Bed & Breakfast in Bubion, Las Alpujarras, Andalucia, Spain

Hotel Description

In what was, not so very long ago, a remote, high mountain pueblo where the people had to struggle hard to make ends meet, "Casa La Sevillana" was the rather splendid residence of the local manager of the national electricity supply company, "Sevillana".

Hence its name. Behind its grande facade, weekend guests included both the King of Spain and his son, the Principe de Asturias.

When electricity supply was denationalised in Spain, assets such as this were sold off, and the house was purchased by an enterprising family from the village. They have renovated it throughout and converted it into a very agreeable casa rural offering comfortable bed & breakfast accommodation.

There are seven bedrooms. Thankfully nothing has been "standardised" here so each is a little different in size and layout. Light, bright and attractive, splashes of colour contrast cleverly against predominantly white decor.

Five rooms are located on the first floor of the house, two on the ground floor. Three have their own private terraces with lovely views down the valley; all have en-suite bathrooms.

Downstairs, leading off from the reception / entrance hall, there is a comfortable communal sitting / breakfast room with sofas gathered around a big fireplace. This leads out to a spacious, walled patio / terrace, also for guests use, where they can sit at original Moroccan tables and enjoy the fresh air and country sounds of this little mountain paradise.

From the living room another door will take you through to the kitchen anteroom where you can help yourself to a buffet-style breakfast in the morning, and to coffee or a beer, perhaps, at any time of day.

Everything at "Casa La Sevillana" is spick-and-span, comfortable and pristine, looked after with loving care by the charming, and always smiling, manageress, Maria.

Located on the country road which winds up the Poqueira Valley on its way to Capileira, access and parking couldn't be easier, and most of the village's selection of shops, bars and restaurants are within a stone's throw of the front door. Whether you are in Bubión to enjoy the incomparable walking and riding here, or just passing through, here you will wake up rested and refreshed.
