Great place, great food. We loved this place. Ali is the best host. He and his wife make it great. Wold for sure come back. We were on a biking trip but would be a great place to base yourself for day trips to Southern Spain. We had a great time. Ali and his wife really are great host and... More

We have been self catering for the past few holidays so were a little unsure whether we had made the right choice. From the moment we arrived to the warm welcome from Ali and Caroline, we couldn't have been happier.

This is our second time at the Cortijo and as before it was perfect. Caroline and Ali made it just as perfect as last year. We had from 10 people down to 6 round the table but the food and friends were great. Caroline please let me know when the cook book is finished and I will buy it. More

It's difficult to expand on what all the other reviews say, peaceful location, great accommodation, excellent food and beautiful gardens with views over the surrounding mountains and valleys. Caroline and Ali are great hosts, giving fantastic service in an unpretentious and informal way. Before we went we were a bit apprehensive about the dinner party format but it worked well... More

We stayed here because we were looking for a relaxing break. What we got was exactly that, the accommodation was fantastic and the surrounding gardens and pool area were totally peaceful. The hosts (Caroline and Ali) were wondeful and nothing is to much trouble, Ali is a mind of information and not just on the local area and history and... More
