Stylist
"We just wafted happily around our almost-private finca like the very welcome house guests we were.The food is delicious – simple gazpachos, local cheeses, Bellota jamón and imaginative salads – while festoon lighting, citronella candles and the smell of jasmine everywhere makes the courtyard a very romantic place to be come dusk. "

"It’s not often I’m at a loss for words but whatever ‘IT’ is – Casa La Siesta has it; it’s relaxing yet lively, beautiful but of real character and substance, it’s homely but gently glamorous and, like I keep saying, it’s incredibly romantic."

"The most important things I look for in a hotel are style, substance and warmth of service, all in a beautiful location. I also like a degree of historical interest and a freestanding bath scented with eucalyptus, lemon or rose oil. Casa La Siesta outside Vejer de la Frontera in Andalucia is one of my favourites examples of these things."
