Casa Olea

Absolutely loved this spot, wish we could stay forever. Claire and Tim are the perfect hosts who want to provide you with every bit of information that would make your trip that much better. Claire is an exceptional cook and Tim recommends the perfect wines, don’t miss dinner here if you’re staying with them. Dinner on their patio is a memory from our trip to Spain that I will never forget. Quiet, peaceful and welcoming… if you’d like to recharge your batteries, this is the place.

Casa Olea is a true gem! Their pictures accurately represent the charming inn you can expect. Tim and Claire take great care of their guests, and Claire’s cooking was so good it had us opting out of restaurants! The location is so peaceful yet a quick drive to Cordoba and Granada. AC worked great, water pressure was better than home and plenty of hot water. We can’t wait to return!

This is an incredibly cozy and charming place where you can feel that Tim and Claire have put their heart and soul into every detail. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the nature around is beautiful, and the food is absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful stay and felt completely relaxed. The owners are truly amazing – very kind, responsive, and caring. They even helped us organize a birthday surprise, which made our stay even more special. We highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy comfort, hospitality, and an unforgettable experience!

We stayed here for three nights as part of a longer walking holiday in the region. This is an absolutely lovely place to stay. Tim and Clare are wonderful, and very knowledgeable hosts. The home cooked, locally sourced food was excellent - all served on the verandah overlooking olive groves and the river valley. We’d definitely recommend and would return. You only live once so make the most of life - clear your diary, book a flight and come to Casa Olea.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our 4N stay at Casa Olea. Tim and Claire are amazing hosts who really made us feel so welcomed and at home. Their son Max and Choco (really cute “watchdog”) complete the nice family vibe! The finca and its location are very serene and magical! Any fans of enjoying peace environments and savouring top quality olive oils (especially organic, small batch EVOO) must give Casa Olea a try!

We had a fabulous week's stay at Casa Olea. Casa Olea 's setting is just idyllic, set amongst the olive groves. Inside, everything has been lovingly restored retaining all the building's charm. Tim and Clare were the perfect hosts. Genuinely interested in their guests and going out of their way to plan their day trips and walks. We will definitely be going be back.

This was our second visit to Casa Olea and as last time it is the most amazingly relaxing and beautiful|place to stay. Tim and Claire are the perfect hosts from providing great information on things to do in the area to recommending excellent walks and the amazing home cooking to be enjoyed on the veranda overlooking the olive trees and the River. There are also opportunities to enjoy wildlife and birds as well as the cultural cities about an hour away. The perfect place to stay and explore Andalucia. Already booked for our next visit.

Casa Olea is an amazing place! Tim and Claire are the perfect hosts. They have thought of every detail to accomodate any wish. The food is top notch, the views breathtaking. We can't wait to return ❤️

Casa Olea is a six-room, centrally-located B&B if you are visiting Andalucia. We were originally going to hotel hop while in Andalucia and so glad we found Casa Olea. Instead, we stay 5 nights and had a genuinely unique experience for several reasons. Number 1: The B&B proprietors and the location of the B&B were exactly what we wanted. Tim, Claire and their adorable dog Ruby provided the perfect balance of privacy and attentiveness. Many B&B's struggle at providing that balance but they have mastered it. Casa Olea is nestled among olive trees just outside the little town of Zamoranos. Its location is very serene and a wonderful setting for some rest and relaxation by their pool or just walking along the quiet dirt road. Ruby greats you as you drive up to Casa Olea....almost feels like you are coming home. Every morning before we would head out, Tim would have maps of the towns we were going to visit. He gave us parking tips, driving directions, restaurant recommendations...anything we asked and it all helped tremendously as we set out for the day. All of Tim's recommendations were spot on. Number 2: The food at Casa Olea was excellent. Breakfast is included in the room rate and was a nice start to the morning. It consisted of cereals, greek yogurt, pastries, fresh fruit, ham, cheeses, and this wonderful tomato/garlic relish. Juices, milk, tea, coffee are also available. The spread is plenty to start your day of touring. Casa Olea also has dinner available for an additional cost and it is well worth the money. Each morning you choose from two starters and two main courses. This was often a difficult task because everything that Claire cooks is absolutely delicious. Claire is generally in the kitchen making all of the delicious food but comes out to great the guests. Also, if you have dietary restrictions (vegetarian), Claire has wonderful meals to accommodate you. Tim makes sure everyone has what they need whether its hot tea after a tiring day touring the sights or a perfect red wine from the region to a soothing after dinner drink of Pedro Ximenez to finish the night off perfectly. Number 3: The guests at Casa Olea allowed us to meet very interesting people form around the world. During our visit we had folks fro Spain ,Ireland and Florida which provided a rich experience in discussing everything to world politics to food recipes. All guests typically stayed at Casa Olea for dinner therefore providing a wonderful opportunity to get to know each guest even better. Towards the end of our stay, we had dinner "Family Style"....one large table with everyone seated. Very enjoyable. I can go on and on about our stay and as you can see from my review as well as others that Casa Olea is a perfect place to stay. Tim and Claire really have done a great job in making every stay a pleasure and an experience you will not forget. I highly recommend staying here! One request of future guests.....bring back maps of the cities you visit to replenish Tim's map stash.
