“A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the Sierra de Grazelema.”
The location was perfect to enjoy the peace of the countryside but also the proximity to towns such as Ronda and Grazelema. The staff were wonderful.

After a week of visiting bustling cities, this place was an oasis where we could recharge our batteries for the next leg of the trip. If you have a car, this is the best base for visiting the small villages and cities (like Ronda) that make the Andalusian countryside a delight. We loved the "husbandry": chickens, turkeys, the beautiful horses and, especially, the two cats and Camaron (hope I got the spelling right), the dog 🙂.

“We will be visiting again!”
We liked everything: the spacious room and bathroom, the decor, the peaceful nature surrounding, the clean swimming pool and garden, the beautiful building, the friendly staff and welcoming dog Camarón.

“The best and most beautiful place to stay in the area!”
It feels like coming home to stay here! The hosts are always incredibly welcoming and helpful. As an often solo traveling women I feel safe here. The house is so tastefully decorated and the rooms are cozy, spacious and clean. I have stayed here now for more than 20 times visiting the area for work and coming here makes my work trips so much more relaxing and comfortable!

“Lovely place, with no rules for dog’s owner.”
Location is very nice, easy to find. Beautiful all the surrounding green area. Room very cute. Lots of space to relax. Fair breakfast for what you pay. I suggest a nice cappuccino/coffee machine should be available.

“Traditionally simple but beautiful in every way.”
The location was wonderful, completely quiet and relaxing. No other buildings visible just mountains, fields and trees. The complex itself was traditional and full of art works of all sorts. There was plenty of space to relax privately in the garden and a pool which looked well kept but we didn't use. Our room was beautiful and exceptionally clean. The bed comfortable and bathroom small but adequate. We had the use of a kitchen across the courtyard and breakfast was a self served buffet.

“Charming place & warm welcome”
Tastefully renovated finca, with a lot of attention to detail. Very warm welcome by the owner and super friendly staff. It is a bit remote, but that's why we booked it. The breakfast is in a very charming side building, near the pool. In summer this place must be even more stunning. There was a small misunderstanding about our room when we arrived, but they immediately found a solution and even offered us a nice cup of coffee. Also, I'm in love with their dog. ;-)

“Peace and Tranquillity”
This place is a haven of peace and tranquillity. The farmhouse has been beautifully converted, and the rooms we stayed in are spacious and well equipped. Anderson is the manager who handles the place, including preparing breakfast, etc. His friendly very happy to help and accommodate his guests within what he can. The place sits on the edge of El Bosque Town, and it's a 6-minute drive to local restaurants and the town itself. You can also walk through some beautiful fields on a country lane and see some of the flora and fauna, this might take you 30 minutes at a comfortable pace. I will definitely return as the place is ideal to disconnect and enjoy just relax time. We came in February, so Anderson lit the log fire in the dining room so the men could watch football there. All the rooms have heaters and is very cozy. The outside areas are very well maintained and with good weather perfect place to hang out.
