The hotel is a literal paradise! ☀️ I had such a great time here; the place is beautiful and the people are so lovely. 100% recommend to anyone who loves nature, animals and wants to stay in a calm space where there's not much to do (pretty isolated from everything). During my time here my Spanish improved a lot as it's primarily spoken by most of the staff :) The tasks were very diverse: from working in the vegetable garden and painting hotel rooms to helping out at breakfast and serving dinner, as well as welcoming guests in the afternoon... Gracias a todos, can't wait to come back!

Coming to el the hotel was beyond my expectations. It's a beautiful place, like paradise. The team is amazing, Alvaro, Carmen, Nano, Raul, Anna, Beli, and Kathy were Amazing. They treated me like family, helped me get around and I learned so much about the Spain culture , about them, and had so much fun with everything I experienced. Alvaro was very flexible to my needs. I would definitely recommend this host if you like nature. If you like a party environment, this is not it. Thank you for this opportunity ❤️

An amazing experience! Everyone was so welcoming and the hotel is really beautiful. You're free to use the facilities like the pool and I went on lots of walks in the mountains. It is very rural so can be tricky to get to other towns if that's what you're looking for - but I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for some rest, relaxation and time in nature. I can't stress enough how lovely the team at the hotel is!

I really enjoyed my time at the hotel! The team was welcoming and I definitely was able to practice my Spanish with everyone which I loved :) The location is a bit isolated but there are people coming and going that are willing to help you get where you need to go every so often! I'm glad I was able to experience life in Grazalema and live in such a beautiful place for a month Thank you Alvaro, Carmen, Reme, Raul, Delia, Ana, Beli, and Kati!!

Last month I worked at the hotel as a waitress and helped out in the garden. The work is simple and they respect the stipulated hours well. I worked helping with dinner for about 3/4 hours and the rest of the hours I did gardening work. The Hotel is a little far from the cities, but there are some villages close by. The mountain region is very beautiful and really perfect to relax and put your head in place. All of the hotel are great, very friendly people with an open heart to welcome new members. I really enjoyed my time there.
