Inhabiting a handsome 19th-century mansion with considerable charm and attention to detail, Las Nieves has simple but attractive rooms with tiled floors; some have a built-in fireplace, which is a nice touch. There's also a spa with Jacuzzi, a room with board games and an appealing outdoor patio. Everywhere in Garrovillas is within walking distance.
