Stunning views, beautiful sunrises & sunsets, crystal clear night sky, amazing accommodation, great activities (kayaking , rock climbing, horse riding, milking a goat(!), making cheese and bread). Not forgetting Lola the dog who escorted my daughter and I on long rambles around the countryside. Nick Levitsky - Apr 2018
Peaceful hotel, good food, beautiful countryside, interesting and varied activities which work for children and adults. Anna McConnell – November 2015
The stargazing just fabulous, never seen so many stars! Simone Fiaccavento - July 2012
I felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. The scenery, the setting, the other guests, the ambience – all were fantastic.” Alexandra Haxton - August 2017
Canoeing on La Bolera reservoir; the people there were a massive help, the lake an amazing blue colour and the meal overlooking afterwards was really nice and very affordable. Craig Buttery" - August 2017
It was simply superb. The venue, the area, the other guest, and especially the hosts made this a holiday to remember Sara Anderson - September 2017
As the hotel is small we made friends with all the other guests and frequently did activities with them which made them all the more fun. The rafting was the most exciting activity we did and is not to be missed! Louise Banham - July 2017
The Andalucian cooking, with our ebullient and ever so Spanish chief who provided most of the ingredients from their garden, was great fun and the results very,very tasty Clare Duncan - August 2015
So much more than we expected. A perfect balance of relaxation, exploration and excitement Jonathan Stevens - September 2017

We brought additional tourism to the area which seemed somewhat of a novelty in this part of Spain, refreshingly. Lesley Bender - August 2016

Lots of family bonding time and both the children( age 14 and 11) said that they would be happy to do a similar holiday again. Trupti Tandon – August 2016

A real Spanish experience of local food & culture – Fantastic! Bree Brennan - July 2017
The property relies on passive design rather than A/C to manage the temperature. Anna Rose - July 2016
