These nesting houses in Cazorla look like they came from an enchanted tree (and they're available for booking).

Cazorla, in the province of Jaén, is known for its impressive mountain landscapes, varied biodiversity, and its extensive natural park, one of the largest in Europe: the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas . This privileged setting attracts not only hikers and nature lovers, but also those seeking original accommodations . Among the most unique options are the nest houses, small structures that appear suspended between branches and offer an experience fully integrated into the landscape. The project is part of the Hotel Rural Convento Santa María de la Sierra, an accommodation located in the district of Arroyo Frío, within the municipality of La Iruela (Jaén).
Nest houses are an innovative architectural proposal that mimics the shape and design of birds' nests . They are built with natural materials such as wood and stone, mostly sourced locally, which not only gives them a camouflaged appearance in their surroundings but also ensures a low environmental impact. They are raised on stilts between trees and rocks, keeping the forest floor intact and preserving the local vegetation. This construction method constitutes a sustainable model, utilizing renewable energy solutions.
Despite their compact size , the nest houses are designed to offer comfort and functionality. Inside, the spaces are optimized to the maximum and feature a double bed, private bathroom, air conditioning system, and large windows that allow you to enjoy the surroundings without leaving the accommodation. The private terraces are undoubtedly one of the greatest attractions: from them you can silently contemplate the forest, observe birds, deer, and squirrels, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the place. In fact, these terraces offer privileged views of the estate where the complex is located, which boasts more than 28 hectares of forest and is surrounded by trails, viewpoints, and areas of great ecological value.
The nest houses have become an ideal starting point for hiking trails, horseback riding, wildlife watching (highly recommended during the rut), and cultural excursions in the area. Visitors also have access to numerous organized activities designed to make the most of the natural surroundings. These include kayaking or canoeing excursions on nearby rivers, mountain biking trails, and exciting zip-line tours.
This part of Cazorla isn't just an adventure destination; it's also an ideal place to unwind. The nesting houses, isolated from each other and surrounded by native vegetation, offer a peaceful atmosphere difficult to find elsewhere. At night, the silence is only interrupted by the songs of nocturnal birds and the sound of the wind through the trees. During the day, light filters through the trees, creating a cozy and relaxing environment.
Staying in a nest house is an experience that combines relaxation, sustainability, and adventure in one place, allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of simplicity. In Cazorla, nest houses have become an increasingly popular option among those looking for more than just accommodation: a unique experience .
