I run Toma Tours which is a boutique travel company in Andalucia. We chose El CastaNar after finding good reviews on the web for some clients who wanted to stay in authentic, out of the way places. This hotel was a huge hit and they were reluctant to leave. The warm hospitality seals the deal. There are many beautiful hotels... More

I am not in the habit of writing reviews, however, the three days my partner and I had at El Castanar Nazari was so enchanting I felt I should write a review of this little Hotel. I would say that this has to be the best place I have stayed the hospitality was exceptional, even the pet dogs were lovely,... More

We spent a week end at the hotel, Encarna and Felix are the most wonderful people and very helpful in everything you need and want to know. Their knowledge of the Alpujarra's is amazing. The hotel it self it out of this world, very clean, spacious and simply beautiful. The breakfast is traditional and plenty of it. The views of... More

I am writing this review while sitting in the comedor, drinking a great cup of coffee after a long day. The place is very tasteful and one of the most vhale-for-money I have ever stayed in. Te service is wonderful. We arrived at the evening it was freezing cold and were suggested to have a cup of coffee in the... More

This is one of the nicest, unusual places we have ever stayed. Peace and tranquility is the main element. The small hotel rurale has all the makings of a 5 star establishment. Total spotless, huge beds with nice linen. Massive bathroom and excellent toiletries. Bathrobe and slippers (we didnt make much use of as it was boiling hot!) these I... More

Very gracious hosts Felix and Encarna have a beautiful lodge-like setting. We felt pampered with the quality of French soap, linens and decorative and classy tableware. The breakfasts were homemade, generous and wonderfully prepared. The fact that Encarna had attended a culinary academy was evident in her meal presentations. Felix is an accomplished photographer and shows his work in Grenada... More

The couple running this small hotel is very nice, charming, and very helpful. We didn't read any review here or elsewhere before we stopped there so we just chose the place spontaneously. The nature is beautiful and the view is stunning. The hotel is located near Trévelez what is probably the most charming village in Sierra Nevada. This was our... More

First of all thanks to the previous reviews which led to our staying at the El Castanar in early June 2012. Imagine being not so young anymore and having a tough work year behind you and wanting to enjoy some time in the mountains hiking and relaxing, before facing the heat and crowds of Granada, without having to stay in...

In may 2012 we spend 5 nights in Hotel El Castañar Nazari. This lovely hotel in the Alpujarras combines the luxury of a Grand Hotel with the personal touch of a B&B. It is the perfect base to explore the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The hotel has only 5 rooms which assures maximal attention. The rooms are really big... More
