Absolutely astonishing!

Amidst the awfully crowded Costa del Sol there is this little sweet paradise: DDG retreat. We started our honeymoon in Casares where we had a unforgettable week. If you are looking for an individual, comfortable and luxurious spot, DDG offers this and even more. The retreat itself is a huge garden and the casas have been affectionately arranged by the good taste of the host's themselves. We have lodged in Casa Oleando. The Casa was very clean, offering every comfort a guest, that wants to have some privacy, requires. Encircled by nature, you will enjoy the silence and the tranquility of the aera. If you wish some distraction the main house offers a variety of art books, dvd's, music and for refreshing a great swimming pool (besides your private pool). The friendly stuff has maintained a high level of service throughout our stay, without being pushy. We also would like to mention the rich an delicious breakfast that we have enjoyed every day and the great dinner Olga prepared herself. The fact that a table has to agree to the same dish does not affect at all the high grade of culinary experience. In contrary, it gives to the dinner a extra personal touch. By the way: the list of wine is awesome. If you wish to explore the area or to eat in an other restaurant, the host's will perfectly advise you. They even offer driving service.
We definitely highly recommend DDG to everyone who has sense of taste and enjoys the sunny side of life!

Left on 11/04/2011 for a stay in October 2011
Having read the reviews on this site, I thought the retreat couldn't possibly live up to my high expectations - in fact, it exceeded them. This is an absolutely beautiful place and I can't recommend it highly enough. The accomodation (I stayed in Casa Cipres) was small, but had everything I needed. It was spotless and beautifully furnished. The views are spectactular, the pool and other common areas are wonderfully luxurious, and the food is simple and delicious. The owners have achieved something really special here. They were attentive without being in any way overbearing - I honestly can't think of anything more they could have done to make this holiday better.

A Retread feel like in Heaven
Left on 10/14/2011 for a stay in October 2011
Everything was perfect for relaxation and sense of well-beeing. We felt welcome from the first minute. Many details and the heartiness of the owners and the staff makes us feel like in Heaven. Also the area, the fantastic view over the mountains and the flying eagles, the great pool-area where a perfect dream. We also enjoed the meal and the good wine. In the immediate environs of DDG Retreat are many possibilities for trips.
Highly recommended
A highly recommended secluded retreat an hours drive from Malaga airport from which the retreat can organise a pick-up for around €120 each way.
For our three night break we chose Casa Cipres, the smallest casa, which is in an elevated position reached by a steep stairway (not recommended for anyone with limited mobility). It is small and cosy and has a large outside area to relax with sun loungers, daybed and table and chairs and has spectacular view of the mountains. The website accurately describes the room.
The infinity pool is beautifully quiet and tranquil presumably as some of the casas have their own private pools. Small fridges filled with beer, wine and soft drinks are dotted around the pool and spa area, and a trunk full of Dvds and books are there for your use.
There are a number of restaurants within a short distance - we can highly recommend The Forge - and the retreat will happily taxi you there and back for around €14 each way. However, you should at least stay at the retreat for one night and sample Olga’s delicious home cooking which is taken in the romantic garden.
The quaint white-washed village of Casares is worth a visit and just a 15 minute walk on a track from the retreat (sturdy shoes are recommended). There are a restaurants, bars and a few shops within the village.
Thank you to Daria for her organisation and to Alex and Olga for their hospitality.
Most relaxing holiday ever!
We're from Germany and we spent our honeymoon at the DDG Retreat. The first impression was very good. Olga picked us up in the valley and showed us the way up the hill. The road is a bit rustic, indeed, but not as bad as we thought it would be. We made it with a fiat. The whole facility is so beautiful and very impressive. There are many little spots and details to explore! We stayed in Casa Pino. The little pool outside is always clean and the view from there is amazing. Olga and her team are very friendly and they take care of everything. DDG is not really a hotel. Being there feels like visiting friends who want your stay to be as pleasent as possible...
A real Spanish gem
We have recently returned from staying at DDG retreats and highly recommend the retreat. Our stay was at the very private Casa Pino, it has real character and wonderful views over to the sea and Gibraltar. The small plunge pool is perfect for cooling off in and the property comes with it's own sun beds. Daria sorted out our last minute booking in a very professional way giving us all sorts of options and was never pushy or up-selling features The accommodation has everything you need and is well decorated, clean and tidy. The kitchen is small, but does have microwave and a hob for cooking, on which I turned out some pretty good meals. The welcome and service is excellent, Olga met us on the road in to guide us up and showed us around the facilities, they then stepped in when we needed them. All the safe on the site were very helpful and polite. We ate a couple of times at the fantastic dining area and found the meals excellent and very reasonably priced. Olga is a great cook and presentation is perfect. Alex knows his wines and we had a lovely bottle of wine. I had a fall from a horse whilst out there and alex turned up with antiseptic and pain killers for my back, all very welcome. The shared pool is fantastic (if a little chilly at times), and the whole environment has a real quality feel to it. Privacy is the real word for this retreat, if you are on honeymoon it is perfect, especially at Casa Pino which is completely apart from the rest of the estate and has lots of character and charm. One word of warning, the road to the retreat in the hills is pretty steep in places, get a car with a few horse power to get you up there! ... the views are worth it! The bottom line... it's worth the money... more expensive than a standard villa ... but quality and service are well worth the extra cash... especially if it's your honeymoon!

Absolute relaxation!
From the moment we got to the retreat we were relaxed. Set amongst the mountains the DDG Retreat is complete escapism. The staff were beyond helpful (even the resident alsatians looked out for us!) There is no need to leave the retreat as Olga puts on a great menu for breakfast and dinner. Olga also suggested some wonderful places to eat when we wanted to get out and about (Venta Garcia was amazing!) We had the pool area to ourselves most of the time (sun worshipping brits!) But with only 5 villas on the property even at full capacity it would not be crowed. We were luckily enough to have a massage and facial while we were there which was also brilliant. Will definitely be going back.
A small and perfectly formed "hidden gem"
Escaping the hurly burly of our hectic lives, a relatively short plane journey transported us straight to Paradise. From start to finish DDG Retreats was, for us and our two children (12 and 14), a perfect holiday experience. It’s hard to pick out the highlights from so many lovely surprises that awaited us. So in no particular order - there’s an amazing infinity pool where those seeking privacy can find fabulous chill-out zones to hideaway in. The spa is set amidst natural woodland where we enjoyed treatments that were to-die-for. There’s a great all weather tennis court with far reaching views across to Gibraltar and North africa. And to while away those hammock moments there are glossy coffee-table books galore. Slaving over a hot stove wasn’t our idea of a rest but with Olga’s cooking and a very pretty terrace restaurant for dining in, luckily we didn't need to. The menu was varied, the meals were delicious, and the sea-food soup was the tastiest we'd ever had. So successful was Olga’s cooking that our budding 12-year-old gourmet pestered incessantly to eat there. The whole ambience is one of peace and calm allowing us rare distraction-free quality time as a family. And the attention to detail wowed us. There were Nespresso machines in each villa, a ready-stocked wine cabinet, and even His and Hers straw hats, sarongs and cotton robes were supplied, meaning we needn’t have bothered with the excess baggage we'd struggled through the airport with! As for the place itself, the architecture’s been inspired by an exotic melting pot of cultures. Olga and alex have travelled extensively – and we loved the influences that came from every corner of the Globe. Bali, Thailand, Africa, Ibiza, they were all here to be enjoyed. At DDG Retreats Olga and alex have put their hearts, souls and a bucket-load of passion into creating a very special place. We found DDG by chance. We went with no expectations and were blown away by our "hidden gem" of a discovery! We’ll be back!

An amazing place! truly relaxing and luxurious.
I spent a week in DDG retreats with my partner for our summer holiday. It's a beautiful, very relaxing place. The infinity pool is amazing and easy to spend the whole day by it. We had a couple of beauty treatments each which were easily organised and in the lovely spa area in the grounds. Olga and Alexander, the owners, were so welcoming and very very attentive. We had two delicious dinners in the very pretty gardens cooked by Olga - highly recommend the paella! We liked that the room had cooking facilities so we could easily make our own lunch or dinners. The view from our terrace was incredible and the retreat is in a stunning location in the hills. I'd suggest DDG retreats for a relaxing, beautiful couple's holiday.

Excellent !
I have never experienced a service and dedication like this. I was setting up a special night for anniversary - everything was organized with flowers, candles, special private dinner - even romantic music from a private cd collection. This place is unbelieveable - run with heart and not for the money. All of this dedication was done for 1 night only - in other places no one would care for a one night payment - but here they do !

Fantastic!
Wonderful privacy! Beautiful location. A little bit far away from the rest of the world (but we knew that, and it was def worth the extra few miles). The street up to the resort is spectacular, but not recommended for sports car since it's quite bumpy. However, our Peugeot 207cc made it up there easily.

What a wonderful hideaway
We travel around a lot. We wanted somewhere special to celebrate 25 years of marriage. Well, we found it! Here are some people who really want to make sure that your stay is perfect - from the Casas? Villas themselves, down to how you like your eggs at breakfast! This isn't a 'hotel' experience in the usual sense. It is a quality, romantic secluded set of clean villas set in trees in the hills, away from each other. At the press of a button however, someone appears to answer any request. Not sure how to fault it!!

Idyllic escape
What a wonderful place to escape for complete relaxation. The views are stunning, the facilities fantastic and the service is superb. If you want a place to relax and restore, this is the perfect place to go. We particularly loved the complete privacy and the chance to spend time together. The spa is a must - best massage and facial ever, and the surroundings are breathtaking. Thanks for a wonderful trip.

Romantic Privacy
The DDG Retreat is a charming place up in the mountains with spectacular view, beautiful nature and 100% privacy. Every casa is individually furnished with tasteful object from all over the world. The perfect place to relax and calm down from stressy every day life. Big plus: the retreat is family owned and therefore by far nicer than the unpersonal style of affiliated group leadered luxury retreats.

A seriously classy boutique hotel
Just outside the andalucian town of Caseres, the DRR is a small, seriously classy boutique hotel, offering complete privacy for those who require it. Guests with mobility problems should note that the Retreat is located at the top of a mountain, the final section of the drive to the property is challenging whilst the altitude is such that a wooly may be needed for the evenings. In return, the Retreat offers individual "casa" with private plunge pools or jacuzzis, in addition to the main heated infinity pool and spa. There seems to be a piece of sumptuous Moroccan furniture at every turn and jaw-dropping views of the coast, Gibraltar, Tangier and the High atlas mountains beyond. The coast, with an abundance of local restaurants is within 15 minutes drive, with a quiet, clean beach a further 10 minutes south. Golfers will spot the prestigious Finca Cortesin course, venue for the 2011 World Masters, on the doorstep of the Retreat. Olga and alex could not be more pleasant and helpful as hosts, whilst Olga's cooking and the wonderful gardens make it well worth staying in the odd evening. Take plenty of CDs - there are music systems everywhere!

Ddg retreat surpassed all of our expectations.
My wife and I researched several options before selecting the DDG resort to be part of our 10 year anniversary trip. The beautiful pictures and effusive reviews created very high expectations for our stay and we were therefore quite amazed when they were all surpassed. To start, the resort is every bit as beautiful as the pictures suggest. The grounds are impeccably maintained, the views are stunning and the pool area and fincas are as serene and as spacious (no false perspective!) as they look on the site. Then there is the experience - Olga, Alex and the DDG team provide something truly special. Discreet, professional and polite, without a touch of pretense. Each day we were more impressed by their attentiveness and courtesy and the overall feel that it created at the resort. Also, do yourself a favor and enjoy their breakfast each morning and have dinner at the resort at least once - Olga is an amazing cook! A little additional context for this review (lest you think us overly generous reviewers), my wife and I spent our younger years in the service industry and have since enjoyed stays at some fairly exclusive resorts. With those experiences I feel that we have developed fairly particular tastes and this is the first time that we have ever had such a thoroughly perfect experience.
Faversham, Kent
Like a piece of heaven.
If you want tranquility and peace then you are looking at the right place to stay. We loved everything about this place. Worth every penny and more. We would stay there again for sure, even considering booking again later in the season.

Absolutely Perfect!
I was looking to find somewhere special as a suprise for my partners birthday, and the Retreat seemed like the perfect place!It really was! From my original enquiry through to the day of departure Daria was brilliant having arranged all the little suprises for me before we arrived! The retreat itself is in a fantastic location with amazing views especially from Casa Pino where we stayed! The 'main' pool and spa area is brilliant - we were the only people there at the time which was great, very relaxing and romantic as hoped and the perfect place to unwind and chill out! Olga and Sacha are brillaint hosts and we wanted for nothing but to stay there longer and maybe for a little more sun than we had! It was a very memorable holiday just as we wanted and i cannot wait to go back again! Thank you so much!!

A really nice Honey Moon
We had a nice Honeymoon at Casares in Finca Pino. The area of DDG Retreat is very beautful with nice gardens and flowers. They have a nice wellness area with a heated swimming pool outside. Everywhere you can find little hidden places where you can sit, relax and enjoy. Our Finca was very beauitful and we had a nice garden with much flowers, hammock and a small pool. From our window and garden we could see the sea and Gibraltar sometimes we could see until africa, it was amazing. You can really enjoy your stay in privacy!

Absolutely Wonderful
Fantastic, Relaxing, Stylish, Romantic...I cannot heap superlatives enough upon Olga and Sacha for their beautiful mountain top retreat. We stayed in Casa Oleandra and felt so perfectly at home and relaxed within hours of arriving. Nothing has been left to chance and the attention to detail is superb. You will want for nothing here and the owners go out of their way to fully accommodate any request. The breakfasts and evening meal we had were faultless and the setting tranquil. The swimming pool and spa area are gorgeous and the gardens extremely well kept and full of tropical and native plants. An excellent combination of privacy and seclusion with discreet but efficient service. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. Thanks so much, its just what we needed!!! x

A fantastic and extremely relaxing holiday
As usual I carried out extensive research and trawled the web trying to find a holiday that would be a bit special, up to my girlfriend impeccable standards, conveniently located and relatively affordable. I seriously did want everything from DDG Retreat and I have to say that we were not disappointed. I have been lucky to have travelled a fair bit in my life and I can confirm that DDG due in large part to the stunning location, fantastic landscaping and interior design never gave us the impression that we were a mere 90 minutes from Malaga airport (It actually felt like we were holidaying in the tropics just without the ocean). From the very start I was really impressed with the service. Daria (the owners' daughter) is fantastic and is really helpful and managed all our requests perfectly. On arrival we were greeted by Olga (owner) who again is just lovely and who did everything to make sure our stay was exactly liked we hoped. People obviously have different tastes and whilst some love being waited on hand and foot we much prefer to be left in peace and we can say without hesitation that we thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed and independent experience that we received throughout our stay. Everything is at hand or can be provided but you are never hassled by overly keen / tip hungry waiters. We stayed 5 nights in Casa Olivo and chose the self catering option, although we could not resist having fantastic dinner at the retreat. We tend to really enjoy cooking wherever we go so just a word of warning to any like minded people, the kitchen is fairly small and only really has the bare essentials so cooking a feast may prove to be a challenge. However, any gripe I had about the lack of utensils was immediately forgotten once I sat out on the balcony with a glass of wine in hand. Quite simply the accommodation and view were fantastic. The whole 5 days were lovely and very memorable and we are already counting the days to when we can go back.

A perfect place for a romantic love vacation
We had chosen this place, because we wanted privacy and romance for our 25'th years anniversary. And we got it! It was a perfect choice and we had a wonderful vacation. We spent a lot of time in privacy by the casa, we went for lovely walkings in the area, and we drove to Marbella and Ronda. The weather could have been nicer, but we knew the risk this time of the year, and it diden't matter. We had an unforgettable time that brougth us close together.
Bethany
Beautiful scenery & excellent staff
I cannot say enough wonderful things abou DDG. My husband and I booked for 3 nights to catch some rays by the pool and just relax. Even though Southern Spain had some of the worst weathe in 80 years, the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. The heated pool and sauna were a great treat, even in the rain. I highly recommend eating at least one evening meal at the retreat, as Olga is an amazing cook. The retreat is set above the pretty white-washed village of Casares, and offers amazing views to the tip of Morocco. I promise you will not regret a stay at DDG.

Retreat is an absolute paradise, a very private and ultimately relaxing place that we will definately return to in the future! We consider ourselves descerning customers, with certain expectation after traveling the world for years but Retreat has asnwered all of our expectations and wishes and even more. We have been welcomed with Champagne and flowers, served amazing dinner by the infinity pool. We were looking for a very private place with attention to detail and we have found it all in Retreat. I would definately recommed staying at Retreat and we will certainly be back in the future!

A beautiful honeymoon alternative to long flight times & jet lag! Photos looked too good to be true & before I even booked Daria answered all my questions. She also arranged car hire which was faultless & suitable for the last mile which is steep, narrow & rough. The retreat itself is beautiful & you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it. Casa Oleandro, was beautifully decorated with stunning views. Champagne, flowers & grapes were awaiting our arrival. The spa & infinity pool were stunning & we spent a lot of time chilling out there, most of it with us be the only ones. We could choose relaxing music to play over speakers & just chill out. We're not good at tennis & just spent an afternoon having a knock about on the Tennis court but again everything was there that we needed. I loved the fact that everything was available to make our stay perfect. Olga & Alex, Daria's parents, were fantastic hosts being both attentive & discreet. We had a couple of minor issues with the Casa during our stay but these were resolved promptly after telling alex. No fuss or excuses, just a quick resolution & a bottle of champagne to say sorry. If pressed I would say the weather (mid September) was variable, especially due to being in the hills. However on the few seperate days it did rain we drove to Gibralta or Ronda & enjoyed lovely weather. The internet access was too slow to use but as we were on honeymoon this was seen as plus point by my wife! I figure even at maximum ocupancy this would still seem like an exclusive retreat. As it was we hardly saw any of the other guests & it felt like we had rented the whole place to ourselves! Would love to go back for one of our anniversaries!

A wonderful, tranquil place. Ideal if you want to switch off from everything and everyone! A very peaceful setting we didn't see anyone at the pool for 3 days. Even though it was extremely hot when we went we still used the gym facilities in the mornings and tennis at about 8 in the evening. This was a real chill out holiday we went out to a beautiful restaurant one night and the rest was tuna salads and wine on the terrace! You do need a car, we only used ours to get to and from the airport and for a supermarket run- 20 mins away. We also had a real treat and booked a massage which was fantastic overlooking the beautiful mountains. Olga and alex are lovely people and very welcoming. We would definatley recommend this and will be returning.

I've never booked a holiday online before so was a little anxious that the holiday wasn't going to live up to the description on the website. Well it far exceeded my expectations, I was overwhelmed by the utter beauty & tranquility of Casa Daria. Sacha & Olga could not possibly have done anything further to have made us more welcome or made our stay any more enjoyable...I cried when I arrived, as it was just so perfect situated on the top of a mountain with spetacular views & I cried when I had to leave because I just loved Sacha & Olga & thier whole ethos and attitude towards their guests... If your looking for paradise here it is...

We had a great stay, the main villa is beautiful and modern in design, with views to africa from the master bed ! The main pool is approx 70 yrds from the house and I believe shared when the surrounding bungalows are let but it is a stunning pool complete with bar, gym and spa hut for massage. We also saw a few smaller bungalows set into the hillside, each one unique but all appear to be perfect to escape and relax.

Many thanks to Olga and Alexander for unforgettable time. Excellent interior of the villa and incredible view from every window and terrace of this design villa, vast territory and the abundance of tropical vegetation, spacious swimming pool filled with crystal pure water make our stay at the villa one incomparable delight. Our group of 10 friends included both people who were looking for peace and quiet and those expecting to get some adventure holidays. Everybody received what he wanted. We could have a rest in the shadow of the garden or get into a car and drive to Marbella or to the ocean shore. This was our 3rd coming to Costa del Sol and this one was the best. When we were leaving every one of us was having the idea that next year this fairy tail will come true again.

A great little mountain gem only fifteen minutes from the coast, this retreat complex is perfect for a couple's holiday to get away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. The attention to detail and dedication to style that runs throughout the resort epitomises the quality of the holiday experience. The hosts are attentive and the food and spa offerings are the perfect compliment to achieving complete relaxation.

To fully review Finca Daria would take much too long and readers would probably have switched off before the end. So to put it simply, it was the best true break (10 days) away from life's pressures that we (my wife Sue and I) have enjoyed in almost 40 years and this has included staying in restful retreats in New Zealand, Sri Lanka and nearer home. The welcome, facilities, peace and calm are all as described in the brochures and websites, there is no need to repeat them, just confirm that they are true. Just read the descriptions decide if the location is for you and if so book with confidence. One tip, hire a car with as much ground clearance as possible, our Mercedes 180 grounded out on tarmac roads where heavy lorries had caused ridfes and dips in the surface, we had no trouble on the track up to the property, this was on the more main roads lower down!

This retreat is set high in the hillside just outside of the town of Casares, the scenery is simple sensational with awesome views stretching to Gibralter and the coast of Africa.This is the place to rest, relax and just 'be'. The owners were discrete yet attentive to our needs and the 5 star touches, champagne, flowers and fruit, a stunning spa and infinity pool in these amazingly tranquil suroundings set this apart from any other vacation we have been on.

We stayed at this resort in March, we had a very relaxing break. The bungalow was very well equipped, a huge bed and very comfortable. It was our anniversary and Daria had left us champagne, fruit and candles, it made our trip really special. I recommend visiting Casares village, a lovely walk to the church. Lots of good restaurants within a short drive, and the views over to the Atlas Mountains and Gibraltar are amazing.

Our party consisted of 7 adults and one 12 year old. Upon arrival we found the villa quite breathtaking with wonderful views from every angle over the surrounding countryside. The main patio looked over Gibraltar and the African coast beyond that. The villa itself was spacious and well equipped. The rooms were tastefully decorated with beautiful furniture and antiques. All mod cons were provided including an impressive home cinema much to the delight of our granddaughter. The owner Alex and his wife Olga were most welcoming and participated in making our stay special. The lovely swimming pool area, adjoining gardens, gym and tennis courts were a joy to use. We found plenty to interest our party in the surrounding area with trips to Gibraltar, Ronda, Marbella and the spanish market in Esptapona. Our local village of Casares, as well as being a picturesque white village gave us a true insight into Spanish life. All in all a lovely holiday!

The perfect place to unwind from our hectic London life! The views are amazing, the eagles are so majestic and wild and the pool... ah! Bliss! We loved this little place and would adore to come again for a perfect chill out in paradise.

Much, much more than we expected! A rustic, comfortable, chic hide-away. From the swirts of raptors flying overhead and the fresh flower in the room and the bowl of fruit on the table all combined to make a perfect peaceful, relaxing stay. We thought we were coming for a few days of peace and quiet but instead enjoyed a week of paradise! Welcoming and discreet hosts with an eye for style. Would love to come back here for another dose anytime.
A very wonderful and memorable holiday.
