After some busy months we were so ready for a relaxing holiday, and boy, did we get it at Pura Vida. After a warm welcome by Alain, Caroline showed us our beautiful room. Clean, cool and charming. We liked it instantly. The pool at Pura Vida has one of the most astonishing views: olive trees and even more olive trees,... More

As a travel journalist for a Belgian newspaper, I visited many B&B throughout the world. The charm, the tranquility, the luxury and, above all, the warm welcome of Caroline and Masterchef Aloni makes this place a unique experience. We will definitely come back! More

We discovered Pura Vida on the internet. It is ideally located between Cordoba & Granada. (1 hour drive) From the outside, the house does not look very special, but once Alain opens the doors, waw! such a lovely spot! Alain & Caroline renovated the place beautifully! And what we liked the most, they really do make you feel at ease,... More

Very beautiful and relaxing B&B with great view over hills with thousands of olive trees. We stayed here for four nights during our trip through andalucia and enjoyed every minute!! The dinners served by Alain and Caroline were fantastic. The warm, open and relaxing way Alain and Caroline are running their B&B was unique. Would love to come back when... More

At arrival we immediately felt very welcome in this magnificent B&B, located in a small village in Andalusia and surrounded bij olive trees. Caroline and Alain are really the perfect hosts. The rooms are modern and spacious, equipped with air-conditionning and a nice bathroom. The paintings on the wall go very well with the overall modern style of the interior.... More

We made our booking in Casa Pura Vida through their website. It was the start of a wonderful experience, already through our email communication the owners made us feel very welcome, and we were not disappointed! We were welcomed with open arms and felt immediately at home. The B&B is really gorgeously located, in the middle of thousands olive trees.... More

Very much enjoyed my 6 days at Pura Vida. The place is quite new and the room was very modern and cosy (nothing stuffy or old fashioned here). Cool en suite bathroom and a great bed. There's a full size swimming pool and a number of terraces and a garden to enjoy the view of the surrounding valley (just the... More

Arriving at Pura Vida was like walking into a different world. The beauty of the location combined with the class of this little gem was everything I needed to be reassured I made the right choice with my booking. The rooms are very spatious and tastefully designed and it is the attention to detail - like the enourmous walk-in showers... More
