We could have used a blanket for the bed. We were only covered in one thin sheet. We looked for a blanket but there was none in the room. Running the ac all night was the only option in the 30 degree night time heat as the window, when opened had no mosquito screens. So we could not open the window without insects coming in, and therefore had to run the ac all night and were quite cold. At 03.00 in the morning we threw large dry towels on top of us to try to stay warm. We only stayed one night. If we had stayed longer we would have asked at reception for a blanket. It did not upset our stay much and we would stay again.

Our stay was wonderful. Everything was magical. The view from the bedroom is staggeringly romantic and expansive. The room was huge and with a high ceiling. The ac worked well when we were there in the heat of July. The evening meal at the restaurant a 2 min walk up through the little castle village was a lovely experience. Food was delicious and good sized portions with very pleasant service. Make sure you don't miss seeing the amazing view from the very top of the hotel, only available to you if you are guests! Breakfast has plenty of options and the staff are very nice.

Amazing views in a amazingly decorated hotel, respecting history with now days comfort. The location on the top of the hill take us through a tricky road where we could even find deers.

Big comfortable rooms with amazing rooms of the area. Wonderful to wander the narrow streets, and just sit to watch the vultures, surrounding countryside and sunset. The castle interior area is small so you have seen it all after less than half an hour, but it is also worth walking around the castle, walking down to the old Roman road. We have stayed here 3 times, arriving in the afternoon to enjoy a one-night stay to unwind.

Fantastic hotel with unique charm and soul, located within a castle. Getting there at night was quite an adventure due to the winding road, but during the day it’s a completely different experience – much easier and absolutely worth it thanks to the stunning views along the way. You can’t drive right up to the hotel entrance – parking is available along the road. When you reach the castle, you’ll first see the main square, but the entrance isn’t there. Keep to the right, and the second entrance is the correct one. We arrived around midnight and were a bit confused, but a friendly local named “Frog” kindly helped us find the right way. The peace and calmness of the village fill you with a special kind of energy. The views from the hotel are incredible – Gibraltar, Mount Jebel Musa in Morocco, Embalse del Guadarranque lake, the fairytale-like village, and the surrounding forest. Our room was very spacious and equipped with everything we needed – comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully arranged to match the charm of the place. My partner and I took some time to explore and hiked down to the lake. The trail isn’t marked, but it’s pleasant and relatively easy to follow. Just be careful in some areas where fallen leaves can make it slippery. Proper footwear is a must (trainers are fine) – definitely no flip-flops or light summer shoes. We brought water and some snacks and enjoyed peaceful moments by the small dock, watching birds, horses, deer, and nature itself. If you enjoy hiking, I highly recommend it. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of cold cuts, spreads, fruit, and more. If you’re looking for a relaxed escape from the hustle and bustle, I highly recommend this hotel. The staff is friendly and happy to help with anything.

Second time staying here...my two nieces visiting Spain joined us. Was perfect in every way! All of our rooms were spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated...with amazing views! Enjoyed dinner at the town Restaurant and a picturesque walk. All staff that we encountered were courteous and helpful as well. *Don't miss a visit to the rooftop of the castle for incredible pics of surrounding landscapes stretching out to Gibraltar on the coast! Thank you again ---Nancy Rosario

Our trip through Andalusia was incredible, and staying at the castle was without a doubt the highlight. The entire property was spotless, and the breakfast was delicious, served with stunning views that made morning special. The soundproofing is excellent you truly feel like you’re in your own peaceful world once you’re in your room. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. We also enjoyed a lovely walk around the castle grounds in the morning, which added to the magical experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing stay!

Everything wonderful!

We loved everything about our stay: dinner was delicious and they accommodated my food allergies well; our room was beautiful and very comfortable; the staff were kind and helpful; and the castle was breathtaking! Bonus was the beautiful area surrounding the castle and a short scenic walk on an historic path to the lake.

The walk from the car to the Hotel. :)

We enjoyed our stay very much, the views are normally terrific but this time the weather was bad. Of course not the fault of the hotel.

Beautiful place but the staff does not speak English at all. And no signs to where reception is located. And parking is on street.

The hotel is actually a renovated 11 century castle, with preserved castle rooms - castle windows, balconies, high ceilings. You sleep in a real castle, it's so romantic and really rare. The price for a night is 1/10 of a price for a night in a Scottish castle. The room was very clean and the views of the lake and the valley from the windows were incredible. We had dinner in the restaurant 1 min walk from the castle, the price is not cheap but the food is good. We were with a teen girl, ordered a Superior room and asked to add a bed.

There was very little signage for drivers or for the location of check in. Parking is not very easy or clear where to park.

Breakfast wasn’t very good at all. Very basic pre-packed baking, no fruit. But it made up for it in the architecture and location.

Stunning location on the top of the hill. Beautiful views from the window, nesting swifts all around.

The only slight niggle, barely worth a mention, was that the separate hotel restaurant in the village did not have a coffee machine and we had to return to the hotel bar for an after dinner coffee… it really was not a problem but was perhaps a bit odd! I am struggling to find fault really!

The situation on this hotel, part of a medival castle in a small hilltop village, is simply stunning. The views from the top are just incredible. Within the curtain walls of the castle is a small village in which some of the houses have been converted into self catering units which I believe are run by the hotel too. There is also an associated restaurant where we ate in the evening which was very good. Our room was very comfortable, we chose the one with the terrace at the top of the watchtower and while the room itself did not really have a fabulous view, it was more than made up for by the stunning roof top terrace. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom spacious.

Even though there was an elevator, it only went from the lobby to the 1 floor rooms. We originally had an incredible deluxe tower room with access to the top, but because of my mobility issues I could not manage the multiple stairs . Even to get from parking to the lobby was a very steep walk. This is only a problem for some with mobility issues.

Delicious breakfast, nice variety, well worth the money. Authentically restored castle. Staff were very accommodating when we had to change our room. Overall delightful experience.

We seemed like the only guests at the castle, so it felt a bit deserted.

It´s a special place to stay. Winding road to the castle and amazing 360 views to accompany in the morning. Cute little castle streets and very peaceful.
