The Hotel Restaurant was recommended to us by friends (Bar Teatro - Torrequebrada) as having fantastic food, with this we decided to spend the night and relax. We were met in reception by a very welcoming lady who checked us in with minimal effort and escorted us to our room. Rooms are traditional Spanish (for me) no real Luxury so to speak but very clean and tidy non the less. We are in the Hills of Spain and not London City. I see people comment on no TV, this for us was a welcome omittance as we may have used it!! We headed to the bar and was attended to by Mathew, full credit to Mathew he was exceptional, he was honest about the wine selections he was also extremely attentive during our meal. The meal...... Well it was "Top Draw"! My wife has had the pleasure of many Michelin star restaurants and was very very impressed by the food and its presentation. We had a lovely evening. Suggestions to the management (and these are purely that). Better/extra pillows in the rooms. Hot Water, (we rushed out so didn't take the time to ask for the cold shower to be addressed - this let the room down for me sadly as I am very much in need of a warm powerful shower in the mornings.

One issue, the flags on top of the tower look great but boy are noisy in the wind over night, many guests would have been very unhappy, I sleep sound and wife had earplugs so there was no need for us to make a fuss (plus not an easy fix at 3am!!)
Would we recommend to others? .... Yes
Would we come again?..... Already planning to!
The ambiance of the bar/restaurant and the views, great friendly staff, excellent food all make for a good evening.
Hotel would benefit from some minor tweaks to make a complete package overnight.

We were greeted cordially and although early the staff member looked after us well and got us to our room in no time - and what a room! Spacious, spotless, arabesque influence and with a terrace to die for! We woke facing the sunrise - the views were stunning.
Elliot, Victor & Diego were fantastic assets to the team running this show - smiling, friendly, helpful - thank you to each of them.
Food was served in one of several interesting seating areas - a limited menu but always beautifully presented and good quality.
Pool is indeed small, but we were lucky with beds.
There is a gentle quiet ambience about this serene retreat which the staff uphold.
Only tiny gripe, is I wish some of the guests would too! - Not the hotel's fault - but there are pools to divebomb in and holler to one another and there are pools not to - this is a not-to one! For grown-up, adults only please 🙂 More read less

Always pleased to see you, very genuine people. Wonderful hotel, spectacular views wonderful atmosphere. Chose to eat at the hotel , the food was exceptional , and the service was great. A little fun getting up there as my sat Nav got a bit confused , took the very windy and steep drive. A bit of fun, wife didn’t like it much, that’s the road not the Hotel. Would definitely recommend the hotel especially for a special occasion.
Really made to feel welcome and special. read less

Beautiful castle Beautiful, well maintained, castle with stunning views. The food was good. The service was also good but could have been better, more proactive.
Also a good tip for a hotel. The castle has a swimming pool as well.
Lunch at the Castle First time back since lock down and as fantastic as ever
Had a gorgeous lunch on the terrace with a welcome light breeze. Tagliatelle prawn pil pil
And sea bream with fennel and vinaigrette salad
Our favourite place with fantastic views

We just spent a night there in Room 706. This is one of the "all the way"rooms which are not cheap but it s fabulous. Very spacious with beautiful tiles, good bathroom and the largest terrace I have ever come across in a hotel. My photos hopefully do it justice. The food is also excellent. We had dinner which for two vegetarians was delicious and breakfast was great too. The staff are some of the nicest people you could wish to meet. They also have a pool with some of the best views you could find. More read less

Yesterday was a lovely day so went out for a drive. Had a beer in the square at Monda and invited to join some expats who live there, which was really enjoyable. They gave us directions to the Castle and we are so pleased we found it. What views!! We had lunch out on the terrace. My husband had the mussels and I had the Hake with seafood and potatoes, both of which were delicious. So much so we have booked again to have lunch on Sunday. Just a shame we made such a mess of the napkins! More read less
