Review submitted by Michael and Deanise, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA. 15 October 2011
We had a wonderful stay at Poco Paraiso. The area is beautiful and easy for day trips to many historic areas. Be sure to see the Alhambra in Granada and the Mezquita in Cordoba. Unbelievable sights. Mary and Pete are excellent hosts and proved invaluable when our luggage was delayed. We have stayed in many holiday rentals and have never experienced such service. Priego is filled with surprises - museums, churches, the castle all worth seeing. For a great restaurant Meson de Tellar has excellent food, atmosphere and value.

We really enjoyed our stay at El Paraiso and had the most restful and relaxing holiday in a long while. Our hosts Mary and Pete were without doubt very very kind and attentive hosts. Mary´s cooking goodies were greatly appreciated and not forgetting Pete´s home grown veggies, excellent pool management and advice re routes to take when in and around Andalucia. We looked forward to Archie and Tina´s visits each day and we´ll miss them very much too. Thank you Mary, Pete, Archie and Tina Turner - Simply the Best.

Yet again we´ve had another fantastic holiday here at Poco Paraiso. Mary and Pete were great hosts, their kindness and hospitality was much appreciated. The goodies made by Mary were absolutely delicious - we were spoilt! This time round we took advantage of the hot sun and spent most of our time relaxing at the pool, we only really ventured out one day to the Castillo de la Mota at Alcala, well worth a visit.

Thank you Mary and Pete for a fantastic week. The rest and relaxation was exactly what we needed. Your welcome was great and so much appreciated. The home baking and other goodies were brilliant and we enjoyed every mouthfull. Wishing you both every happiness and success.

Our 3rd visit to Poco Paraiso and just as wonderful and relaxing. Two weeks of glorious sunshine, swimming and relaxing all made even more fantastic by the warmth, hospitality (and scrumptious goodies) of Mary and Peter. A real home from home where we can recharge and refresh. Thank you Mary and Peter for another great holiday. We´ll see you next year! In the mean time we wish you lots of success and happiness.

Weather beautiful and the atmosphere very
relaxing. We visited the Alhambra,
Cordoba, Priego and the Roman Villa at Almadenilla.
Many thanks to Pete and Mary for their kind

goodies throughout out stay, always around
to assist but never intrusive we have had
a lovely and restful holiday in your beautiful
villa.

When we arrived at our destination Mary and
Peter were there to greet us and were both
very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Our accomodation was spotless and the photo's did not do it justice - it is such a beautiful place and very homely. The sitting area was comfortable and the kitchen was spotless with everything needed for a self catering holiday. The bed was so comfortable I had the best nights sleep ever. I would recommend this holiday for anyone looking for something a bit more special and more tranquil than your normal holiday. There was a lovely courtyard where the sun shone every day and it was great to relax with a wine or two. Also the use of our own private pool was an added bonus. By the end of the holiday Mary and Peter were just like old friends and made us feel very at home. We will definately be back to this beautiful part of spain as the views were also spectacular. So hope to see you again soon Mary and Peter. Thanks for making our holiday so memorable. Review submitted by Vicky and Charlie Charlton,

We had a lovely week with great weather.
Places worth visiting are the Alhambra (a
must) Cordoba (definately) and more local
Alcala la Real (fantastic)! A big thank you
to Mary and Pete who have made us very welcome.
Great hosts, thanks for all the cakes drinks
and produce.

We left Paradise on the Gulf Coast of Florida
to find it again in this lovely part of Spain.
Begin with Mary and Pete then add the warmth
of these lovely folks and Mary´s baking.
Her cakes and some wine after dinner, delicious.
May each of you be refreshed and renewed
by your stay.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Poco Paraiso
and thank you for the cakes, crumbles
etc - beyond generous! We will always remember
the fabulous views from the pool garden.
You have a lovely place and you make perfect
hosts. We enjoyed staying here as a
base for discovering Cordoba, Granada and
Priego itself. All the best for the
future.

We had a fabulous stay at Poco Paraiso! Our
daily drives were glorious and tapas at local
spots delightful. Nothing, however
was as warming as your hospitality.
We will forever have the kindest thoughs
of you Mary and Pete.
Poco Paradisio - well named!

From the moment Mary and Pete beaconed us
onto their property we knew we were in good
hands. The photos so accurately show their
corner of paradise. The guest quarters are
new, well appointed, impeccably clean and
sunshine floods in from an entire wall of
windows. We arrived in late October and yet
the walled patio was balmy enough to enjoy.
You can close the patio for complete privacy,
but then you'd miss much of the charm
of this place. Many previous guests have
commented on the food supplies that Pete
and Mary leave for jet lagged guests. Truly,
this was so helpful, giving one time to settle
in before heading off to the market. And
yes, they were highlighted by Mary's
home baked treats featuring fruits from their
own garden. Deliciosa! If there are potential
guests out there whose Spanish is as tarnished
as ours, then do come! Nothing sounded quite
so lovely - and proved so helpful, as a bit
of Scots brogue to get us through our stay.
And their farewell in full Highland fig -
well, that was priceless. If you're searching
for a spot from which to explore the Priego,
Cordoba and Granada area, treat yourself
to Poco Paradisio. We so enjoyed our stay.

Without doubt we would recommend this property
to our friends. El Paraiso Encontro is in
a lovely, quiet setting and is a real find
for 2 people. We had a warm welcome from
the owners right from the beginning of our
stay and this continued with delicious home
baking from Mary and useful tips and advice
on the local area from Pete. The welcome
pack is more than generous and well thought
out. El Paraiso is clean and well maintained
and the pool looked inviting, although the
weather wasn't quite warm enough for
us to try it. We found the location of the
property ideal for touring, we managed to
visit Cordoba, Granada, Ronda and Baeza.
More locally, the Roman Villa at Almendenilla
is interesting and Priego de Cordoba is great
for wandering round the old quarter.
Would think a car is essential.
Review submitted by Bob from Perthshire (Submitted:

We had an extremely relaxing week at the
beginning of October. We used the well maintained
pool every day despite the lateness of the
season. The patio is very private and the
house is comfortable and spacious for two.
The location is good with the town a short
(but uphill!) walk away. The exercise is
certainly needed to work off the excellent
and very reasonable food and drink in the
bars and restaurants in the town. The historic
town is great to wander round and there are
many other attractive destinations in the
area. Above all Pete and Mary and their two
lovely dogs give you a great welcome. The
well stocked fridge and the home baking were
absolutely splendid. We found out that our
hosts came from the same part of the world
as we did, but I know from the comments in
the visitors book that they are just as hospitable
to people from all over the world
Review submitted by Neil from Belfast (Submitted: 28 Sep 2010) Poco Paraiso was the perfect place for a lovely chilled-out holiday. The villa was situated within walking distance of the town and was also a good central base for venturing to places such as Cordoba and Granada. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable 2-week stay. Having a pool all to ourselves was fanastic and it was lovely to sit in the courtyard in the evenings after cooking on the bar-be-que. The owners of the villa (Peter & Mary) were extremely kind, generous and thoughtful. Their advice on what towns/villages to visit was great and Peter even "taxied" us up to a nice restaurant one night since we would never have found it by ourselves! The welcome pack was a lovely touch and we enjoyed cooking with the home-grown vegetables from the garden. We were very sad to leave and if youre looking for a relaxing holiday with plenty of sunshine then this is the place for you!The Ultimate Relaxing HolidayFrom the moment my wife and I arrived at
El Paraiso we were put at ease with the warmest
of welcomes from Mary and Pete. The surprises
just kept coming when we got settled into
the spotlessly clean, modern villa and found
the huge welcome pack. This gave us enough
time to get settled and find our way around
Priego. After that it was a case of relax
and chill out and boy didn’t we just!
The surrounding views from the poolside were
stunning and will stay with me and my wife
forever. The 2 weeks we where there, we were
blessed with the best weather and warmest
sunshine we have ever experienced. I would
definitely recommend this as the ideal chill
out vacation and would recommend this jewel
of a location to anyone. Our thanks again
to Mary and Pete.

This was our second visit to "El Paraiso
and as previously we were not disappointed.
It is a wonderful place to relax, soak up
some very welcomed sunshine and enjoy the
spectacular views and countryside. The warm
hospitality of our hosts Mary and Peter and
the sole use of the private pool was the
icing on the cake. The villa was beautifully
equipped and clean and the welcome pack made
our arrival feel very relaxed. We will certainly
be recommending "El Paraiso", and
will be returning ourselves next year.
Perfect Andalusian Retreat
Johnson United States Review Submitted: June 19, 2010
Paraiso Encontro was our home for two
and a half weeks in May, 2010 and
was everything we had hoped to find. Just
looking at the photos again takes us right
back there! The apartment was fully equipped
and so comfortable and thoughtfully designed
to ensure maximum privacy yet with the freedom
to roam the beautiful grounds.
The location is ideal and Mary and Peter
were so welcoming - including stocking the
fridge! - and cheerfully showed us around
the charming town of Priego de Córdoba,
including the best tapas bars! They were
next door to meet any need we had, yet always
sensitive to maintaining the privacy of their
guests. What a lovely 'home'
it was to return to after a wonderful day
exploring the beautiful surroundings, or
after an overnight in Córdoba or Granada
- The perfect base for an extended stay.
Thank you Mary and Peter - We would love
a repeat!
Review submitted by Alison from Polegate Submitted: 28/04/2010
"The villa is situated in a perfect location. Easy driving distance to Granda and Cordoba, the beautiful walks along the Via Verde and a few minutes on foot to the stunning town of Priego which has everything you could wish for in terms of bars, restaurants, interesting museums and spectacular baroque churches. The villa itself has every amenity for a comfortable stay, is spotlessly clean and the hosts, Pete and Mary, cannot do enough to make you feel at home. Their hospitality was put the test when we were stranded by the volcanic ash problem and they were so kind in enabling us to stay on in the villa. What could have been a bit of an ordeal was turned into an extra weeks great holiday with their generous support. "
