El Cobertizo, La Zubia Overview
El Cobertizo is located in La Zubia, Spain. Rated 5.5 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
El Cobertizo is a countryside stay in La Zubia, Spain, set along Ctra. Cumbres Verdes, a road that puts you between Granada’s historic highlights and the quieter mountain landscape. The property suits travelers who want space and a relaxed pace rather than a city-hotel routine, and the outdoor pool and fenced pool area are a practical draw for warm-weather downtime. If you’re planning simple evenings in, the BBQ facilities help you keep meals flexible without needing to drive back and forth for every plan. Accessibility is taken seriously here, with wheelchair accessibility and facilities for disabled guests, which can make a meaningful difference for guests who need step-free movement.
The location also works well for day trips: Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens are about 8 km away, while Granada’s central sights like the Cathedral and viewpoint areas are roughly 10 km from the hotel. For nature lovers, the Sierra Nevada National Park is around 35 km out, giving you a straightforward route to hikes and mountain scenery.
Guest feedback is mixed, with an overall rating of 5.5/10 based on two reviews, so it’s worth tempering expectations and checking what matters most to you before booking. Some guests have mentioned the value of the setting and the pool time, while others may find the experience less consistent than higher-rated properties. Pets are allowed, which can be a deciding factor for travelers who don’t want to leave companions behind. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and check-out is at 12:00 PM, so plan your arrival around those windows.

Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
Should You Book El Cobertizo?
Only book if you specifically want a countryside base near Granada and can tolerate uncertainty from very limited feedback. With a 5.5/10 rating based on just 2 reviews, the upside is space and a relaxed pace, but the evidence is too thin to call it a safe bet.
Best For
- Travelers who want a quieter countryside stay outside Granada rather than a city-hotel routine
- Groups or families needing more space and outdoor downtime, with a swimming pool and BBQ facilities
- Pet owners who prefer to travel with their pets, since pets are allowed
- Accessibility-focused travelers who need wheelchair access and facilities for disabled guests
Not Ideal For
- Skeptical bookers who rely on strong review signals, since the rating is low and based on only 2 reviews
- Travelers who need easy walkability to major sights, because key attractions like the Alhambra and Generalife are 8–8.5 km away
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to road noise, since the property is located along Ctra. Cumbres Verdes
What to Expect
You arrive off Ctra. Cumbres Verdes and immediately feel the shift from Granada’s bustle to a calmer, mountain-leaning countryside setting. The stay is geared toward relaxing time outdoors, with a pool area that’s fenced and BBQ facilities for easy, casual evenings. Morning routines likely start at a slower pace, then you head toward Granada’s historic highlights such as the Alhambra and Generalife, which are within roughly 8–8.5 km. Based on the limited reviews, expectations should be managed: the property may deliver the relaxed, space-focused feel, but the overall guest satisfaction signal is weak so far.
Location Intelligence
El Cobertizo sits in La Zubia on Ctra. Cumbres Verdes, positioning you between Granada’s historic sights and a quieter landscape. The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens are about 8–8.5 km away, while San Juan de Dios Museum and Paseo de los Tristes are around 6–7 km, so plan on transport rather than relying on walking.
