Hospederia La Era is a 2-star hotel with a 5-star feel. The ratings for this small hotel - just 7 bedrooms, and owned and managed by Raúl and Davinia - cannot be bettered. Approximately 150m from the town centre of Almedinilla, the Hospederia is a beautiful building in a stunning location which affords superb views across the surrounding many hundreds of acres of olive trees.
The rooms all have their own individual character, reflecting the tradition of Andalusian architecture; all are impeccably furnished and well looked after - but it is the passion and love that has gone into creating this very special place that marks Le Era apart.
The restaurant serves local cuisine of the highest quality and is therefore featured on a half-board basis.
The Hospederia La Era is ideally located for visiting part of the Subbética that is very rich in culture, and also for sampling some of the best olive oil in the world, for which Almedinilla is renowned.
Guests comment about the lovely pool, the comfortable beds, the stylish interiors – and, above all, the sheer attention to detail. This is the perfect place to relax - and also from which to explore.
La Era features in our three-centre fly-drive slow food/agrotourism/eco itinerary, along with Finca Las Encinas and Casa Olea. All are featured on a half-board basis because the cuisine they offer is first rate, very local and low food miles in provenance and, of course, fresh and carefully cooked and presented.
