“A remote country house B&B set in the hills of Aracena. A striking pink building with five charming rooms and suites in pastels with watercolours, rugs, and lovely views. Sunny terraces, infinity pool, sitting room, excellent table d'hote and plenty to explore. A great choice for families.”

Hotel review

Hidden away amid chestnut and fruit trees, this handsome modern villa built in 18th-century style is home to the Chestertons, a delightfully relaxed English family. They have dogs and a small farm, and run Finca Buenvino along house party lines. Everyone eats together, on the terrace or in the panelled dining room. Jeannie is a cordon bleu cook and produces mouthwatering dinners and light lunches. Choose between airy, comfortable bedrooms or a self-catering cottage with its own plunge pool.
