Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Marianne R. 12 Apr 2015 #### prachtige locatie Wij hebben een fantastische week doorgebracht op El Arpa. Wat een prachtige omgeving. Je kan hier heerlijk wandelen( ook voor de niet gevorderde wandelaars). In de omgeving zijn veel activiteiten te doen en mooie steden als Sevilla, Granada en Ronda zijn vanuit hier makkelijk te bereiken. De gastvrouw en gastheer zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. 1 minpuntje van onze studio, bij slecht weer (regen) is er geen ruimte om binnen te zitten behalve op het bed of aan de eetbar. Prima keuken, badkamer en bed. ##### Marianne R. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### daniel p. 13 Feb 2015 #### L'endroit idéal pour sillonner la région Cet endroit est un vrai ravissement, en pleine nature ; et pour rayonner en Andalousie, c'est parfait. Les propriétaires sont charmants, l'accueil est parfait, ne changez rien (la date de notre arrivée était en fait en 2012 mais çà ne marche pas le tableau) ##### daniel p.

Le but de notre voyages était de visiter le pratrimoine de la région mais le soir nous étions heureux de nous retrouver au calme . Nous avons recommandé ce lieu de villiègature à un couple d'amis qui en sont revenus enchantés ##### Danielle S.
