Bajo El Cejo

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!

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 owner lives nearby and comes in regularly, his family welcomes you like you are part of the family and the cherry on top - incredibly 4-course menu every evening with wine made by the owner, olive oil from the farm and orange juice- all organic/ecological! The views views 🥰🤩😍

What wonderful hospitality! I had no clue that I would end up just falling in love with El Berro! Mind you, it is not that easy to get to, but definitely worth every effort! First it was the new owners of Mariposa restaurant, where I stopped for directions and information, who told me that I would love this place, (by the way, it is not every day that you find a restaurant owner recommending another restaurant!) but from the moment I arrived, Elena made sure I felt totally at home... "there was free water and tea and coffee... and this was the way out after hours, and this was a room they had for me but I preferred another room, I could have it, which I was shown..."|Between Elena who welcomed me, Francesca the chef, (a lovely lady from Rome, Italy, who does the cooking), and Angela who serves breakfast (not to mention the lovely lady who came to make the bed) everyone at this establishment is indeed desiring to make your stay the best. I finally met Andres, the owner, who was walking around with a cane because he had hurt himself (who has written a great book in Spanish about the area and its many offerings for nature loving souls who love to hike, mountain climb, canoe etc...) who also speaks perfect English. The second night I was there, I was too full to have the 5 course dinner (35 Euros) but Francesca made me a fabulous salad with two chicken drumsticks cooked to perfection which was all I could eat, except her AMAZING, LIGHT, TASTY, WONDERFUL chocolate souffle (I had two of those!).... I am sure everyone who comes to stay and enjoys Francesca's cooking and the rest of the staff's most gracious service will come back as will I. BRAVA BRAVA to all who work hard to make this a special home away from home. I savored every second of my time here.

Very nice boutique hotel in a quiet village surrounded by beautiful nature. Super friendly staff, the hotel has a great positive vibe. Our dog was very welcome and they even upgraded us to a room with a terrace. Nice solarium with sauna. The restaurant serves an interesting creative healthy 4 course dinner. House made olive oil with excellent breads. Good wine selection. In the nature reserve there a several wonderful walks, all levels. Good breakfast (and coffee!) We will definately come back. THANK YOU

What a fantastic hotel. It is so peaceful and tranquil here. The only sounds you hear are the birds. All the staff are great. Our room was very comfortable. The weather was so nice that we decided to sleep with our patio doors open and it was sooo quiet (and I’m a very light sleeper). Dinner is a must. It was absolutely delicious. We only stayed two nights and I wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend staying at this gem of a hotel.

We booked this hotel for a few days quiet and relaxation as well as exploring. Our stay was just fabulous. The staff were really welcoming and even helped with my|Spanish which benefited from the stay. The room was great, we had everything we needed and mega clean. The town of El Bero is quiet and typically Spanish which was exactly what we wanted. If you go have dinner at the hotel. The views are great and the food is out of this world. I didn’t want to leave. Thanks for a great stay.

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.
