About us and about our hotel
A family business for more than 50 years
It all started in Capileira in the early 60s, when the first generation and head of the Family Pérez, José Pérez, decided to dedicate himself to the tourism business.
They were pioneers in the field, and it is thanks to them that we owe the famous “Plato Alpujarreño”, the most typical dish of the Alpujarra nowadays. At this time there were only a few bars in the village, and they began opening an inn that was baptised by his friend, Gallego Morell, with the name Mesón Poqueira, An establishment which won awards from information and Tourism.
The second generation of the family, his twin sons Francisco and José Antonio, and their respective wives Gloria and María del Carmen, have continued with the family tradition. They have improved and expanded the business, and what was a small and humble inn has developed into a 2 star rated country inn, 13 village houses, a 2 star rural hotel , a summer terrace and more recently, a 3 star rated country hotel.
Luxury and comfort at its best
Many Spanish celebrities have come and visited here, from the field of politics, culture, finance, science and sport, and some of them are even ministers such as José Utrera, Julio Rodríguez, Javier Robles Piquer or Javier Solana. Amongst others who have passed this way include, Felipe González, Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, the king and queen of Belgium, Balduino and Fabiola, Jaime de Mora y Aragón, Antonio Gala, Terenci Moix, Andrés Segovia, Nacho Cano, Mario Maya, Rafael Gómez Montero, Jesús Quintero and the famous and highly-regarded Japanese painter, Shu Ichimura, who for many years was living and painting in one of our houses.
Now, the third generation is also committed to continuing with the same tradition and the same values, as we adapt to new trends and the needs of our customers.
The secret of success in this case is our experience, our customer-friendly manner, and a pleasant atmosphere.
