Set amongst stunning scenery in the South of Spain, this hotel country house is the perfect relaxing holiday destination. Bordering the national park of Los Alcornocales, the traditionally furnished house offers unparalleled views over the Straits of Gibraltar and Morocco. Within easy reach are the unspoilt beaches of Zahara, ancient Roman ruins in Bolonia and cosmopolitan Tarifa, renowned for wind and kite surfing.

The area is rich in nature, ornithology and the countryside provides a wealth of opportunities to walk, climb, ride and explore its vantage points.

The owners have extended their home to welcome you. They want to offer you as much attention or space as you need to enjoy your holiday. In order to help you relax completely, a blend of massage, Reiki and Cranio – Sacral Therapy is on offer (ITEC Qualified).

It is a tranquil country house, magnificently situated on the edge of the vast Los Arcornocales National Park. The views across the Straits of Gibraltar to the mountains of Morocco are unparalleled. An ever changing palette of light and colour creates an inspirational haven for writers and artists.

The hotel roughly translates to ‘ kitchen garden terrace”. Set in 3 acres, seven terraces offer areas of sanctuary and beauty. Relax under the shade of the cork trees or sunbathe by fragrant mimosa. Towering palms, fresh vegetables, vibrant flowers, fig, orange and pear trees enrich the lush grounds. The pool is constantly replenished with fresh spring water that descends from the mountainous backdrop.

The main house offers three ensuite double bedrooms that cater on a bed and breakfast basis. The ground floor room has its own entrance and outside secluded reading area. The upstairs rooms look out to open skies and the continent of Africa. Rooms have been furnished in a simple and comfortable manner, calm colours, soft fabrics and traditional furniture. All of the water supplied to our rooms is freshly drawn from our own spring.

Set alone in the grounds, the Casita sleeps two and offers privacy away from the main house with its own terrace. Watch the golden light of the afternoon sun catch the mountains across the Straits, and as night falls under a starlit sky the twinkling lights of morocco highlight the coastline. Comfortably furnished it provides guests with the choice of self-catering for longer stays.
