Our property is a rustic old spanish Finca, we have set it up as a rural Hostal style Bed and Breakfast with Camping. We have a communal dining room and terrace, 5 individual guest bedrooms, and a seperate dormitory/apartment. We live in a beautiful setting on the hillside above El Chorro valley, in the Parque Natural of Andalucia. Our swimming pool has fantastic views of the mountains, and from the guest bedrooms the views are beautiful! We live onsite and offer guests to stay with us and enjoy our communal areas to socialise and quiet getaway areas by the guest bedrooms. We love looking after guests and we are different! See our reviews on Trip Advisor to get an idea about us.
We are a family of 4, Gary, Melanie and our son and daughter Aimee and Lewis, and we like to socialise with our guests. We enjoy health and fitness activities, we are non smokers, and we love our pets 3 dogs and 5 cats!
El Chorro is a great area for outdoor activities. The most famous thing to do here is climbing, the Via Ferrata, and to walk the Caminito Del Rey, the high walkway around El Chorro Gorge. We can also arrange horse trekking and Kayaking at Ardales Lakes. We can arrange a guide for climbing, Via Ferrata, hiking and mountain biking. The scenery is stunning and the climbing and mountain biking are some of the best routes in Southern Spain!
