Hacienda Minerva  

In the natural heart of Andalusia on the edge of Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and just a few metres from the Via Verde. The boutique rural hotel sits under 2 km from the village of Zuheros and is a short drive from Castillo de Zuheros. Málaga airport is roughly 120 km away.

A converted 19th-century cortijo turned boutique hotel, Hacienda Minerva mixes rustic charm with modern comforts. Rooms are air‑conditioned and en suite, with minibars, flat-screen TVs, hairdryers and Wi‑Fi, set around secluded courtyards and terraces. Expect a rooftop terrace, an open-fire lounge for cooler nights and a tavern housed in an old barn for character-filled evenings.

Two pools (a saltwater adult pool and a kids' pool), Arabic Baths with massages and tea tastings, rooftop terrace, bar and coffee shop, bicycle hire and a garden terrace. Family-friendly features include a children's playroom and kid’s pool; the property is also pet-friendly. Free on-site parking, shops, meeting rooms and concierge services round out the practical perks—wake up to olive-grove mornings and stroll the Via Verde.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, meeting rooms and luggage storage. There’s also a library, safe-deposit box at the front desk and free self-parking—handy for small meetings or remote-work breaks.

On-site dining ranges from the Adycante restaurant with a terrace and scenic views to a rustic tavern in the old barn and a bar/lounge. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily for a fee, and the kitchen focuses on authentic Andalucían flavors and local produce, blending traditional recipes with modern technique.
