As per other reviews, like a mini penthouse with varied spaces available. Colin is genuinely committed to ensuring guest are well cared for and happy to give recommendations. I was a tad concerned about parking, lots of free available.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Our host was very friendly and helpful; our room was very clean and comfortable; and the location was excellent for visiting the castle and old town.

Nothing.

Colin was a fabulous host, very helpful with advice on where to find things in town, ideas for places to visit etc. His house is beautiful and the apartment and courtyard was perfect for us. We would definitely recommend to others and we would personally stay again.

Colin is a splendid host, so sweet and kind, I wish I could spend more time talking to him. The house is cozy and comfortable, it's a traditional home in the historical center that Colin renovated with love and care. It is extremely clean and I loved Colin's attention to all the details to guarantee the best experience. I totally recommend it!

After a long day of cycling, The Jasmine House was a true oasis. The room is far more spacious than I had expected, and the host is very welcoming and kind. It's also peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend it!

Location is terrific, just below the church and the castle (which offers spectacular 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape. Colin (host) is a real genuine guy who will ensure your stay is thoroughly enjoyable - almost your own personal infotainment system too !! House is a traditional Spanish family home that's had some remarkable upgrades and modernisation - the two main bathrooms could be straight out of a modern day showroom. Located in a traditional Spanish village that is steeped in history. At almost the top of the hill you'll also be kept fit whilst your wandering around the local area. A locally owned mini market is just across the street where it is possible to purchase a whole range of products, at local prices too. It was like stepping over the threshold into a land that inflation forgot... All in all this place offers exceptional value for your £ money, 3 days wasn't enough for us to properly absorb the surroundings.. I sincerely hope we can get the chance to visit here again and stay a little longer next time.

Nothing! The house is great, with a lovely shady patio to enjoy as you please.

What a lovely room, with added bonus of a private sitting room and en-suite facilities. A very traditional feel with a modern twist which worked so well. Colin thought of everything and provided a home from home atmosphere which we loved.

Good location, easy to find parking. Beautiful house, beautifully furnished, and with a really nice patio. Very comfortable bed. Colin (the host) is incredibly sweet and attentive. Great place to stay if you’re passing by Olvera!!

Rather park your car in da the street 300 m away. Owner is really Nice, but would be nicer if app. Is only mine during the stay.

Close to the castle (must be visited). The owner and his suggestions for tapas.

An apartment in an old building in Andalusia has its "quirks", which may seem strange to people from other parts of the world. But that's just how it is, and it must be accepted. I want to point out the lack of a window in the main bedroom (that's how buildings were constructed in the past) and the common practice in all the places we stayed in Andalusia - the necessity of disposing of paper in the trash bin rather than the toilet. These are things over which Colin, as a host, has no control and should not be held responsible for. However, it's worth mentioning them because they may seem unusual and unfamiliar to some.

The undeniable and unquestionable advantage of this place is its host - Colin. Nowhere else have we encountered such a warm and heartfelt welcome as in his home. He provided us with very detailed information not only about how this place operates and what rules we should follow but also recommended many interesting places to see both in the nearby area and throughout Andalusia. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and sufficiently abundant. Additionally, the access to water, coffee, and tea throughout the entire stay was a plus.

?the weather?

Location? I don't think you could do any better in Olvera- At the top of the main street and right below the castle. As an added bonus there is even a small but well stocked food/ drink shop right opposite. Host lives on site and that made arrival easy. Very knowledgeable and helpful with travel ideas etc. This feels like a friendly place, great experience.... Be aware: This is a heritage building- if looking for 5star standard, better stay out of town. The host here is making 5 stars out of providing a stay in somewhere very special and friendly....

Colin has really thought everything through here, it’s a lovely property with a very welcoming host! Incredible value for money. Would definitely stay again if visiting Olvera. Perfect location and a stunning house

The bathroom was not in the room. But that was explained prior to booking.

A simple guest house but very comfortable near the church and castle. Very helpful Scottish host made so welcome we had use of the dining room with fridge, we were even offered a free beer.

Can't think of anything

My wife and I spent a week at the Jasmine House in Olvera. It was a very enjoyable experience. Colin helped us with our suitcases on our arrival, and then took us to our room and showed us around. The bed was very, very comfortable (top notch mattress), and the room was very clean and quiet, which is exactly what we wanted! We had a private bath and a nice sitting room by the bedroom. Just across the bedroom was a dining room with a fridge at our disposal. All was squeaky clean. There was no TV in the room, which we did not miss at all as we can watch all TDT channels on our tablet or laptop by streaming. There is WiFi in the B&B, with excellent connectivity. There is also a nice indoor patio, where you can sit and relax. The Jasmine House is very close to both the Olvera Church and castle, and across the B&B there is a supermarket. The day we arrived we found parking about 50 m downhill from the Jasmine House. All other days we chose to park in Calle Mercado (about 200 meters away) as there is consistently more parking available. A very recommendable B&B, which is run by a very pleasant host (thanks for all, Colin!).

I had such a great stay at The Jasmine House! Colin was a brilliant host, never obtrusive but really attentive, friendly and interesting to chat to with lots of local recommendations. The house was beautifully clean, in a central location, and had lots of unique touches and lovely artwork. Breakfast was really good too! Highly recommend.

It was evident that Colin really made a great effort to make sure the guests have a wonderful stay, he really cares! Everything was great and we would not hesitate to visit again!

Beautiful traditional Spanish house. Spotlessly clean. Colin the owner was extremely helpful and very welcoming. Lovely double room and charming patio to relax in with a glass of wine or beer. I would highly recommend a stay here and will hopefully return someday.

Colin is an exceptional host. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He even walked with us to be sure we could find dinner on an evening where many spots were closed.

There was not a single thing that I did not like.

Colin was a superb host! He went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience at The Jasmine House and Olvera. He even offered me an upgrade to add to my comfort. I originally planned to stay one night but because I quickly felt right at home, I asked if I could stay an additional night. Colin is an interesting and insightful person, we got along great. Honestly, I fell in love with The Jasmine House and Olvera! I hope to return soon and I highly recommend this gem!
