I thought twice as to whether to write a review or not for this hotel as part of me would like to keep it a secret!
What a delightful country hotel. My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Cortijo Escondido where we were given a very warm welcome from Filip and Kim, a young Belgian couple who have worked hard to build and open this small charming hotel. The rooms are spacious, exceptionally clean and all have a terrace. We were given a free upgrade to one of the Luxury rooms which had a terrace with a fantastic view!
The breakfasts - warm bread from the local bakery, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit etc - were served in the small courtyard which is central to all 6 rooms - both shaded and sunny as you please to sit. Evening tapas style meals were also available and although simple and limited in choice, we found them tasty and enjoyable. We also had the BBQ meal one evening, which has to be ordered in advance, but worth it to experience a quiet meal by the pool with a wonderful view and sunset to enjoy at the same time. Thank you also Filip for buying in some rose wine specially for us!
The hotel is situated away from the road - do not be put off by the 2km track you have to drive along to get there ( a bit daunting if you arrive in the dark but otherwise fine) - which means that if you are looking for a relaxing spot to unwind then this is it. If you tire of reading and lazing by the pool then there is also plenty to do in the surrounding areas - we visited local villages, Grazamela natural park, Jerez & Cadiz.
I know we will return again.
