Exceptional hospitality of the owners, great view on the mountains, cozy home-alike atmosphere, great food on the spot and doggies wandering around guests. Everything there has this rare human touch I highly recommend :)

Magdalena Poland

Great views, very friendly staff, excellent dinner.

Anonymous Spain

The country side villa is located in the National Park Sierra Nevada with an exceptional view over Granada. You are 20 minutes drive from the old town of Granada. We chose to have the dinner in each evening and it was very good with a fantastic sunset. If you want to serve the dinner we rocommend to annouce the property before 5 pm. Natasha cooked very good! Also you can play with the lovely and friendly golden retrievers dogs, Duna and Logan. We also served each morning a very good home made breakfast.

Daniel Romania

Everything. The views, the people, the homemade breakfast (e.g. bread, yoghurt etc is all made on site), the fragrance of the hotel.

Zain United Kingdom

So relaxing! The view was beautiful, you are right on the edge of the mountains and can just step out of the hotel for long walks and cycles. The food in house was lovely and the highlight was definitely the two golden retrievers!

Anna United Kingdom

The people were so friendly and the dogs were too! Food was great and plentiful. The view and the location are amazing. 1 minute from the door and you are on one of the Sierra Nevadas many trails.

Allan United Kingdom

This place is amazing the view is stunning and the warm welcome is great. We had a nice time and enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfy and shower as well. Please note that when you arrive after 17h the food won't be easy to order only small things best to call them if you still want to eat something

Sabine Germany

it was so clean. the room was very spacious with brilliant view.

Aine United Kingdom

I cannot think of anything to add. Everything perfect. From communication to room comfort. Bordering a massive forest yet only 15 minutes drive to old town. Very quiet.

Franck United States of America

The view from the room overlooking Granada was superb. And only a 15 minute walk away, fab views over the sierra nevada. The evening meal was simple, but delicious. As was the breakfast. Good beds, very lovely hosts, and when you enter the hotel, there is a welcoming and warm feel to the place.
