Casa de los Bates

The house was very interesting with snippets of history about the family which the host kindly shared. It was nice to spend a moment in time to dream and imagine times gone by. The rooms were furnished like you would expect of the period and many features from a world before. The gardens were extensive and amazing with botanical variety from all over the world. Lots of spaces to cut yourself off and relax with the sound of fountains and frogs and birds or spend time with friends in beautiful surroundings where you could be anywhere you wanted to dream.

Remarkable renovated property , quality furniture and contents a real pleasure to stay over. Magnificently tended gardens, swimming pool, "all day" sunshine on a wrap around terrace perfect for end of the day drinks. We (couple 70+) stayed December and enjoyed the wood burning fire in the evenings, comfortable beds, clean "fluffy" towels, toiletries, ample secure car parking, excellent fresh breakfast all supervised by Stuart a competent conceriege who really made our stay.

I travelled with my brother. It is one of the most exciting places we have ever had the opportunity to sleep in. It has a real character, a little mysterious, but at the same time, it is where you feel at home. The hosts were very welcoming and hospitable and made every effort to ensure we had a good time. The traditional Andalusian breakfast was served, including bread with olive oil, tomato, avocado, Serrano ham, cakes, orange juice and Nespresso coffee. We also had the opportunity to try bananas from the impressive garden. In the evenings, you can listen to classical music in the living room and feel the atmosphere of life in an authentic Spanish mansion. The area is closed to guests, with an automatic closing gate and a large private parking lot close to the house. If necessary, you can drive right to the house.

Overwhelming location with history and style. A real Insider Tipp for people visiting andalucia. I felt like a princess in a mini castle, actually it was like sleeping in a museum. The gardens were amazing. Fruits like in Eden. Birds, cats and the subtropical climate in the region made me feel, as if I was not in Europe anymore. Very nice and hearty house maid and host. Good breakfast with (probably) exotic fruits from the garden.

From the warm welcome, to the superb food, we couldn't have wished for anything more. What a beautiful place. We were the only guests staying, for a special anniversary celebration, and it was a great choice. We would thoroughly recommend Can de los Bates.
