Mr & MRS Smith Cortijo Del MARQUÉS

The hotel's serene location among olive trees provides a peaceful retreat. Guests praise the delicious buffet breakfast, comfortable rooms, and excellent service. The accommodation also boasts a lovely pool and attentive staff.

Lovely, authentic and relaxed vibe throughout our stay. The rooms are full of character, with timbered ceilings, antique floors, and individually styled décor, while still offering full comfort and modern amenities. Hosts Silvia and Eilko made us feel genuinely at home and were always attentive and thoughtful. We truly did not want to leave. The peaceful pool courtyard and quiet corners around the property were perfect for unwinding between trips into Granada and the Alhambra, which is just minutes away. It was easy to find using SatNav (Apple Maps), which guided us directly to the front door via the last mile of track from the motorway roundabout.

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!
