  : Beautiful setting in the valley, with lovely views. A traditional hacienda/farm house converted into accommodation, with some lovely shades trees. It has a fantastic pool - great size and very little chlorine, where swallows swoop over and around you. A lovely courtyard under the shade of a huge tree, lit up very beautifully at night, where people can have their dinner (make sure you speak to reception and can book a spot). The hotel can host many people, but despite this it has a calm, quiet and peaceful feel.The mattresses were comfy, we had everything we needed, the AC worked fine, and we had a lovely terrace that gave us views of the orchard and mountains.We enjoyed the breakfast, there was a good selection of typical Spanish options.
  : The room could do with a bit of updating but is in keeping with the traditional feel, we would have found a double bed more comfortable than 2 singles.

  : Breakfast choices were a little limited, but everything was of very good quality. Dinner was very nice and the service was always very good. The hotel is located in a very quiet place in the middle of nature in a valley between the mountains, the perfect place to relax and be away from noise and busy life. It's nearby lots of beautiful hiking and cycling tracks, so also a good place for more active travelers. The room was in authentic style, very clean and well maintained.

  : We absolutely loved this quiet and away from it all location. We booked 3 nights and extended to 5 to continue exploring the area. Its a great base to access the surrounding white villages, Ronda, Zahara de Sierra etc. Hiking this are is great too. The hotel hike is an ideal and clearly marked hilly loop. We did it 6 times during our stay and loved it! The staff are exceptionally kind, caring and helpful.
  : There is nothing that we didnt like. Digging deep here: The towels are thin and could be replaced.Vegetables could be added to the menu.

  : Lovely location; great swimming pool; good air conditioning; comfortable beds; charming breakfast courtyard outside; cosy living room; exotic back dinner garden; lovely walks up into the mountains with our dog, who was made to feel very welcome.
  : There could perhaps have been a little more "simple" food on the dinner menu. Very basic American-style club sandwiches and chicken nuggets are always a good base for any hotel if you're not feeling like anything exotic. Also, porridge (cooked in the way of the Scots) is always a good thing to serve at breakfast - even in hot climates.

  : Rustic and basic but this is all part of its charm. food very simple but tasty and good value. Loved dining under the big tree.

  : Perfect rural place, very remotely located at the bottom of a valley, very secluded, which comes with total tranquility and silence (and a veeery steep road to drive down or up to get in and out of the location) and amazing views. There is a very pretty swimming pool and excellent food, served outdoors under a huge, beautifully lit tree. Really very pleasantly surprised with this place, literally a hidden gem
