"A truly lovely place to stay. Overlooking a beautiful valley north of Malaga, this new property is a treat. The room was spotless and beautifully designed. The bed was extremely comfortable. The food was delicious. I was quite sad that I only spent one night there as I had to fly out the next morning. If/when I return to the area I would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend!"

The pool area is nice and relaxing and positioned to receive sun most of the day - a great place to relax after a hike. The breakfast courtyard might be my favorite - very serene, comfortable, beautifully decorated - a great place not only for breaktfast, but also to read a book, write, etc. The...
