Casa del Lago apodada "El Castillo"
About
Nestled in the heart of Andalusia, Casa del Lago, affectionately nicknamed "El Castillo," is a haven of peace in Guillena, where time seems to stretch under the southern sun. This region, renowned for its picturesque landscapes and cultural richness, welcomes you with rolling hills and endless olive groves. Here, the air is filled with the scents of citrus and the whispers of age-old traditions.
At "El Castillo," every stone tells a story. Designed to host large groups, the house offers generous space for everyone to enjoy a convivial stay. With several comfortably furnished rooms, the house can accommodate up to ten people without compromising space. Modern amenities meet old-world charm; multiple Wi-Fi repeaters ensure smooth connectivity for those wishing to share their moments with the outside world, while the library and game rooms offer a return to simpler pleasures.
The exterior of the house is just as enchanting. Imagine yourself sipping a glass of local wine by the heated pool, a luxury praised by many visitors. The carefully tended gardens invite relaxation and escapism, and for nature lovers, the nearby lake offers peaceful sunset walks.
However, like any grand dame, "El Castillo" has its quirks. Some visitors have mentioned the numerous stairs leading to the pool and some concerns about the state of the furniture. Price adjustments have also been a point of discussion, but the magic of the place often transcends these minor inconveniences.
The memories you take away from Casa del Lago are imbued with Andalusian warmth: laughter shared around a barbecue, twilight walks along the lake, and the ineffable feeling of having discovered a hidden paradise. A stay here is not just a break from the everyday; it's an invitation to savor Andalusian life in all its authentic splendor.

This is our third time renting the house. It's fully equipped and has several Wi-Fi repeaters. The house is huge; we usually have about 10 people and we all fit comfortably. It has several outdoor areas with wonderful views, the pool is fantastic in the summer, and the fireplace is amazing in the winter. We'd like to thank Maria Jesús, the owner, who is incredibly kind and attentive to every detail. We've never had any problems with her booking dates or payments. We will definitely be back to enjoy more time there.

The furniture is in very poor condition. The beds are uncomfortable. They have cameras recording you. There are too many stairs and ramps to get from the pool to the house. The price increased by 35% between 2022 and 2023. The change of ownership hasn't been good for this rural house. Adding three fans to the bedrooms doesn't justify such a price increase. They've replaced the barbecue grill, leaving one that's rusty and not recommended for cooking. They claim the beds are new, but they're at least as old as the first time I stayed there. Regarding the pool, the previous owner was attentive to his guests and cleaned it every two or three days. Mentioning as improvements sheets and towels we didn't use and a table with a 1.5 cm thick panel is quite presumptuous of them. Regarding the dogs, there's one large and one medium-sized one, and you can't expect me to leave my companions outside after seeing rats near the garbage containers and cats everywhere (they even came inside the house). Improve and actually invest in the property; you can't live off the good reviews Alejandro had before you arrived. You should change your name and start the reviews from scratch so you don't mislead tenants. Best regards.

Everything was great and beautiful, the house was very welcoming, the heated pool was a real plus for a dip at night, the area was very quiet, and the lake was right next door for walks. However, if you plan to stay for many nights, the double bed is a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Un lugar muy acogedor con vistas increíbles. La casa está muy limpia y tiene todas las comodidades para que la estancia sea perfecta. Es muy amplia, tanto el interior como el exterior, cuenta con muchas zonas para relajarse. Es un sitio muy tranquilo en el que se puede desconectar y en el que solo se escucha la naturaleza. La atención muy buena. 10/10, volveremos a repetir sin duda.

A fantastic house. It had everything. A garden with a great pool and relaxation areas. All the rooms had air conditioning, which was much appreciated in the middle of August. We will definitely be back.
