Guest Reviews
- Martina (8/5): Rust , en mooi pand - Mooie oude finca, met een heerlijke keuken ,
Echt goed eten
- Dominik (10/5): - Very nice place in the countryside. Room was spacious, rustically decorated and clean. Host was lovely. Private parking in front of the house.
- Montoya Iguiño (10/5): - La comida
- CHRISTELLE (10/5): - Repas copieux et excellent
- Robert (8/5): - Zeer gastvrije ontvangst. Een voydig hotel met prima kamers, heerlijk bed met dikke dons.
Restaurant is uitstekend met vleugje Italiaanse keuken. Najuweñijks noemenswaRdig maar toch. Wifi is overal slecht.douche water gaat vanzelf van heet naar koud en weer terug. Een uitdaging😂😂
- Antonio José (9/5): Para descansar, relajarse y comer bien en un entorno natural muy agradable. - Personal realmente amable. La comida (tanto el desayuno como la cena) muy sabrosa. La cena se disfruta en un entorno muy atractivo y el desayuno muy variado. El hotel cuenta con instalaciones exteriores muy bonitas, incluyendo entorno rural y piscina (aunque esta última no la pudimos disfrutar porque no la abrían hasta mayo). Pero puedo recomendar realizar una estancia en este hotel donde se respira mucha tranquilidad y paz por la noche.
- Enrique (10/5): Fin de etapa de la Gran Senda ideal - Magnífico trato de todo el personal, incluido la magnífica cocinera artífice de parte del éxito Nada
- Franck (8/5): Je recommande. - Très sympa, nature, authentique, bonne restauration

- Antonio (9/5): -
- Tim (8/5): - Vriendelijke gastheer die ons meteen bij de boeking verwittigde dat er geen avondeten is op dinsdag. We hebben wel bestek en borden mogen gebruiken. De aanwezige spelletjes hebben ons leuk geholpen om de regendag door te komen. Er is ook heel wat lectuur beschikbaar, onder andere over de Gran Senda de Malaga.
- Mueller (9/5): -
- Ian (10/5): Lovely Old World Hotel ... At least 2 star grades above its actual rating. - Perfect location and we loved the traditional style of the hotel fittings. Excellent decor throughout. Bar and restaurant facilities were great. Very friendly and efficient owners and staff. Involved in an Orienteering event in the nearby large village of Villanueva de Tapia. Lovely rural scenery and not too far from Archidona, Loja and Granada (an amazing place in its own right / only half an hour away by car). Swimming pool looks good for the hot Summer days. A perfect place to stay. A good base to enjoy this part of Andalucia. Nothing to report on. It rained overnight the day before we checked in but during our stay, perfect weather during the Orienteering.

- Henk (9/5): Prima verblijf bij LaPaloma - Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst door de host die uitstekend Engels spreekt.
Mooi authentiek gebouw, redelijk rustig gelegen. Gratis parkeren op eigen terrein. Kamer en badkamer zijn basic, maar heel schoon en netjes!
Ontbijt, ruim voldoende.
Al met al een uitstekende prijs-kwaliteit verhouding! Wifi zou wel iets beter mogen.
- Hormigo Ruiz (10/5): Relax y tranquilidad entre olivos - Habitación, comida, tranquilidad, piscina....todo en general excelente y súper agradables los empleados. La almohada quizás demasiado baja, sólo eso

Dus ontzettend genoten. Het ontbijt (apart betaald) de volgende ochtend was heel uitgebreid en goed verzorgd. Met zelfgemaakte taarten. Echt heel lekker. Precies niets.

Zimmer klein aber fein. Gutes Restaurant und gutes Frühstück!
- Gerardo (10/5): -
- Holmes (10/5): Stay here, you will be very relaxed and well catered for. - The hotel was very well managed and had excellent facilities that were well presented and very clean.
The location was ideal, and the restaurant and food was also extremely varied.
Had a great entrecot. Loved all.
- Brigitte (9/5): Séjour satisfaisant dans l’ensemble. - Les propriétaires très accueillants, parlent le français, bonne situation de l’hôtel, très calme. Repas servis tard. 2 jours de repos, le soir pas possibilité de manger.
- Lallera (10/5): - Come sempre sono le persone a fare la differenza. Piccolo angolo di pace, curato ed accogliente in ogni dettaglio (dalla qualità della biancheria, all'arredo degli spazi in comune), colazione e ristorante (extra) di tutto rispetto ma soprattutto personale attento e premuroso. La piccola piscina nel verde è il plus in una accaldata Andalusia anche a fine stagione.
- YOLANDA (7/5): -
- Cynthia (8/5): - Chambre tres propre, literie confortable, petit dejeuner et dîner tres bon rapport qualité prix. Manque cruel d isolation entre les chambres, on entend tout.

- inmaculada (10/5): Excelente - Amabilidad, limpieza, entorno, excelente restaurante, Nos gustó todo,
- Ania (10/5): - Najlepszy hotel w jakim spaliśmy podczas Naszej podróży po Andaluzji. Uroczy ogród z basenem, super klimatyczne pokoje, które są cudnie urządzone, dostępny parking, smaczne śniadanko i Ander, który cały czas był z Nami w kontakcie, uśmiechniety i bardzo pomocny. Więc jeśli szukacie odpoczynku od miejskiego zgiełku koniecznie musicie odwiedzić to miejsce.
- Jose Luis (10/5): Relax y comodidad. - Fuimos un día por una boda, flexibles en entrada y salida y es de agradecer. Buenas piscina y paisaje relajante para desconexión.Habitación cómoda y bien decorada,todo muy nuevo. Poca luz natural en habitación, y plan b que es la luz de las lámparas era baja . No hay internet en la zona,no sabemos si hay wifi en el hotel.
- ABRIANE (9/5): Très Satisfait - Personnel très aimable
Petit déjeuner copieux
Cuisine variée (Vous pouvez même déguster des plats à la Marocaine en pleine Andalousie)
Séjour agréable Manque d'un petit réfrigérateur dans la chambre
- Federica (10/5): È un posto che consiglierei e in cui vorrei ritornare. - La posizione è stupenda e molto rilassante, anche grazie ai servizi di piscina e ristorazione che rendono la vacanza piacevole.
- Rafael Manuel (9/5): -
- Jose Antonio (10/5): - Todo, las instalaciones, la piscina, el entorno, los empleados, su dueño, maravillosa persona con muchos detalles y muy campechano.

- sevillano (10/5): Experiencia perfecta - El trato del personal es excelente, son cálidos y amables. El hotel está situado en la sierra de Málaga, muy bien comunicado. Hay mucha paz y tranquilidad, las habitaciones y zonas comunes limpísimas. La comida es muy buena, es casera, con productos frescos, muy recomendable.
Un hotel para repetir sin duda. Por poner una pega, a mejorar, la señal del wifi es un poco débil.

- Bryony (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely and welcoming hotel in a beautiful location. I also reccomend eating in the restaurant as the food is delicious.
- Louise (8/5): A lovely rural hotel - The rural setting, despite being by a main road, was lovely and peaceful. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated. The terrace for evening drinks was lovely and the restaurant had good choices for vegetarians and the service was excellent. Not much. Breakfast was a little basic but absolutely fine for what we needed.
- Samuel (10/5): A quiet and relaxing hotel well suited to go to different places. - We did not have breakfast. but we ate in the restaurant on the two nights. This is a small hotel set out in the country but the restaurant has a very good menu and the food is of a very high quality and is cooked to perfection and well presented. There was nothing we did not like.

Big plus for the on site restaurant. We had a tasty meal there. Nice and clean rooms. Superb AC and WiFi. Not a major issue but there was some road noise but only when you were outdoors. The rooms were silent. The pool furniture had seen better days.
- Rupert (10/5): A Jewel - Todo Nada
- Francesca (8/5): Very good -
- Ann (9/5): Superb - Staff were very friendly and helpful. There were alot of wasps around ...but what could be done?
- Nestor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Helen (8/5): Great place to relax in the countryside. - What a great find! A lovely little hotel with 8 rooms in a great rural location, quite despite being close to the road. The restaurant was excellent and is obviously frequented by lots of locals as well as staying guests too. We loved everything we ate there. A great swimming pool with shade and a perfect spot to while away the afternoon quietly reading. The staff were lovely and the couple who run the place made a lovely effort for us to enjoy our stay. We felt it was a personal service offered. There were pool towels provided, as well as Sunlounger mattresses. It is a simple and clean place and we felt good value. The mattress on the bed had a little dip on my side of the bed. My partner’s side was fine
- Lidia (10/5): Excelente Hotel Rural -
- Rob (7/5): Adequate 2 star hotel - Breakfast was ok with everything one would expect.
Evening meals were superb, excellent menu choices with all meals delicious.
Staff very pleasant and helpful Road noise was quite loud from our room, as was the incessant barking of a local dog, only matched by a local rooster who didn't know when sunrise was!
Staff cleaning room need to ensure toilet roll is stocked up more frequently, as this was not done on last day and we ran out, and there was no-one in to get another. Good job we had a supply of tissues.
- Caroline (10/5): Great stay. Lovely hosts. Lovely hotel - Beautiful property in the heart of the countryside. Quiet and peaceful Everything great
- Dawid (7/5): Nice, calm countryside hotel. - Well mantained and clean. Delicious food at the restaurant. Not well insulated doors. I could hear very well the conversations in adjacentvrooms and in the corridor.
- Catherine (2/5): Very poor - When we arrived( having driven five and a half hours) the owners looked very stressed. And then we discovered that the restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday except for breakfast. The owners then informed us that they would be leaving at 8pm and gave us a key to the main door. There was a light on in another upsairs room but as far as we could tell we were the only guests there.
We slept badly as there were noises coming from the beds every time we turned. We are enclosing a foto of the bed....they were both the same with the matress way too long for the bedframe.
We glimpsed one of the owners next morning...he said Hello but didn't ask if we were ok, had a good sleep or if we'd like breakfast. As there was no welcoming smell of cooking coming from the kitchen we didn't bother staying.
Our Tues was similar and when we checked out on Wednesday one of the owners was there and all he said was Goodbye.
Approximately 8 years ago we stayed at La Paloma (under different management) and enjoyed the experience very much, which is why we chose it this time. Everything
- Alderson (9/5): A trip with the grandchildren.. - Very friendly and helpful staff.good value for money
The pool was clean and very quiet.very relaxing. Spiders in the bedroom..but as it's a rural hotel you can expect this I guess..
- Marianne (10/5): Brilliant rural place - Cosy rural place - amazing restaurant
- Marekch (8/5): Pleasent stay to explore the area - Property has nice grounds and good road connections to explore the area. Restaurant and bar are excellent and good value for money. Room furnishings are on a sparse side
- Polly (10/5): Amazing comfortable kind and helpful owners. Perfect - It was in a beautiful location. Tranquil and calm. The grounds were so natural. Most of all the owners were the most helpful people from the minute we arrived. They just couldn’t do enough. Our car had broken down and they were on it straight away. Such service and kindness blew us away. N/A
- Ciaran (8/5): Very good -
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dorota (8/5): Very good -
- Christine (8/5): Nice hotel with good amenities, good breakfast and restaurant - Breakfast was excellent. The pool was large. Our room was very rural but relatively large facing the garden. On Monday when we arrived the restaurant wasn't open but we bought some food at the supermarket and the owners laid a table for us on the terrace so we could have dinner. We were able to purchase some beer and wine too. A very kind gesture as the bar and restaurant were closed. Dinner in the restaurant on Tuesday was excellent The hotel is nearer to the road than I thought. It was a bit disturbing
- Lucy (9/5): Great location from which to visit Córdoba, Granada and explore the Andalusian landscape - Lovely breakfast and exceptional food in the restaurant
Location great for exploring the wider area and very beautiful to drive around.
Very friendly staff
. Swimming pool great and well kept grounds
- Thomas (10/5): Relaxing, quiet, comfortable, perfect. - We just love this hotel. It is quiet, relaxing, peaceful, the perfect place have a chilled out holiday. The rooms are clean and comfortable with all the facilities that you would need. The hotel is set in lovely grounds and has a fantastic, large pool area. If you choose to have breakfast there is plenty of choice to suit all and the hotel restaurant serves the most beautiful food as ever. Andreas, Jackomo and all the staff at the hotel do everything they can to ensure guests have the most perfect stay. We look forward to our return.
- Nigel (7/5): Classic Rural Hotel - We were probably the only guests there but it wasn't the tourist season and the hotel is a bit off the beaten track. I liked that the hotel had its own restaurant and the food was very good. Room had a nice view and beds were comfortable. We opened the bedroom window and got eaten alive by mosquitos. We just assumed that they would have fly screens if they had mosquito problems but obviously not.
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
