“A wonderful welcome after a 28 hour flight. Rustic rooms and communal areas within a stunning location and an easy walk to the pristine village of Istan. Great showers with steaming hot water and a hostess that could not have been more helpful. I will be back next year!”
“Location was picturesque and peaceful. Very helpful hosts. Large private parking. ”
“The room was nice with a lovely view down to the lake. The lady at reception was friendly and served a good breakfast with fresh grapes and figs on the verandah with views of the valley. The small swimming pool was a bonus!”
“The hotel was in such a beautiful location, surreal eating breakfast and looking out on a stunning mountain view. Lovely rooms and bathrooms and the pool was great as we had it all to ourselves! Just a lovely little hidden gem, would definitely revisit again.”
“Superb location with fantastic views from bedroom and breakfast terrace. Just a short walk from the friendly, attractive village with its many bars, restaurants and small shops. Good area for local walks in the countryside and hills. Helpful welcome from the owner, who did her best to be friendly throughout our stay but really gave the impression of being rather tired. Great small swimming pool outside. Good supply of hot water for the shower.”
“I liked the location, the view from our window was stunning. The room decorations were special and we felt like going back in time 100 years. The atmosphere there is very quiet and peaceful. The pool was clean and not very crowded.”
“Peaceful with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. Very traditional and within easy walking distance of the charming town of Istán ”
“The pool was great, amazing views! Staff very friendly and helpful. Decor was lovely, the room was really nice and kept very clean. Really nice shower and bathroom. The location is perfect, we could walk to the town. Excellent value for money.”
“great views and thelady in charge was very helpful. we used the varanda in the evenings for a drink before bed and we were asked just to turn the lights out before leaving which meant we had the use of the place to ourselves. the rooms are very pleasant with amazing views. aircon in the rooms was a bonus. the hotel is very quirky and rustic but that added to it's charm. the loation was great being out of the rush of Marbella and a couple of minutes drive to the local village of Istan which is lovely hilltop Spanish village with narrow streets and great restaurants.”
“The Hotel is very rural and this we like, the querky shabby sheek that they have done is right up our alley, as we are into shabby sheek restoration. The setting of this hotel is amazing with beautiful views over the lakes and Marbella although 12km away.It was good to find a less expensive hotel when visiting family in Marbella, we found with others a good base for touring from for a day trip. We went to Gibralter and Ronda others to Malaga and Nerja. The continental breakfast was excellent the dining area on the terrace for views cannot be bettered and the staff we found lovely people.We would stay there again and tour more.”
