Escape to Andalusia's hidden gem, Cortijo Viejo. Discover luxurious villas, warm hospitality & endless sunshine in this Spanish haven.
Cortijo Viejo is a charming town in southern Spain that offers an authentic Andalusian experience. When you stay in one of our villas, you'll be immersed in the region's rich history and culture, from the Moorish architecture to the vibrant flamenco music. Our villas provide the perfect base to explore the surrounding countryside, visit ancient towns and villages, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing break or an action-packed adventure, Cortijo Viejo has something for everyone. The region is home to some of Spain's most beautiful beaches, where you can soak up the sun, swim in the Mediterranean, and enjoy water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. Alternatively, explore the rolling hills, forests, and valleys on horseback or by bike, or take a leisurely hike through the countryside to discover hidden gems. And when you return to your villa, relax in style with a glass of wine or a cocktail, and enjoy delicious local cuisine that showcases the region's famous olive oil, seafood, and tapas.
Cortijo Viejo enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters. The best time to visit for a villa holiday is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant, with average highs around 22°C/72°F and lows of 12°C/54°F. These periods are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and exploring the countryside, without the intense heat of summer.
If you're looking for a more relaxed experience, winter (December-February) might be the perfect time for you. The temperature drops to around 10°C/50°F, but the region takes on a magical quality, with festive markets, candlelit dinners, and cozy nights by the fire. And if you're a fan of sunshine, summer (June-August) is still a great option, although it can get hot, especially in July and August. Make sure to pack accordingly and take advantage of the outdoor pools and cooling amenities at your villa to stay comfortable during the warmer months. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Cortijo Viejo's charm remains unchanged throughout the year.
Cortijo Viejo's charm lies not only in its picturesque countryside but also in its proximity to some of Andalusia's most exciting destinations. For those seeking a vibrant nightlife, Marbella is just a short drive away, with its famous Puerto Banus marina, trendy bars, and world-class restaurants. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more relaxed pace, the tranquil town of Benahavis offers quiet walks, scenic views, and some of the region's best golf courses.
However, Cortijo Viejo itself has plenty to offer, with its own charming old town, historic church, and bustling market days. The nearby Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park is a haven for nature lovers, with hiking trails, waterfalls, and picturesque villages to explore. And when it comes to dining, you'll find an array of excellent restaurants serving local cuisine, from traditional tapas bars to Michelin-starred eateries. Whether you're looking for a lively holiday or a peaceful retreat, Cortijo Viejo's unique blend of rural charm and urban amenities makes it the perfect destination for your villa holiday.
