Ddg Retreat

My wife booked DDG Retreat as a surprise for our anniversary. We've always loved visiting Casares and Gaucin, and I've often gazed up at the properties atop the peaks in the area, wondering what it would be like to stay up there. Now I know! At the risk of sounding really corny, genuinely a slice of heaven IN the heavens!! Olga, Sacha and Diara are lovely and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble (including helping with flat car batteries...). I really miss Casa Pino, and can't wait to return. Well appointed and beautifully secluded, with views to die for. At the end of the day, a hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room, and I've stayed in plenty. This was a whole other experience. Just go!

We want to keep DDG Retreat a secret so please don’t read this review or tell others- the place is a dream! Perfect silence, beautiful facilities and room and pool. Surrounded by mountains and perfect blue skies - then there are the birds ! Vultures eagles peregrines warblers oh! More vultures. My neck aches from looking up. This is now our secret go to place … oh! We’ll never mind even if it’s “full” you probably won’t meet anyone . Just prefect!

I honestly don't think there are words to express how magical DDG Retreat is! If you are looking for a secluded, beautiful, super romantic get away for you and your other half in the south of Spain, please look no further. The accommodation is so secluded and intimate, the communal pool (only shared with one other room) is beautiful. The views are out of this world. And Daria and her family are so welcoming, friendly, lovely, and do everything they can to ensure you have the best time, you will feel like you have made friends for life. The only point of note is - the platters are huuuge so be careful not to over order. 😄 Also, one night is not enough, so don't make the same mistake we did, and book at least two nights. I guarantee you will not regret it ❤️

We had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend this gem and we will definitely be back. Thank you Daria and family for making my birthday special and memorable. Loved every second

We had big expertations going at this adult only place, expensive but luxury at a high level, we thought. Some days before our arrival we had conversation with the place, and found our that we were not able to get breakfast served. The only serving was four different platters for 29€, fish, cheese, fruit and meat, all nothing that could do it as a meal. We would have acces to a kitchen, and could make our own meals. This was very suprising as we were not expecting to go on camping with own cooking but luxury retreat getting spoiled. Dinners could be at local restaurants, fair enough, but as we were out of season all restaurants were closed on sundays. We went 30 min by car to a nearby town and found a good place to dine. The first night we had a intense storm, power broke down and the same did the heat and water. In the morning we were stood up to a very cold House and got served the 29€ fruit platter as we ordered, We sat indoor in app 15 degrees, freezing eating tropical fruit. Quite comic and we had a great laugh about the situation. As we could see that the comming days it could continue as started and be full of expertation not meet. This should have been a pampered experience and could se in the pattern that this would continue. We decided to leave the place and the 4x€445 prepaid nights to be sure not to ruin the vacation. We had some wonderful days in Vinci hotel Malaga for a very fair price and premium service.

Me and my husband went on our 20th anniversary first stop to this lovely retreat, I was extremely excited because it was a surprise for him. The access to the place is kind of scary but once we made it up there everything was beautiful and it was worthy. There’s plenty of nice details everywhere that make the place very special. The problem is that the hostess informed us there had been a problem with electricity that day and the gorgeous room was pretty much an oven, not a room any more. We were a little hungry so we asked for a meat platter, not worthy at all, 29€ for it, we didn’t eat it cause it wasn’t so fresh after 5 min in that oven. We decided to get in the little pool because it was impossible to take a nap as the ac wouldn’t cool the room down at all ( electricity came back eventually). The infinity pool is amazing, a little piece of a paradise, I really enjoyed that. Then we went to have dinner at the outstanding restaurant Sarmiento, delicious food and a great view of the town. Minibar was complementary (water, coke, 7up and tonic) and we had a bottle of cava upon arrival, for the price of the retreat I would expect nothing less. I have to say I was a little disappointed with our stay because for the price I paid I wanted everything perfect, the hostess kept on apologizing because obviously there was nothing she could do but at the same time it wasn’t my fault either and I couldn’t fully enjoy my relaxing day. The day we left she asked us to leave the money for the meat platter on the table and opened the gate from the far. It would have been nice to have paid her for the platter in person. Even though my experience wasn’t the best, I’m pretty sure anyone would enjoy that peace and quiet any time. I think there would be an extra if they had somebody a couple of hours at the bar of the pool serving cocktails 😉that would make the experience go up a level. Otherwise it’s a nice expensive rural house.
