One of Andalusia’s best-kept secrets: terracotta hills stretching into wide open views, cacti, the occasional palm tree, and a handful of small whitewashed villages scattered across the terrain. And then there is the sea, where a wide variety of beaches are idyllic and still wonderfully peaceful. This lovely adults-only B&B has just four comfortable rooms, a beautiful swimming pool, the most welcoming hosts and views that will make you want to stay much longer than you planned. A perfect base for lazy mornings, long walks and evenings spent in the tapas bar in the nearest village.
Just an hour from Málaga, I discovered a hidden gem in Andalusia: a lovingly restored townhouse in a white mountain village. Here, craftsmanship, authenticity and comfort come together, and life naturally slows down. A place with a soul, where you don’t just stay, but truly become part of the village. A true Local Hideaway.
The surrounding area of Granada is a fairytale of pretty villages and stunning countryside, a true paradise for walkers and nature lovers. A perfect base for both visiting the city (half an hour’s drive) and enjoying the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada is this charming boutique eco-hotel. Beautiful, comfortable rooms, a lovely garden with a refreshing pool and a delicious, super-sized breakfast.
A beautiful old Andalusian estate, including chapel, large patio and stables was transformed into a fantastic hideaway. And only half an hour from Granada. Spanish life is delightful at this Cortijo and I definitely recommend spending a few days here, to unwind but also to explore the beautiful surroundings!
