As noted by another commenter, the hotel is nice but there is absolutely no adequate service. We wanted to go hiking in the hills and wanted some help with routes but the only person around was on his cellphone and did not seem interested in speaking to us at all. When we came back at night there was no one... More

Nice traditional room with big terrace balcony where we enjoyed the view on the Alpujarras and star sky at night. It is a bit of a drive outside of Capileira, but well worth it! Quiet and rural environment, nice host and you can start one of the nicest hikes from the hotel. There's also a small swimming pool if you... More

The setting is gorgeous, overlooking a valley and surrounded by mountains. The room was quite rustic... More

Having come up from the 'costa' this was like stepping back in time. Everything was authentic from the architecture and winding mountain roads to the friendliness and pace of life. The hotel is above the village, reached by a track that had been damaged by floods last winter and was nearly fully repaired. The setting is incredible and the views... More

Undoubtedly the views are unsurpassed, they are magnificent, however, the hotel itself needs some work. Starting with the driveway which is almost unpassable by car, there was no check in desk, a gentleman followed the car & showed us where to park, got a key and let us into the room, which was full of flies. Why didn't they think... More
