"Great spacious apartment. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen was a bit tight to cook in but fine for one person and well equipped. Staff were very helpful and easily on hand via WhatsApp or in person should you need them. The apartment was well positioned in beautiful Ronda, lots of local amenities near by. The pool was a wonderful touch after being in the heat of the day with stunning views of the vista."

"Fantastic hotel, in a fantastic location, with fantastic staff and wonderful amenities! It can’t come more highly rated with a fantastic terrace bar and pool overlooking the bullring and sunset views, and staff that helped with any questions I had. Breakfast was great and fulfilling. And the room was spacious, mini balconies overlooking the town and a very spacious bathroom. Tip: If you’re a member of Catalonia hotels, you get 10% all food, a free drink when you check in, and a bottle of water for the room"
