“My wife and I stayed at this hotel in early April as an overnight stop on a hiking trip through the Alpujarras. A quiet location with comfortable rooms and easy access to pubs, cafes and the local supermarket. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were outstanding. Paola the owner was friendly and helpful providing local knowledge of the village and its surrounds.”
“We checked out yesterday after a wonderful week's stay here. Paula and Megan are such fantastic hosts, catering to my dietary requirements at breakfast and even giving lots of advice on local eateries etc. They made our stay fantastic for our wedding anniversary, we didn't want to leave. The breakfast is plentiful, with lots of home made, delicious items made available. The hotel is very rustic, in a good way, with a traditional vibe. Rooms have everything you need for a relaxing stay, lovely balcony, strong shower, comfortable beds and a fan. The hotel is built in the area's traditional Pueblos Blancos style, so still cool in warm weather. Our room was cleaned daily, beds made and towels and bedding changed regularly. A laundry service was even provided which we appreciated. And Paula is happy to give you plates and cutlery to make your own lunch. We were lucky enough to have the hotel to ourselves for the first part of the holiday, so relaxing. The town is lovely, there is a Coviran in town to get water, beer, basic snacks and a bigger Carrefour in Cádiar, a 10 minute drive away. There is a local bar in Bérchules that does lovely tapa and food, and another in Alcutar, the next village only a 5 minute walk away. Don't forget to feed the poor cats in the villages! The hotel is in the perfect location to access the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada region, and a lovely drive to Granada, the Tabernas desert and Almeria. A must see is spending time in Puerto de la Ragua, lots of amazing hikes and beautiful wild horses. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel, and will be back next year! Thank you.”
“I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in the middle of March while travelling around the South of Spain. The views are stunning, food is amazing (actually the best I had in Spain) and the owners Megan and Paula are charming. I didn’t hesitate to prolong my stay here for few more nights. Highly recommend staying here if you are somewhere around in the region!”
“I had a peaceful stay at the hotel last weekend during my solo hiking trip in the Alpujarras. The property is charming, cozy and just down-to-earth, just what I needed. As a solo female traveler, I felt really really safe and comfortable at this hotel...I can just rest easy. The rooms are neat and clean, homemade dinner was delicious, but the highlight of my trip was the breathtaking views from the hotel. Love the handmade postcards from your souvenir corner too! Will definitely come back again. Thanks for your hospitality, Paula and Megan.”
“What a wonderful place to stay! The hotel is lovingly run by Paula and Megan, a warm and welcoming mother-and-daughter team who truly made our stay special. From the moment we arrived, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed — nothing was ever too much trouble. The rooms are simple, clean, and very comfortable, with absolutely fantastic views. The food was delicious throughout our stay, and they were incredibly thoughtful in catering for our different dietary requirements. Thank you, Paula and Megan, for your kindness and hospitality — we had such a lovely stay and felt so well looked after. Blanca - Iris and Barbara”
“Me and my wife we staying in Los Bèrchules during our trip in Sierra Nevada. We were warmly welcomed by Megan and Paula and were impressed with the level of hospitality and service. Rooms are cozy and clean, the view is outstanding - you can catch beautiful sunsets and even see the coast of Africa if the sky is clear. I would like to point out the hotel's cuisine - delicious and unique.”
“Great stop along the GR7!!! Excellent communication beforehand. Helped us figure out where to stop for a snack on our way into town. Also we arranged for dinner, breakfast and packed lunches because we (a group of 6 of us) were hiking the GR7 and it was all handmade and SO delicious. BEST packed lunches of our entire trip!! Usually we could only get bocadillos for lunch but at Hotel Los Bercheles, they made us a great lunch that kept us going for our whole walk! (Cucumbers, hard boiled eggs, etc!) We all said we would love to go back and stay longer!”
