    Was what it was, a rural hotel. Room was comfortable but only tepid water for a shower. Evening meal was good. Breakfast did not have fresh fruit or fruit juice. Poor choice of cereals. It's saving grace was its peaceful location and a great pool area.

    Please advise clients beforehand that part of the road has a sign that says it is closed, but you can still go through. We had to spend 40 minutes in a detour

    Beautiful surroundings, great decorations, friendly staff, comfortable bed with soft sheets

    Occasionally there were ants in our bathroom but weren't that much bothered as it is in the middle of nature. Sometimes smell from the shower drainage (assuming it was caused by frequent rain showers at that week).

    Cute rural cottage style building with lemon trees around. Unique style of the rooms with lovely reception area. The bed was comfortable with a very nice smell of fresh sheets and bed linen. Food was great but with very limited options for breakfast (if you stay 1 or 2 nights it's ok, but for us eating bread with ham/salami and cheese with cake for 9 days got boring - no eggs or vegetables). The staff was always welcoming and smiling.

    Just remember you are out in the country, so no shops nearby. Come prepared.

    Location out in the country with good old-fashioned service. Lovely sitting area/ reception with fireplace to sit and have a few drinks and chat as well as an outside alfresco area. Great value dinner. Breakfast included.

    I was disappointed a bit with the cleanliness; the place, although spacious, did not meet my expectations in terms of cleanliness.

    Staff are really kind and the place is nice in the middle of nature.

    There is nothing that we didn’t like. Digging deep here: The towels are thin and could be replaced. Vegetables could be added to the menu.

    We absolutely loved this quiet and away from it all location. We booked 3 nights and extended to 5 to continue exploring the area. It’s 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.

    Nothing

    What a lovely location down a long farm track. The property was a converted farm with an abundance of original features. The dining room was located under an enormous tree in the courtyard and was absolutely delightful. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and were once stables. Good location for visiting nearby places of interest eg. Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra, Setenil and Ronda.

    For a family with small children the open stairs to the upper floor were rather dangerous. We also would have liked a doormat upon which to wipe our muddy shoes.

    Lovely setting with room to explore and relax. Restaurant and food was good and staff very helpful.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
