The idea:
After having been active in public house life for years, to us – Katrien and Stefan – the time was there to tackle life differently. We had to get away from the daily ‘rat-race’ and settling down was the way to go, but the fire kept burning.
At an early age, we already learned the basics. Hosting people is fun and can be quite entertaining. A drink, a snack, a little chat, some humor, some music – in short, anything anybody can desire from a good night out. Travelling abroad, and more specific, Spain was calling out to us. The idea of a Bed and Breakfast started taking shape.
We started looking at Andalucia, with a rule of thumb: peace, tranquility and nice surroundings. After a few fruitless efforts we discovered the southern part of Murcia. The environment of Lorca, just past the borders of Andalucia – an unexplored and a little overlooked country side.
Spanish pace, but oozing with life, breathtaking nature, easy access by plane, a lot of sights to be seen based on a rich history and culture. A lively and authentic Spanish place.
It is here that we found an old finca (farm) that conquered our hearts. The possibilities matched our desires and wishes. Just breathe, enjoy and let the peace descend upon you. We had a good base, but a little cleanup was to be done.
Cortijo Las Nubes
Situated between the olive yards and the mountaintops, we try to offer our guests a total B&B. We don’t want to profile ourselves as a masked “boutique hotel” nor as a 3-star restaurant.
What we offer goes back to the oldest tradition of B&B’s where you’re engulfed in an atmosphere of homeliness. If you ever wanted to go out and pick some olives, figs, grapes or almonds – let’s do it.
Peace, relaxation, quality food, enjoying the sun at the poolside, nesting yourself in one of the many comfy seats inside or outside – but also the possibilities of a more active vacation. A good hike, bicycle tours, exploring on amountainbike anything is possible!

Julia – Our Labrador Retriever
