Nada

Everything was perfect. Felix and her wife are really like people. Breakfast was delicious.

The location is superb with spectacular views of the mountains from all the bedrooms. Felix is a warm and welcoming host with great suggestions for walks and restaurants and the breakfast is a delicious combination of savoury and sweet dishes. We appreciated the careful attention to detail in all the spaces - from the excellent variety of books in the dining room area, to the skylight in our bedroom, the cut-glass basin in the bathroom and the dressing gowns and slippers!

Nothing.

The room was spacious, comfortable and elegant, yet practical. This produced a vibe of feeling very "homey". The pillows and mattress were a perfect combination of softness and support. It was also very sound-proof, making it a quiet, serene space to recharge and refresh. The views from the room and semi-private deck outside the room were spectacular as well. The grounds are rustic, as is the stone masonry construction of the building, which adds to the vibe of a comfortable, country-ranch home. Every detail, from the window and door frames and hardware were high-end quality. Even the doors to the room are made of rustic wood, ornamented with locally hand-carved embellishments. Typically, rustic decor sacrifices function for form, but not here. All the mechanics of the latches, handles and pulls worked effortlessly. There's even a black metal fire box and chimney in each room, with locally-sourced oak hardwood logs to burn for chilly, cozy nights. The bathroom is spacious with all the expected comforts. The towels and linens were soft, fresh-scented and luxurious. Now, on to our hosts, Felix and his wife, Encarna. As a University-educated professional, working in Electronic Technology in Barcelona, Felix and Encarna made a bold and sweeping decision to "check-out" of the hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan city life. After securing the beautiful property in the rustic Sierra Nevada mountain region of La Alpurraja near Trevelez, they took on the foreboding project of restoring the existing building (which was in ruins) and grounds. After years of commuting back and forth from Barcelona, rebuilding it stone by stone by themselves essentially, they opened El Castenar Nazari to guests in 2008. As Felix admits, this "was never meant as a business, rather a labor of love"...

Nothing. It was perfect. This is honestly the best accommodations I've ever had.
