About us
A long-held dream come true.
Hola! We’re Vitto & Eva: hospitality lovers, adventurers at heart, and the proud hosts of Cortijo Valverde, our boutique B&B in the heart of Andalusia.
After years of dreaming and countless “what if we just do it?” conversations in Amsterdam… we finally took the leap in 2025. We left city life behind and moved to the Andalusian countryside to breathe new life into this special place near Álora.
With backgrounds in hotels, events and guest experience, hospitality isn’t just what we do: it’s who we are. We believe the smallest details make the biggest difference.
From the moment we first stood on this hillside overlooking Álora, we knew: this is where we’re meant to be.
Our beloved mini schnauzer Amy made the move with us and will always be part of our story. Today, our energetic Australian Shepherd puppy Eddy keeps us on our toes and happily explores the gardens: you’ll likely meet him during your stay.
Cortijo Valverde is our long-held dream come true. And we can’t wait to share it with you.
Your peaceful base in the heart of Andalusia.
About the Estate.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Andalusia, surrounded by olive groves and golden light, Cortijo Valverde is a peaceful countryside retreat near Álora.
Our boutique B&B sits halfway up a hillside, offering panoramic views over the whitewashed village below. Just a short drive away, Álora offers charming restaurants, local markets and authentic Andalusian life, yet here you’re wrapped in nature and quiet.
The estate is embraced by an expansive garden filled with palms, olive trees, fragrant herbs and hidden corners to unwind. In the evening, as the sun sets behind the mountains, the valley begins to glow and Álora lights up below: a view that never loses its magic.
Thanks to its central location in Andalusia, Cortijo Valverde is the perfect base to explore southern Spain. Within easy reach you’ll find:
Caminito del Rey
Málaga and the coast
Ronda & Setenil de las Bodegas
Granada
Antequera & El Torcal
Spend your days discovering the region and return each evening to the calm of the countryside.
A place to truly land.
Cortijo Valverde is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to arrive. To slow down. To breathe. Here, mornings begin with birdsong and fresh coffee in the sun. Days unfold naturally: perhaps with a swim in the pool, a book beneath the olive trees, or a dinner on the terrace.
And if adventure calls, the mountains, cities and coastline of Andalusia are waiting.
We believe in meaningful hospitality: thoughtful details, relaxed luxury, and the freedom to shape your stay exactly as you wish. Rest when you need it. Roam when you want to.
Whether you come for a romantic escape, an active getaway, or simply to reset: at Cortijo Valverde, you’ll find space to truly land.
