The rural complex comprises 14 small individual houses built in the typical architectural style of the Alpujarra, a restaurant and a swimming pool for use by guests.
The most popular dish at the restaurant is fennel stew together with grilled meat and Iberian ham products obtained from the restaurant’s own Iberian pigs.
The complex collaborates with other local companies in the preparation of packages that include hiking, horse riding routes of several days in duration (for which the establishment has its own stables) or bicycle routes. The surrounding area entices visitors to venture down ancient trails, with irrigation channels that run peacefully through carefully farmed croplands, vegetable plots, natural caves and other attractions.
The family owning this establishment, which was opened in 2006, has taken care of every detail in the construction, using local materials and traditional structures, such as the flat roofs covered in “launa” (local impermeable clay), the chimneys with slate slab tops and the stone walls.
These elements have been combined with modern constructive elements that improve the environmental performance of the complex, such as a biomass boiler, independent heating and own thermostat in all the apartments and double-glazed windows and doors.
