Welcome to carligto

A new standard of luxury for private villa rentals

Having achieved the pinnacle of success with the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List award for “Best Rural Escape in Spain,” the team behind Cortijo El Carligto offer a new, expanded portfolio. While Cortijo El Carligto is now reserved as a private residence, The Hunting Lodge continues to delight guests from its secluded hilltop perch while two additional properties along the same ridge take full advantage of the serene and expansive setting. Each property offers distinctive and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, the Mediterranean Sea and the inland Lake Viñuela, while the Carligto team continue to deliver an impeccable standard of luxury for the private villa rental.

These private Andalusian hideaways offer all the luxury and service of a five star hotel, with the added indulgence of blissful, private exclusivity.

La Maroma, the highest mountain in Malaga Province dominates the landscape to the east, at a convergence of three mountain ranges comprising a massive nature reserve offering endless hiking and the most extraordinary views from up to 2000m at the peak. The ridge harboring these hideaways juts out into the centre of a vast river valley, filled with avocado and mangro groves below, the horizon bursting with mountains on all sides apart from the expanse of blue Mediterranean Sea to the south.

This stunning backdrop fosters a relaxing sense of tranquility at these gorgeous luxury villas, each one replete with characterful Andalusian courtyards, al-fresco dining and ample swimming pools, all perfectly private. It’s easy to feel withdrawn from the hectic buzz of daily life, and a sense of remoteness, despite being within one hour of the metropolitan city of Malaga and just half an hour to the coast. The historic city of Granada is a mere hour and a half drive.
