The location was perfect …just what we love, a small village with shops and restaurants nearby. We were able to go for walks to the castle and of course, we were able to go to Seville from our location.
The convent was a lovely hotel..I wish the weather was warmer because the pool and grounds looked so inviting!
Our room was spacious, clean and listening to the birds and nature in the early morning with the courtyard there was lovely. We took advantage of their fitness center every morning which was easily accessed all day and fairly well equipped.
It was nice to have the restaurant on site..a lovely area with lots of windows overlooking the pool. The wait staff in evenings were very kind, and accommodating!
Breakfasts were good, a nice selection to choose from, and amazing freshly squeezed orange juice that was delicious!

Room lovely, very clean, warm and welcoming. Shared kitchen and dining room was great especially as I'm vegan so eating out in Spain is difficult. Miguel also looked after our bags on the day we checked out.

Súper confortable y calentita
Lo mejor la chimenea
Great little town. Famous caves are well worth a visit plus the Castillo. Lots of excellent Restaurants/Bars. The surrounding countryside is the main reason we visited the area and we were not disappointed. Did two amazing hikes, fantastic!

I visited in the first week in March.
I visited in the first week in March. It was colder than I expected (daytime highs of 11-16C). I was primarily interested in hiking and booked a rental car. Aracena is close to all the hikes in my guidebook so I only encountered the town itself in the evening getting groceries and finding restaurants. As always with Spain, it's so frustrating that no restaurants open until 8.30pm, some have "days off" which are not announced and many, even in March, were entirely closed. One really needs a local to help navigate where to eat. Having said that, it's incredible value for money. Dinner with wine for 20 Euros (March 2024).

Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises. The people are friendly and the town is clean and safe. Be sure to visit the Gruta de la Maravillas, a network of caves with wonderful stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Also, the pork in Aracena is to die for. It's the land of Jabugo, the best dried ham in the world.

Although the apartment looked to be placed far away, it was close to the center by walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and friendly as well. We would have liked to stay much longer than expected, we spent only a night there though.

Aracena is a picturesque town in a protected natural park setting. It is an excellent base for hiking and has numerous world class restaurants with most specializing in local ingredients including world famous Iberian pork products. Although people of Seville spent their leisure time here historically, it is only starting to get recognized in other parts of Spain and Europe. It is a true hidden gem and a must visit in Spain.
A great apartment for 2.
Large downstairs living room with sofa, dining table and log fire. Adequate kitchen. Good range of utensils!
Large upstairs bedroom and bathroom.
Host pointed out local points of interest.
Location perfect for trips around Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park and wandering through the dehesa landscape.
Host suggested Wikiloc to find hiking trails.. useful.
Hike up to the castle not as difficult as we feared.
Good bar restaurant VITA VINUM
Lovely wild flowers and lots of butterflies.
View was amazing from terrace outside our room. Very tranquil and relaxing. Staff pleasant and very helpful. They also spoke English as our Spanish is not brilliant. Room had facilities like, air conditioning, fridge, hair dryer, sofa etc. Terrace had a table and 2 x chairs good for alfresco eating. Plenty of car parking and access to rooms good with cases. Breakfast in the morning limited with choices but satisfactory. Meal in the evening was very good but limited menu. Prices of meals reasonable
I know Aracena very well, The location of the apartment is very good and I was excited about staying in the centre after having stayed in the country on earlier occasions. Everything is within walking distance from the apartment and one can reach the streets from two different sides.
The apartment is well-equiped and has everything one would expect to find in a self-catering establishment and it is clean and tidy. The young woman I spoke to over the phone was very pleasant.
It was small but comfortable, the beds were good and the bathroom worked good for us everything was there what we needed. The property is very nice and quiet and safe. The location was good, right in centre and there was free street parking available. The bedroom and bathroom is on the second level.
Absolutely ideal for a visit to Aracena and surrounding area! Lovely room, good size as is bathroom. ‘Miguel’ and family go out of their way to ensure you have all you need :) Great attention to detail and very personal service. Really lovely breakfast too… Nothing was too much trouble.
Our host was exceptional: knowledgeable, attentive and exceedingly accommodating. He has transformed his beautiful family home into a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this property to anyone exploring the Sierra de Aracena area.
Large, well appointed room with lots of storage, great views of the town, comfortable bed and pillows, large bathroom with separate w.c. Breakfast options were great. Free motorcycle parking on level ground opposite the front doors.
Lovely historic property converted into a hotel. Very good food. Helpful and welcoming staff. In particular our restaurant host Pablo always greeted us with a smile and was very attentive to us and made us feel welcome.
Room lovely, very clean, warm and welcoming. Shared kitchen and dining room was great especially as I'm vegan so eating out in Spain is difficult. Miguel also looked after our bags on the day we checked out.
The hotel is in the centre of town, and it is walkable to the most interesting sites. Very helpful reception staff and there is a locker room where you can leave your bags if you want to take a wander.
Spacious apartment with a good layout
Good location bars etc nearby and easy walk into town centre
Aracena is a good base for hill walking with plenty of facilities
