Nerja is a relatively unspoiled gem of a town on the Costa del Sol that has retained many attractive Moorish characteristics. This luxury four-star hotel has a wonderful cliff-top location, surrounded by lush gardens and trees that contrast with its whitewashed exterior. The large bedrooms are decorated with bright paintings by contemporary artists and have terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. There are some spectacular landscapes worth visiting nearby, which include the pre-historic caves and the pretty whitewashed hill villages of the Axarquía area.
