This
Cortijo is a country hotel located
in the heart of Andalucia. Only
12km. from the picturesque town
of Ronda, in the Natural Park
of Grazalema, the Cortijo allows
visitors to explore a great variety
of natural environments, both
on the property grounds as well
as the surrounding areas.
Their
guests will enjoy vacationing
in a centuries-old building,
a magnificent example of an authentic
Andalusian farmhouse converted
into a family run country hotel.
The varying greens of Mediterranean
woods, the brilliant white of
the walls and the clear blue
of the sky, exude both peace
and an unmistakable andalusian
flavor.
Beautiful
patios and gardens surround the
house offering cozy nooks for
the guests to relax in harmony
with nature. Centenarian trees
and a variety of aromatic plants
provide cool shade, colours and
aromas while we take walks, swim
or sunbathe. In the evening,
in the gardens near the threshing
floor, we can enjoy spectacular
sunsets beyond Grazalema.
The
Cortijo extends for gorgeous
grounds where you can go on long
walks during the day or evening.
Wheat and sunflower fields, woods
of holm-oaks and gall oaks where
cattle graze freely, cork trees
in production and a small stream,
are a sampling of almost all
of the surroundings typical of
the area.
The
Cortijo also offers its guests
different garden areas and a
pool allowing you to swim and
refresh yourself while enjoying
the splendid views. Inside the
house, a hall with fireplace
offers you a comfortable and
relaxing place to read by the
fire, or have a drink at the “Honesty
bar”. Ancient wooden beams,
wide stone walls and elegant
furniture are the perfect backdrop
for your days of rest. The dining
room has been constructed on
a porch with a big terrace for
warmer days and evenings.
The
Cortijo offers its guests 8 double
sleeping rooms, all with central
heating and private bathroom and
terrace. The rooms are spacious,
cozy and equipped with all the comforts
necessary to make the traveler’s
stay unforgettable.
The
décor has been done with
great care, combining family-style
furniture with modern comforts.
The furniture, the paintings,
the details, the cloth and the
colours all combine to offer
a different sense of harmony
in each room. And in all of them
abundant natural light is the
main theme with generous outdoors
windows, even in the bathrooms.
There
are two connecting rooms for
families or friends who would
like that option. With the desire
to adapt to any manner of needs,
we offer the possibility of setting
up extra beds and baby cots.
The
terraces have views of the garden
and a splendid panorama of the
countryside. Two of the rooms
have a lovely Andalusian patio
with a fountain, offering refreshing
coolness even on the hottest
days. It is just one of the pleasant
nooks that our guests will discover
and enjoy during their days of
rest at the Cortijo.
Activities: The Park of Grazalema is declared
a Reserve of the Biosphere by
UNESCO and a Zone for Special
Protection of Birds (ZEPA). The
variety of migratory birds and
especially those of prey – eagles,
falcons, owls or vultures - makes
this area of special and unique
interest for birders.
Throughout
the mountains of Ronda and the
Grazalema Park, an extensive
network of signed pathways allows
for hiking through gorgeous landscapes
of great environmental value:
on foot, by mountain bike or
on horse. We offer all the necessary
information and, if you would
like, we will gladly get you
in touch with an expert guide
for walking or agencies for organized
activities: hot air balloon rides,
horse-riding, mountain-bikes,
canoeing, etc.
The legendary city of Ronda is
only 12km from us: the mysterious
streets of the old city, the
monuments and the cliff of 100
meters are all must-sees.
The mountains around offer very special places such as the Genal Valley -with
its craggy mountains and chestnuts woods-, the White Villages –more than
25 examples of Andalusian simplicity, beauty and joy-, or the Pileta Cave -with
prehistoric paintings. We offer all the necessary information to enjoy these
routes and more.
Thanks to the Cortijos central location in Andalusia, their guests can comfortably
and easily access the Costa del Sol - 50km away, specially attractive for sea
and golf lovers-, cities such us Sevilla, Malaga, Jerez, Granada, Cordoba Cadiz
or Gibraltar -all within a two hours drive- and many other places of great
natural value
