Glowing Reviews of Villa Cortijo Las Salinas Exceeded all our expectations 
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.

Stunning, Sensational, Amazing 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.

Steve & Steffi proved to be the perfect hosts –looking after us and yet giving us space. 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 its the perfect place for a gathering of friends ,family reunion or special celebration. A real gem in the Andulusian hills.

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 spoken to Steffi, and seeing their Owner Verified badge on the website When we arrived it was breath-taking, 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.

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.

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 Steffi and Steve’s 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 and Steffi was so encouraging and kind. 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 Steffi and Steve run, 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. Steve and Steffi are the owners who live on site, and they welcomed us with such warmth and great ideas for mini adventures: gorge walking, the castle at Alcala la Real, seeing The sunset at the local lookout, and even tips for our day trip to see Alhambra in Granada. We also enjoyed Steffi’s yoga classes and art sessions, and relaxing by the lovely pool. Bliss! Others here have mentioned the food; it really is wonderful, and the pizza and paella nights were brilliant fun. When you come you must ask Steve all about how they found and restored the place – amazing stories.

I feel obliged to write a review of Cortijo Las Salinas because I feel it deserves to be made known to anyone travelling to Spain why this place should be regarded as one of best venues the country has to offer!
I was privileged enough to be a guest at a wedding there recently and spent the best part of a week at the Cortijo. From the outset you can tell that a great deal of work mixed with admirable taste in spanish decor has made this the most idyllic spanish retreat. Complimented by rolling hills of olive trees and set back a mile and a half away from any roads, you instantly feel liberated from normality and as relaxed as could possibly be. Steve and Steffi are great hosts, they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and took their time to get to know all of their guests which I found very welcoming. Its difficult to know where to start when trying to describe the place as the entire complex was so impressive, it was like something off a film. At first the courtyard alone was enough to impress with a moroccan lounge set back overlooking the bell tower and courtyard fountain, then leading on to the huge farmhouse style lounge dining and kitchen area. But this is only outshone by its outdoor space which begins with an amazing pool area perfect for families and children, the area is surrounded by different sun lounge areas including a hut and a pergola area to keep out of the sun. This leads on to an outdoor kitchen with bar, stone bake pizza oven, barbecue and a paella cooking dish. IN fact Steve and Steffi cooked all the wedding guests an amazing paella which you MUST try! Beyond here is a function space which was used as the wedding reception but I can imagine it can be used for many other occasions, picture perfect against the backdrop of hills you can see for miles. I live in Australia and I have many other countries I wish to see and explore but I’ve already began to plan a trip back here to see and experience this place again, it literally is that good. I wish Steve and Steffi all the best and give this place a 5/5 , this is definitely the right choice
See it to believe it
I never write reviews, I like to think people can make there own mind up about tplaces, but I had write one for Cortijo las Salinas. It seriously is amazing and a very peaceful. If you like art you will love Steffi’s work which is in most of the rooms she also has a studio which has lots of lovely artwork for viewing & buying. If you like food you will love it even more Steve made a couple of Spanish dishes for us on the first night and makes an excellent paella there’s also a huge outdoor Pizza oven unfortunately we didn’t sample the pizzas (hopefully we will next time) Steffi & Steve are excellent hosts fantastic food and very helpful. Plenty of space around the pool and in it of course, we had two children under 6 when not in the pool there was plenty of shaded areas for them to sit out of the sun. You need to go to this place it’s a part of Spain I never thought I would see and I’m glad I have and could not think of a better place to have experienced the “real Spain”. 5/5 I would recommend to anyone and hope to visit again
AMAZING!!! We stayed in this slice of paradise for a week, had the best time ever. Steve and Steffi were the perfect hosts, providing us with pizza evenings, making them from fresh dough and ingredients in a proper stone pizza oven, good parties in the evenings and ultimate relaxation during the day. They even arranged local football matches for the boys with the locals. I was so sad to leave and cant wait to go back. Such a beautiful place, especially to think they have built it all up themselves. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you to Steve and Steffi for a truly wonderful and unforgettable week!!

Thank you to Steve and Steffi for a truly wonderful and unforgettable week!!The most amazing place in the whole of Spain
The time we spent at Cortijo Las Salinas was absolutely heavenly! Steffi and Steve made everybody feel very welcome at their oasis in the mountains and catered to absolutely every whim. They’ve really made it their own, with fantastic finishings, art work and little touches. The food was wonderful, the scenery glorious and the accommodation fantastic. A little nirvana in the middle of nowhere, but just close enough to Granada that you can still get there if spending a lot of time by the pool isn’t your thing. Gorge-walking was a great treat too – and is a definite must. Wish I were still there now.
Amazing country getaway
I stayed here a few weeks ago and did not want to leave (seriously, I almost cried). This place is a true gem. After a long car ride from Madrid, we were welcomed by Steffi and Steve with a few much needed glasses of sparkling Rose. Steffi showed us around the beautiful grounds. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated with views of olive orchards. Our first night there we made pizza in the outdoor wood oven and had a great time having a communal meal with our hosts and the other family who was staying. SInce there is so much to do around the property we never even left and spent the day hiking and relaxing by the pool only to be treated to a top Indian meal for dinner (Steve is quite a chef). I can’t say enough good things about both the Cortijo and its hosts. I will definitely be back but will make sure to stay longer next time.
Outstanding in every respect
It is difficult to put into words just how incredible this place is. The whole place is a work of art – nestled in the ancient olive groves of Andalusia. Steffi and Steve, the owners are so kind and welcoming – you truly feel at home here – but without the hassle and stress that sometimes accompanies being at home! They have put so much love and care into creating this place of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation – it really is THE place to go to recharge your batteries, de-stress and take time out to really appreciate life.
Food – 10/10 (Delicious, healthy, amazing food) Accommodation 10/10 (Beautiful, comfortable, pristine, cleaner than clean) Environment 10/10 (Exquisite, lush, non-toxic, no road fumes, no plane noise – just bird song)
The best kept secret of Spain
We have just arrived home from the most amazing retreat venue. Steffi and Steve are a great team and perfect hosts. Beautiful and stylish accommodation decorated with art work from Steffi, beautifully presented, nourishing and tasty food cooked by Steve. Amazing views.
Selfishly, I would prefer to keep this secret but at the same time it would be a crime not to share it.
A Magical Week
I spent a week in beautiful Cortijo Las Salinas and as an artist this place is pure magic to me. I spent hours just staring at the mountains and olive trees and ever-changing light and listening to the sound of bird song. Steffi and Steve are the loveliest hosts and are so kind and welcoming. There is simply so much and it is all so well presented and aesthetically pleasing. There is an honesty bar, outdoor dining area, large kitchen and living room, outdoor covered yoga area with the most amazing view, large swimming pool, gorgeous outdoor Moroccan chillout area, Steffi’s art studio for artists on retreats, stunning local walks, a river and waterfall, a walk away. Steve is a fantastic chef and will cook you paid-for meals or you can self-cater. There is also a treatment room for massage, Reiki, beauty treatments. I liked sitting in a specially built sun shelter, by the pool, sketching overlooking the valley and hills. When evening comes the light is even more spectacular. The local village of Sabariego is quiet and friendly with sweet little shop and bars and there are many historical towns with ancient castles a short drive away.
A Magical location, like a movie set!
My daughter and son in law had the confidence to book this wonderful location from Australia (on the basis of the excellent trip adviser reviews), for a large wedding party staying for 5 days and a reception for 80 people. What we got was a magical experience in a beautiful place with amazing views hosted by wonderful people – Steve and Steffi, the food was so gorgeous, the whole experience surpassed all our expectations, so so good. We would definitely like to come back again. xxx
An Amazing Experience
At Cortijo Las Salinas I experienced the best of everything! Great food, great coffee, great ambiance, beautiful weather and scenery. An idyllic setting, it is heaven on earth!
Highly recommended! Steffi and Steve are very generous hosts who are warm, friendly and think about the extra touch that makes the Cortijo Las Salinas a very special place to visit.
All the rooms are beautiful and individually decorated!
