Staying at El Geco Verde feels like you're visiting friends. Ilaria and Derek go out of their way to make sure their guests get exactly what they're looking for from their holiday. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about the local area and are able to recommend hikes appropriate to all abilities. We went on 3 amazing walks in the... More

The owners are extremely knowledgable about the area and go above and beyond to be helpful. They will even let you borrow their dog, Lola for hikes... More

We felt very welcome in this hotel in the countryside. It is very quit up there and at night you really can see the stars. We had the room on the ground floor which was spacious. Dinner and breakfast are all home made

Despite the glowing reviews of this hotel, in reality it's far from perfect. Certainly it's in a wonderful scenic location, with nice views on all sides. However, the owners need to address the problem of guests having difficulty finding the place. Follow sat nav and you'll be in real trouble as it will more than likely take you down a... More

We stayed for 14 days, as part of a longer trip in Andalucia, starting in the tourist hell of malaga, and finishing with some culture in Granada. Having done a lot of travelling, El Geco Verde is one of the best places my husband and I have ever stayed - with or without kids. Repeating previous reviews, the owners are... More

We really enjoyed our 10 day stay at this hotel. The owners were very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure that we had a great break.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 glorious days in late July 2012. The hotel is in a superb location in the middle of the Andalucisa mountains. The property is surrounded by olive and almond groves, all of which can be wandered through and enjoyed. The beauty of El Geco Verde is the nature, views and sense of space.... More
