It is all perfect: the location, the pool, the room, the food.. The owner Alain is very friendly and he will do anything to make your stay unforgettable. Whenever you want to visit Andalucia: do not hesitate and book a room in this very nice BB, you won't regret...

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!

We discovered Pura Vida on the internet. It is ideally located between Cordoba & Granada.

And what we liked the most, they really do make you feel at ease,... 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
