Hacienda Minerva

Great place. Very quiet. Beautiful view from breakfast spot. Cordoba is an hour away and Zuheros itself is very charming. The room we slept in was very spacious, clean and nice and cool, the staff was friendly and the Hacienda itself exudes a lot of atmosphere. It is true that some attention is needed here and there. The toilet at reception was filthy on arrival and the tap was dripping, for example. The breakfast is ok. There were around 12 cats running around, not counting two newborn kittens. We thought the cats looked good, were not aggressive and we saw that they were fed, but they were everywhere outside. For example, if you went to get your t****th round of breakfast, someone had to stay behind to protect your plate. Are you allergic to cats; I would not do it.

The farm is very well located but a little neglected, it looks like a cathole. The room had an unpleasant smell of a fireplace, poor cleaning, very very dim lighting, the shower with little pressure…. The wifi does not reach the room. The dinner was good, the girl who served us was very attentive and correct. There was no lactose-free milk at breakfast. In short, not recommended. Immaculate

This old olive farm (with former cheese factory) is a large complex with all kinds of corners and terraces. You can get lost, but there is also a lot to discover. Beautiful views from the roof terraces (where you can also have breakfast). Much of it was also in need of a makeover when we arrived at the end of winter. Cleaning the moss from the smooth tiles or replacing broken flower pots, it all could have been done. But old and creaky also has its charm. The rooms have spacious windows and balcony doors. They are also spacious themselves. But there is still little light (also electric) in the room itself. There were also few pillows on the bed, but there was a nice sofa in front of the fireplace. The bathroom is a bit narrow for two people. The tap and the toilet kept dripping or you have to turn it very hard when closing. A nice warm boiler which was also necessary at the end of winter in the mountains. We enjoyed a great dinner both days we were there. Good food in a beautiful old space. Friendly staff everywhere. It was still a bit too cold outside for breakfast, but there was a wide choice of things and coffee from a real machine that they made for you on the spot. It is a great place to explore Andalusia from here in all directions and then return in the evening for a delicious meal. And only two kilometers from the white village of Zuheros and the hiking gorge.
