Unbelievable place: a 13th-century castle, located on the highest hill in the area with beautiful views - you can even see the Gibraltar rock. And a brilliant roof terrace. Spending the night in such a place is an interesting experience, but it is worth noting that the bed was also truly royal in size and very comfortable. We were in the castle room, but you can also rent one of the "casas rurales", located within the castle walls. If you like silence and nature, as well as the local vibe (is worth visiting the nearby village), it is an ideal place to spend 1-2 nights traveling through Andalusia.

Note the information provided by reception staff ! : it is not true, that the restaurant in the castle is the only option to eat dinner. 10 minutes walk down the asphalt road and you will find a local family restaurant. The atmosphere is familiar and spontaneous there - you can meet local residents and dance with them on the street - extraordinary experience :)

The location and view is absolutely amazing. We got the tower room with a private terrace. Supply of towels and overall cleanliness. Selection of comfy pillows. We had halfboard: Breakfast was simple, but plenty and tasty. Dinner in the restaurant was more than excellent.

Details need attention: no working soap dispensers inside the breakfast room toilets, ventilation in our bathroom was broken, squeaky bed frame, tower terrace door cannot be closed from the outside, which causes heavy drag in the room while outside with the bottom window open. Exterior light on the terrace was defective. Room should have been vented for our arrivel.

We were kindly offered a choice of two different rooms, and the one we chose had eight windows and a pair of french doors opening out onto a small balcony. The view from there was positively breathtaking - never before have we been able to see eagles from above! The restaurant (in a separate building) was also excellent, both in terms of food and value. The breakfast was also extremely good.

The road up the mountain is a bit challenging, but well worth the effort.

The whole unspoiled historic venue surrounded by nature. Great view from balcony. Spacious luxury clean room. We only order drinks which were good priced.

That we could not visit the castle, the old towers and walls, they are currently under restoration. Just 1 vegan option and no plantbased milk for coffee. So a full menu so can't eat as a vegan. Vegetarians can take a soup and a salad. More plantbased options please.

The whole experience was wonderful - it is a real castle and we loved it. The castle is on top of a hill with the most wonderful views in all directions across the mountains, and to the coast and The Rock of Gibraltar. Our rooms were the standard rooms - fairly basic but clean, spacious and comfy with an unbelievable view and Lesser Kestrels hovering outside. Griffon vultures and eagles flew over the rooftop terrace,. We had booked half board and loved the little restaurant nearby and the local dishes. The staff in the restaurant were very helpful and it was excellent value. Breakfast was self service in a little room in the castle and there was plenty of choice. You park at the bottom of the ramp and have to carry your bags up a steep, cobbled walkway into the hotel, so travel light!

Leaving.

The hotel is in a fabulous location set on a hilltop with fantastic views from the veranda. We spent many occasions over the two days watching the Griffon Vultures glide past. We had a beautiful room full of local character, as was the rest of the hotel. It was so quiet at night. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. We opted for the evening meal package and ate at the hotel restaurant 50 mtrs away. The food was also very satisfactory for us. the whole experience was just so good. There is parking on the road, and this proved to be suitable.

For us, we found the whole experience was greater than our expectations so there was nothing we did not like. Staying in a hilltop Moorish castle which was presented so well was so good.

The fact that it’s an old castle in the mountains of Spain. The views are really wonderful in all directions. It will make you think about the people that built this place. You can see all the way to Gibraltar from this hotel.

The hotel is up hill on a cobblestone path. You need to be prepared for that. After carrying all our luggage up those hills we decided to just take overnight bags in for rest of trip.

The view is spectacular! We had a room in the tower with a small balcony and an exceptional view! Room is basic but large. Dinner is at a restaurant a few (litlle) streets further. We booked a table in advance and would recommend that. Breakfast was very good. Enough options to gain energy for the walk down.

Maybe place 2 little chairs in the room that you place at the opening doors to the balcony Now there is only one very large heavy chair en one separate chair

room 101 was fantastic. full of natural light from many windows and had a little terrace area with amazing views. comfy beds and clean, large bathroom. also a wonderful rooftop terrace for everyone to use.

i found the vast majority of people on my Spain trip to be warm, welcoming, helpful and very nice. (I stayed in 5 different places) The front desk staff at this place did not live up to my other experiences. Efficient, but not overly welcoming or friendly.

A unique experience being able to stay in the castle. Fabulous views, excellent room with enormous, comfortable bed which was very much appreciated. The restaurant staff and food were excellent. Surprisingly good value for money and delicious, hearty food.

A bit of a cool reception on arrival which was disappointing, but all other staff were open and enthusiastic.
