Casa Baños de la Villa

Casa Baños de la Villa is a country house on Calle Real, in the heart of the Barrio de la Villa in Priego de Córdoba, with Arab baths inside the house itself. The baths are booked by session on its website, whether you stay or not.

Who runs it

The owner of the establishment is the company E.V.A. Incoming Services, S.L., according to its booking conditions. The website does not say since when the house has operated or give the history of the building; it does say that some rooms keep details of traditional inspiration. It is in the heart of Priego's medieval quarter, with its narrow whitewashed streets, next to the Adarve balcony, so it is best reached on foot: the website does not explain whether there is parking of its own.

The house

It has nine rooms, each with its own name. Four are twins with two beds and a shower; another four have a double bed, some with a bath and some with a shower, and the Suite Armonía has two bedrooms, a living room and a sofa bed, for two to five people. All have air conditioning and heating. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out before 12:00; if you arrive outside reception hours, let them know beforehand.

The baths

The circuit lasts 90 minutes: three pools of cold, warm and hot water, a Turkish bath and a rest area with tea. Relaxing massages of 15 or 30 minutes can be added, and they come within those 90 minutes. The minimum age is 18. The website does not publish prices or session times: they appear when you choose the session in its booking system. Nor does it say whether towels are provided or you need to bring a swimsuit, so it is worth asking. They sell gift vouchers for baths, with or without a massage, and a getaway with one night, breakfast, a welcome gift and a baths session.

Bookings and cancellations

Everything is booked on the website; for experiences combined across Priego, Zuheros and Iznájar, with accommodation and other visits, they ask you to write on WhatsApp. A baths session can be cancelled or changed up to 48 hours beforehand; with less notice, or if you do not turn up, what you paid is lost. For accommodation, 25% is charged if you cancel two days before arrival, 50% one day before, and the full amount on the day or if you do not show up, unless the rate says otherwise. If you book through Booking or another agency, that channel's conditions apply. The website does not say which languages they speak.
