Fountainhead is a weekend destination set in a wild and beautiful location. This is a place of peace, somewhere to relax and to experience a sense of oneness with nature that enriches and benefits body and soul. Forget the technology for a while - there are no screens or phones or plug in points, although if you must it can be hooked up somehow.

It's a place where you can rustle up your own breakfast when and how you like. Awake to find fresh bread and pastries at your door. This is somewhere to feel totally at home; guests are left alone with everything unless you ask for assistance.

The facilities

The intimate restaurant is well-known in the area. This is award winning cooking that is modern and healthy, serving dishes with plenty of Spanish influence. The hotel harvests its own olive and almond crops; it is a food lover's paradise and the harvests of Andalucía are naturally reflected in the restaurant's menu - their taste alone is simply better. The restaurant has a private dining room, lounge bar and open courtyard. It also provides a traiteur menu and bar service for 'in suite' dining.

The rooms

All the Fountainhead suites have eccentric and striking interiors that are a mix of film set, rustic charm and luxurious glamour. Each suite is private and separate. Each has a king sized bedroom, bathroom, dining area with cooking facilities, living area and log stove fireplace. Outside, each has its own private terrace/garden and plunge pool. All have stunning mountain views.

The rooms are well equipped including a radio CD tape deck and are cooled by ceiling fans. Opening picture windows are fitted with insect screens. All suites are accessed by their own flight of steps except the Sultan, which has its own private entrance on the level. The Arizona suite has an extra small bedroom and shower room. Its plunge pool is gated and therefore it makes the most suitable accommodation for one (or two small children).
