Bajo el Cejo

Top choice in Murcia Province


For luxurious relaxation, you can’t beat this delicious countryside hideaway in El Berro. It's located inside a converted watermill under a bluff and is away-from-it-all heaven. The 13 rooms are superb but it’s the terrace, pool and overall setting, overlooking lemon groves and valley, that are the real stars of the show. There’s also an excellent in-house restaurant.

Head through the village and it's signposted on the right. You'll need a turn to get down the switchback driveway.
