El Barco is a hidden retreat and is situated in the peaceful location of Cantarrijan National Park amid citrus and avocado groves. This pretty house is furnished in typical Andalucian style with colourful decor and interior, whilst outside, the well placed terrace and unusual shaped pool boast panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. The pretty marina resort of La Herradura is just over 7 km away which offers a selection of restaurants and bars although a few local restuarants can be found closer by.

Resort: Cantarrijan in Andalucia
Set in the province of Granada on the Costa Tropical, Cantarrijan sits within an area of national park which enjoys fabulous views across the countryside and out to sea. Here you’ll find a few local restaurants, while La Herradura can be reached within a 15 minute drive, offering restaurants, bars and shops as well as a beautiful sandy beach. To reach the majority of our properties, you have to drive off the beaten track along unsurfaced mountain tracks where you’ll get a real away-from-it-all feeling. When you take in the stunning views from your villa it will make a few bumps entirely worthwhile.

recommends this villaMs Williams, barry, September 2011
"i've just returned from el barco.. it was truly amazing. absolutely spotless and very pretty. the area was as described in the mountains and very peaceful indeed. we had a power cut on the seconde day from 4pm until the following morning around 4am. we had torches so that was fine. the garden was beautiful and in fact did a bit of weeding and watering. i would gladly have given up my job and moved in permenantly, obviously if i'd won the lottery. i really couldn't find any fault with the villa or the holiday. everything from the flights to car hire ran like clockwork... i hope to return next year :-) "

"El Barco provided the perfect location for our needs. I work away from home all week living in hotels. so a villa was perfect.
My only comment would be due to it's location it would not suit a family or someone who does not wish to drive much. El Barco is located half way up a mountain. Good views though.
Great holiday. "

"Thought the villa would make an excellent place to stay in the summer. It would be nice to have the option of being able to heat the pool in winter as the pool was too cold to use. "
