We were truly enchanted by our stay at La Cabaña with Brigit and Kees. The place radiates a unique vibe of peace and harmony with nature. The buildings are beautifully integrated into the olive grove and surrounded by other fruit trees, blending perfectly with the landscape.
The cabana itself offers a feeling of simplicity that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly soak in the beauty of this magical place. It's the perfect spot to rest, recharge, and be inspired.
It's clear to see Brigit and Kees' passion for nature, their deep respect for the environment, and their genuine connection with the elements and the people around them. This will undoubtedly remain among the very best memories of our travels. If we ever return to Spain, we will certainly come back here without hesitation!
We HiGHLY recommend!!!

Todos los años cojo casas rurales en Airbnb y está es una de las mejores en las que e estado.
Un sitio super tranquilo y agradable.
La piscina está muy bien para los días de calor que están haciendo.
Los niños se lo an pasado genial.
Britt y Kees super amables y atentos en todo momento.
Muchísimas gracias.

Excelente cabaña para pasar unos días de relax en familia. También tuvimos ocasión de hacer senderismo y visitas culturales a pocos kilómetros. Los anfitriones tienen un tesoro y son muy amables

We stayed in the cabana from May 8 to 17. A wonderful place. The cabana is very well cared for, Kees and Britt are pleasant hosts. At any time of the day there was a pleasant place to sit in the garden.
We especially enjoyed walks in nature and some places in the area.
At La Pura Vida we immediately felt at ease and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Thanks again!

What a wonderful place to unwind!
From March 29 to April 5, 2025 we stayed in the cozy Cabaña at La Pura Vida Yunquera of Kees and Britt. What a warm welcome! Kees and Britt are incredibly involved, think with you and make you feel right at home.
The surroundings are beautiful and perfect for those who love hiking and cycling. The sunny Spanish south coast is only an hour away, and also pearls such as Ronda and the impressive Caminito del Rey are easily accessible by car.
In short: an ideal base for the challenging cycling and hiking enthusiast and other culture vultures.
Thanks for the hospitality, the nice atmosphere and all the good care. We would love to come back!

The ultimate vacation feeling for us is: lots of peace, few people, reading books, a good walk, lots of beautiful views and beautiful (ancient) culture. We have been completely satisfied the last 2 weeks (from 15 to 29 July 24) in La Cabaña.
All our wishes have been fulfilled. We totally relaxed and went home stress-free! An excellent feeling. Britt&Kees: thanks for the good care these 2 weeks and who knows, see you soon!

En choisissant cet établissement, nous avais la certitude que nous allions nous diconnecter de notre train-train habituel.
Cela s'est déjá confirmé durant notre voyage non seulement de part le paysage maís d'autant plus á notre arrivée de part des propietaíres. Un dipaysement total et une reorganisation de nos activités. Nous avons particulieremant apprecié le calme, des lieuz, la situation, le logement et la sympathie de Kees et Brigit.
Nous esperons pouvoir revenir a l'occasion.
Encore merci á vous deux pour cette belle aventure.

In late May to early June we had an excellent stay with this Dutch couple Kees and Britt. We stayed in the Casita. A fine lodge for two persons. Cosy and comfortably furnished. It was our first vacation.
Because of the nice weather we made many trips. You definitely need a car. The swimming pool under the olive trees brought coolness. We were showered with tips by Britt and Kees. A special sideline in the village turned out to be Liam and Juan's restaurant Carpe Diem. Star-worthy menu. Definitely worth a visit.

La Pura Vida has taught me to really live. Waking up every morning to the peace, chirping. Watching nature wake up, hearing the rooster crow. Seeing the sun slowly take on a different glow and then the smell ... uncatchable. Sitting in front of the cabin and immersing myself in it did my recovery good.
Then not forgetting the pool with the beautiful view of the mountains before the sun disappears behind the mountains. A wonderful place to walk to discover the beautiful surroundings. To the right you come to a little church (where the key is just in the door). To the left beautiful views of Yunquera. Walking to the village to have a drink among the locals. The road to and Ronda itself: indescribably beautiful. The landscapes are so diverse that you are constantly surprised. Also make sure you sometimes miss a turnoff... this puts you on roads/paths you don't know and like life brings you unexpected things that make life more pure. Each time I was surprised by the oasis of peace and was happy to come back home to La Pura Vida Yunquera.
Thanks to Kees&Britt for creating this: a pearl in the Sierra de las Nieves.

"La Pura Vida"
The feeling we had upon seeing the brochure (received through Kees at RTV de Bollenstreek) was surpassed.
The beautiful location, the cabaña with pool and bbq area, the tree/flower/bird garden, the peace and privacy
along with the fantastic surroundings, a Valhalla for cycling and walking
= the pure good life!
Britt and Kees thanks for your hospitality!
PS: thanks to the help of the always friendly local bdpopulation we were spared kilometers of walking with the bike!

From the first moment I entered La Pura Vida, I felt very welcome and at home. I had the good fortune to stay at La Casita for five full weeks. Partly to work online (good WIFI!) and partly to enjoy the peace, the surroundings and the sun. It became an unforgettable success! Mainly because of the beautiful walks in the Sierra de las Nieves, the hospitality and humor of Kees &Britt, the good tips about visiting the Caminito del Rey, Málaga, Ronda and Estepona, the challenging MTB tour guided by Kees, the village festivals and so on. It tastes like more so see you next year!

Lovely place where you immediately feel at home and unwind. Very well maintained grounds, super clean & nicely decorated cottage and incredibly sweet hosts who like to think about fun activities and restaurants. Perfect base for fun trips in the area. Lots to do within an hour's drive, from beaches and beautiful cities to great walks (Caminito del Rey ?!). We hope to come back here again.

Kees and Britt are hospitable and helpful. Beautiful hiking and biking trips can be made from the location. There are 2 vacation homes in which everything you need is present with excellent beds. Yunquera is a small and authentic village. The center is within walking distance and we were lucky enough to experience a village festival. Very cozy and hardly any tourists which is nice sometimes. Tourist attractions include the town of Ronda and Malaga about 1 hour away by car. All in all a successful vacation.
On behalf of the OSBF group I would like to thank Kees and Britt for their efforts to make us feel comfortable.
Regards, Ozzy

Wir haben den Urlaub im La Pura Vida sehr genossen. Britt und Kees sind tolle Gastgeber und wundervolle Menschen, die sehr hilfsbereit sind, wir haben uns sehr gut mit ihnen verstanden. Es war sehr idyllisch, mitten in der Natur, mit Zitronenbäumen und vielen Tieren in der Umgebung. Wir haben es sehr genossen, fernab vom Trubel für uns zu sein, am Pool zu entspannen und in der Natur spazieren zu gehen. Das nahe gelegene Dorf Yunquera ist auch sehr hübsch. Wir kommen liebend gerne wieder!

We were unfortunately only there for a long weekend, but what a treat it was.
From our arrival we received a warm welcome, and were immediately immersed in the pure Spanish life.
The cabana was neatly arranged and equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay.
The breakfast was very tasty, and the hospitality was really great.
Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay here in Spain. The house was clean, very cosy, fully equipped, and fun interiour.
I really enjoyed the swimming pool with seating area. Beautiful views of the mountains, green garden.
The village Yunquera is beautiful, with some supermarkets, small shops with regional food, and some cafe's.
There was good communication with the hosts, they recommended good hiking routes. The area is beautiful, very peaceful and I enjoyed the breathtaking views while hiking.
The hosts also told me about some cities nearby, I visited Ronda which I really recommend!

The hosts are super nice and responsive. The breakfast was delicious and the service was fantastic. The cottage is cozy and clean. The area is beautiful with several hiking and biking trails through the mountains. The village has everything you need and the hostess is super helpful with planning trips!
