With Ann helping me with all kinds of stuffs, including digging the hole to plant bulbs, watering garden, weeding the flowers, and cooking apple crumbles and pumpkin soup!, I slowly seemed to get the hang of them, like A to Z. Sometime along the way, or much later, probably, I kinda realized that I had this prejudice over labor-jobs (even though Ann quite didn't agree that it was anywhere near manual labor, but certainly I felt it so!), and I'm so grateful I could have this chance to recogniz...

A great holiday . Two weeks of Anns care and meeting lots of very nice people. Anns Very relaxed atmosphere. Lots of places to visit and lots of local walks etc, you must go on Sues herb walk and also the bird watching walk.After a day sightseeing a dip in the pool followed with one of Anns fine meals is a must. The views from La Casa De... is breath taking. My husband and I are retired but there are plenty of suitable walks and things to do. A visit to Lanarron town . Have a drink in the Ge...

Here's the review from a young italian long term traveller! I planned to stay in Lanjaron no more than 2 weeks, been working at the beautiful and idyllic ranch of Caballo Blanco, then had the good fortune to have an exchange at LA CASA DEL VIENTO where I eventually decided that I couldnt leave too soon!
So here I am, after other three weeks in Lanjaron, writing about one of my best volunteering experience ever! LA CASA DEL VIENTO is a really different place respect any other accomodations pla... Continue reading ...

This was my third trip to Spain to stay with Anne whilst cycling in the area with ToroLocoSpain. The set-up could not be much better: quiet, relaxing, great food, great views, and an awesome freshwater swimming pool. Anne's hospitality cannot be faulted, I hope to return again soon.

I am due to marry in 5 weeks from now and my bridesmaids organised a Hen weekend to remember. A total suprise I was told on the thursday night that at 9 am the next morning 8 of us would be flying out to Andalucia to ride for the weekend! Ali, Jane, Ann and Sarah looked after us fantastically!
Extremely welcoming and friendly they taxied us from the airport up a steep winding mountain road to our perfectly spanish accomodation. The next day it was the ride...4 of us embarked on a 4 hour trek... Continue reading ...

By sheer accident we finished up at Anns place-how lucky is that. Ann greets you like long lost friends, couldn't be more welcoming. We stayed for a weeks walking (which also included mountaineering although we didn't know that at the time) in Oct.2009. At the end of a hard day it was lovely to come back to the pool and bar ! Ann will probably remember us best as the couple who took four hours trying to find her place on returning from the tapas bars of Lanjaron. Even though she had left her ... Continue reading ...

What with all the rain lately its been a bit difficult to get out on the bikes but surprisingly the trails havnt suffered too badly and are mostly in good condition with the odd bit of mountain slipoage to clamber over and certaimly no snow is affecting the trails at all.
with great warm and cosy fires in the cottages when we get back its a lovely season to be out in the fresh air and enjoying the benefits of our southerly location .
Thankfully ann has kept on top of any small problems that a ... Continue reading ...

Hi Ann,

Had a lovely stay here for 5 days and 6 nights in late September. Ann was very welcoming, and provided huge amounts of scrummy local food and wine. And she could not have been more helpful with local information, recommendations for tapas bars, and helping us organise our riding up the road at Caballo Blanco. Finally the views from the cottages were stunning- as an aspiring photogrpaher Brendan was in heaven. All good and highly recommended! Continue reading ...

We had a wonderful, lazy and perfect Alpujarran 10 day break in July, and are still talking about it. Our dream of a rustic rural Andalucian holiday was perfectly accommodated by staying in 'La Rosa', and we spent almost every evening sitting on our terrace after tapas, watching the sun go down over the hills and Lanjaron lights come on like fairy lights on a Christmas tree. Mesmerising! Anne has a piece of paradise here, and is the perfect hostess. Continue reading ...

Hi Ann and all the wwoofers - We both wanted to say a big thanks to you all for giving us such a wonderful holiday. Ann you are so welcoming and made us both feel at ease immediately. The food was fantastic as was the views. Laura very sad to leave and I imagine she will turn up on your doorstep as a worker one day. Will remember the dancing in the square and the day to day saga of scruffy. Hope to visit you again one day. With love Haylie and Laura Continue reading ...
