Top Hotels Near Castillo Árabe in Álora from AU$68

"We stayed at Del Cielo Azul in February, just after the storms had passed through Portugal and Spain. The day we arrived was still a bit stormy, but the next morning the sky was beautifully blue exactly living up to the name. It was a little too cold to use the pool at that time of year, but the setting was still lovely and peaceful. The hotel feels like an old house that has been thoughtfully converted into a small guesthouse. It has a lot of personality and charm — definitely not a generic or chain-style hotel. It’s super quiet, which we really appreciated. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us directions and recommendations for the area, especially for hiking Caminito del Rey, which was one of the main reasons for our visit. The bathroom takes a little time for the hot water to fully heat up, but once it does, the shower is very good and comfortable. The only small improvement I would suggest is providing a bit more shampoo and shower gel the portions were quite small. Breakfast was okay, but dinner was surprisingly excellent. I had the chicken and it was genuinely delicious. There’s also a dog and a cat on the property, they don’t interfere at all, just add to the character of the place. Parking is available at the back of the property, which was convenient. Overall, it’s a charming, quiet, personality-filled stay especially ideal if you’re visiting for hiking in the area."

Plenty of utensils, including a very good barbecue with outdoor wash area and an outdoor fridge.A car is only really required to reach the villa. Alora has many things to see and do.Many thanks Flores and MariaWe had an excellent time "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Mimosa.Steve and Helen have clearly put a lot of work in over the years to the house and gardens as inside and outside is immaculate.The garden and grounds are pristine and it’s clear to see the effort gone in to them. The pool is a good size and our kids enjoyed playing in it as did we to cool down in the July heat. There are lots of different seating options at the front and back of the house for dining or relaxing in the shade, which has also been clearly thought out and added over the years.Inside 3 good sized air conditioned bedrooms all with nice en suites. Large kitchen which is really well equipped. Large living space with 2 sofas and tv plus large dining table - plenty of tv channels available, which Steve showed us and access to Netflix, YouTube etc.Helen and Steve are lovely hosts. They gave us a nice welcome and contacted us in advance of our stay with details of how to get there. They also provided a welcome pack with a lot of food and drinks which was a really nice touch! They keep the pool and area clean in the early mornings. Nothing is too much trouble and Helen gave us some restaurant recommendations during our stay.We’ve stayed in similar properties with pools in Mallorca and Spain over the years but this is probably the nicest as it’s so well cared for by Helen and Steve. Big thanks to them and hopefully we will return again for another relaxing stay!"
