A charming hotel close to a quiet hilltop village. The hotel is a restored farm complex; it's just gorgeous, relaxing and welcoming. We had a two bed suite as we are a family of four. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service were excellent. They have a few bikes and so we hired them and took advantage... More

Very nice place to spend a couple of days and explore the area. Before checking in we looked at 2 rooms and choose the one above the entrance. This one had more light and a nice view. Both the restaurant and breakfast are really good. Make a reservation if you want to eat in the restaurant, because it can be... More

This is a place I didn't want to tell anyone about, but here goes. If you want a 5 star plush hotel then go to a big city; but if you want a 5 star experience this is the place. Set in a wonderful location with beautiful views in all directions, this was a highlight in my trip through Spain.... More

There's not much to add to the other reviews. My only advice is to ask to see a different room if you are not happy with yours. While my neighbor had a large room with an anteroom and views, mine was small, dark and reminiscent of an American hotel room. The small window, purported to look out on the castle... More

I loved this hotel. It's a extensively renovated olive oil mill and lacks for nothing as a boutique hotel. It's nestled into a hillside near the picturesque "white village" of Zuheros next to the Via Verde bike path (built on old railway). Ideal location for cycling or hiking. The views over the valley of olive groves is lovely. The owner... More

It was our ten year anniversary, and we has two nights away from our kids. Super relaxing! The grounds are lovely, with spectacular views. If you want to eat in the... More

We booked a 2 night stay at Hacienda Minerva to sample the northern subbetica mountain area of north central Andalucia. It turned out to be a gem. If you want a feel of the good life in real Spain this is where to find it. The Cortijo converted into a hotel has features that a designer must yearn over, from... More

We were on a bike tour when we stayed in this darling Hacienda. It is located in a beautiful olive drenched hillside that takes your breath away. The hillsides are filled with goats, gardens, and wonderful bike paths. Our host filled us in on his family's history and the hotel's colorful past. The view from our room was a perfect... More

Minerva is delightful, in a splendid village, with its own castle view. Spectacular restaurant, galloping goats. Cool caverns of Zuheros. Wonderful pool. Unforgettable library. Endless supply of swallows!
