Great apartment in a beautiful location. We loved using the swimming pool and the outside areas. Very friendly hosts.

Location and staff

Very quiet & peaceful. Central to important cultural destinations. Good mountain trails. Friendly and hospitable owners.

Rural location in the olive groves, you can pretty much walk in any direction and enjoy the countryside and the views.

For the benefit of other travellers, I would have wanted to know that accommodation is a lot darker than the pictures suggest. I had to move a bedside lamp to try and brighten the lounge area. It was also unusually cold for end of October, quite high in the mountains, and the heating wasn’t great. You need to light a fire but have to pay a (small) fee for the wood. Showers not great and small details like doors don’t close unless locked.

A beautiful hilltop cortijo with incredible views for miles across olive groves and a lovely swimming pool (which was crucial in baking hot August days). We loved the sense of tranquility - you barely hear a noise, apart from the odd cockerel crowing from from the valley. We also loved the sense of space, both in the cortijo and grounds itself and the surrounding countryside. There’s a lovely large terrace, too, in front of all the apartments, where we enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners.

Nothing! Only little suggestion - some basic cleaning products and washing up liquid would have been helpful. The interiors of the houses (well ours certainly, which was La Huerta) are very rustic - dark wood furniture, old fashioned shower etc - but that’s in keeping with the style and location of the property and it was very spacious, clean and comfortable.

A very quiet location in a picturesque landscape. A beautiful property with all amenities needed, tastefully decorated in keeping with property. Staff were very nice, a real family feel. Dog friendly with lots of countryside for morning and evening walks. Pool was a very welcome bonus in the July heat. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

We would have liked more private outdoor space to sit of an evening. Evening meal was very welcome after travelling but we would have preferred a more Spanish offering and eating times. It was home cooked and very nice. Thank you!

We had a great time at this place, everything was PERFECT! The hotel is embedded in the midst of olive trees and you’re surrounded by nature and tranquility. Very warm and friendly team, delicious food (breakfast and also dinner), nice pool, beautiful and clean rooms etc.!! We definitely will come back sometime!

Beautiful place

More places to hang clothes, shower not great

Lovely and quiet place, very nice hosts. Kids loved swimming pool. Beds were comfortable but a bit to small for a tall person;)

Few things were broken in the apartment.

We had an amazing experience staying in this place. What sets this place apart is not just the accommodations themselves, but the beautiful surroundings on the edge of the Sierras Subbéticas. We stayed in a beautiful old "cortijo" that was situated amidst a vast expanse of olive groves. One of the highlights was a stunning pool that provided breathtaking views. Furthermore, there are two outdoor dining areas where you can enjoy your own meal or savor the delectable dishes prepared by Cathryn - La Directora de Cortija La Presa. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway away from busy tourist cities, this destination is the perfect place for you. Initially, we intended to use this location as a starting point to explore Cordoba and Granada. However, we were pleasantly surprised by its charm and decided to stay here instead. We spent our time exploring the nearby small towns. We would love to come back here when it's less hot and finally explore Cordoba and Granada.... Regarding practical matters, our apartment, which was designed for four people, was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The air conditioning functioned efficiently and quietly, but we hardly needed to use it. During the night, we could open the windows and indulge in the fresh air outside. Moreover, the apartment was immaculately clean.

It would be convenient to have a tea pot, iron, and ironing board available. It is important to not leave any food out as it may attract ants, although this is a common occurrence in a rural Cortijo setting.

Stayed for 2 night in Feb. the hosts are so friendly and helpful, more than happy to share knowledge of area with great recommendations too! Cortijo and grounds are beautiful!! even when you have to defrost the car before leaving! We ate in the restaurant which was lovely and very well priced. The breakfast hamper was enough for 4 people. Really enjoyable stay!! Definitely recommend!!

nothing!
