Tu refugio de calma en la Serranía de Ronda
Hay lugares que invitan a visitar. Otros invitan a quedarse.
Rodeado por dehesas y montañas, en plena Serranía de Ronda, Las Piletas es un hotel rural familiar donde el tiempo parece avanzar a otro ritmo.
In the heart of Sierra de Grazalema natural Park
More than simply a place to stay, Las Piletas is an invitation to discover a unique landscape.
Located within Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and surrounded by Los Alcornocales Natural Park and Sierra de las Nieves National Park, the cortijo enjoys a privileged setting among mountains, dehesa and Mediterranean woodland.
From here, you can explore some of the most iconic landscapes in southern Andalusia without giving up the tranquillity of returning to the silence of the countryside each afternoon.
A landscape that changes with the seasons
Each season offers a different way of experiencing this landscape.
Spring fills the meadows and forests with flowers; summer invites you to enjoy the early hours of the day and the star-filled nights; autumn transforms the forests into a mosaic of colours, while winter covers the peaks of Sierra de las Nieves in snow.
Whatever the time of year, there is always a reason to stop, take in the surroundings and enjoy nature.
Nature to be experienced
The surroundings of Las Piletas provide a privileged setting for hiking, birdwatching, nature photography or simply enjoying a walk through forests, streams and mountains.
Griffon vultures, deer, birds of prey, small woodland birds and an extraordinary botanical diversity make this corner of the Ronda Mountains an exceptional destination for anyone who enjoys observing nature at a slower pace.
We can help you discover the surroundings
We know this land well and will be delighted to recommend trails, viewpoints and special places suited to the time of year and your interests.
In the lounge, you will find an wonderfull library filled with books on nature, hiking, birds and the flora of the Ronda Mountains, as well as binoculars and reference material to help you plan each excursion at your leisure.
Ronda and the white villages
Just a few minutes from the cortijo lies Ronda, one of the most beautiful and distinctive cities in Andalusia, famous for its spectacular Puente Nuevo and rich history.
Nearby, you can also discover some of the region's most emblematic white villages, including Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra, Montejaque and Setenil de las Bodegas, each with its own charm and surrounded by exceptional scenery.
Andalucía within easy reach
Las Piletas' privileged location makes it easy to discover some of Andalusia's great destinations on day trips, without having to change accommodation.
Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Malaga, Cadiz, Jerez, the Caminito del Rey and Doñana National Park are all within a comfortable distance, allowing you to enjoy them and return at the end of the day to the tranquillity of the cortijo.
When the night falls...
After a day exploring trails, visiting villages or taking in the landscape, the best plan is to return to the cortijo, enjoy the silence, gaze up at a sky full of stars and let nature set the pace.
