El Nobo is a vert special place. Sited on the hillside below Gaucin, the views down to Gibraltar are spectacular. If you can reserve La Herradura, the free-standing villa with its own pool, then you should. It is spacious, stylish and completely charming. The owner, Sally von Meister, seems to know every restaurant within 50 miles, and her recommendations for... More

We stayed for a few days, the weather was amazing which meant we were sunbathing and using the pool which has gorgeous views to Africa. The breakfast was top notch as the owner is a good cook. Drinks and tapas in the evening were inviting and delicious and any information we required on the surrounding area was freely and enthusiastically... More

This small establishment has many high points and one or two lows. Don't pick this location if you want to go to the beach - it's a long way and the roads are twisty. We didn't want beach, and felt that the highs far outweighed the lows. As other reviewers have said, the location has unparalleled views across to Morocco,... More

El Nobo does have a wonderful view, that's true. The road getting their is a bit of adventure, but that's well-documented. Upon arriving, we were show our room, but never given any tour of the place. We did not know where to get a drink, breakfast etc. Our room didn't have a key. Overall, the service was very disappointing. Other... More

Stayed for one night on the way back to Malaga airport. The location of the house is outstanding with superb views of Andalucia as far as Gibraltar. It's a very relaxing place to stay and unwind, especially by the side of the infinity pool with its stunning views. Our room was very large but a bit chintzy - we weren't... More

I spent two weeks at El Nobo in early March and was so taken with the house that I have decided to write my first ever trip advisor recomendation. I rent houses on the continent all the time and it's so rare that you find a place perfect - but this one is. Everything about this place is spot on.... More

Wonderful stay, but not long enough! We had booked for a night at El Nobo, but when we arrived late at night found we had been transferred into the villa. What luck! Private with a stunning view. Lovely, spacious and homely feeling. Great balcony, and facilities. Nice touches and details. Our hosts had even provisionally booked a table at the... More
