I visited in the first week in March. It was colder than I expected (daytime highs of 11-16C). I was primarily interested in hiking and booked a rental car. Aracena is close to all the hikes in my guidebook so I only encountered the town itself in the evening getting groceries and finding restaurants. As always with Spain, it's so frustrating that no restaurants open until 8.30pm, some have "days off" which are not announced and many, even in March, were entirely closed. One really needs a local to help navigate where to eat. Having said that, it's incredible value for money. Dinner with wine for 20 Euros (March 2024).

Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises.
Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises. The people are friendly and the town is clean and safe. Be sure to visit the Gruta de la Maravillas, a network of caves with wonderful stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Also, the pork in Aracena is to die for. It's the land of Jabugo, the best dried ham in the world.

Although the apartment looked to be placed far away, it was close to the center by walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and friendly as well. We would have liked to stay much longer than expected, we spent only a night there though.

Aracena is a picturesque town in a protected natural park setting. It is an excellent base for hiking and has numerous world class restaurants with most specializing in local ingredients including world famous Iberian pork products. Although people of Seville spent their leisure time here historically, it is only starting to get recognized in other parts of Spain and Europe. It is a true hidden gem and a must visit in Spain.

We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and could have asked for a more beautiful place to stay - the staff we friendly and attentive, the room was lovely and the bed’s comfy. The spa was an amazing experience and the treatments the best I have had. We will be back!
We arrived in Aracena by bus and were met by Luis who took us to the Casita . The small Casita has a rustic feel being just out of town and has been quirkily decorated by Louis’s wife.We felt very at home here as a base for walks in this beautiful area.The pellet boiler kept us warm in the evenings and the house was well equipped. We didn’t have a car so it was 1 or 2 k to the start of walks but we enjoyed our stay including the caves in Aracena.
This former convent was charming and historic and cool in the unbearable heat. It is well located within this small town, with parking facilities, welcoming staff, quiet and visually pleasing exterior and cloisters. The room was spacious and clean, with an enormous very comfortable bed, and lovely bathing products. The swimming pool is clean with good shaded seating areas, a bar, and lovely surrounds. The buffet breakfast is delightful.
Yerba was so helpful with parking, grocery shopping, dining and general tourist advice for the town and the surrounding villages of the sierra. Check in was professional and when our kettle worked a new one was delivered later that day. The pool and garden are very beautiful and relaxing and the whole area of the complex is kept immaculately.
It was small but comfortable, the beds were good and the bathroom worked good for us everything was there what we needed. The property is very nice and quiet and safe. The location was good, right in centre and there was free street parking available. The bedroom and bathroom is on the second level.
Comfortable apartment in a recently renovated building right in the center of Aracena. Check-in and communication with the host were smooth. The kitchen is compact but served us well, and we enjoyed the central location, with restaurants and a nice bakery just around the corner.
We liked the friendly welcome and the kind help indicating how to get to all the attractions. Parking was easy , just opposite the hotel and there was excellent coffee the next morning in the hotel's own coffee bar. The location was perfect to walk everywhere.
Our host was exceptional: knowledgeable, attentive and exceedingly accommodating. He has transformed his beautiful family home into a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this property to anyone exploring the Sierra de Aracena area.
Large, well appointed room with lots of storage, great views of the town, comfortable bed and pillows, large bathroom with separate w.c. Breakfast options were great. Free motorcycle parking on level ground opposite the front doors.
Room lovely, very clean, warm and welcoming. Shared kitchen and dining room was great especially as I'm vegan so eating out in Spain is difficult. Miguel also looked after our bags on the day we checked out.
Best hotel in Aracena, the property is unique and well mantained.
The beds are extremely confortable.
Spa & breakfast were spot on.
One of the best hotel breakfast I had in Spain.
My parents stayed here for 4 nights when they came to visit us in Aracena. They loved their room, especially the views from the terrace. And my mum said the bath was great.
