Cortijo Valverde

Cortijo Valverde. 

Ctra Alora-Valle de Abdalajis KM 35,5, Álora, Málaga.

Cortijo Valverde is a small country hotel of high repute, with a comfortably informal atmosphere. Set in the mountains of Andalucia, a short distance inland from Málaga, Cortijo Valverde is within easy reach of some spectacular scenery; the amazing El Chorro Gorge, the peaceful, beautiful Ardale Lakes and the rocky spectacle of the El Torcal Natural Park.

Everything is tailored to provide the best of relaxation, from the cottage-style garden with its hidden corners and shady spots, to the swimming pool with its broad terrace and inspiring views. The five standard rooms are located in a row of "casitas", each with a private terrace and views down across the garden, the pool and the countryside beyond.  The two premier rooms are in converted stables attached to the main house. All have tea and coffee-making, boxspring beds, honesty bar, television, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. The premier room has extra channels on the television, a bigger- more private terrace, DVD player, and all the facilities are more luxurious.

Many guests may be fully satisfied with an unwinding and re-charging holiday, settling onto the sunny pool terrace, or the private corners that abound throughout the garden. For others, the location of Cortijo Valverde opens up so much of Andalucia, the hills and mountains, the spectacular geological formations like El Torcal and El Chorro, and even the beaches are not that far away. For the most adventurous, there is cycling, quad-biking, canoeing, and more, all of which can be booked from the hotel.

Double/Twin Room

The double rooms each have a private terrace and face out to the swimming pool and to the country views beyond. They are equipped with air-conditioning (and a fan for guests who are not fond of air-con!) which also works as heating in the winter. In all the rooms there is a minibar, Nespresso machine, tea-making facilities and TV.

All rooms are configured as a double with a top quality boxspring bed, unless twin beds are requested at the time of booking.
