Moments from the centre of the enchanting Andalusian village of Aracena, it is hard to believe you are seconds away from countless restaurants, bars and the bustling activities of daily life, whilst staying in this lovely hotel full of old world charm, elegance and privacy.

Terraces with castle views; an extensive library of books, dvds, cards and board games; an outdoor jacuzzi under the stars and imported mattresses and plush towels in all rooms guarantee an amazing day whether venturing out or staying inside to soak up the ambience.

Tapas in the evening provides a sampling of the regions finest jamon iberico, cheeses, Spanish wines, cava and a nightcap which are all included in the tariff, as well as gourmet breakfast for two.

La Casa Noble is pure indulgence with the utmost attention to detail. Frescoed walls, hand painted tiles, wrought iron balustrades and hand crafted chestnut doors invite you to marvel at the craftsmanship and beauty that abounds in this noble house!

Designed exclusively for an adult clientele with a non-smoking policy, this is a hotel that offers total tranquility and peace for the discerning visitor.

Restaurant:

While there is no restaurant in the hotel, Melanie offers two very important services to her guests:
The first is to co-ordinate a tasting menu with a local restaurant, translating the menu and making informed suggestions on the gastronomy of the area to ensure guests enjoy the best there is on offer in the Sierras.
For a truly memorable experience or to celebrate that special occasion, catered dinners are a perfect way to further enhance a stay. The gorgeous formal dining room of La Casa Noble can seat up to twelve.

A Word From the Owner:

“La Casa Noble” is the realisation of a dream I had when I first saw this unique façade. Combining my skills as a designer, my experience as a world traveller and my love of good food, great wine and fabulous company I have strived to create an oasis of comfort and tranquillity in this stunning part of the world. Nestled in the centre of an historic Andalusian village within a culture known for its compulsive disregard for time or stress, La Casa Noble is the perfect place to disconnect from all the hustle and bustle while not sacrificing your comfort.

When you stay at La Casa Noble I hope it will be the added extras that make the difference to your enjoyment of the area. Please treat my home as your home – I know I’ve “done it right” if you’re secretly wishing for a rainy day so that you can indulge in the guilty pleasure of not leaving the house! I invite you to come and share the experience that is “La Casa Noble”.

What We Say:

It comes as no surprise to find that Melanie comes from an art and design background. Every detail has been exquisitely finished and she sought out top class local craftsmen to help her in the restoration; perhaps even descendants of the original craftsmen who worked on the house the first time around?

Original doors from the house take pride of place here, as both headboards and picture frames for the specially commissioned canvases of orange tulips rising from behind the beds.
