How this holiday makes a difference

In spring 2007 we were approved as organic lemon growers. Not only does this mean we have great lemons but also, grass, wildflowers and birds in abundance in spring. Where possible we grow and buy locally organic produce and support local markets and shops. We have an emphasis on vegetarian and fish cuisine and can arrange special diets for people with allergies to lactose, wheat, etc.

Reliance on fossil fuel is reduced by our large solar installation at our guesthouse in Malaga. We have a battery of 12 large solar panels capable of supplying hot water for up to 14 guests. In winter we heat the main lounge burning logs from sustainable forestry sources.

Purchases:
General attention to minimising dependance on chemicals, over use of packaging etc . No use of hardwoods

Once you get away from the coast, the country side is stunning and unspoiled, and reminded me of parts of Provence of 30 or more years ago. My excursions were delightful but I always looked forward to returning to the hotel and anticipating an excellent quiet dinner in beautiful surroundings.(read full review)

It was a lovely holiday. Cycling to the horse riding centre definitely ticks the memorable/exciting box - particularly down the dry river bed! The horse trek was fantastic, taking us through the mountains to a small guest house for lunch and then back again.(read full review)

The location of this guesthouse was incredible! If you want a holiday in the REAL Spain, come here. It is just far enough away from Malaga to be rural - yet easily accessible if you want the beach.(read full review)
