantastic place for a truly relaxing break amongst the fabulous scenery of rural Andalusia, ideally placed roughly centrally between Seville & Granada and Ronda & Córdoba, and only minutes from the entrance to the Caminito del Rey. Other trip options are the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra with its flamingoes, the Lubo Park with its wolves, El Torcal national park and Antequera. We cannot recommend El Finca El Arpa highly enough. Add it to your bucket list! (Note that due to the remoteness of the property you do need to hire a car.)
