Cortijo La Almazara

The villa

Cortijo La Almazara is a restored 19th - century Andalusian farmhouse located just outside Ronda, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and lavender fields. Carefully restored by architect Stefano Robotti, a collaborator of Philippe Starck, the cortijo combines the character of traditional rural architecture with a clean, minimalist interior style. With five bedrooms and views across the Serranía de Ronda, the property offers a private setting designed for relaxation and connection with the surrounding landscape.

The outdoor spaces are an important part of the experience. A swimming pool sits among the olive trees, while a spacious 150 m² porch and terrace provides several seating areas with views across the estate and towards the Sierra de Grazalema. Guests can enjoy meals outdoors, take in the surrounding scenery or simply unwind in the peaceful countryside. The property sits within a 26 - hectare estate, with access to olive groves, an organic vineyard, gardens and walking trails.

Cortijo La Almazara also offers opportunities to experience the culture of the estate itself. Guests can visit La Almazara, designed by Philippe Starck, to learn about organic olive oil production, explore the museum and take part in guided tastings.

The nearby town of Ronda is one of Andalusia’s most historic destinations, known for its remarkable setting and historic landmarks, including the famous Puente Nuevo bridge, which spans the deep gorge dividing the old and new parts of the town. Visitors can wander through narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings, discover traditional plazas, visit the historic bullring or enjoy the many viewpoints overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Beyond Ronda, the cortijo sits within the wider landscape of the Serranía de Ronda, a mountainous region defined by rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and natural parks. This area is known for its scenic drives, walking routes and traditional villages scattered throughout the countryside. The nearby Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, visible from the property, offers dramatic limestone landscapes and protected natural environments that attract hikers and nature lovers.
