Casa Olea

Casa Olea is an idyllic, boutique B&B in the heart of Andalucia, half-way between Granda & Cordoba

Casa Olea combines the atmosphere of a traditional Andalucian cortijo (farmhouse) with a touch of luxury and home comforts: under-floor heating in winter and a/c in summer; super-king sized beds with luxury cotton bedding; a beautiful outdoor swimming pool and terrace. With just 6 double bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) the house can also be rented privately as an exclusive villa with cater

ing provided, so that everyone can relax and enjoy the place and noone has to do the washing up! It's a great option for a special family reunion or a group of friends travelling together. Panoramic views from every window of the surrounding olive groves, mountains and river forest full of wildlife, from eagles and owls to wild boar! Come back from a day's exploriong to home-cooked evening meals using locally-sourced, seasonal produce. Strong "Green Credentials" with 100% of its under-floor heating and hot water generated by 6 solar panels and a biomass boiler, using recycled olive pellets from the local olive cooperative mill. An exciting base for an “Active Andalucia” escape, offering a range of fully-researched, self-guide walking and mountain biking routes for all ages/abilities. Hike up to hill-top medieval watch-towers or cycle along the Via Verde, the reclaimed "Olive Train" railway.

Get outside and enjoy hiking in the Andalucian hills at Casa Olea.
Located on the edge of the Sierras Subbeticas Natural Park, half way between Cordoba and Granada; we have a good range of self-guide trails which you can navigate on your phone or with our walking notes.
Enjoy wild flowers, big views and noone else on the trail; followed by a long, lazy lunch at one of our recommended local cafes or restaurants.

Spring is a great time to get out riding the quiet backroads of the Subbetica, Andalucia.
At Casa Olea, we can suggest lots of nice routes (and provide gpx tracks); the roads and trails are empty; and we can help with quality bike rental - road, gravel, mtb and e-bikes all possible.

HAPPY EASTER (Monday) to one and all! So, Semana Santa is over for another year; and the weather has been spectacular. Our local town, Priego, has been buzzing with its traditional Easter processions day and night; and lots of happy visitors enjoying all that this beautiful area has to offer.

Many thanks for the great photos.

Dusking at Casa Olea...

Silently observe the transition from day to night, from the comfort of our pool or dining terrace. Just stop for a few minutes and enjoy the view, listen to the birdsong and watch the sky change colour as the light fades. No phone, no technology, no noise. Then enjoy a delicious home-cooked dinner under stars!

"Dusking" is a old rural Dutch tradition which is fast becoming an anti-hustle wellness trend. And there is no better place to try it than at Casa Olea!

Finally, at long last, the sun is out again and it feels like spring is on its way. After just two days of better weather, the almond blossom and wild flowers are already starting to come out.

We've been out walking with Choco, to recce a new route in our river valley which takes you around the "Los Cabezuelos" Bronze Age hill fort (dating back to 1500BC), with views of the Reconquest-era Torre de Barcas (1400AD) and medieval Moorish watchtowers (1000AD).

Nature, stunning scenery and over 3000 years of history, all in a 90-minute hike from the Casa!

We've just added the gps track to our Wikiloc account of self-guide routes, so you can put that on your list of hikes for while you're here..!

The recent rains have been great for the olives and countryside, which is looking stunning. We've been enjoying taking Choco on lots of nice walks; seeing the irises pop out, Ibex roaming on the ridge and eagles and vultures soaring overhead.

We are excited to have just launched this weekend at the Good Food Show NEC (UK). It's a delicious, early harvest oil; made with olives from Paco's finca in our valley, picked on 04 November and bottled in our local mill in Zamoranos. Now available to buy in the UK online at: www.HelloEtico.com

It's incredibly high in polyphenols (701) and has a very low acidity (0.13), so it's as fresh and nutritious as you can get! This is "aceite verde" at its very best!

We've had a very busy few weeks - picking the olives, bottling, labelling and now promoting it at the show! The early feedback has been amazing and we're very excited to be starting this long-term project, working together with Paco and other local farmers around Casa Olea, to share the love for the incredible olive oil of our region.

Visit www.HelloEtico.com for more on the story and to buy the oil (UK only at present).

The "Veranillo de Membrillo" continues! Beautiful early autumn days and gorgeous sunsets mean dinner is still outside (for a few more days at least!) and the local quince is now featuring on Claire's evening menu.

The Veranillo de Membrillo - the little summer of the quince - traditionally runs from late September to early October; but it seems to be getting later and later each year, as the mild autumn weather continues.

Dessert this week has included Poached Quince with star anise, cinnamon, bay and moscatel wine - delicious on its own or with baked Spanish cheesecake! The more traditional use is "carne de membrillo", quince paste/jelly, served with Manchego cheese.

DID YOU KNOW?
Quince is not only delicious but it's a super food too - high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, as well as being high fibre, minerals and a vitamins. Originating in Persia, quince was probably brought to Andalucia by the Romans and then cultivated extensively by the Moors from the ninth century onwards.
