Ematejo, Genalguacil Overview
Ematejo is located in Genalguacil, Spain. Rated 8.9 out of 10 based on 12 guest reviews.
Ematejo is a quiet rural stay in Genalguacil, Spain, set at Finca Ematejo Paraje las Cruces, where the pace slows and the countryside does the entertaining. With a guest rating of 8.9/10 from 12 reviews, recent visitors highlight the calm atmosphere and the care from the team, especially around day-to-day comfort and safety. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so it suits travelers who can arrive earlier in the afternoon rather than late at night.
The outdoor pool is a standout for downtime, and it’s designed with a shallow end plus a fence around the pool, which many families appreciate when traveling with children. Non-smoking rooms and non-smoking throughout keep the environment fresh, and you’ll also find hand sanitizer in guest rooms and key areas, reflecting the property’s focus on local safety protocols. A terrace offers another place to unwind between outings.
Because Ematejo sits in the Genalguacil area, it’s a strong base for nature days: Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is about 20 km away for hikes and viewpoints, while La Duquesa Golf is roughly 15 km from the finca for a round of golf. If you’re mixing countryside with culture, Plaza de España in Estepona is around 50 km away, giving you a clear option for a day trip.
Ematejo is best for families and couples who want a peaceful, non-smoking rural stay with a pool and terrace, and who are comfortable driving to reach the wider dining and sightseeing options.

Should You Book Ematejo?
Worth booking if you want a quiet rural base with attentive hosts and a high guest score; the 8.9/10 rating from recent visitors points to strong satisfaction with the calm atmosphere and team care. Choose it for the countryside pace rather than for urban convenience.
Best For
- Couples seeking a peaceful rural retreat in Genalguacil, where the atmosphere is repeatedly described as calm
- Small families who value non-smoking, family room options, and a pool setting suitable for relaxed downtime
- Travelers planning day trips to Ronda, Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, and Casares from a quieter countryside location
- Guests who prefer a low-key stay with safety-conscious operations and a non-smoking environment throughout
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need walkable dining and nightlife right outside the property, since the stay is rural and nearby restaurants are listed as specific options rather than a dense area
- Those who require very early check-in, as check-in starts at 02:00 PM
- Light planners who want the closest airport to be very near, since Gibraltar International Airport is 45 km and Málaga Airport is 100 km
What to Expect
You arrive to a quiet rural setting in Genalguacil, where the finca atmosphere sets expectations for slower days. The stay feels calm and well cared for, and multiple guests specifically mention the team’s attention to making things comfortable. Days can revolve around relaxing by the pool and enjoying the terrace, with the countryside doing most of the entertaining. In the morning, you can settle into the non-smoking, safety-conscious environment before heading out toward nearby sights like Ronda or the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.
Location Intelligence
Ematejo is positioned for easy access to major nearby highlights, including Casares (15 km), Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (20 km), and Ronda (25 km). For airport planning, Gibraltar International Airport is 45 km away and Málaga Airport is 100 km, so transfers will likely require advance timing. Dining options nearby include Restaurante La Plaza, La Cueva, Restaurante El Mirador, and Café Bar El Faro, but the overall feel is countryside rather than walkable city life.
