Our swimming pool has fantastic views of the mountains, and from the guest bedrooms the views are beautiful! We live in a beautiful setting on the hillside above El Chorro valley, in the Parque Natural of Andalucia. The roads are country roads, steep and winding, and our entrance is inclined!! But its ok for cars and small vans to drive down. We offer guests to stay with us and enjoy our communal areas to socialise and quiet getaway areas by the guest bedrooms. Smoking Policy- We allow smoking in the outside areas, our rooms are Non smoking rooms. We welcome everyone from all walks of llife, We love looking after guests!
