When you are booking a holiday of course you want to know who you are dealing with.
Please allow us to introduce ourselves and show some photo’s of how the ruin was rebuild and how it developed since 2005.
Ramon and Esther are a Dutch couple that fell in love with the rural area of Axarquía, the Spanish people and the Andalusian way of living.
In 2005 they bought a ruin, renovated it, and over the years they turned into their holiday home.
How it all came together
This is a selection of photos taken over the years. They show the process of rebuilding the ruin, as well as the wonderful times we’ve shared with our guests, family, and friends. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the fun! We hope to add many more photos soon.
