We are Graeme & Marianne Giles, your hosts at Rambla Retreats. Joining us are our two friendly dogs, Bonnie & Clyde, and a collection of four elusive cats: Deano, TJ, Lulu & Bob, not to mention our many named chickens.
In July 2021, we embarked on a new chapter of our lives, drawn to the enchanting charm of Rambla de Oria after countless visits. Our quest for a forever home and a new venture led us to explore just three properties, and it was love at first sight when we discovered our old cortijo, Cortijo No sé qué. Perched high on the slopes of Rambla de Oria, it offers captivating views up and down the valley, albeit with a cautionary note during heavy rains. More on that later.
Rambla Retreats apartments are nestled within the expansive 25-acre grounds of our cortijo. Overlooking our olive grove and fruit trees, these accommodations are situated atop the Rambla de Oria in the Province of Almeria. With breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside and convenient access from both the main road and the rambla, our location is a true gem.
Transforming derelict outbuildings over 18 months, we've created three exquisite self-catering apartments. Guests can relish shared outdoor spaces, terraces, a welcoming bar area, and the delights of our pool and hot-tub.
Our guests have their pick of three fully equipped self-catering apartments, all nestled in the serene grounds of our family farmhouse. We're ideally situated in the heart of Almeria's countryside, offering cycling tours, hiking routes, artists' retreats, and so much more. Whether you're looking for a brief escape, a two-week vacation, or a long-term stay, we're here for you.

Just a brief 10-minute drive will take you to Oria, while a mere 15-minute jaunt lands you in the larger town of Albox. Both offer an array of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and assorted stores.
For beach enthusiasts, the stunning shores, Mojacar, Garrucha, and Vera are a mere 45-minute drive away. More info about the area here
At Rambla Retreats we've taken sustainability to heart, with a complete solar system providing electricity and hot water. Additionally, we've reclaimed extensive agricultural land with the construction of four expansive stone wall terraces, which will soon be home to fruit trees, vegetables, and secluded seating areas where guests can savour the awe-inspiring views.
Muy agradable todo, la casa estaba bien equipada, el entorno natural y alejado ayudaba a la desconexión. La ubicación buena, y la una hora de la costa. ¡Estupendo!
