“Authentic feel and close to everything!”
There was a lot of attention to detail. The rooms and the public areas are all named after local towns and villages, it has an authentic Moorish feel to it even though its not a large property. The owners are very friendly and informative. Outside reception its good know as single women travelling only cardholders can gain access to the property. Large shower. 2 very comfortable beds. Walkable to shops, bars, restaurants, the castle and the beach area.

“Great place to stay in Salobrena”
Great location, close to the city center and the bus station and not too far from the beach. The owners are really welcoming and helpful, offering us very good recommendations; they have even accompanied us to show us the way to a local restaurant and the bus station and they’ve also helped us with ordering a taxi and providing an iron machine. We stayed only for 2 nights however the room was cleaned after the first night, so the cleanliness is highly valued.

“Really helpful owners”
The owners are incredible helpful and kind, when we arrived they gave us lots of really nice recommendations, unfortunately I got food poisoning from something I ate before I arriving there and they really helped us when we most needed. They could even extend our stay by moving some rooms around so we could rest a bit more before we go the plane. I would highly recommend.

“Great location, welcoming hosts and perfect accommodation.”
Great location. Welcoming knowledgeable hosts. Rooms were simple but everything you needed including a small fridge was in the room. We got great advice from Sebastian and Joanna on things to do, where to eat and how to get around. Parking is a bit of pot luck, but you will find something in the vicinity. Worth climbing up to the castle and certainly make sure to eat at La Pesetas or La Roka of an evening. The beach is less than 20 minutes walk away and easy to find.
