10/10
VrĂ©neli, Ruud, Estrella and Estela couldnât have been better hosts.
This is a fabulous space to relax in mountains of Andalusia, after an hour or so driving from MĂĄlaga airport. We hired a car from the airport and were glad to have chosen an automatic with a little more power than the average entry level rental car. The drive is fairly straightforward from MĂĄlaga Airport.
By all accounts there are some amazing hikes, although the purpose of our trip was to switch off and relax as much as possible, and we had no intention of doing anything active.
Itâs tough to beat a delightful breakfast, freshly prepared and beautifully presented by Estela or Estrella, either looking towards La Maroma (the highest peak of the Sierra de Tejeda) or, from the other side of the table, down the valley to the Mediterranean Sea. Made better still with quality coffee, (and Cavaâs always an option).
Both Estrella and Estela were very patient with our extremely rudimentary Spanish conversations and have great local knowledge. Estrella very kindly made dinner reservations for us each night at different restaurants around CĂłmpeta, a short drive away. Our favourites were El Cortico Paco and for accommodating dietary requirements, the staff at El PĂĄmpano were particularly helpful.
We have already recommended MĂĄlaga Hills to friends and colleagues since returning home.
