Finca Las Cerezas

“I’m on the top of the world looking down on creation “sang Karen Carpenter in the 1970’s and that is the best way I can describe the views from Las Cerezas. Throughout the day the folds of the mountains change with the light, until darkness falls and the coastal town which they seem to guard, sparkles like a precious, diamond tiara.
At sporadic intervals chalk- white villas peek from beneath trees clustered like broccoli florets.
Wildlife abounds here; vultures circle the air in flocks trying to pinpoint their hideous fodder, a solitary eagle glides effortlessly overhead whilst all around is stillness and silence. The tranquillity is broken only by the barks of dogs who try to compete for their status.
The wind comes in sudden bursts scuttling leaves and pollen across the slated ground.
Later in the afternoon the jingle of bells can be heard and the shouts of their herder trying to gather his charges “aqui, aqui, aqui….” Las cabras descend; all colours, sizes and ages preceded by the dog who dives into the neighbours swimming pool oblivious to the residents. Rebellion breaks out; a tan coloured male scales a rock and refuses to leave; three youngsters climb an olive tree to snack and a tiny kid shrieks in panic as he loses his mother. Eventually order is restored and the motley crew continue their descent.
Two skinny cats emerge from the undergrowth whom we have nicknamed Ginger George and Tabitha. They feast on the remains of last night’s dinner, chicken and jamon. From then on, they are regular visitors, morn and night.
As night falls the barks of dogs echo across the valley until they too tire and the mountain falls silent.
A visit to Las Cerezas surpasses all expectations. Whilst outside you are transported to a more peaceful age, with beautiful plants; agaves, bottle brush, and cypresses surrounding the swimming pool. Inside the finca there is every modern comfort including: all kitchen appliances, two bathrooms; Wi Fi and satellite TV. All is beautifully presentedt; it simply an exquisite experience

Super locatie met uitzicht over de Sierra Bermeja en Estepona. Zeer privaat met goeie prijs voor heerlijke rustige vakantie in de natuur nabij Casares

Prachtig gelegen Finca, nabij restaurants en winkels. Helaas is het huis toe aan een complete renovatie. Meubels zijn versleten en smerig. In de keuken plakt alles van het vet. Onder de bedden ligt een dikke laag stof. Zo mooi als het uitzicht zo belabberd is de staat van de Finca.

Good things about Finca Las Cerezas:
The views

The pool

Bad things about Finca Las Cerezas:
Cleanliness is appalling

It's full of dust

The oven is dangerous as the thermostat is broken, it just gets hotter and hotter until it can't get hotter

Within 12 hours of being here I got an eye infection, I have never had one in my life before in nearly 4 decades.

We had to wash all the bedding to ensure it was clean as it didn't seem very clean.

Pillows are yellow

Suspicious hairs are inside the pillow cases, short and curly

the Barbeque has rotted away to the point the gas supply tubes are on fire.

Lampshades are dirty and what looks like mould growing on them

Master toilet smells of urine

I'm glad there's another review on here saying the same thing we are.

Quite simply the worst place we have ever stayed.

Yes we did contact the hosts and the local agent and they did nothing.

Belvilla by Oyo don't answer the phone, thankfully we booked via another method and they are super helpful
