This select hotel, built in Andalucian “cortijo” style, opened in 2003, and nestles in the delightful village of Benahavis, known for the quality and variety of its restaurants. It will appeal to golfers, couples seeking relaxation, and also families. We recommend a hire car to make the most of a holiday here.
