    Beautiful place to relax. Great hosts. The room and the little kitchen make the place really homely. We also enjoyed the hot tub in the early evening. Thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely come back.

An old restored country schoolhouse full of original charm, set in safe, private gardens with plenty of facilities. As there are only three rooms, the guest experience is peaceful and intimate. And only a short drive from the coast.
Imanol (Spanish) and his wife Toni (English) bought the old schoolhouse in 2000 and spent several years renovating it to create a perfect little oasis of peace in traditional Andalusian style, opened in 2003.
Escuela La Crujia is set in a tropical fruit growing valley, where mango and avocado trees dominate, meaning the very best possible climate. Only 10 minutes from the sea and 10 minutes from stunning Lake Viñuela, it is the ideal setting for exploring the area.
