Mr & MRS Smith Cortijo Del MARQUÉS

Silvia and Elko are amazing hosts and get everything right here. I have been for several years now and each time it has always been an excellent stay. The staff are lovely, exceptional food and the location is spectacular. This is a gem. If only all hotels were like this.

This is our sixth stay at Cortijo del Marquez, one of our favourite places on earth. Every holiday - from our romantic ones, including our perfect honeymoon, to this one bringing our grown up children and father, have each been absolute heaven. Silvia and Elko are so warm, helpful and kind, and have thought of everything to make the hotel perfectly comfortable and utterly beautiful. We have now stayed in spring, summer and autumn and each have their own charm. We love the amazing chef prepared four course dinners and incredible wine list. The pool is stunning, the gardens beautiful. In spring swallows nest in the rafters and you hear nightingales, and see hoopoes, linnets and larks calling from the fields and olive groves and even can see eagles soaring high in the sky. There is a wonderful circular walk, that its hard to drag ourselves out of the hotel, but Granada is only half an hour away, and has much to offer. The beach is also a terrific day trip about an hour away, but lunch on the beach is worth the trip. I could go on and on. We feel so lucky to have this special place to come to, and having just left, are looking forward to our next trip already!

I am not someone who travels a lot but the Cortijo del Marqués is a place I keep coming back to. Granada is only a short trip and worth a repeat visit. After a day spending time in busy tapas bars, experiencing the buzz of the Albaicín and enjoying the view of the Alhambra it feels great to retreat to the peace and quiet of the Cortijo in the evening and enjoy a delicious dinner in the cosy restaurant. The hotel owners, Silvia and Eilko, always have good suggestions for an excursion, whether you are into culture or outdoor activities. This time I went mountain biking in the Sierra Nevada with a guide, which was a great adventure. Staying a day at the hotel, reading in the shade of a tree in the court yard or going for a stroll through the surrounding olive groves is also a great pastime and a perfect way to relax and wind down. I am already looking forward to my next stay…

Viaje Perfecto!!!! Nuestra estancia en Hotel Cortijo del Marqués ha sido perfecta, además de por ser un viaje sentimental ha resultado una estancia perfecta. El lugar está muy cuidado, limpio y todo perfecto. Las cenas que dan en el comedor son increíbles y la paz y tranquilidad del lugar increíbles para descansar. Los propietarios siempre están accesibles y preocupados porque tu estancia sea perfecta. El personal muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar.

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.

Relaxing stay This was our second stay at Cortijo Del Marques and we were again super happy with he stay. The place itself is beautiful and puts you in a relaxed mode. The food is also really good! The staff is really nice and you can tell that the owners are very invested in the place they run. They make you feel very welcome.
