Conditions

The owners of all the houses, including us, are members of the Andalusian Association of Rural Accommodations. At one of the meetings it became clear that we needed to promote our houses abroad.

Our houses are duly inspected and offer a quality warranty, similar to the English systems of keys and diamonds and the German DLG quality mark (three olives is the same as DLG).

We offer a unique variety of houses in districts which are not yet visited by mass-tourism; like houses in the Alpujarras, a wonderful mountainous area south of Granada and not far from the Mediterranean Sea, with white villages built by the Moors on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, it´s peaks reaching 3500 m.

Also we have different houses in the Valle de Lécrin, the Valley of Joy as the Arabs called the place, located between Granada and the Mediterranean Sea.

In the biggest natural park of all Spain, the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura and las Villas we have some nice apartments and studios in the historic village of Segura.

A good place for family- or groupholidays are the three old farms, dating from the 19th century in the Sierra de Castril, on the frontier between the provinces of Granada and Jaen.

In the biggest forrest of corkoaks in the world, in the Sierra de Grazalema, not far from Ronda, you can chose also some of our very authentic holidayhomes.

If however you prefer a quiet place near the sea then we can recommend you some houses just near the beaches of Conil de la Frontera, at the Costa de la Luz in the province of Cadiz or some nice holidayhomes in the Sierra de Filabres and in the Cabo de Gata area in the province of Almeria.

The location of the houses on Google Maps is not exact, so if you have any doubts, please ask.

You pay a part of the total amount to Le Chien Andalous. This deposit must be paid within two weeks after making the reservation. The other part is paid to the owner on arrival at your holiday house.

Water and electricity are included in the rental fee. Each house has its own arrangements for heating costs. In most cases, with normal use, the owner covers the costs of bottled gas and electricity. Wood for the fireplace is sometimes included in the rent and sometimes not.

If Le Chien Andalous is obliged by circumstances beyond our control to cancel the rental agreement, we will offer you another house of the same category. If this is not possible, we will refund your payment. Le Chien Andalous cannot be responsible for any other damages arising from cancellation.
