Excellent hôtel...la vue est magnifique. L'hôtel est situé dans l'arrière pays, au milieu des champs d'oliviers, mais à distance raisonnable entre tous les sites touristiques (aller à El Torcal avec de belles balades) On peut faire des promenades en famille, à pied, autour de l'hôtel. Les prestations sont de quaité. Chambres impec, piscine aussi. Les repas peuvent être servis sous des tonelles ou sur une terrase. Le vent d'été y est très agréable. Si l'on rajoute que le personnel est très avenant, on ne serait pas encore assez concis pour dire tout le bien que l'on pense de l'endroit. Mille bravos. Très bon souvenir.

Exceptionally friendly staff, very good food in the restaurant (including locally caught Sturgeon and Trout) and a good wine list make this a must-stop-at in the region. Only downsides are the very-clean rooms are just OK in terms of decor - trying to be luxury, but not quite making it. The bar a little stark. Breakfast the usual uninspiring Spanish fare. And the pool unheated so a little chilly in October. The hotel has disabled access, inc lift/elevator. And a pool table. But not much else besides. But overall it's lovely, with gorgeous views of olive groves all around. Very relaxing. The village of RioFrio is a 15 minute walk down the (steep) hill, with restaurants - Pacos is a local draw, with cheap and OK food - and a (shabby) Sunday market. RioFrio also boasts a river with most amazingly-healthy and well-fed ducks and trout I think I've ever seen! The Alhambra/Granada and Cordoba are 2hours away by car, Malaga airport 45 minutes. The sleepy little town of Loja, 3 km away, is also a nice little sidetrip. There IS a train line that runs right next to the hotel, but has I think only one 2-carriage train a day, so noise wasn't an issue. The train will stop, we were told, for parties of 15 or more. Enjoy.
