My wife and I have not long returned from an 8 day walking holiday in the area.We travelled with HEADWATER who fortunately arranged for us to stay at the Finca el Cerrillo. It is run by ex-pats Sue and Gordon,ably assisted by Basil the wonder dog. The whole experience was one of the best we have ever had,which is something... More

It is not often that one comes by a real gem of a hotel that you really do not want to share with anyone; the Hotel Finca el Cerrillo is one such gem. The hilly location near the white town of Canillas de Albaida with superb views wherever you turn, the garden with a surprise and delight round every corner... More

This was my third visit. My wife does a painting holiday whilst I go walking. No fault of the Finca but the weather throughout southern Spain was bad from 14th to 21st April. BUT... such was the excellence of the Finca as a holiday location I had 6 excellent walks with two other walkers and enjoyed the usual high standard... More

I first stayed here back in June 2010, I was part of a writing holiday. I was blown away by the location, quality and everything about this place right from the word go.

Spectacular views, walks in the hills, absolutely delicious food and blissfully comfortable bed, what more could you ask... More

I don't think I'll be able to write a glowing enough review for this place - it was just wonderful! On arrival, you immediately feel part of the family - there is no stuffiness about this hotel, it really does feel like you are visiting friends! It is about an hour away from Malaga, and the drive up is along... More

The most beautiful retreat with atmosphere and views Rooms food and service excellent Quiet for walking or need a car as in the hills

Oh dear, our best kept secret hotel has made it to number 1 - so everybody will be going! My wife and I stayed for a walking holiday and there is really nothing to add to all the other reviews praising Sue and Gordon for their outstanding hospitality, food, walking and lovely finca rooms. But remember the hotel is not... More
