Project Overview
Hearts & Home, also known locally as Casa Corazón, is a boutique B&B in Mijas Pueblo on the Costa del Sol. The owner wanted a website that brings their story to life while making it effortless to book direct through Cloudbeds.
We centred the brand narrative around calm stays, nourishing breakfasts, and the whitewashed charm of Mijas. Local wellness touches and slow travel ideas thread through the copy and photography.
If you are planning a similar project and looking for a B&B website design service, Olive & Lake can help you design a fast, elegant site that converts.
Design Approach
The design is calm and image led, with soft tones and generous spacing that mirror the property’s atmosphere. “Book Now” paths are clear from the header, room cards, and every key section so guests never lose their way.
A rooms and suites section showcases all room types at a glance. Each detail page highlights views, amenities, and the breakfast experience, with concise copy and large galleries. We built it mobile first and used lightweight media so pages load quickly on roaming data.
Challenges & Solutions
Room names and views varied, which made comparison hard, so we created standardised room templates and clearly show the view, bed setup, and capacity using custom fields. This keeps the layout consistent and helps guests compare options in seconds.
Trust is needed to help close the booking decision. We surfaced reviews and awards beside CTAs, and added a short reassurance line near the booking buttons. Cloudbeds handles availability and payment, while we use UTM tagged links to attribute revenue back to the site.
Key Features
- Cloudbeds booking link and widget with UTM tracking for accurate revenue attribution
- Rooms custom post type with fields for view, size, amenities, and gallery
- Casa Corazón story woven through copy, headings, and photography to reinforce Hearts & Home
- Local area and experiences content for Mijas and the wider Costa del Sol to encourage longer stays
- SEO foundations: Hotel schema, FAQs and policies pages, and internal links between rooms and area guides
- Review highlights and awards placed near primary CTAs for instant social proof
Results
Guests now reach the booking screen faster and can compare rooms by view, size, and features without confusion. Reviews and badges near CTAs increase confidence at the moment of decision.
Cloudbeds conversions are cleanly attributed through UTM tagging. The mobile experience is lighter and more crawlable, improving speed, search visibility, and direct booking performance.
Reflections and Takeaway
For boutique B&Bs, simple room templates and a crisp Cloudbeds handoff outperform heavy embeds and cluttered layouts.
Balance the story of place, breakfast, and wellness with speed and clear CTAs to lift direct bookings.
