Rural Housing Monte las Viñas

Between the limestone hills of the Serranía de Ronda and centuries-old olive trees, Benaoján holds onto that quiet charm of Andalusian villages mass tourism has not yet erased. Here, on a hillside, Rural Housing Monte las Viñas takes root — a former cortijo carefully restored, where dry stone walls and lime-whitened vaults converse with fully renovated spaces designed to welcome large groups without sacrificing comfort.

The house first captivates with its authentically rural lines, then with the sheer scope of what it offers. Three fully equipped kitchens allow meals to be organized with complete freedom, whether you are a large blended family or a group of friends coming to unwind for several days. The pool — spacious and well-maintained, as visitors unanimously note — establishes itself as the heart of outdoor life, surrounded by a chill-out area where mild evenings naturally stretch on. The views over the surrounding massif and the vines that gave the property its name add depth to the picture.

Inside, a dedicated games room — ping-pong table, pool table — ensures no one gets bored, even on days when the thermometer drives everyone into the shade. Children find a playground perfectly suited to them; adults set their own pace between leisurely rest and exploring the surrounding area.

Because the surroundings are full of reasons to venture out: the prehistoric Pileta cave, literally at the foot of the village, opens onto fifteen thousand years of cave paintings. Ronda and its famous Tajo gorge is just twenty minutes away. Every evening you return with an appetite and stories to tell.

What do groups take with them when they leave? The rare feeling of having truly inhabited a place rather than simply passing through it. The memory of an aperitif that turned into an impromptu dinner, of a sunset over the vines, of laughter that echoed long after the last dive into the pool. Monte las Viñas cannot be summed up — it has to be relived.
