The hotel is a long way off the road, but just keep on going down the track! Adrian Shaw September 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

Really relaxing, slowing down and spending time together as a family. We also enjoyed the farm visit, kayaking, rafting and Castril, loved the bronze age site too!” Andrea Combes - August 2017

Staying at El Geco is like visiting some cool friends who have gone to live in the coolest place – as far removed from a package holiday as possible. Clare Duncan - August 2015

This part of Spain is rural and they don’t see a lot of English people, most people don’t speak English, but they are friendly and will try and help you where they can Jimmy Osbourne - October 2016

Amazing seeing Saturn and its moons as well as distant galaxies! We also loved all the wild swimming opportunities. Trupti Tandon – August 2016

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

I wanted my son to experience the outdoors, away from computer games and TV, and I was not disappointed! Tracey Davies - July 2013

It’s an eco-hotel, which manages fine without air con and is off-grid. You use local services daily, which must benefit the local area. Lisa Williams - August 2017

The hotel is very beautiful and quite rural; very peaceful and good for local adventure type activities but don´t go expecting lively nightlife and shopping! Heather Iqbal-Rayner - July 2015

The property relies on passive design rather than A/C to manage the temperature. Anna Rose - July 2016

Peaceful hotel, good food, beautiful countryside, interesting and varied activities which work for children and adults. Anna McConnell – November 2015

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

We loved the rafting trip. My 7 year old was buzzing from the excitement of jumping off rocks into the river and rafting down the small white water sections. The farm visit was excellent too Tanya Hayes - October 2017

All activities were arranged for us so there was no stress. Philippa McGuinness - April 2014

Lots of the activities were run by locals and the hotel itself could not be much more environmentally friendly! Tanya Hayes - October 2017
