The cottages are located in an area of dramatic landscapes, and within an area renowned throughout Spain for its Iberian cured and fresh meats. The owners of the cottages also run a ham drying facility, and for a very reasonable price you can enjoy excellent Iberian fare in the barbecue.

The cottages make an excellent detour for people visiting Sevilla and Cordoba, and are ideal for people wanting to go walking in the hills. There are very few tourists, but the cottages are often booked by locals for the weekend.

They are both family and pet friendly.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16230 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9918 While I was there, my boyfriend was woken up at 3am by someone who said the bed he was in (and paid for) was hers. Obviously, there had been a double booking (in fact there were double bookings every night we were
there). However, during this mix up, the manager had gone into his 'safe' (which is allocated to the bed) and taken out a number of his personal items (which we did not notice until the following day). My boyfriend went to ask for them back and the manager said he had
lost them - but hoped they would turn up. Unfortunately, they did not and to be honest the staff did not really take the matter very seriously; they did not seem to understand why we might be offended that the manager had gone into our ‘safe’. Also, instead of replacing or refunding the cost of his UK electric shaver for example, they suggested they buy him a significantly cheaper Spanish (i.e. incompatible) version. Finally, the manager said he
would return the cost of the items once we could
'prove' how much they cost - after we had left to go home, which left me slightly nervous. This happened over a month ago, and we have just received payment for the items ‘lost’. Not entirely satisfactory to be honest. Thought it was worth sharing…]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8877 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8877 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8736 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8736 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1713 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1713
