"A beautiful small hotel with outstanding views. Although it is up a steep hill, the hotel, although basic, is everything you need for a few days stay. The restaurant next door is very good, and used by touists and locals alike. If you are hiking, the hotel has lots of info on trails and is near the start of most main routes."

The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful villages of Laujar de Andarax and Fondon. It has plenty of parking and the hotel is large, modern, clean with a helpful and welcoming team.
The rooms are individual apartment blocks with a balcony and terrace situated amongst the countryside, with plenty of trees, places to seat, easy access to the pool, quietness, dark skies for skywatching and a 20 minute (steep walk) to the local town of Laujar and trail routes such as El...

Beautiful place but need to go into it thinking it’s more like an Airbnb. Do
Your shopping before you arrive as there is nothing there. The onsite restaurant is amazing but not open often. No breakfast included even though on booking it says it is. You’ll need to buy essentials like milk, coffee, tea, basically everything food wise but it has its own kitchen and fridge freezer and cutlery etc.
Amazing views
Pool great
Waterfall appreciated !
We booked the jacuzzi room and it was lovely.

What a beatiful hotel! The staff were super helpful, the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the pool area was great to relax after a day of hiking.
We are a couple in our 40s who enjoy being outdoors, we found this hotel by chance and absolutely loved it - Im pretty fussy so its a big complement! Its a great location for hiking and exploring the surrounding area and perfect for a digital detox (although they do have wifi) and to relax.
The set menu in the restaurant was great...

This is a very basic hotel with limited facilities - no formal reception as such (we were given a code to retrieve our key from a key safe) - it all worked well. However, be aware that you are not supposed to flush toilet paper down the loo + there is very very limited places in the immediate vicinity to eat/drink. Our room had a twin hotplate and great fridge but there are very few shops to source supplies (a trip to Guadix is probably the best solution). The hotel is a good location for...

The best area to stay in Picena is the historic Old Town, known locally as "Casco Antiguo," for its authentic character and central location.
This neighbourhood is the heart of Picena, characterized by its narrow, winding streets, whitewashed buildings, and traditional Andalusian courtyards. You'll find a good selection of independent shops, tapas bars, and restaurants, particularly around Plaza Mayor and Calle Real. It's very walkable, and many of Picena's primary attractions, such as the Picena Cathedral and the Alcazaba fortress, are within easy reach.
Couples often find the Old Town particularly appealing. The romantic ambience of the historic streets, the intimate dining experiences, and the opportunity for leisurely strolls through centuries-old architecture make it a wonderful base for a relaxing getaway. Many boutique hotels here offer rooftop terraces with lovely views over the town.
For those travelling with family, staying slightly outside the most central part of the Old Town, perhaps closer to the Parque de la Alameda, can offer a good balance. This area is still very convenient for accessing the Old Town's attractions but provides a bit more space and is closer to green areas for children.
When is the best time to go to Picena?
The best time to visit Picena, Andalusia, Spain, is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October).
During these months, you'll experience pleasant temperatures, generally ranging from 20-28°C, which are great for exploring the region's outdoor attractions without the intense heat of summer. The spring brings blooming wildflowers across the countryside, while autumn offers a golden landscape and the grape harvest season. These periods also tend to be less crowded than the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience at popular sites.
For those prioritising outdoor activities like hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains or exploring the white villages, spring is particularly good. The trails are usually in excellent condition, and the cooler mornings make for comfortable walks. You might even catch some of the local spring festivals.
Couples looking for a romantic getaway often find autumn ideal. The vineyards around Picena are at their most picturesque, and many local bodegas offer tours and tastings.
