Vincente and Pepa's property totally exceeded our expectations. It looks even better in person than in the photos. The house was big, comfy and spotlessly clean. It is about a 10/15 minute walk from all of Aracena's lovely restaurants and attractions but far enough away to be peaceful and calm in a rural setting. The house is on quite a big piece of land with a resident pig, chickens and donkeys - this was perfect for our 2 year old daughter who loved exploring and feeding the pig and donkey. You also have fabulous views of the castle and we enjoyed sitting on the patio, eating dinner and watching the sun go down. Vincente and Pepa were helpful and accommodating, providing a bed for our daughter free of charge and ensuring the pool was cleaned regularly. We will definitely be coming again :)
Everything about this place was amazing. The staff was super accommodating. Our rooms were great with super comfortable beds. Absolutely everything exceeded our expectations. We stayed in few places on Spain and by far this was our favourite. I must add that you have eat at the restaurant which is part of this hotel. We had the best food – unbelievable – loved it. Can’t wait to come back 😊.
The Finca is very good and enjoyable for a stay. The apartment rooms have two individual rooms, bedroom and living room with a kitchenette. There is also a fireplace making it comfy in wintertimes. The owner is very nice and helpful if you need some support. The location is good centrally for hiking or whatever you do in the area.
Charming and wonderful property.
Check in needed Google translate, but all was completed. Fantastic communal area in the old mill house.
Very comfortable room and the delightfully cool pool was welcome after a hot day.
Excellent restaurant a 5 minute walk away (Lieva).
I stayed for one night and I am very satisfied. The location is perfect for those who want to stay in total tranquility. The environment is very clean, and everything you need for cooking is available. Parking is free, and the hosts are very approachable and friendly.
Lovely purpose built hotel in a wonderful location with nature and bird singing. Very relaxing.
Spacious room with a nice outdoor space. Swimming pool open.
Delicious dinner and breakfast and great hotel owners!!

As stated, having stayed there even solo in the past, was a bit disappointed that the twin room was so tight. Fantastic staff more than compensated but I think as a former client, a little bit of speciality would have gone a long way. Still LOVE the place, so special.

The accommodation was very quiet.
The accommodation was very quiet. It was based on a lovely old olive mill. The proprietor was very welcoming and showed me around before taking me to my room. The only downside was the local town which was a little down at heel. The property could not, however, be faulted.

Very nice and comfortable rooms!
Very nice and comfortable rooms! Unfortunately we did not have a room with a view, it was a bit dark but for 1 night it was great. I can recommend it for business stays! The hotel does not offer breakfast.

Small city in Andalusia surrounded by nature, close to many other whitewashed villages with a rich history, very cute to spend some time to walk in there and eat good food with reasonable price.
The area is full of beautiful hiking paths. If you're looking to connect with nature, it is one of the good options.

Alajar is a beautiful, remote Spanish village.
Alajar is a beautiful, remote Spanish village. A few local grocery shops and bars. A great base to go hiking from. Hardly anywhere to eat in the evenings though. We had a great evening meal at Posada de San Marcos where Lucy really looked after us and sorted out our transport for the following days' hike.

We did not see the caves but walked up to the castle nearby for the view. At the same site one can view the dark sky at midnight. The local tourist office is not manned by knowledgeable people but provided some useful brochures and postcards.

We enjoyed the trip on the little train round the city centre. We also loved the Gruta (caves/grotto) and castle and grounds. Very easy to walk around, everything is within10-15 minutes walking distance. The walk up to the castle may be a little steep for some people but take your time and you will be ok.

Almonaster la Real is a beautiful village that we first visited around twenty years ago. It is set in a landscape of wooded hills with good opportunities for walking. Set on a hill above the village is the castle, bullring and the mezquita. the latter dates from the late ninth or early tenth centuries although it includes details recycled from the earlier Roman and Visigothic periods. It is a haven of peace and simple beauty. There area few bars and restaurants but, possibly because of the pandemic, there were very limited opportunities for eating in the evening except for Fridays and Saturdays.

Loved that all the buildings were white washed and of uniform size. No carbuncles. Only spoilt by a massive Barcelo Hotel dominating one of the hills. The person allowing it to be built there should be shot or at least give his back-hander back.....
It is a must to visit the Caves and the Castle/Church. Entrance price very reasonable.
A lot to choose from when deciding where to eat.
A lot of places however were very unfriendly to you if you had dogs with you.
