Casa Olea is simply exquisite and manages to achieve the rare feat of exceeding heightened expectations. The property is beautiful, the rooms are lovely, the pool area stunning and the terrace for breakfast and dinner is wonderful. The owners Tim and Claire strike the balance perfectly between personal attention and unobtrusiveness which is rarely achieved. The standard of food and... More

Following a visit in August 2011, we decided to visit again in May when the climate is cooler and the Andalusian countryside is a little greener. Once again we had a brilliant holiday. Some improvements to Casa Olea since our last visit include new bases for the beds, organic shampoos and body wash in the en suites, some comfy new... More

I recently visited Casa Olea with 9 other 'artists' to enjoy a memorable time in the Andalucian countryside. It was a wonderful experience in so many ways but staying at Casa Olea made it a trip not to be forgotten. The owners, Tim and Claire, were warm and friendly hosts providing great suggestions of things to do in the area... More

our first stay here - the most expensive hotel in our holiday but well worth every penny - windows in the 'Granada' room open to views of olive groves and nothing else. Fabulously quiet except for bird song. Loved the green concept of Casa Olea - in particular the spacious shower,rain head faucet and a window that opened to the... More

Casa Olea is THE perfect place to host an art tour in Andalucia. We were a group of Australian & English artists wanting to visit the grand cities (Granada/Cordoba) as well as walk through ancient rural towns surrounded by olive groves and moorish towers. Tim & Claire prepared a well researched itinerary which included 2 wonderful drivers - both named... More

My husband Jimmy and I found a little bit of Heaven deep in the mountains in Southern Spain. So remote was it that the sat nav eventually became confused. The proprietors Tim And Claire had supplied us with written navigational instructions which proved priceless and we put the sat nav aside and looked for the little signs they had given... More

We spent a fantastic two days at Casa Olea exploring the beautiful area and getting a bit stewed on some well-sourced wine and sherry! This carefully restored house reflects the owners' (Claire and Tim) love of Andalucia and their enthusiasm for the local area was infectious! As well as taking a couple of walks in the late afternoon heat, 'herded'... More

We have never stayed before in the southern Spanish countryside. We spent a week at Casa Olea which I will never forget so I'm writing my first review for trip advisor. Tim and Claire are the best hosts we've come across in many years of world travel. They are very relaxed and yet nothing is too much trouble. Their talents... More

We returned to Casa Olea on 10th March 2012 for 6 nights having had a wonderful experience there in February 2010, shortly after Tim and Claire had opened their doors in late 2009. We knew from the commitment and passion they showed the first time that it would be more than a safe bet for much needed relaxation and recharging.... More
