what OUR GUESTS SAy...

I stayed here solo traveling and had the most wonderful time. Amazing hospitality and such friendly hosts. The hotel itself was very comfortable with everything I needed. The pool was in a stunning setting and so nice just to relax and lounge next to on very hot afternoons. Nearby were wonderful walks in the national park, even easy ones I could do easily and the waterfall pool and cave nearby was stunning. A most memorable trip - I will definitely be returning!

Out of a 3-month trip, this was my favorite. Out in the mountains, lovely place, comfortable bed and shower, delicious pool to dip in after a hot day looking at things, little river, interesting hosts, yummy breakfast, and a good dog to pet. Excellent location to explore from. Would return in a heartbeat. Go across the street and have dinner at Pepe's. Don't miss Pileta Cave.

This was an absolute find for us, just exactly what we were looking for. A peaceful retreat with a laid-back feel. A lovely characterful hotel, our room was fitted out with traditional heavy Spanish furniture but it suited the room exactly. Our room had an enormous shady roof terrace overlooking the babbling brook running past the hotel - it was once upon a time a mill)....

This is a rural hotel, in the middle of the countryside, bordered by a small river. Please do not expect a posh hotel, but rather a full of character quirky rustic property. Philip and Suzanne were excellent hosts, who made us most welcome. There's a lovely 2km riverwalk into the small village where one can catch the train. Our room was very good, overlooking the river. A very comfy bed.

Ronda

The historic city of Ronda is just 10 kilometres distant. Its dramatic location spanning a gorge some 200 metres deep has attracted travellers, writers and artists for centuries. The old city boasts many sites of interest dating back to its moorish origins, while across the famous ‘new bridge’ – which spans the gorge, can be found the commercial centre and bullring. Ronda can easily be reached by car, by train along the picturesque railway line which runs up the Guardiaro valley, or on foot

WHITE VILLAGES

The surrounding Serranias are known not just for their spectacular mountain scenery but also for the pueblos blancos, or white villages. These villages of Moorish origins enjoy spectacular settings above the valleys of two rivers – the Guadiaro and Genal, and merit exploration for a range of geographical, architectural and historic reasons.

ANDALUCIAN CITIES

Further afield are the major cities of Andalucia – or Andalusia as it is sometimes spelled – Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Jerez, Cadiz and Malaga are all within reach of a days outing. The coastal resorts of Marbella and Estepona are an hour away. Also worth a visit are the traditional Spanish resorts of the yet unspoilt Costa de la Luz – Tarifa, Chiclana and Sanlucar de Barrameda.
