Celine and Julien were looking for slow living with their family… a Hideaway under the sun where they felt at home, surrounded by nature but not too far from the city. And so they found a fantastic old Mas, Catalan farmhouse, where they could realise their dream. A fine guesthouse where you can relax and where the senses are opened up. But where there is also plenty of room for Celine’s wonderful cooking, because this passion certainly finds its place here with a selection of fresh herbs, edible flowers and as many 0-km products as possible.
In a tiny village in the Empordà, there is a surprise hidden behind a pale green door. If you didn’t know it, you would walk right past it. But once inside you will be surprised by all the space and a beautiful garden. This is where South African Johan and Sandy have housed their small-scale B&B. Only 7 rooms, varying from a spacious suite to a small double room.
The sympathetic guesthouse of the Dutch Madeline and Gerard is situated in a beautiful part of Andalusia. Not too far from the coast, close to Malaga and Ronda. A paradise for hikers and for those seeking tranquility in the low season but also during the school holidays a wonderful place to be with kids. Swimming pool, garden and rooms that are easy to prepare for a stay with your offspring and/or several families are the perfect ingredients!
I have a new happy place… a place where I have set my heart on having my own Hideaway – Casa Cubista in Sedella. It is located in the Axarquía, the area east of Malaga. Not yet very well known and it has everything: sea, mountains, nature, a wonderful microclimate and a choice of white villages. Because I now spend so much time in this part of Andalusia, I came across this striking guesthouse, located in the neighbouring village. Contemporary, comfortable, affordable and a super deluxe breakfast… an absolute insider tip!
