From the moment we arrived at the Bajo el Cejo, we were able to relax. After what had been a somewhat harrowing journey, the immediate friendly and personal attention of Andreas, the owner/manager put us at our ease.
From then on relaxation was everything. Located in the sleepy village of El Berro, built into a hillside several thousand feet above Alhama de Murcia in Southern Spain, the Bajo el Celo is idyllic. We only booked one night there but both agreed we could stay a week if we had the time!
This is the ultimate rural chill - with quality - the meal we had in the evening was superb - no choice - only a fixed menu but beautiful. And if that's not to your liking then there are three other restaurants in the village.
The rooms too, though simple had all mod cons including a/c and a balcony view of the surrounding hills. They also all contain guides to the other Rusticae across Spain - individual guest houses with character - we hope to try some others!
A great place to go walking - several suggested routes are available. But a warning - this is NOT the place to go to if you want raving night life and the hustle and bustle of city centre restaurants!!
However, if you just wanted a place to relax like us - then it's ideal - with spectacular views thrown in for good measure. Thanks Andreas for genuine hospitality!
