My husband and I stayed in Casa Romero for our honeymoon, it was the perfect getaway, in a wonderful secluded location with fabulous hosts.
From the description of the property and the friendly contact from the host we had high hopes before arriving but every aspect of our stay completely exceeded our expectations. Although great photos on this site, they do not nearly do the villa and beautiful views justice, it was perfect in every way, spotlessly clean and so well equipped we could have just moved straight in!
The interior decor is well thought out with an excellent kitchen, additional utility room and beautiful cosy living room with separate dining area.
The outdoor space at Casa Romero is what really sold the place for us, acres of land with olive, almond and fig trees, completely sheltered and private without obstructing the magnificent views. The multiple dining areas mean that you can start your day with a coffee on the first floor terrace, brunch under the grape vines on the outdoor terrace, have dinner cooked on the BBQ and served under the lanterns on the main outdoor dining area then finish the day with a cocktail on the cosy seating area down by the pool.
The pool area is fantastic, compromising of a sheltered seating area, 6 loungers and an outdoor shower - our favourite part of the pool was after dark when it could be illuminated with different colours - becoming the party pool!
Although we didn't use the 'casita' next door, we agreed this would be perfect to share with friends or parents in the future to have the perfect level of privacy while still enjoying a holiday together.
Riogordo itself is a wonderful town, the locals are warm and friendly, the food and drink prices are very cheap and the fresh produce in the supermarkets is mouthwatering.
Bart, Peggy (and Luna!) were the perfect hosts, so friendly and accommodating but at the same time giving us the privacy we wanted as honeymooners, which we were very grateful for.
We have stayed in many villas across the globe but this one has by far topped any of the others, we would go back in a heartbeat and felt very sad leaving. We fully intend on returning in the future.
Thank you again to our wonderful hosts for putting the cherry on top of our perfect honeymoon.
