Ronda
The hotel and restaurant Alavera de los Baños is perhaps the most charming and elegant place to stay in Ronda. Hidden out of the way, down at the bottom of the old Jewish quarter by the river, the hotel is located next door to the famous 13th...

Ampudia
La Casa Grande is reason enough to come to Arcos de la Frontera, and it is by far the best place to stay in town. Arcos, one of the famous white towns of the Andalucian sierra, is much less touristy than nearby Ronda and it is somewhat marred by...

Ronda
La Casona de la Ciudad is a real find – tucked down a side street in the centre of the old medina of Ronda. The friendly and talkative receptionist will welcome you as you enter the hotel, into the light patio with its grand pillars. La Casona was a...
