The bar/restaurant areas were very cosy, especially with the roaring log fire. read less

Its such an experience to live in a castle with a wonderful staff and good atmosphere. You have a great view of the surrounding hills and the nearby village.
Its not really easy to access so keep in mind that not everything is going smooth without stairs.
The castle has a great traffic connection aswell.
Totally coming back, enjoyed the stay and can only recommend! read less

I wanted to make it a memorable occasion so booked to stay at the castle as I had stayed there previously. It was excellent. Being a Sunday in January it was quiet which resulted in dinner being a private affair with the staff attentive but not over bearing....The food and drink was great.. followed by a leisurely drink in the lounge. The bedroom was superb with long distance views down the valley and a bath I could almost swim in ! Overall a memorable stay for all the right reasons... Thanks to all the staff .... More read less

The hotel is perched on top of a steep hill, and walking back from the village is not for the unfit.!! Driving through the narrow streets of the village is also an experience!!! The hotel itself is very nice, with a Moorish theme, with bright and interesting decor. Our room was lovely, very clean and bright. large bathroom with jacuzzi bath. Pool only has 18 sunbeds and is a suntrap. Salt water pool which is refreshing. Nice little garden area with plenty of areas to sit offering great views of the surrounding countryside. Restaurant is nice, especially the outside area, when the roof is off. Continental breakfast is good, and we had 2 excellent meals in the evening. No entertainment when we stayed due to covid restrictions. The staff are excellent, very polite and helpful. We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay, and would recommend this hotel to people wanting a quiet relaxing break. Just a couple of points to bear in mind,Because of the hotel layout, i think this hotel isn't suitable for anyone in a wheel chair, due to the multiple levels, especially in the pool area. Not really a hotel for children, unless you have a car to drive to Marbella etc, as not a lot to do locally, apart from the pool. With ref to the pool, and this isn't the hotels fault, i would like to point... We stayed at the Castillo early August.

With ref to the pool, and this isn't the hotels fault, i would like to point out that we were not happy with our Teutonic cousins, leaving towels on sunbeds, and then leaving to go for breakfast, resulting in several people not being able to get a sunbed,( there are only 18), and having to leave disappointed. The aforementioned " cousins" then returned over 1 hour later. Very selfish attitude. More read less
