I would like help in this sentence in order to avoid the repetition of "mountain". My suggestion:
Located at the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, La Almunia del Valle is a boutique hotel in the mountains, inspired by the original design of a mountain cortijo (farmhouse) and surrounded by mountains
MTIA!

Selected
a hacienda style boutique hotel nestled in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada Nature Park.
Two options:
The La Almunia del Valle is a hacienda style boutique hotel nestled in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada Nature Park.
or
Located in the Sierra Nevada Nature Park, La Almunia del Valle is a hacienda style boutique hotel nestled in the mountains.
If it is nestled in the mountains it is clear to the reader that it is located in the mountains and surrounded by mountains. I checked on the internet and the style of the hotel actually is like a hacienda.
Hope this helps!

É precisamente na Serra Nevada que se encontra o hotel La Almunia del Valle. Portanto, nada melhor do que o nome original.
La Almunia del Valle is a small hotel, created within a singular architectural conglomeration, qualitatively high, inside a rural area, cataloged as mountainous area with environmental interests, to 8 km. of center Granada, inside the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, whit magnificent views of the Sierra. Its rooms are decorated in a crude and soft colours projecting a warm atmosphere of modern design. The bathrooms combine rock and ceramics with washbasins of steel and earthenware on top of a glass plate. The public part of the hotel, made up of a comfortable salon whit library, big fireplace, a restaurant and small bar, is decorated with daring Pompeian red walls and white tapestry and furniture. And last but not least, the whole is completed with an exposition of original works of art. La ALmunia is a place where the guest can enjoy of the comfort and the smalls details whit a personal and qualified service.

Claro que o termo montanha que vem a seguir (boutique hotel de montanha) não pode ser traduzido como "sierra nevada". Neste caso será ***mountain hotel***.

Finalmente, acho que estou a perceber o seu problema. É que a frase em português refere duas vezes o termo montanha e uma o termo serrano. Pode portanto contornar o problema adaptando o texto, por exemplo:
the La Almunia del Valle is a boutique hotel inspired by the original design of a mountainous farm house and surrounded by mountains

Claro que n�o vai traduzir mountain como "sierra nevada".
CORTIJO = Grange (Quinta ou Herdade).
