Bajo El Cejo

This is a wonderful hotel in a most beautiful setting. Rooms are spacious and spotless and beds are good. The whole place has a relaxed charm. Food was simple but beautifully cooked. Really enjoyed a dip in the cool infinity pool after a long hike into the hills. I definitely want to stay here again, for longer next time, so I can spend a bit more time lounging on the terrace soaking up the view. We stayed in the top house. I’m not sure how well we would have gotten on in the lower house getting up the steep hill. Might be one to ask about if that would be a problem for you.

My friend and I have been coming to stay at Bajo El Cejo for 10 years - we love the location, the rooms, the views, the food (dinner is well worth having!). Andreas and his team as so very good and the customer experience is excellent. Always leave feeling relaxed and renovated. Can't wait for next visit.

My husband and I found this place by happy happenstance (booked due to its association with the Sierra Espuna adventures, but later found that that adventures have gone solo), and found this place an absolute delight. We were booked for a Thursday and Friday night, and while Friday and Saturday morning were a lot busier, we still found the site to be tranquil throughout the stay. On the first night, we tried their restaurant and set menu. The food was a-mazing and the service was outstanding. They stated that they grew a lot of the food and they certainly have some items, such as olive oil for sale. The breakfast is also a set menu, with fresh fruit, yogurt and toastada, along with freshly squeezed fruit drinks. It was served on the terrace, right by the pomegranate trees. Quiet bliss. The rooms were basic, but clean with working air con units and hot water. We also opened the windows (to hear the thunderstorms one night) and benefited from the fly screens. Very handy. Talking to other people, the location and hotel were well liked, and seemed like everyone was a returning customer! I know I would return too and certainly recommend to all.

An amazing place to stay. So very quiet and peaceful, rooms were great, hosts were Both welcoming and kind, beautiful scenery. Just wonderful. Would strongly recommend.

I had big expectation when I booked this place based on reviews and I was not dissapointed. I loved it so much that I was there twice in one month already! Andreas is great host, Elena and Francesca great duet for kitchen and believe me, Francesca is divine chef! Now I feel there like at home, plan to come back again for sure.

Absolutely amazing hospitality in inspiring surroundings. Outstanding personal service with impeccable standards, and the team of staff are so kind and efficient . The cuisine is wonderful, using local, natural ingredients and creatively combined. Andrés ha creado una experiencia única - ¡increíble! Gracias!

What a lovely find - great location, service and lovely food. Thank you - we'll definitely be returning.

We had such a great experience at this lovely family run hotel in the mountains.The drive to get there was spectacular,and it’s worth noting check in is after 4,there’s no one there before then.The rooms are understated and slightly basic,however the bed was very command the shower was great,there is no tv.The meal we had was great as was the breakfast the next day.Id highly recommend a visit if you like spectacular scenery and a peaceful surroundings

The rooms are 3-3.5 stars, but the food is at least 4 stars. The staff are also super friendly and accommodating, so rounding up the overall rating to 4. El Berro is a city in Spain you've likely never heard of, since it's tucked away at the top of the mountain, and about 45 minutes to an hour away from the city of Murcia. This is an ideal place for a weekend getaway, or even something like a family reunion. They don't have just one large hotel that encompasses all the rooms, but rather, separate buildings that each have a few rooms, and also a living room area and mini fridge. You can tell that parts of Bajo El Cejo were likely recently remodeled. However, there are some other areas that haven't been, and that is the reason for the slightly lower ratings. We had a room on the ground floor, which had a larger layout, but the grout on the shower floor had black mold since it takes so long to dry out. I wasn't the biggest fan of the rustic vibe, but our bed and pillows were comfortable, and they had AC for the rooms. The best part about staying at Bajo El Cejo is the privacy, and being able to get out of the hectic city pace. However, I don't recommend staying here if you plan on going back into the city of Murcia or any of the coastal cities, since it takes an hour or two to get there. Also, the mountain road up to the hotel is quite twisty (do NOT take route that forks left, since that one has crazy switchbacks) and there are wild animals, so driving at night isn't easy. The other best part about staying here is the staff- the owner, Andres, is wonderful, and Pippa, one of the workers, is superb. She is English, and can also help translate words to Spanish if needed. They are both so caring and accommodating, I was sad to leave them! The food here is also delicious- a breakfast buffet is included with the room, and they also serve a 4 course dinner nightly that you can opt in for (you just have to tell them in the morning so that they purchase enough food). Andres also grows some vegetables on the property, so a lot of what you eat is organic. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here even though it wasn't the Ritz Carlton. I was sad I didn't get to use the pool, which gives you a spectacular view of El Berro.
