The Finca is very good and enjoyable for a stay. The apartment rooms have two individual rooms, bedroom and living room with a kitchenette. There is also a fireplace making it comfy in wintertimes. The owner is very nice and helpful if you need some support. The location is good centrally for hiking or whatever you do in the area.

We had an exceptional stay at the hotel, it's such a beautiful building located in a very picturesque town surrounded by mountains and meadows. The renovated traditional house was so well-done and cosy, outside areas were stunningly beautiful as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and even though we arrived very late, just before 23:00 we were still able to have a nice dinner in the restaurant. Not to mention the fact that we travelled with our dog and she was very well taken care of and welcomed as well. Thank you for an amazing experience!

The hotel was right in the middle of town and an easy walk to the grotto and the castle. The hotel was very clean and though a little dated, very comfortable and we received a warm reception from the staff. The room in the attic was nice and comfortable and had what we needed for the 2 nights we were there. There was a nice coffee shop next door.

The location. I stayed in the same apartments in the autumn of 2004, when I was looking for a house in the area. The location is still good, although the hotel which used to run the apartments, is now closed and there's an atmosphere of being abandoned.
The apartment is small, but you can find everything listed on the website by "name", obviously it's bought from the local cheap Chinese shop and it's of the worst posible quality. The shower was good...there was hot water....and the WC flushed well. Well, that was nice...

I visited in the first week in March. It was colder than I expected (daytime highs of 11-16C). I was primarily interested in hiking and booked a rental car. Aracena is close to all the hikes in my guidebook so I only encountered the town itself in the evening getting groceries and finding restaurants. As always with Spain, it's so frustrating that no restaurants open until 8.30pm, some have "days off" which are not announced and many, even in March, were entirely closed. One really needs a local to help navigate where to eat. Having said that, it's incredible value for money. Dinner with wine for 20 Euros (March 2024).

Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises.
Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises. The people are friendly and the town is clean and safe. Be sure to visit the Gruta de la Maravillas, a network of caves with wonderful stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Also, the pork in Aracena is to die for. It's the land of Jabugo, the best dried ham in the world.

Although the apartment looked to be placed far away, it was close to the center by walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and friendly as well. We would have liked to stay much longer than expected, we spent only a night there though.

Aracena is a picturesque town in a protected natural park setting. It is an excellent base for hiking and has numerous world class restaurants with most specializing in local ingredients including world famous Iberian pork products. Although people of Seville spent their leisure time here historically, it is only starting to get recognized in other parts of Spain and Europe. It is a true hidden gem and a must visit in Spain.

We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and could have asked for a more beautiful place to stay - the staff we friendly and attentive, the room was lovely and the bed’s comfy. The spa was an amazing experience and the treatments the best I have had. We will be back!
This former convent was charming and historic and cool in the unbearable heat. It is well located within this small town, with parking facilities, welcoming staff, quiet and visually pleasing exterior and cloisters. The room was spacious and clean, with an enormous very comfortable bed, and lovely bathing products. The swimming pool is clean with good shaded seating areas, a bar, and lovely surrounds. The buffet breakfast is delightful.
It was small but comfortable, the beds were good and the bathroom worked good for us everything was there what we needed. The property is very nice and quiet and safe. The location was good, right in centre and there was free street parking available. The bedroom and bathroom is on the second level.
Absolutely ideal for a visit to Aracena and surrounding area! Lovely room, good size as is bathroom. ‘Miguel’ and family go out of their way to ensure you have all you need :) Great attention to detail and very personal service. Really lovely breakfast too… Nothing was too much trouble.
Aracena is a pretty town and the hotel in a great location. The building itself, a former convent, is beautifully converted into a great hotel with great facilities including the spa, restaurant and swimming pool. The staff were super friendly and obliging. We had a really great stay.
Quiet, nice, beautiful location. Very friendly staff. Nice walking trails directly from the hotel, you can see pigs and sheep nearby and even walk to the beautiful town of Aracena, which also has some great restaurants, where you can eat Iberian pork (cerdo ibérico).
Our host was exceptional: knowledgeable, attentive and exceedingly accommodating. He has transformed his beautiful family home into a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this property to anyone exploring the Sierra de Aracena area.
Large, well appointed room with lots of storage, great views of the town, comfortable bed and pillows, large bathroom with separate w.c. Breakfast options were great. Free motorcycle parking on level ground opposite the front doors.
Room lovely, very clean, warm and welcoming. Shared kitchen and dining room was great especially as I'm vegan so eating out in Spain is difficult. Miguel also looked after our bags on the day we checked out.
Spacious apartment with a good layout
Good location bars etc nearby and easy walk into town centre
Aracena is a good base for hill walking with plenty of facilities
Don't miss the caves

Good continental breakfast.
Friendly staff.
