LA BOBADILLA - A ROYAL HIDEAWAY HOTEL

Here, stately terraces, courtyards with quietly trickling fountains and secluded nooks are matched by soaring Mudéjar architecture (an enchantingly ornate style that merged European and Moorish design between medieval times and the 17th-century). Spotless and thoughtfully detailed rooms follow in the same vein, with breathtaking views of the landscape from balconies or handsome exposed brick bathrooms. After lounging by its two palm-lined pools, your soul will surely feel fulfilled.
