Accommodation and Retreat Testimonials
Curious about what we offer? Read our glowing retreat testimonials and reviews of Villa Cortijo Las Salinas.
Everything about the cortijo exceeded our expectations. It is an absolutely perfect place to relax and entertain friends and family both young and old. Having said that, not good for pushchairs or wheelchairs as everywhere is on a different level! We will be back next year. We have enjoyed the charm of swinging in the hammocks in the warm evening light overlooking the swimming pool and the distant rolling hills of olive groves. In the background the sounds of the birds settling for the night in the fir trees. So many lovely places to visit in Andalucia. Sadly we have returned to the cold of England but hopefully soon to return. The Perfect Place We stayed her for 10 days in march this year–what an amazing situation. Set among the olive trees, with beautiful walks all around –wild orchids –peaceful and enchanting. Las Salinas is both stylish and comfortable– and with Granada and Cordoba within an easy day trip it’s the perfect place for a gathering of friends, family reunion or special celebration. A real gem in the Andulusian hills.
Breathtaking, Cortijo Las Salinas is magical We were looking for a large villa in Spain not on the coast and away from the British crowds. My sister, two friends and our families were looking for a self catering place that could cope with a total of 22 people. I had the unfortunate responsibility of choosing our holiday location. I searched hundreds of websites and found Cortijo Las Salinas on www.andalucianoasis.com. It looked perfect, but was not sure about booking directly with the owners after all the publicity about the scams featured in the newspapers. The photos on the website looked perfect and I became confident having seen their Owner Verified badge on the website. When we arrived it was breathtaking. Cortijo Las Salinas is magical and everything we had hoped for. It really is a rare gem being one of very few Cortijos of this standard in the Granada/Cordoba area. It is situated in a wonderful location with stunning views over the mountains and olive groves. Retaining all of its original charm, it truly is an Andalucian Oasis! Its secluded location makes it possible to fully escape the crowds at this relaxing and tranquil retreat whilst still being able to enjoy a home made night life with no restrictions on noise, as there really is no one to disturb. There are MP3 connection points everywhere so make sure you pack your own music. Even with 22 of us, we didn’t feel on top of each other. There are many beautiful places to be secluded and private. I really can’t recommended Cortijo Las Salinas highly enough and we will certainly be back.
We had a wonderful time at the beautiful cortijo. Who would have thought that this late in the year we would still get great weather. Well we did!! Thanks for the great time we had in your lovely cortijo, lounging by the pool on the hammock, paella in the casita and walking through the olive groves. We hope to come back soon to work on our tans. Amazing Holiday! Cortijo Las Salinas is a amazing place! The whole place is beautiful! And I had a amazing holiday! And I really wanna come back! The pool is great for cooling off and we could sunbathe! It really is a must!

Thank you both so much for an amazing week. We want to come back as soon as we can. We loved the poppies in full bloom and our photographs are exceptional. We want to come back next year to see the sunflowers. Great views, great tracks, hills and enough technical stuff for MBT. I can’t wait to return with my own bike. Having a wonderful swimming pool to cool down in is just perfect. I could spend 6 months here exploring and can’t wait to return. What a place! Just sensational. Two weeks is not long enough, we can’t wait to come back. A complete delight! So romantic – feel utterly refreshed, Cortijo Las Salinas is a triumph. Congratulations to you both. We are full of awe with what you have at Cortijo Las Salinas. Haven’t been in a hammock for years. Look forward to returning, not too long away and we will come with the whole family. Just a small word from France where we returned to yesterday. We want to thank you again for our marvelous stay in Cortijo Las Salinas and for your unconditional soulful, but discreet involvement. We will keep in touch in the future months to find out more about your events and we will be discussing about next year because we would like to visit you again and share more time with you. It is difficult to express how impressed I am with Cortijo Las Salinas. The positive and creative energy of the place you have created a little paradise. This place fulfills the soul, the senses and the spirits of any luck person to visit or stay. There have been many magical moments at Las Salinas and I hope revisit many times. Thanks again for this very special place and you are very special people. Pink peppercorns, purple squishy figs and chilled cava. Thank you so much for a wonderfully restorative week in this amazing place. Refreshed, restored and revived. I can’t wait to return. Situada en un enclave privilegiado, el cortijo se alza sobre un esplendor y encanto inimaginable. Rodeado de lujos, recuerda a los antiguos cortijos de señoritos decimonónicos. Son mágicas las noches bajo el firmamento donde, alejados de la contaminación lumínica, puedes apreciar la inmensidad del manto estrellado que se alza en mitad de la nada. Los amaneceres con sus primeros rayos de luz que invitan a descubrir el fastuoso entorno natural. El susurro del rio, que pasa a los pies del Cortijo. La espectacular piscina y los jardines de la casa. Cada detalle que compone los dormitorios es minucioso. El buen gusto en la decoracion y los numerosos lugares de descanso de los que dispone el cortijo junto a la amabilidad de sus propietarios, hace del Cortijo La salinas un edén de los dioses, al alcance del hombre. Un lugar mágico. Had a wonderful time, the villa is awesome! Loved looking at your art work, really beautiful work, I will enjoy seeing your painting on my wall. The peace and quiet was so relaxing, hopefully see you here again. Love Dilys Thank you, thank you for all the fun and friendship. I’m going home stronger – possibly mentally, definitely physically. Thanks to a week with Chloe and Kiran. . All my love, DeliaExceeded all our expectations I can honestly say that the Cortijo was the most beautiful, relaxed and glorious place I have had the pleasure to visit. I was on the Art course and although I battled at first with coming to grips with my artist’s block, I loved it. Previous visitors have mentioned in their reviews the surrounding and superb hospitality, with which I totally agree. We had fantastic weather while we were there, and apart from the lovely pool there were many places to keep cool in when it was too hot. The food was delicious too and we had the pleasure of overlapping with a group on a cookery course, so we were very well catered for. Apart from the courses the Cortijo is available for private parties, and I would also highly recommend the location to film crews – for both filming in and staying at.
A Perfect Spot We heard about this place through a friend, inviting us to join a group trip – what a good decision to say yes! We had the most wonderful week at Cortijo las Salinas, enjoying this peaceful property and the amazing views across the hills in Andalucia. Bliss!
