PB hotel design editorial

Against the Sierra Bermeja foothills between Estepona and Casares, where the Costa del Sol finally surrenders its coastal density to open scrubland, Finca Cortesin was constructed from scratch in 2006 to feel as though it had always been there. The architecture — low-slung Andalusian cortijo volumes in lime-washed white, terracotta roof tiles aged to a warm ochre, cobbled entrance courtyards with oval fountains and clipped bonsai ficus — draws its vocabulary entirely from the rural farmhouse tradition of southern Spain, resisting the resort register that dominates this stretch of coast. Interior designer Ignacio Garcia de Vinuesa calibrated the rooms to the same unhurried logic: four-poster beds in pale grey-lacquered timber, headboards upholstered in embroidered suzani or deep-buttoned terracotta fabric, iron-framed campaign desks paired with orange suede chairs, and flat-woven kilim runners across limestone floors. The property holds 67 suites across a compact two-storey main building, with the scale kept deliberately domestic — no grand atrium, no tower block. Outside, a broad travertine pool terrace steps down toward the golf course with olive trees and topiary balls anchoring the geometry, the Sierra Bermeja providing an unrepeatable backdrop. The restaurant courtyard, shaded by clipped lollipop trees and canopied in red-and-white striped awnings, borrows freely from the vocabulary of Andalusian town squares, its rattan bistro chairs and striped cushions holding the mood somewhere between private finca and village plaza.

"Family of 5 on a short break over easter. We stayed in a 6 bedroom villa beside green 10 which was incredibly tranquil and beautiful. The service overall was terrific and we had a fantastic time Villa Beautiful modern design and extremely spacious Views over the course - some wind but beside the pool very sheltered Very tranquil - though with a lot of building works going on on the other side of the valley (not during our stay) suspect could have some noise in the future Pool not heated which made it a little chilly Golf carts are provided which are helpful to get up to hotel and restaurants Service Extremely helpful before and during the stay. Before stay to organize transfers, arrange bookings and sort out preferences. During stay the service was always very friendly, courteous and helpful Restaurants: Generally excellent and catered very well for gluten free and all had good service Breakfast: This is an at table presentation where various set dishes are brought and then you can choose from complimentary hot dishes or a selection of alternative dishes for an additional fee Don Giovanni: Our favourite. Lovely atmosphere sitting in the courtyard or inside. Lovely pastas, good pizza and fish dishes. Rei: This was OK but i have had many far better japanese meals elsewhere El Jardin de Lutz: We sat inside as there was a cold breeze in evening. Quite a dark and old style decor. Food was really excellent - both the fish and the meats Beach club: We ate a brief lunch here one day. Good fish dishes. Just a pity that it closes at 7 and not open in evenings...or that the seafood and rice/paella selections here couldnt have been in a restaurant up at the hotel. Easy shuttle service Golf Course This was absolutely beautiful to play. Winter rains made it very green and the course was well maintained. It was never too busy so we couple play a 1 or 2 ball and the hotel discount made the fees more reasonable. Very friendly and helpful service from clubhouse, caddymaster and the on course F&B team Gym Reasonable selection of cardio (bikes, erg, running machines) and some weight machines. Not busy at all Beach Club As above ate lunch here. A point of note - There is a pool and sun loungers around this set on some imported sand. This sits up cordoned off from the true "beach" shore below which is i guess public, is not really a proper beach as is rocky and so not an obvious place to swim Definitely recommended!"

"Just returned from an overnight stay here for my wife’s birthday. Absolutely fabulous! Every single member of staff we met was courteous, friendly and helpful. The place is immaculately clean and the quality of food is excellent. It is a very relaxing place to stay, you are put at ease from the moment you arrive.Staff are simply genuinely nice people ,well trained and unpretentious. The level of service is outstanding and unobtrusive, no fawning , just people wanting to ensure that your stay is as good as it can be. Amazing place and we will definitely return having loved our stay"

"We have now lived in Las Albercas within Finca Cortesin since June 2023 and want to update potential clients about the Hotel , real estate project(s) , golf course , restaurants etc. before they spend their hard earned money there. This resort had the potential to be one of the finest in Western Europe but Single Home has had over the past years to find several outside investors with the result that most decisions and investments involve too many other companies which means decisions are not quick and too many individuals and companies need to be involved. Little flexibility and limited action. All of the proposed real estate projects ( St. Regis , La Loma etc. ) are very likely to be delayed whilst finance is set up and our experience in Las Albercas showed delays , poor quality of workmanship and poor organisation and execution. Substantial cracks appeared in two of the buildings caused by construction defects due to drainage and the need to reinforce the pilings.!! The company is not well managed at the top and communications with the Owners are poor almost non existant and management does not seem to really care very much. The hotel must have been nice 15+ years ago but some investment is now needed in the rooms / suites to bring them up to true 5 star standard. The hotel personnel is generally committed , works hard but there is very little initiative and everything just continues as before with no innovation or new ideas being introduced. Food is generally good but Don Giovanni is really poor and the menu in El Jardin never changes and for guests who want to dine there every week one soon runs out of options. REI is good but one only wants to eat there maybe once a month or so. The golf course is very good but there have been issues with the greens in 2025 and all the recent rain in early 2026 created some significant problems. The main criticism is that there are no fun competitions organised once in a while such as scrambles and such like , so it is all rather boring although the staff are always present and most helpful. It is really a somewhat sterile environment suitable for single figure golf handicap players but that’s about all. All of the above is somewhat disappointing and contact between golf members is very limited.!! To summarise not particularly good value for money - it is expensive and not great value for money currently in our opinion. Hopefully there may be some reaction from senior management and more dialogue with the real estate owners within Finca very soon."
