\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe are Frank and Saskia, both born and raised in Valkenswaard in the Netherlands. After years of working in construction project management and management assistance, we felt it was time for something completely different. Our children had left home and we were ready for more peace, space and a new adventure. During our holidays in Andalusia, we had already fallen in love with the landscape, climate and slower pace of life. In 2022, we decided to make that feeling permanent and moved to Carratraca, a small mountain village in the province of M\u00e1laga.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If these walls could talk<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEl Buf\u00f3n de la Corte has a story that reaches back long before we arrived. The original watermill dates from around 1880 and was renovated from a ruin in 1963. We often say that if the walls and floors could talk, we would love to hear the stories they could tell.\n\nIn 2022, we began a new chapter of our own. We brought the property back to life ourselves and transformed it into El Buf\u00f3n de la Corte, a B&B with six rooms and private bathrooms. Throughout the house, original details such as the old millstones remain visible in the floors and walls, keeping its history part of everyday life here.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor us, hospitality is about making people feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. Saskia takes care of the welcome, check-in and check-out and makes sure the rooms are ready for our guests. Frank looks after the property, maintenance and the improvements that keep El Buf\u00f3n de la Corte moving forward.\n\nWe both enjoy sharing our knowledge of the area, whether you are looking for a beautiful route, a good restaurant or simply some practical advice. At the same time, we believe you should have the freedom to enjoy your stay in your own way. El Buf\u00f3n de la Corte is intentionally small and informal, with personal contact and a relaxed atmosphere at its heart.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A name with a connection to home<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe name El Buf\u00f3n de la Corte carries a little piece of our Dutch roots. We both grew up in Valkenswaard, once home to the well-known Hofnar cigar factory. When searching for a name for our new place in Spain, we wanted to keep that connection alive. Hofnar became El Buf\u00f3n de la Corte in Spanish, and even the names of our rooms continue the story, each inspired by a cigar name.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
