"We are so glad we
came back again!...
...boy, did we relax! It
has been like a retreat, in the most beautiful, peaceful
and lovely surroundings...
...We love the views, the
peace and the cottage itself. Many thanks again for your
hospitality and care."
Linda and John (Pinner,

"We have had the most
wonderful stay here and it certainly exceeded our expectations.
It was so much more than stated on the web site.
To the service from Wendy
and Steve, we can only say “Wow!!”
Perfect hosts and they
will do everything to make you happy here…..
…. Wendy supplied
us with the best jam we have ever tasted, the best paté
and a perfect tiramisu…..
….We had big plans
before we came here to visit Cordoba, Granada, Seville and
so on but we found out that the real joy was right here
at Al-Queria…. ….we explored the beautiful garden
and took many photos of plants flowers insects and wildlife,
the adventure was right here at our feet.
Wendy and Steve, thank
you so much for a super stay here at your hilltop paradise…"
Dennis and Berit (Copenhagen,

Nick and Lesley (West

"We loved our stay
here !
Our maiden voyage to Spain was better than we had imagined.
The house was beautiful and very well thought out. I noticed
the attention to detail, the kitchen was well fitted, the
bed was soft and comfortable and the décor was beautiful.
The quiet was wonderful,
the views lovely and the pool just right.
We will be back….
Thank you for all your
hospitality and help"
Cheri and Kris Wilke (Seattle,
U.S.A.) July 2011
"It really is “the
end of the world” 
So quiet and so peaceful.
Especially the early mornings with the fresh wind from the
valley"
Thea and Hardy Smit (Bemmel,
Holland) June/July 2011
"We both wanted to
say that this has been the most relaxing holiday we have
ever had !
The cottage is both cute
and stylish. The gardens are tranquil and the perfect place
to enjoy a glass of Rioja come sunset.
Steve and Wendy, welcomed
us, informed us and were always on hand for those little
extras that make Al-Queria unforgettable"
Sarah and Chris (Saltaire,
England) May/June 2011
"The weather was not
very kind to us! But we rather enjoyed the thunder claps
and down-pours and cosy evenings in, with the wood stove
burning, watching DVDs.
Weather aside, a lovely
location with some good walking.
The cottage is extremely
comfortable and if (like us) you enjoy cooking, the kitchen
lacks for nothing and possibly the best we have enjoyed
(in particular the supply of herbs, spices, etc. which is
a nice touch).
Many thanks Wendy and Steve
for your kind hospitality"
Wayne and Ellen (Nuneaton,
England) April 2011
"A wonderfully relaxing
week……
….visiting the major
sights of the area was easy from here, as well as the less
known. Spectacular views from roads, some of which are dirt
tracks – be brave….
Thank you Wendy and Steve
for your advice and your warm welcome.
A place to be recommended"
Jill and Bryan (Northumberland,
England) September 2010
"We have thoroughly
enjoyed our stay and enjoyed especially the garden, the
pool and the views. Thank you for your Córdoba directions
which made the trip trouble free"
Chris and Marilyn (Nottingham,
England) September 2010
"We came here as quite
stressed out teachers and day by day, we could feel the
stress just draining away, until we became the most relaxed
and de-stressed and chilled out, we possibly could be !
Good for the soul !"
Linda and John (Pinner,
England) August 2010
"We had 12 wonderful
days of honeymoon at your beautiful cottage"
Mel and Rod (Cheltenham,
England) July 2010
"Als je voor rust
gaat, dan is Al-Queria het adres. Het huisje, midden tussen
de olijfgaarden gelegen, is een kleine oase. De eigenaars
zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam en zorgen dat het
je aan niets ontbreekt. Nog nooit zijn wij een appartment
of huisje tegengekomen dat zo volledig uitgerust is en
waar je gelijk thuis bent. Je hoeft geen kruiden, etc
te kopen/mee te nemen. Alles is er. Zelfs koffie en thee.
En ben je shampoo en/of badgel vergeten? Geen punt: dat
is er ook. En wat wij zelf heel belangrijk vinden: het
is er schoon en sfeervol.
Al-Queria ligt daarnaast
ook nog eens strategisch gelegen tussen Granada, Cordoba,
Ronda and Malaga/de kust. Plaatsen die men gezien moet
hebben. Maar ook de kleinere dorpen en bezienswaardigheden
in de directe omgeving zijn de moeite meer dan waard.
Kortom: een absolute
aanrader voor zowel de mens die rust zoekt als de mens
die erop uit wil trekken."
Tamara en Douglas (Halsteren,
Netherlands) March 2010
"Al-Queria was the
perfect place for us to start 2010 and spend our "baby
moon" before life becomes more hectic.
The cottage is the perfect
size and well equipped for spending time indoors when
the weather isn't cooperating."
Mona and Spencer (Cambridge,
England) January 2010
"We have had a great
time here. The weather has been truly beautiful.
The cottage is the best
presented and equipped self catering accommodation we have
ever stayed in.
You truly understand what
holiday makers require."
Trudie and Steve (Shropshire,
England) October 2009
"After a hectic
year, we enjoyed the silence and serenity of Al-Queria.
The comfortable and
tastefully decorated cottage felt like a real home for
us. Steve & Wendy, thanks a lot for your superb hospitality.
You both really understand
what guests wish for"
Michiel and Eefje (Oss,
Netherland) October 2009
"We've had a wonderful
time here, warm welcome, beautiful cottage, wonderful environment
and views.
Good, simple walk from
the house was wonderful."
Marian and Lia (Rotterdam,
Netherlands) September 2009
Quote from Lia ~ "This
is paradise"
"We’ve had a
truly wonderful week here enjoying the peace and calm and
exploring the area.
The cottage is a real
gem – stylish and comfortable with everything you
might need. Thanks Wendy and Steve for creating such a haven
and for your hospitality and advice which has made this
week so special.
Highlights include our
walk along the Ruta de los Molinos (with swim in rock pool),
eating superb meal at Piola’s (Algarinejo), visit
to Mezquita, Cordoba and sipping drinks here on the terrace
as the sun goes down"
Anne and Ian (Cambridge,
England) August 2009
"Had a lovely week
in this charming and cosy cottage. Wendy and Steve did a
great job and we felt so welcome.
Made some lovely walks.
Area is wonderful and I felt sorry that there was also work
to do. Hardly time to stay at "home" and enjoy
the view and the silence.
Wendy and Steve, thanks
for your hospitality"
