El Secreto del Olivo

If you want to really get away from the tourist scene - this is the place. Immaculada was terrific.

Lovely traditional Spanish feel to the property. Interesting mix of modern and traditional. Great location in central Niguelas, lovely walking from the door. Immaculada was very sweet and very attentive Lacked air conditioning (although temperatures were 40 degrees ), although the furniture in reception looked lovely it wasn't that comfortable (although possibly this wasn't helped by the extreme heat) Niguelas itself was disappointing for food, a bit like travelling back to the 1980's.

It is a great place to stay. The owner did everything possible to make our stay perfect. We really enjoyed our time there. The only defect that I could think of is that it doesn't belong to me!

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for 5 nights, as he is from Durcal, which is the next village along from Niguelas., where we were coming over to visit his family. We were greeted by the host, Inmaculada, who was so welcoming and kind. She showed us around the hotel, which is so picturesque, and quintessentially Spanish, with a large courtyard in the centre, where we sat to eat lunch, which Inmaculada had kindly prepared for us on arrival. There is also a courtyard out the back, where would sit and enjoy breakfast, which was included in the price for the room. We are both vegan, and the host was super accommodating for our diet. The room itself was spacious, clean, and super comfortable, with a giant super-king bed. There was also a small balcony, with views out over the mountains. The room was freshened up, and cleaned every day. Niguelas itself is a super quaint little village, frozen in time in the best possible way, with beautiful walks along the mountains, flowing water, and breath-taking views. Would highly recommend a visit to the Centro de Interpretación Almazara La Erilla - an old Olive Mill, which has been converted into a museum, and also a walk along Sendero de La Pavilla. I wasn't sure what to expect of the weather with it being the end of October - but we were blessed with blue skies, and sunshine every day. Can't wait to come back soon! :)

Excellent location, very friendly staff
