Hotel Description
In the centre of Gaucín, this is a special property: a traditional village house, beautifully restored by two men from Madrid, one of whom is a retired antique and arts dealer. Their exemplarily standards and superb good taste are appreciated by all who stay here.
The basement of this three story building was originally a Lagar, more than just a place to press grapes into wine, this was an authentic wine factory. Now the breakfast room, the tables are gathered around the restored wooden mechanism through one end of which the grapes were introduced, to be pressed barefoot, passing from the other end as grape juice ready to be fermented into wine.
"La Fructuosa" also has a big terrace, full of fragrant, potted lemon trees and flowers, another great place to start your day and delight in the views over the surrounding hills to the Mediterranean and Africa beyond.
The hotel has four large rooms, each with a big sitting area and luxurious bathroom (including hydro massage tubs) and one, more modest, attic room. All are decorated very tastefully with antiques and collectibles.
They all have stunning views of the Mediterranean and Gibraltar. On clear days one can see all the way across the sea to the African coast and even details of the Moroccan mountain range that fringes its northern border.
There is a comfortable sitting room, housing more art exhibits and shelves of books, but in the end, notwithstanding all of La Fructuosa's many charms, the memory guests might cherish most of all is the honest and affectionate hospitality.
There is another special joy for clients staying at La Frutuosa, the excellent restaurant which, although only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings, is fabulous. Delightful cuisine and a convivial dining ambience are guaranteed. From Sundays through to Wednesdays it opens for afternoon teas.
