Excellent comfortable stay with a friendly host.

We really liked the modern contemporary look inside the property whilst keeping the traditional look on the outside. It was also centrally located.

Lovely property, unfortunately raining throughout our stay, so we didn't see it at its best.

Small but lovely room overlooking the main square in this beautiful whitewashed mountain town. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Even had Netflix which was a bonus as it was raining heavily during our stay.

Maurice really went above and beyond to be an excellent host. I would highly recommended a stay here, we were made to feel so welcome, breakfast was superb and Maurice really could not have been a better host! The town is beautiful and we did several amazing hikes directly from the residence, up in the mountains. Easy to walk to local restaurants too!

The room is rather small. The terrace is fine with a great view on the square. You can find a free parking in the village on +/-300 m of the place. Breakfast every day different and tastefull. Not suitable for people who can not walk with their luggage and climb on the rather steep stair.

Good value for an overnight stay in Cómpeta and Maurice was an excellent host .

Unfortunately it rained the morning we were there so we were given vouchers for a basic breakfast for a local cafe nearby . No fault of the owners as with breakfast normally served on the rooftop patio it was the only option unfortunately.

Enjoy Andalusia at its finest.

Enchanting Competa is stunningly complemented by this stylish boutique hotel. Maurice delivers a warm, friendly and bespoke experience. The hotel exceeds expectations and delivers unique access to the many charms of this special Andalusian town. Book early & secure rooms with views of the square. We whole heartedly recommend you join Maurice in Competa.

Unbeatable Atmosphere in the Heart of Cómpeta

Almijara Residence feels like a slice of calm right in the soul of Cómpeta. Tucked beside the old church on the lively Plaza Almijara, you’re immersed in the village’s rhythm—morning coffee chatter, soft church bells, and golden sunsets over the rooftops. It’s atmospheric, authentic, and utterly charming. The rooftop is a standout—both for the panoramic views and the amazing breakfasts. Rooms are stylish and spotless. While some are compact and small, they’re still comfortable. But what really makes this place shine is the warm, friendly and personal welcome from Maurice. His energy add a personal touch. So, if you’re after real Andalusian atmosphere—this is it.
