Sun, views, fun hosts, lovely horses and delicious food.
Cortijo el Chenil Caballos的点评
点评:Two horsey gals needing a break after the british winter. We were not disappointed with the location, accommodation and beautiful out riding on our two well behaved steeds, Ray and Poppy.
Darren was good fun, and very caring towards his 8 horses and Dave the mule who has a big personality. We wish Mia all the best with her new life in Spain joining the family business. Sarah was very helpful with local knowledge and could arrange taxis when needed ,served a yummy breakfast in the hills on our picnic ride and a delicious paella in the evening.
Evenings were relaxed on the patio around the pool, watching the sun set behind the mountains with a glass of wine and stroking one of the many sweet rescue dogs they have taken on.
Our only negative and this isnt really the owners fault as we used an agent to book through is that there is no public transport links near by. Usually i would hire a car however we were lead to believe that there were some buses and seeing as we thought 2 days would be riding why fork out for a car. As it happened we actually had quite a bit of spare time so did go off to the town of casarabonela (thanks Darren for the lift) , a rather pricey taxi ride to mijas pueblo but pretty town with boutique craft shops and a taxi to the train station in pizarra so we could go to malaga for the day. The train was super easy and only cost 3.50 each one way. Malaga was a nice day out, loads of food places, impressive cathedral, castillo, picasso museum and shopping.
Our 4night stay was just the break we needed and Sarah, Darren, Mia and Alfie should be very proud of what they've achieved after the dreaded C hit the tourist trade. We think the vision they have for Cortijo el Chenil is exciting and we look forward to seeing it progress in the next few years.
翻译:英国冬天过后,两匹马需要休息一下。我们对位置、住宿和骑着我们两匹乖巧的骏马 Ray 和 Poppy 的美丽外出并不感到失望。
达伦很有趣,非常关心他的 8 匹马和个性鲜明的骡子戴夫。我们希望 Mia 在西班牙的新生活中加入家族企业,一切顺利。莎拉对当地知识非常有帮助,可以在需要时安排出租车,在我们的野餐之旅中在山上提供美味的早餐,晚上提供美味的西班牙海鲜饭。
晚上在游泳池周围的露台上放松身心,一边喝着葡萄酒一边看着山后的夕阳,抚摸着他们收养的许多可爱的救援犬中的一只。
我们唯一的缺点是附近没有公共交通连接,因为我们使用代理预订,这并不是业主的错。通常我会租一辆车,但是我们被引导相信有一些公共汽车并且看到我们认为可以骑 2 天为什么要花钱买一辆车。碰巧的是,我们实际上有很多空闲时间,所以去了卡萨拉博内拉镇(感谢达伦的电梯),乘坐出租车前往米哈斯普韦布洛相当昂贵,但美丽的小镇有精品工艺品店和出租车到火车停在皮萨拉,这样我们就可以去马拉加玩一天了。火车超级方便,单程只需 3.50 美元。马拉加是美好的一天,有很多美食场所、令人印象深刻的大教堂、城堡、毕加索博物馆和购物场所。
我们的 4 晚住宿正是我们需要的休息时间,Sarah、Darren、Mia 和 Alfie 应该为他们在可怕的 C 袭击旅游业后取得的成就感到非常自豪。我们认为他们对 Cortijo el Chenil 的愿景令人兴奋,我们期待在未来几年看到它的进展。
