Hotel Los Castaños

An outstanding place to stay, up in the mountains. Spent a week at Los Castanos where Frank is a superb host and chef. Friendly atmosphere throughout our stay, couples and families, various ages and nationalities. The breakfasts prepared with care and top quality products kept us going all day, returning to enjoy varied and very tasty evening dinners, all prepared by Frank. Tip: let him know in advance if you’ll be wanting dinner so he can shop and cook accordingly. Rooms are light, airy and well looked after, ours was sunny with views over the village roofs and the mountains. Beds and armchairs very comfortable, bathrooms simple with everything you need. Cartajima is a lovely village worth exploring – look out for the clever murals everywhere and walk out to the springs (signed) to understand how people had to get their water in past times. We visited in April-May and walked every day: wildflowers superb and many, many different birds singing. A paradise for both. Frank and online walking apps will help you find the ways to go. Autumn is another good time to visit when the chestnuts trees are golden.

Great relaxing spot and really enjoyed our stay Family who run the hotel are wonderful, and helped us a lot as it was our first day in Spain. Good room and healthy breakfast. Plenty to eat and the cook catered to all your needs Pity we could not stay longer.

Very Nice Inn (auberge) style. Needs softer pillows,

Quaint quiet place We lived this quaint place in the mountains

We loved this homely, welcoming hotel. Frank and Antje were very friendly and helpful. The village is so pretty, with beautiful views. The evening meal was delicious, our favourite dinner on our Andalusian holiday! Great breakfast too. Thank you.

Pasamos un fin de semana en el hotel y nos sorprendió gratamente. Todo súper limpio y cuidado. El desayuno, muy completo y delicioso, con productos de calidad de la zona. La cena, de restaurante Michelín. Frank, el regente, es encantador y siempre está dispuesto a ayudar en todo. Un trato muy cercano y familiar. El pueblo, es un remanso de paz con murales decorando las fachadas de las casas que bien merecen un paseo por sus calles. Un buen lugar para combinar con actividades de turismo activo de lo que hay una gran oferta en la zona. Ha sido un fin de semana increíble. Repetiremos sin duda alguna.
