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.
