Casa Bella Teepees — Hotel in Zújar

A little slice of paradise in Southern Spain. As an avid traveller and lover of nature I make a point of trying out as many retreats / glamping sites as I can, and this place is my favourite by far. Situated just out of Zujar, surrounded by dramatic landscapes that take your breath away, spectacular sunsets and clear starry skies that promise to reconnect with your inner child as they fill you with a sense of wonder, here you get a real feel of the wildnerness with all the creature comforts of home. The place itself is incredible and I would highly recommend booking the whole site if you can (we were a group of six but could have had the addition of two more) as it gave the place a real feel of home as we lounged by the pool, relaxed in hammocks and played games late into the night (like cactus hoopla).The whole site is really well thought out with plenty of shady areas to escape the midday heat, the teepees themselves are surprisingly spacious and real care and consideration has been put into every detail. Each teppee has its own fridge (found in the private bathroom), and yes these are small, but this really wasnt an issue as you can fit in a couple of large bottles of water easily with space to spare for a few other bits and pieces. Honestly though if you are coming here you do not need the extra space unless you plan on making all your meals yourself (every teepee has its own bbq and dining area), but I would recommend against it. Instead I suggest booking breakfast and dinner, this is what we did and every meal time we were blown away at the quality and quantity of the food. We all enjoyed the full continental breakfast each morning, the warm croissants and homemade jams were a real treat, and taco night was the group favourite...although Alex's epic summer salad on BBQ night is the dish I will be attempting to recreate at home. The hosts were wonderful, really friendly and inviting, making us feel instantly welcome and cared for. We spent three nights at Casa Bella Teepees, enough time to disconnect, visit the nearby lakes, enjoy a relaxing massage and make a trip to the hammam at Cuevas al Jatib in Baza, but I could have done with a few more days...With plenty more of Spain to explore I dont normally go to the same place twice, but this place begs to be the exception and I will be back, next time for a little longer. Thank you for everything!!...

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the amazing Casa Bella Teepees. Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Zujar, this is a perfect place to relax and unwind, whilst also having plenty to do in the surrounding areas. From the moment of our first enquiry, Alex was responsive and helpful, answering all our questions and as first time Glampers, we had a few. The site is lovely, well laid out and with only 4 teepees it feels very intimate. The teepee itself was spacious and comfortable with everything you need. You have your own private picnic area, bbq and sun loungers to enjoy the beautiful views from. The personal shower block is perfect and having your own fridge is a real bonus. Alex and Gino have thought of everything to ensure their guests have a wonderful stay. They were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were staying there for my husband's birthday and Alex not only sourced a cake and candles for me, but also welcomed us with a bottle of cava for him. There is lots of information on the website about the surrounding area and we definitely recommend exploring the stunning countryside. Our favourites were the hot springs, the mirador above Lake Negratin, the waterfall and the enchanted fig forest, all beautiful places. Equally, we enjoyed using the site facilities and relaxing while watching the sunset, so you really can do as much or as little as you like. We would highly recommend Casa Bella Teepees and we will definitely be back. Thank you Alex and Gino. Debbie & Dave...

5 Stars are NOT enough!

From the minute you arrive at the glorious Casa Bella Site your plunged into an oasis of calm with everything you need to get away from the chaos of todays rush.

Alex, or Gino, will greet you like a long friend and give you a detailed, clear, explanation of the site, personal facilities, and guide you round.

Every Teepee has its own bathroom (which was immaculately clean), BBQ area, dining area, and relaxing area. It’s as relaxed, and secluded, as you’d ever want.

The Teepee is large, well furnished and a quirky different that you don’t want to miss.

The breakfast is a treat not to be missed, with warm croissants, home made cherry jam, and marmalade my Wife declared “the best she’s ever had”. Thus with the variety of cereals, and fresh coffee (tea available) was a great start to the day.

The cleanliness, and organisation, of the site is incredible. 4/5 star hotels could learn from Alex and Ginos efforts in regard to the high standards on show.

There’s a chill out zone, a large pool, and a few fun’s games on site, all perfect for whiling away the day.

Finally, the hosts, Alex and Gino. Utterly brilliant from minute one. Nothing was too much trouble, and their enthusiasm for the environment (the site is off grid, recycles, etc) is a credit to them. No praise is high enough.

If you’re in the area, and don’t stay here, you’ll regret missing out on this...
