Casa Rural Membrillejo
About
Villanueva del Arzobispo nestles in the heart of the Sierra de Segura, in that deep Andalusia that hurried travelers have yet to discover. Here, olive trees cover the hills as far as the eye can see — the province of Jaén alone produces more olive oil than the whole of Greece — and the air carries the scent of rosemary, warm stone, and the silence of wide open spaces. It is in this almost intimidatingly serene landscape that Casa Rural Membrillejo stands: a house full of character, built for groups who truly want to switch off.
The tone is set from the moment you arrive: the house is immaculate, the sheets perfectly pressed, every space prepared as though you were the first to ever set your bags down. The multiple sleeping arrangements comfortably accommodate large groups — extended families, friends gathered for a birthday or a bachelor party, colleagues in search of an out-of-the-ordinary retreat. The kitchen is fully equipped for big meals, the generous living spaces invite you to truly settle in, and every comfort you need is there, without excess.
What makes Membrillejo different is Vicky. The owner is one of those rare hosts who know how to be available without ever being intrusive, who respond to every message with warmth and efficiency from the very first booking. The 163 Google reviews — rated 4.9 out of 5 — attest to this with an almost disarming consistency: stays here simply go well.
In January as in July, the setting reinvents itself. Winter brings cool nights that lend themselves to long dinners and conversations that stretch late into the evening; summer brings the golden light of inland Andalusia and the stillness of windless evenings. The markets of Villanueva, the nearby Sierra de Segura natural park, the olive oil routes to explore in the morning: the region reveals itself at your own pace, without any pressure.
What guests take away from Membrillejo? Less a collection of photographs than a lasting impression: the feeling of having had time, at last, to truly be together in a place that deserved it.

We spent a weekend in January, and the experience was fantastic. From the moment we booked, everything was made easy. When we arrived at the house, we found it incredibly clean. The linens were perfect. It's clear the owners have thought of everything to ensure large groups have a wonderful stay. They left firewood ready for us to light the fireplace, and we sat around it in endless conversations and laughter. We had all the necessary cookware and tableware to prepare meals, breakfasts, and dinners. The house is perfectly climate-controlled, and since it was a weekend when we even saw snow, the heating worked wonderfully, and we were warm throughout our stay. I also had a problem with a suitcase I forgot, and Tomás resolved it immediately. His diligence and kindness were admirable. The surroundings are spectacular, and the tranquility is absolute. My sincerest congratulations to Tomás for putting so much thought into creating a house like this. Our experience was so great that we're already planning to book again. Thank you for everything and see you soon!
We had a fantastic weekend with friends at this country house! The facilities are superb, with all the necessary amenities. Vicky was incredibly kind; she was a delight every time I spoke to her on the phone. And finally, Tomás, the owner, was attentive to our every need—a truly exceptional host! 100% recommended; one of the best country houses we've ever stayed in.
A group of 25 cousins had a fantastic experience at Tomás's house in January 2026. The house was spotless, with plenty of bedrooms, the heating worked perfectly, it had everything we needed for cooking, and fabulous outdoor areas with a beautiful mountain and olive grove landscape. Tomás was incredibly kind and helpful, and because of all this, we've already decided to stay at his house again. Thank you so much, Tomás!
Another year has passed, and the unforgettable experiences of every year have been repeated. The entire stay has been a 10 out of 10, everything perfect. If I had to mention something, I'd say that after we left, they should have done a little cleaning on the padel court and replaced the turf. But otherwise, it was a 10 out of 10.
