Recommended as a great place to stay we were not disappointed. The accommodation was comfortable and the rooms tastefully decorated and furnished. The communal eating was a bit daunting before we arrived but it was a real pleasure to talk about the day's activities and the deeper things of life. The food is excellent but don't expect to lose weight... more

simply a great place to rest, recharge and recover, pleasantly rural only 40 minutes from malaga airport and you are in real rural spain. Ali and Caroline create a superbly welcoming atmosphere and cannot do enough for you they are the icing on the cake and Carolines wonderful cooking definitely the cherry. more

The location is great if you want tranquility and great views, and there are many places to visit if you have a hire car but there are also walks, quad biking, horse riding etc more locally. The food is just fantastic and whilst we were a little wary of the 'dinner party' approach to meals they turned out to be... more

My husband and I spent two weeks at Cortijo Valverde in August and really could have stayed another two. It is perfect for those who want to get away from it all but who don't want to be completely isolated. There are towns in close proximity and with Malaga only a 45 minute drive away and Marbella an hour you... more

From the moment you arrive you are treated to Ali and Caroline's fantastic hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble, and everything seems to have been thought of. Ali is a font of knowledge about the surrounding area and all the day trips and activities available have been put together for you in a handy guide. The food is unbelievably good... more

My partner and I have just returned from Cortijo Valverde with two friends and had a fantastic time. If you want to get away from package holidays and be treated to some excellent service, in a beautiful part of the world then this is the place to go. We stayed around the pool for 4 days of our holiday. The... more

This was our second visit. Last year we recuperated from a very extensive tour of the north of Spain at Valverde - heaven. It is very difficult to remove yourself from this beautiful place. The hospitality from Ally and Caroline's is second to none and boy can she cook! The rooms are lovely and eating with other guests can be... more

Our second vist to Cortijo Valverde only confirmed what a special place it is. The owners, Ali and Caroline, go the extra mile to ensure your stay is the best it could be. Caroline is a wizard in the kitchen providing top class food from locally sourced ingredients. Ali is an excellent host who provides all the information and advice... more

Reading through the previous reviews it is hard to find the words that do justice to this marvellous little hotel that haven't already been said. My wife and I stayed there for a week and we had to drag ourselves away at the end of our stay. The scenery is beautiful, it's very quiet, the only sounds are the goats... more
