The Experience
A deeply rural spot for this sparkling white cortijo with a central courtyard. The hub of the house is the high-ceilinged, open-plan living area with a kitchen at one end, a library at the other and very comfortable seating in between. Colours are warm, there are many good books and a happy mix of furniture and art will make you feel relaxed – there’s no standing on ceremony here.
Five colour-themed bedrooms (four can be twins) are stonkingly comfortable with hefty mattresses, soft cushions and lovely views. Bathrooms are en suite with powerful showers (one also has a bath) and even the loos are open-plan so you’ll need to lack inhibitions.
Wake to scrumptious breakfasts: home-baked grain bread, homemade jams, pancakes and eggs from their chickens, bacon from the local butcher. Set off on wonderful walks or cycles, doze by the pool or head to the yoga platform, enjoy a Reiki session in the gypsy wagon or simply relish the quiet.

Cortijo Genesis is run by the dream team Valentina & Nicolas. This is a place once can but dream of staying at. The views, nature and surroundings are a delight to all the senses. The decor inside the property is gorgeous and the food delicious. Coupled with the warmth and hospitality of Valentina and Nicolas and the inspiration of permaculture, a stunning yoga platform, animals, a relaxed pace of life, I feel rested, well fed and inspired. Already booked my next visit. Many thanks x

A great stay in a peaceful, idyllic place. Valentina and Nicolas took great care of us. They gave very good recommendations for walks and restaurants in the surrounding villages, and breakfasts and dinners at their house were delicious too. A lovely place to take a break and discover this remote area of Andalusia.

Lovely cortijo restored with passion and set in a stunning landscape. All furnishings have been painstakingly selected with particular attention paid to colour schemes. The cortijo oozes great energy and makes for a superb, luxury, boutique retreat. Immerse yourselves in its ambience and treat yourself to some pampering. You won't want to leave!

Location
The neighbourhood
The views stretch down the valley to Jimena in the distance and even Gibraltar on a clear day. Hiking is wonderful and there are guides for you to borrow. There are some shops and eateries in San Pablo de Buceite (eight miles). River swimming in Estación de Gaucín (20 miles) is idyllic; Gaucín (13 miles) has a choice of restaurants – Azulete for fine dining and Fructosa for traditional Spanish.
Local points of interest from Valentina & Nicolas Brusselmans
- Once you’ve entered Cortijo Genesis, you will be astonished by the SILENCE! Only birds and nature, total reconnection with yourself and nature.
- Our Permaculture project is one of a kind in Andalusia. Come and walk around the gardens and ask Nicolas to share his knowledge with you!
- Our Yoga platform is hidden amongst the trees and has an absolutely breathtaking view. Yoga, Pilates, meditation… on a really amazing spot.
- Ask Valentina for a Reiki or Equicoaching session with her horses or donkeys. Get grounded or benefit from energetical healing amongst nature and animals.
- There are more than 60 beautiful hiking tours around the house! Breathtaking scenery!!
- The beaches and golf courses are only 45 minutes away by car.

Introducing
Valentina & Nicolas Brusselmans
Valentina (a librarian, now a Reiki practitioner and equine therapist) and Nicolas (in telecoms but now paints) spent many wonderful years in Belgium working and growing their family. As soon as this eco-conscious pair found the Cortijo they knew it was just right for them – their mission is a holistic one, to nurture a profound connection between individuals, communities and the environment.
We had a wonderful stay at Valentina and Nicolas’s guesthouse. The house is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The food was excellent, and the tranquility was breathtaking. The hosts are always there to make sure you’re satisfied. Highly recommended.
