My stay was superb. In my travel from Madrid to La Costa Del Sol I found this Gem. A family operated hotel in an amazing beautiful area with astonishing views a beautiful sunsets over looking the Sierra Nevada and villages surrounding it. A place full of peace and serenity with excellent home cooked food, especially made for each individual guest. You get to choose from a daily menu that is provided. Than your choice will be cooked especially for you on that day. I stayed for three nights and I didn’t want to leave on my check out day. Pedro, Natacha, Maria Del Carmen and Andrea are all beautiful caring people, they are the ones that hosted my. I now call them family. Pedro provided me with lots information to continue on my travel. I also met other returning guest. One lady I met was her 7th stay. As I will be returning to El Balcón De Nieves a mountain hotel in La Zubia. Thank you to all the staff for a beautiful relaxed stay.

Hotellet er et mindre hotel med ca. 10 værelser, det ligger oppe i bjergene, og der var en fantastisk udsigt, hvor man kunne kigge langt ud og se bjerge og Granada. Hotellet har en mindre svimmingpool, som fungerede efter hensigten. Morgenmaden var ganske fin og med en god kaffe. Vi prøvede hotellets aftenmenu og vin. Det var veltillavet mad og vinen var også god. Det er et hundevenligt hotel, og har man hund, er den meget velkommen.

Kleinschalig hotel in een mooie omgeving om te wandelen met zwembad. Theefaciliteiten op de kamer. Uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet met koffiekoeken, vers brood, zelfgemaakte cakes , verse meloen/ananas, konfituren, charcuterie, vers fruitsap, eieren, pannekoeken. Deze laatste waren koud wat jammer was. De eigenaars hebben 2 grote honden die aandacht zoeken, zodat je niet altijd op je gemak ah zwembad kan zitten. Huisdieren zijn toegelaten, andere familie had 2 hondjes bij die luidruchtig ah blaffen waren. Gelukkig niet tijdens de nacht. Er is ook een restaurant aanwezig, kokkin kan heel lekker koken, menukeuze en reservatie voor 17u is een must.

Das Hotel liegt nicht direkt in der Stadt aber die Aussicht ist unschlagbar. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor allem Natascha war sehr sympathisch. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war auch zufriedenstellend.

The hotel is family ran, and they could have not done more. The breakfast and meals are of great quality. I loved the surrounding area, plenty of interesting walks, and for those shopper try out the Nevada shopping centre, it has everything, modern and plenty of space

Tuvimos un impase cuando llegamos con la reserva ya que hice la reserva para dos niños y dos adultos y al llegar nos dijeron que no tenía habitaciones para 4, ellos arreglaron la hab para nosotros el precio cambio de 109 a 139 la noche. No pareció si ya la reserva estaba hecha por esa cantidad, la atención fue excelente y nos dieron una explicación referente a que era un error de la aplicación.

Das Hotel liegt auf ca. 1250m.Man hat einen super Blick auf Granada und die Sierra Nevada. Bei Ankunft begrüssten uns gleich die 2 Hunde des Gastgebers. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Da wir noch am nächsten Tag zur Alhambra wollten buchte uns der Gastgebers gleich die Tickets. Das Zimmer war im Dachgeschoss mit einem tollen Ausblick. Man konnte im Hotel auch Abendessen bestellen. Leider gab es keine Hauptgerichte, nur Vorspeisen und Desserts. Die Vorspeisen könnten preislich günstiger sein. Sonst hat uns der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen, auch das Frühstücksbuffett(der Joghurt war selbst gemacht und es gab ganz frisch gepressten Orangensaft) war super. Man sass am Pool mit super Aussicht. Wir würden wieder kommen.
