5 star ratingLunch in the mountains above Marbella We went for a drive through the mountains above Marbella, and found this beautiful hotel in the pretty town of Monda. As its name suggests, it's a hotel built within an old castle, so many of the original features remain. We had lunch in the Albacar restaurant at the top of the building , with panoramic views of the surrounding hills . The food was superb, the staff very welcoming and the setting is stunning. Well worth a visit if you are in the area, only a fifteen minute drive from Marbella.

5 star ratingWonderful countryside retreat An absolutely fantastic stay was had here. On a vacation to visit family, the beach at Marbella was not a priority and so how delighted I was to find this paradise just 15-20 or so minutes inland from the coast. Two young gentlemen, Paul & Paco were exceptionally accommodating going out of their way to assist whenever they could and always greeting myself and other guests with a cheerful, welcoming smile. They represented the bigger picture of my hotel experience and that was mirrored by every other staff member at every step during my stay. My heartfelt thanks go out the hotel for making my Spanish visit truly remarkable and they can be sure of my return business next time. Thank you again to Paul & Paco, it’s great to see your enthusiasm for the hospitality industry and you both are fantastic representatives of your hotel. Top marks, simple as that.

5 star ratingCastle in Andulacia worth a visit This is a lovely converted castle looking out over the Village of Monda near Marbella. Fantastic views rustic lovely rooms good size swimming pool and a lovely restaurant with a great choice of quality food. We popped by for a late lunch on the terrace and even though it is the middle of august there was a cooling breeze. We had a tuna salad and a couple of drinks then wandered round the property. We will come again.

5 star ratingOutstanding hotel, superb staff and delicious food! We have passed this hotel many times and finally got to stay. It's a steep drive up, but dint let this put you off, there is plenty of shaded parking with a short walk into reception where we were very warmly greeted by a young man who briefed us with the basics, then we were shown to our room. We were celebrating 10 years since our engagement and booked a superior room with terrace and view, the room itself was lovely, the facilities were good, a small fridge, tea / coffee making, facilities great aircon (it was 36+ outside) and a huge terrace with fantastic views. We ate in the restaurant the first night which again has fantastic views, but equally as good is the food and service from the lovely staff. We chilled by the pool for most of our stay, unsurprisingly it did get quite busy, (couples busy, so not noisy) but there were sufficient loungers for all who wanted one and we were served with a great selection of drinks while we relaxed. We had lunch and dinner on the terrace, the food was consistently superb and the service was fantastic, from Costas, Matt and Jorge (sorry I couldn't remember more names, there were others all as pleasant) The only thing we didn't get to sample was the breakfast as we were too lazy to make the 10.30 cut off time after enjoying the late hot evenings / early hours. We couldn't fault this hotel whatsoever the staff culture was outstanding, warm, friendly and chatty, I struggle to unwind and this place did it for me / us, the only sad thing was we weren't staying longer! We will most definitely return snd soon!

5 star rating4 **** hotel with a 5***** service. Spent a whole week in this delightful hotel and could have staid longer if it was up to us 🙂 everything was perfect, delicious food, amazing cocktails, an impeccable services everything so nicely decorated and tidy. There is really nothing that could have made our stay even better. We highly recommend this place. Perfect for a romantic stay, maybe less if with small children. Breakfast buffet provides a wide choice of continental but also English breakfast and everything is served with a smile. The staff is great!!

5 star ratingAwesome views, service and pizza! Awesome views from Hotel Castillo de Monda and one of the best pizzas I have had! The freshly baled pizza with jamon is so delicious, paired with cerveza! Service is also very good! Enjoyed the road trip from Malaga to Monda, a small town of 2k people.

5 star ratingFriendly, fantastic, relaxing. Our second visit to this amazing location. This time we had a night's stay. This is a must visit on so many levels! Again amazing friendly staff! Our room was just what we wanted. Our food was incredible and a dip in the relaxing pool area made our day off.breakfast was ample choice, fresh all the way. plus extras can be ordered from a hot menu at a small cost. Will happily return in the future. Fantastic job to you all!

5 star ratingBeautiful peaceful lovely staff Decided on a small road trip to a new place on our day off. What a wonderful find. After a very friendly welcome by reception we were able to come and have a drink and rest in the most peaceful atmosphere. Great friendly staff all round, so we decided to book to stay the night in a few weeks, and try the lovely menu on offer and return. Great job everyone. A must visit!

5 star ratingWonderful views, amazing food and friendly staff! The Castillo is an amazing place with wonderful views, all the staff are so friendly and always willing to answer any questions or offer to help you. We were very fortunate to have room 706 which has a huge terrace / balcony with amazing views all around the Castle and of Monda. The food in the restaurant for evening meals was excellent, definitely worth more than the 3 star rating. A rental car is definitely essential if you want to explore the amazing area of mountains, quaint historic villages and the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay, thank you to all the staff for making us so welcome.

5 star ratingCouldn’t recommend enough! 5 star experience! Food, staff, bedroom and views all amazing. We fell in love with this beautiful castle and can’t wait to bring our family’s here! In regards to the food, the portions were more than generous, delicious and very well priced. The cheese cake at the end was so good we even ordered an extra one just to bring to bed!! The mojitos even more delicious.. The accommodation over looking the stunning natural views felt like we were in a fairy tale! All of the staff were more than helpful for anything we needed. Will definitely be back soon, highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful break.

A great place, food is good, not brilliant but good food. Rooms are great, the bathroom a little dull but okay. Staff was so friendly.
Breakfast was limited (perhaps because of the time of year visiting early December).

So only big minus was the very limited breakfast.

5 star ratingGreat stay This was my third visit to Castillo de Monda. I brought a group of friends for their 1st visit and they were all impressed with the setting the facilities and warm welcome we received from the team. The food was excellent from light snacks in the bar and in the restaurant. I would highly recommend Castillo de Monda for a wonderful experience. Can't wait for my next visit. Paul Craggs and friends.
