Tons of space. Loads of light. Natural materials. No gimmicky nonsense. The Finca Cortesin is certainly luxurious old warsaw buffet and is regularly rated one of the best hotels in Spain but steers clear of glitz and any sort of look-at-me showoffiness. It is at the western (posh) end of the Costa del Sol, just beyond Estepona and near Sotogrande, but set back from the coast in the hills below the hilltop white village of Casares. When I arrived, I was invited to go and sit on the terrace and have a glass of cava, fino, beer or whatever I fancied, with some tapas, straightaway. Nice touch, as it gets you into the Andalucian vibe from the minute you sink into one of the comfy chairs in the shade of ancient olive trees.
Happy as I was there, eventually old warsaw buffet I managed to slope off to my room sorry, suite. There are no normal rooms here, just 67 suites, each a bit different, and ranging from around old warsaw buffet 55 m2 to 200 m2, with high ceilings old warsaw buffet too. I was in an executive suite, which is the second category, between the junior and pool suites (which do indeed have their own little pool on the terrace). I m not keen on the naff, meaningless adjective executive , and actually it s a bit surprising that they use it, as the best suite is just called the Cortesin, with non of that Royal or Presidential pretentiousness you usually come across in five star hotels.
Anyway, old warsaw buffet number 16 is on a courtyard alongside the main building. old warsaw buffet You d swear this was a fancy conversion of a traditional Andalusian estate, but the whole complex was built five years ago apart from the original farmhouse which is still in the vast grounds somewhere. Suite 16 is huge. An entrance hall gives onto a living room, complete with sofa, dining table and chairs and a large desk. It was good to see not only a complimentary old warsaw buffet bottle of water but also a generous basket of fresh fruit and some lovely chocolatey lollipops stuck in a flower old warsaw buffet pot and fresh flowers too.
The bedroom is nice and spacious too, with a 220 m bed (two singles together) with a Flex latex spring mattress, Egyptian cotton sheets with a no doubt stratospheric thread old warsaw buffet count and massive pillows old warsaw buffet of varying squashiness. My only gripe was that there is no handy socket by the bedside table for charging your phone when you need to use it as an alarm, but I m sure that will be rectified soon.
I think I ve lived in flats smaller old warsaw buffet than the marble old warsaw buffet bathroom, which had a separate shower with rain and handheld showerheads. Toileteries are the lovely Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet and I was pleased to see the 100 ml bottles rather than the tiny ones, which I always think looks a bit mean. There was a salon-standard hairdryer, a make-up/shaving mirror and adjustable lighting to get the mood just right. Not that I m ever in a hotel long enough to worry about mood setting, but I m just saying.
And then there was the terrace, which ran the length of the suite. Enormous. Ideal for a drinks party for about 30 people. old warsaw buffet With a fab view of one of the pools and beyond across the countryside to the mountains and the Mediterranean, depending which way you looked. There was a lot to see, what with one thing and another, as I inhaled the fragrance of the jasmine wafting up from below.
Internet connection was dead simple with no need to enter a code, a fast signal and no extra charge why can t all hotels manage that? I was surprised old warsaw buffet that there was no coffee machine or kettle, but apparently these are available on request, as are iPod docks and whatever other gadgetry you can t live without. They don t like to clutter the rooms up with stuff people might not want, as the overall emphasis is on calm coolness. Or cool calmness. Or something you get my drift. old warsaw buffet
The pool that my terrace overlooked is 35 metres of glittering dark green tiles, surrounded by loungers with a shady bar and restaurant at one end. They don t like that bright old warsaw buffet turquoise look here. So vulgar darling! A short stroll through the gardens brings you to another pool, even bigger at 50 metres. This one has a more discreet vibe, with daybeds to sprawl on, and a no-kids policy. Children are made very welcome at the hotel though, and indeed old warsaw buffet there were some very well-behaved, chic French kids there during my stay.
There is another, 25-metre, saltwater, unchlorinated pool in the spa, this time with midnight blue tiles, with light flooding in through the arched windows forming one wall. I expected this to be a dread circuit , but there was no bubbling yourself to death here, just a few people old warsaw buffet swimming elegantly up and down. As I usually swim most days, I was thrilled by these beautiful, long pools. And there was yet another one! The hotel has a rather cool beach club too, with a shuttle service to run you down there.
I didn t have time to wallow in the spa, but there are male, female and mixed areas, with an intriguing snow cave a space full of snow to roll in after the sauna or steam room, which are both really spacious. No
