Tranquil Retreat With Beautiful Views
My stay was superb. In my travel from Madrid to La Costa Del Sol I found this Gem. A family operated hotel in an amazing beautiful area with astonishing views a beautiful sunsets over looking the Sierra Nevada and villages surrounding it. A place full of peace and serenity with excellent home cooked food, especially made for each individual guest. You get to choose from a daily menu that is provided. Than your choice will be cooked especially for you on that day. I stayed for three nights and I didn’t want to leave on my check out day. Pedro, Natacha, Maria Del Carmen and Andrea are all beautiful caring people, they are the ones that hosted my. I now call them family. Pedro provided me with lots information to continue on my travel. I also met other returning guest. One lady I met was her 7th stay. As I will be returning to El Balcón De Nieves a mountain hotel in La Zubia. Thank you to all the staff for a beautiful relaxed stay.

Great place to stay
This hotel is amazing. The location is around 4 kilometers from the nearest city centre (la Zubia) but the travel worths it. t is a beautiful trip all going up the hill between pines. When you go down, you see the city below, so pretty. The hotel is a recycled old house, nice and tidy. Our room was huge with a huge balcony overlooking the city and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Breathtaking. Bathroom was totally updated and functional, and of generous dimensions. Breakfast was european style, plenty and deliciuos, with different kind of breads, tarts, pies, mermelades, fruits, yogurt, etc. Coffee, teas and chocolate are available too. The orange juice is squeezed at your request. The owners, who attend the place, are great people. There is one dog living at the hotel that is the sweetest dog ever and the owners even let you take it for a walk if you want. Great hotel, great experience.

I want to move to Cumbres Verdes after this stay!
Absolutely amazing!!! Way high up above Grenada in the mountains provides beautiful sunsets and quiet. Loved loved loved!! The meals were great, the ambience incredible and I didn’t want to leave! And I loved the sound of chickens clucking in the morning and the dogs to pet by the pool. Oh, and the breakfasts are superb, lots of variety, fresh squeezed OJ and home made yoghurt!! Wow! To travellers who go, it is hard to find with no GPS and google maps got us very lost as Zubia, the town your have to go through to get there, has no street names on the buildings. Use GPS and it is simple. Staying there is the perfect complement to the AlHambra chaos with all the people.

Nice place
The hotel was nice and comfortable with modern bedrooms. The bed was very comfy. The service of the hosts was really pleasant and kind. The food was delicious and the chef very nice. The two canine hosts steal the show! Awesome pair of dogs. The view to the city is lovely. The only thing is that the hot water for the very nice bath tub with a view never really heated up, so we couldn’t use it. I’m sure it was a one off..

Lovely peaceful spot with great breakfast
We loved it (& the dogs). Beautifully modernised, fab view, lovely people, great breakfast (freshly baked bread, cakes, pastries etc). We wished we'd been better organised and booked to have dinner there, in their nice dining room overlooking the valley, as we're sure the food would have been excellent.

Cosy and friendly with a very warm welcome
We stayed here last week with our two children and really liked the hotel. The hotel staff were all lovely and very welcoming and the hotel itself feels really homely. It is about 5km from La Zubia where we found a lively local tapas restaurant (La Almadraba) with just the right mix of atmosphere and good food recommended by the hotel. The breakfast provided is very nice with a good choice of fresh food. The two hotel dogs were a welcome addition to the overall experience.

Celia - Celia - Celia - I must give a bad review.
It might sound like I have a thing for the receptionist Celia - but she was almost the only thing good about this hotel. And if she was not there - I am convinced this hotel would be struggling to survive. When we arrived, the place looked great. Even the room looked fantastic. And the views over Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountain range are really quite pleasing. Celia, was fantastic, pleasant, helpful, and a great cook. Her cooking skills are brilliant - and her soup should be a choice for a last meal. HOWEVER -- The pool was frozen over (even though I was told it would be open), not to mention filthy. And the room - whilst it looked great at first, soon started to fall apart. The blind on the doors to the balcony came crashing down, the coffee maker in the room would not work (which was the only refreshments in the room), the towels were a joke, the shower poured water all over the floor. The room was too hot (even with a window open), it took about five minutes to get the key out of the lock in the door every time and the tv did not work. BUT - the tv next door worked. How do I know? Because through the paper thin walls, I could hear the tv blaring away - and the people next door shouting and screaming until 4am. And there was no way to get them to shut up. I tried calling the contact number (as the reception was closed), but no-one answered. As a result - I over slept and was late for a meeting the following day. Finally, the breakfast was an awful experience

Very nice mountain retreat with great views overlooking the city of Granada and the Sierra Nevada's. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were very cosy with modern utilities. Its far enough out of the city and close enough to it. They offer a great menu and have a large breakfast in the morning. We will be going back.

Far from city center, but awesome stay! Cozy indee
Only check in with this hotel if you're okay with dogs. They have a sweet Golden Retriever named Enzo, and he is indeed 34kgs of Pure Love. Room's were unique and had a special touch, perfect for younger generations and the view was perfect, overlooking Granada! Only check in with this hotel if you have the transportation means to get here, its far from the center, around 12km if I'm not mistaken. Breakfast was awesome, their homemade yogurt is really good. Expect Enzo to accompany you everywhere, from when you arrive to check in, til you have breakfast the next day, til you leave the hotel. He's your host, safe to say! It's a homey, cozy home hotel!

This is a quaint b&b perfect for my hubby and I. The b&b is peaceful and our room had a little balcony overlooking the city below.

Kleinschalig hotel in een mooie omgeving om te wandelen met zwembad. Theefaciliteiten op de kamer. Uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet met koffiekoeken, vers brood, zelfgemaakte cakes , verse meloen/ananas, konfituren, charcuterie, vers fruitsap, eieren, pannekoeken. Deze laatste waren koud wat jammer was. De eigenaars hebben 2 grote honden die aandacht zoeken, zodat je niet altijd op je gemak ah zwembad kan zitten. Huisdieren zijn toegelaten, andere familie had 2 hondjes bij die luidruchtig ah blaffen waren. Gelukkig niet tijdens de nacht. Er is ook een restaurant aanwezig, kokkin kan heel lekker koken, menukeuze en reservatie voor 17u is een must.
