We've just returned from a 2 location stay in Andalucia (our third visit to this region). We enjoyed a 2 night stay in Granada followed by a 5 night stay at El Geco Verde nr Castril. What an excellent hotel and what a brilliant find. Owners of this superbly located hotel Ilaria and Derek made us feel so welcome and... More

We had a wonderful four days over Easter at El Geco Verde. In the heart of Andalucia with easy access to national parks this is an off the beaten track must do. We loved the peace and quiet, absence of people, amazing views and local knowledge shared by Ilaria and Derek. Easy to drive to from local airports and nothing... More

What a marvelous find.. 3 km down a very safe and leval track As you come over the final rise there glistening in the sun is this absolute gem of a hotel. Its not luxurious and doesnt offer gold fittings and jacuzzi baths but it is such an oasis of peace and tranquility. The hosts quickly become your friends and... More

Beautiful area, beautiful house. I stayed for a week in October with my kids, 8 & 10. Ilaria and Derek renovated the house brilliantly. It sits atop a hill overlooking almond and olive trees. they were so helpful in planning our time there. Ilaria booked horseback riding and stargazing for us. The star gazing was spectacular. The astronomer came to... More

What a stunning location for a family run hotel. You can spend hours just sitting on the terrace and admiring the panoramic views. It is so peaceful, a wonderful place for birdwatching or while away the hours with a good book and a cool drink, have a dip in the pool to cool off and then prepare yourself for a... More

We stayed here for two nights in October 2011. The first thing to mention is to make sure you get directions before you depart as it is difficult to find especially at night, as it is well off the beaten track. The setting of the hotel is sensational. You will be warmly welcomed here. The rooms are large and tastefully... More

We spent 6 enjoyable days here and really loved the peaceful location of the hotel. The rooms are very spacious, clean and thoughtfully decorated. The outdoor terraced area is perfect for lounging or dining, with panoramic views of the surrounding olive and almond trees and hills beyond. We thoroughly recommend the home-cooked meals and selection of great wines offered by... More

We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful bed and breakfast. It is new and has been renovated with excellent taste. In addition, the views are spectacular and very peaceful. Ilaria and Derek are warm, welcoming hosts and they are excellent chefs! Their food is homemade and so refreshing, like eating at your favorite friend's house. We were traveling with small... More

Firstly I would recommend that you contact the owners for directions to the hotel. Once there you will receive a warm welcome to this family run hotel. The food is home cooked with some produce grown in the garden. The rooms are good and spacious with modern en-suite bathrooms; there are also family rooms. Castril is 13 kilometers from the... More
