Hotel Cortijo del Marqués

Turning the final corner as you wind your way up the hill on a virtually pristine road you come across the most beautiful vision - the Cortio is a creation of lovingly restored historic buildings which the owners have brought to life to create a sanctuary of peaceful & luxurious repose. The entire place is utterly stunning without being pretentious and it feels tranquil and welcoming from the moment you step through the secret entrance and are greeted by an imposing ancient wooden gateway. The arrival is made all the more special by the hosts warm welcome. We adored the melodic sounds of the fountains in the courtyard where you can while away hours in comfortable repose and enjoy a good selection of refreshments. We particularly liked the separation of seating areas catering well for non-smokers. Our room was spacious, the shutters made it perfectly dark for blissful sleep and the bed was extremely comfortable with high quality linens and it had the most fabulous and spacious shower. I must mention the warm and friendly staff though who made our stay so relaxing and pleasant. There is just the appropriate amount of attention without it being over-done and all the staff were genuinely warm, friendly and helpful. It is no wonder that guests return again and again. We would love to go back in the future.

The Cortijo del Marques is an absolute gem hidden in the Spanish hills surrounded by Olive trees. We stayed at the « Silo ». The room with a « flat screen »: an outstanding view of the landscape without any modern signs of civilisation. A truly unique and mesmerising experience! The whole stay is an actual experience. Dinner at night is a Michelin starred standard for 35€! Wine list: outstanding (in quality and fair priced). We could not recommend more this experience and we will certainly be back!

Beautiful peaceful location with stunning views. Great evening meal offering for dinner as half board option. Wonderful and reasonable wine collection. Lovely rooms - simply furnished in line with the tone of the property. Lovely hosts

The food at the hotel is excellent! The staff are lovely and very helpful. It is great to have a pool even if it is small as it get very hot there in the summer. The church is beautiful and instils a feeling of calm in the evenings hen it is open and lit inside. It was great to ride horses closeby. The overall feel is relaxed and casual, a lovely hideaway hacienda to come home to after exploring around the area.

Our stay was above our expectations. Silvia and Wilko are very thoughtful hosts that made it all to make us feel at home. We had the chance to get a wonderful room with a breathtaking view. In general, the hotel is very well taken care of and each detail is considered. I could not recommend it more for a relaxing break from Granada.
