Serenity and calmness precede you at Cortijo Juan Salvador surrounded by nature time is slowing you down to fully enjoy . Together with the personal hosting of the family and the private chef options for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and wine & tapas tastings this makes the place a real foodie, family & group retreat where also intimate weddings, workations, retreats & business groups (events) take place.
From the top of the (long) shady eucalyptus lined drive, the panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea prepare you for the nature induced solace you can expect at this historic old winery with authentic features from the 18th century. Nestled into the valley on some 16 acres of private land within a protected area of the Montes de Malaga natural park, you’ll forget that you are within 30 minutes of the beaches and the cosmopolitan city of Malaga.
Upon entering the grand courtyard at the heart of the Cortijo you may even forget what century it is, imagining the horses and donkeys that were housed here during the bygone days of winemaking on the estate.
Every visit to this family-run historic old farmstead includes complimentary concierge service to help you get the most out of your holiday, and the culinary services provided by chef Sandra of the on-site host family are truly first-rate. Available as personal guides for local explorations and adventures, to offer “insider” recommendations, or simply leave you to your own designs in peace, your hosts aim to cater each visit to each guest.
