Dear Stuart, thank you for your nice words. Yes, the Cortijo del Marqués has the best of both worlds... it's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by beautiful countryside and at the same time it's only 25 minutes to the center of Granada. We look forward to welcoming you both back here soon!

Fantastic hotel and location
We stayed here 5 nights and had a wonderful relaxing time. The hotel is in tranquil location, only the birds can be heard singing, there are wonderful views over the olive groves with the mountains in the distance. The owners were so friendly and helpful. They take such an interest in their guests, ensuring that everything is to your satisfaction. They suggested places to visit and things to do, nothing was too much trouble. We ate at the hotel every night, the food was absolutely fantastic, there also is an excellent range of wines. We would highly recommend this place for service, location and relaxing.

Great place to relax, delicious food (good variety, good chief), all rooms have character, staff are uniformly excellent and it is clearly a family affair. You could easily use it as your base for Granada (we didnt), and three nights did not feel too long. Minor drawbacks? none

The most beautiful and serene place we have ever stayed at in all our travels to Europe! The beauty and serenity envelopes guests from the moment they arrive, and the owners welcome you and take care of every detail to ensure a truly wonderful experience as their guests!! Our room was impeccably decorated ( the whole property inside and out is as well), and the dining experiences for each meal throughout the day was perfectly prepared and presented. I have food allergies and also am gluten free, and Silvia agave special attention that my dining options were taken care of each day with such professionalism and thoughtfulness. Every staff member we interacted with each day were so very kind and friendly which further enhanced our experience. I would highly recommend this hotel without hesitation…our 3 night stay exceeded our expectations! We hope to return in the future!!

This is a wonderful rural hotel in an historic, beautiful building. It is in the midst of lovely countryside north of Granada.

Unbelievable setting
The hotel is in a stunning location, surrounded by coloured fields, olive groves and mountains, which make for the most amazing views. Our room (The Pigeon Loft) was perfect, very much our taste. A totally unique space, just the right mix of rustic/rural and luxury style. A huge room with incredible views, everything we needed. All the staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially in the restaurant. The food was all delicious, not too over the top and pretentious, just extremely good quality, delicious food. The wine was also great. The two owners, Eilko and Silvia were very friendly and helpful, they have clearly worked very hard to set up something quite unique and they have succeeded! Thank you for a great stay, we hope to return one day.

The Cortijo is a hidden jem and a place to unwind
We were made very welcome by the owners and loved our bedroom overlooking the courtyard of this old monastery. The views from the hotel over Granada to the snowy Sierra Nevada were spectacular. The food in the restaurant was first rate too and fresh bread and orange juice in the morning. We will be back.

Stunning, welcoming and peaceful
It was breathtakingly beautiful!! When we approached the hotel along the road we stopped the car to admire the view. I would definitely stay at the hotel again but you would need a car to get there I think as it is off the beaten track for most holiday makers. The owners and staff were extremely welcoming with directions about how to find it and the best way to get to Granada. When i woke in the morning i watched the sun rise over the mountains and it was so peaceful. The plants and orange trees all add to the wow factor. The breakfast was ample and the public area to sit was very comfortable around the fire. I can't really recommend this place enough, but i hope to stay there again one day! As you can get married there, i think if i ever meet Mr Right, it'd be on my list of locations!

A truly wonderful place...
An absolutely beautiful location and wonderful staff. The estate is stunning and we are planning to go back already. There were small things that weren't prefect like the shower hose had a leaky hole in it and and I found some hairs in the bathroom but that's nothing, the experience was so wonderful, we loved being there. Also, considering what we've paid for other hotels I feel that the fees here are more than reasonable.

We hebben ondanks het slechte weer een fijn verblijf gehad. Hartelijk ontvangen, en het inchecken verliep vlotjes. Het is een mooie locatie, in een mooie omgeving. Aangrenzend aan het pand staan nog wel wat oude schuren welke nog niet opgeknapt/gesloopt zijn. Hierdoor heb je niet vanuit ieder raam een mooi uitzicht. Kamers zijn mooi groot en netjes. Omdat het een wat ouder pand is zie je dit wel terug, maar dit heeft ook zijn charme. Helaas door de vele regenval hadden we lekkage in onze kamer. Dit werd opgelost door een gratis diner te geven. Helemaal super natuurlijk. ontbijt is prima. Genoeg keuze, voor ieder wat wils. Wij hebben iedere dag ook gedineerd in het restaurant, Ze werken met een dag menu. Indien je hiervan iets niet lekker vind, kun je dit op verzoek laten wijzigen. We vonden het eten erg verrassend en gevarieerd. Verder zijn de gastheer en gastvrouw heel behulpzaam en attent,

Very romantic place
A quiet, romantic and very beautiful place. Undoubtedly it is an unforgettable and incredible experience. The only thing we did not like was that there was no fridge in the room and when we asked for an ice bucket to cool the water that had been left in the room the staff kindly explained that it was not possible. With +30 degrees outside it was nice to get to the room and have a cool drink of water and not always have to resort to the restaurant. Other than that, definitely a very nice experience.
