Weatherwise early April might have been a bit early for the Alpujarras, but we had three wonderful days at a beautiful place thanks to passionate hosts and their Cielo. Both my wife and I can warmly recommend this mountain stay (at about 1200 meters above sea level) with a beautiful view of the valley and a vast terrace.

At the end of September 2012 we stayed here for 3 days. It is located in a very nice area and is a very nice place to relax. John is a great host and gave us lots of tips on the area where we did some nice walks. Some evenings you can have dinner or some tapas otherwise you can... More

Its been over 6 months since my husband and I stayed in this beautiful property and I have meant to review before. Like a good book our experience in El Cielo has remained with me to be savoured long after it is finished. We spent 3 days in June and it truly is a special place. The rooms are beautiful,... More

Stayed one night at El Cielo de Canar. John was a gracious host. We were walking the GR7. John picked us up in Canar and drove us to his place. It was a rainy day. Nicely furnished rooms. Patio has great views of the Alpujarras on sunny days. John was very nice. He drove us to town for dinner and... More

It's early September. The view goes down to the Mediterranean and all the way to Morocco. The figs are ripe and John says you can help yourself. Though the four guest bedrooms are small, the shower is terrific and the beds are comfortable. Breakfast is good (fresh figs of course) and the day is yours to enjoy the terrace, the... More

What can I say that hasn,t already been said. I want to live here. The place is amazing and no review can give it Justice. John and Orna were excellent hosts above and beyond expectations. The accommodation was idilic, the views were amazing and the morning sunrise over the mountains exquisite. The little village of Canar is quaint with a... More

We have just returned from a wonderful 5 night stay at El Cielo de Canar and want to recommend it highly. We felt part of the local friendly fun community, we enjoyed a flamenco eveing in the church square, we filled our water bottles daily with fresh cold spring water and took John and Orna's lovely two dogs for a...

Myself and my wife, stayed here for a week and truly loved every second. We found John and Oma the perfect hosts of their idyllic home, both are welcoming, friendly, helpful and provide excellent food and service. The location is spectacular, clean, modern and stylish and we found the drive up not as extreme as we initially imagined from reading... More

So, you really need to want to go here as it is quite the trip. Up roads that often are almost too narrow for two cars at the same time to pass and since there is quite a drop off the side, makes for an exciting experience. The directions to get here are superb; will not get lost if one... More
