Casa De Los Cuadros

A retreat style place. Calm, in nature.
If you are interested in real Spain and living like a local then this is for you.

It is not isolated and has a few bars and restaurants in the village, with more to explore in the nearby towns.

You can access our village by bus from Malaga or Seville. There is a daily bus that can take you to well known tourist towns such as Ronda.

You can get to famous Ronda in 45 minutes by bus and the beautiful town of Grazalema in 15 minutes by bus.

The region is one of the sunniest parts of Spain. Lots of winter sunshine too. The house is heated in winter and very comfortable in all seasons.

Steve is a photographer and Dawn is in Marketing. We spend a lot of time away from the house as well as working in the house, mostly during Art Retreats. Depending on the time of year that you stay, it could be working with another volunteer and you stay in our apartment. If we are not there then you will need to cook and be independent but we do provide all of the food. Other times, you would be working with us and we cook.

Casa de los Casados is in a beautiful mountain setting with plenty of great hikes nearby and a lovely local pool to enjoy on warm days. The work was straightforward and simple, leaving time to explore the surroundings. Food options were quite basic, mostly frozen meats and pasta, with the small town shop offering limited ingredients. I didn’t meet the host in person, as instructions were given by phone, but tasks were mostly clearly explained. Overall, it was a memorable experience in a stunning location, and with a few small changes, it could be even more enjoyable for future volunteers.

I had a wonderful time during my volunteering stay. The hosts were very kind—even though They weren’t there in person, we communicated really well via text messages. There wasn’t too much work, just 2–4 hours a day, so there was plenty of free time. The town is beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. It was an amazing experience. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to stay with you.

I loved my time at Casa de los Cuadros! It’s in a small rural village in the Spanish mountains, making for a peaceful, slow-paced volunteering experience. The locals are lovely, and the village has all you need—plus lots of great hikes. We spent the first night with Dawn and Steve, who were so kind and welcoming. They were away the rest of our stay but kept great communication. The work was fair, and the food provided to cook with was amazing. Also so grateful for the other volunteers, Danielle & George—we had the best time!

I had a great time in the Casa de los Cuadros. If you're looking for a more relaxed volunteer experience in rural Spain then this opportunity is perfect. The village is small but has everything you'll need. There's also daily buses to nearby pueblos (like Grazalema which is very beautiful). The facilities are great with friendly owners. Although the owners were away during my stay, they stayed in touch reminding us of our tasks every day. They also left some delicious food for us to eat haha. Of course very grateful to Danielle and Micki for making my experience here even greater:))
