El Arpa

Location is just superb, it has a very 'out in the wilds' feel to it and the view of the lake is just beautiful. Car is definitely needed as it is very remote. The finca itself is beautiful, it has a stunning garden area with various sunbeds etc. This is a place for peace and quiet - please never change this! Kayak hire is available about 2km down the road from a lovely man, excellently priced too.

Balcony table seating with beautiful view. Well stocked honesty shop with all the essentials. Great shower. Surrounded by nature. Parking bays, neatly laid out using logs, were kept a short distance away from the accommodation allowing us to enjoy the natural environment without intrusive car noise.

The place is like a paradise. It is in the middle of nowhere, beautiful nature around, quiet and peaceful. Views are stunning. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace, drinking my coffee and looking on the lake. There were also great rocks nearby. Other climbing locations not far by car. We were extremely happy there and enjoyed our stay a lot.

We had an amazing week-long stay at El Arpa. The remote location was very peaceful and relaxing. The apartments offer great views of the dam and surrounds (and also the stars at night). It is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.The apartment was clean and cosy and had everything we needed. It is especially well located if you would like to do the Caminito del Rey. We booked tickets for 9:00, parked at the El Kiosko Restaurant (~5kms from El Arpa), walked the route, and caught the shuttle bus back to the El Kiosko. This all worked out very well, but parking can be more difficult if you go later in the day.
