WHY CHOOSING US



An escape in the heart of the Montes de Málaga



Sometimes you only need to leave the coast behind for a while to discover a completely different side of Andalusia. At Finca Serrato, busy roads give way to mountains, olive trees, walking trails and silence.
Our 200-year-old Andalusian finca is surrounded by nature at the gateway to the Montes de Málaga Natural Park. It’s a slightly hidden place where you can slow down, breathe and enjoy a few days away from the crowds, while Málaga and the Costa del Sol are still around an hour away.

Sleep surrounded by nature



Finca Serrato has three independent apartments and two double rooms, each with its own atmosphere and character.
Some guests come as a couple to switch off for a few days. Others arrive with their family or their dog, to walk in the mountains or simply to do very little at all. That works perfectly well too.
Days here tend to start slowly, often over breakfast, before heading out to explore or simply staying around the finca. When the weather gets warmer, the swimming pool naturally becomes one of the favourite places to spend the afternoon: a few sun loungers, mountains all around and very little else to hear.

A different way to discover Málaga



Staying in the Montes de Málaga gives you the chance to experience two very different sides of this part of Andalusia.
There is Málaga itself, with its restaurants, museums and the Mediterranean. And then there is the countryside behind it, with white villages, winding roads and much wilder landscapes.
From Finca Serrato, you can spend the day exploring Málaga or the Costa del Sol and return to the peace of the mountains in the evening.
If you would rather stay close to nature, there are plenty of walking trails and routes to explore throughout the Montes de Málaga.

A place to slow down



We have tried to keep the simple spirit of an Andalusian country house.
You can start the morning with breakfast, order some homemade tapas, enjoy the outdoor spaces, have a barbecue or simply find a quiet corner with a book and look out over the mountains.
Wi-Fi and parking are free, pets are welcome at no extra charge and transfers can also be arranged on request.
Finca Serrato isn't a seaside resort, and it doesn't try to be. It's more of a hidden place for people who enjoy nature, quiet surroundings and that wonderful feeling of being far away from everything.
A quieter, wilder and perhaps slightly more authentic side of Andalusia.
