Peaceful, isolated location. Very attractive old farmhouse with beautiful courtyard, extensive views and a superb swimming pool. Excellent communal facilities and an incredible choice of healthy options for breakfast every morning. Juan was an excellent host, always happy to respond to any request for information about the surrounding area and facilities available.

The premises, our room and the facilities were all perfect from our point of view.

The location in the olive groves is quiet and idyllic. Juan is very nice. He had good tips about where to go horse riding nearby. The breakfast was good and included typical regional and even homemade things. In the evening you can sit on the terrace or in the beautyful courtyard. Drinks can be bought on site.

It is a bit of a pity that breakfast is served in a room without a terrace. There is no shower curtain in the shower. The water floods the room.

It was a very quite and tranquil place.

It’s a pet friendly hotel, which isn’t in the information of the hotel. Guests are allowed to bring their dogs to breakfast, which we found uncomfortable. One day we were at the pool and three couple had their dogs running around, one even let theirs into the pool. When we asked them nicely to tie up their dogs (as is stated on the entrance to the pool) only one couple did. I am very nervous around dogs so this was really not a nice experience. It should be clearly stated that guests are allowed to bring their pets.

Excellent communication prior to our visit and welcome on arrival. We enjoyed again the rural setting, views, quiet courtyard where we could have a drink and read/play games.

It is a shame that dinner is no longer available on site but we were informed prior to our visit and the owner pointed us towards a bar restaurant in the nearby village. In the event, we ate such excellent lunches (again recommended by the owner) that an evening snack was sufficient.

Really beautiful rural farm guesthouse run impeccably by the owner Juan. A perfect place to recharge the batteries in comfort after a week of sightseeing and before a week of fun in Torremolinos. Most comfortable bed we had in 5 weeks of travel. Great big pool to relax by. Friendly dog, cats and multiple horses and ponies. Did I mention the view towards Antequera? Or the terrific breakfast included?

Nada.

This is the most gorgeous place you can find in Spain! You will feel like home in every corner of this property. The hosts are really kind and helpful, their dogs are adorable and well behaved, the rooms have such a beautiful charm and they are spotless clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and we are glad we got the chance to have dinner too. The pool is also a huge plus and the quiet location, but close to so many tourist attractions.

Don't make the mistake we did to spend only two nights here 😭 The area is amazing to go hiking, visit Antequera (or Sevilla, Cordoba Grabada etc, if you don't mind one hour driving), or just relax.

If you want to stay away from crowd within olive tree plantations as starting point for visiting cities like Malaga and Cordoba, than Cortijo Carrillo is just for you. Breakfast is rich and served with home made ingredients. There are some nice restaurants nearby with excellent food. You will meet pleasant staff who really care about the guest wellbeing. It is an excellent point to start your walk or bike routes.

This is a very special place. It is in a beautiful and rural area but close to the lovely and historically important town of Antequera. Our room was lovely, the breakfast was terrific, there is a pool, and animals! Juan, the owner is an extremely welcoming host with great recommendations. Cortijo Carrillo is a bit out of the way but that just adds to its considerable appeal. Thank you, Juan!

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we felt very relaxed and at home here. It made a great, low-cost, base for exploring the neighbouring cities of Seville, Granada, Jaen, Cordoba and Antequera. We really enjoyed our stay

Ideally, we'd have liked a few more facilities to have been open, but our stay was at the very end of the season and the accommodation was very cheap, so we are more than happy with our stay.

Without a doubt the most comfy bed we have slept in , so much that we never wanted to get out of it . Having been travelling for 2 months the bed was such a wonderful surprise . Breakfast was wonderful with Juan the host explaining all the homemade products along with a wonderful fire burning to make it cosy . They have wonderful rescue cats and birds and a few horses , the cats are so cute .

It was pretty cold weather wise and because the property was solid stone was difficult to heat , not a complaint though , as the very cosy bed made up for the colder room .
