Beautiful House

Lovely couple run this B&B from Belgium, Gave great local advice on where to eat and visit, cooked great food including breakfast. Beautiful historic house by the station but didn't notice the trains which run quietly.

We stayed here for a week and had an absolutely exceptional experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the whole building was kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The standout feature was the beautiful garden, full of gorgeous plants with both sunny spots and plenty of shade, along with a very clean and inviting pool that was perfect for cooling off. What really made our stay so special was our wonderful host. He was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond when we had some car issues by ringing around local garages and helping us get everything sorted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local area, from things to do in and around Álora to hidden gems further afield, and his advice really helped us refine our itinerary for the week. On top of that, he was warm, kind and easygoing, which made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived, even when we got there very late at nearly half past one in the morning. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was fantastic. If you do not want to venture into Álora, which also has a great choice of bars and restaurants, this is a perfect option after a long day of travelling. We had a car but it is also really conveniently placed for the train station, so it is ideal for people who do not have a rental for the week. Overall this was a perfect stay with a brilliant mix of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and the most wonderful hospitality. We could not recommend it highly enough

The hosts are very responsive and very nice. The place is spotless and the pool is amazing. If you come by train, the station is right across the hotel but you won’t hear it at night as it stops early. Visit the beautiful city of Alora and perfect stay to visit Caminito del Rey! Would recommend.

Lovely B&B beautiful building with a cosy atmosphere. Room delightful with comfy beds and great linen. Bathroom and shower adequate. Great breakfast in the pretty flowered garden and evening meal was tasty with a good choice. Only negative points was that it is next to a railway line, but there was no trains in the night to bother us, and the owners have a German shepherd that barked and made me uneasy….. but I don’t like dogs, and they did offer to remove it …. But it is her home ! All in all a lovely stay and very friendly and obliging owners …. Would recommend!

Wonderful!

Olivier was a wonderful host. He carried my bag upstairs for me! The pool/garden are and patio next to our room were very comfortable places to relax. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious down to the freshly made crepes with himemade compotes. Free parking right next to the house.

Great Stay

We stayed overnight before going to the Caminito del Rey in the morning.The B & B was awesome!! The hosts were great!! We had dinner and drinks out by the pool and it was really, really good. Breakfast in the morning was excellent. We really enjoyed staying here and our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer. Thanks Brad & Kris

A Great Place to Stay

We had a great time here, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for Oliver to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Great choice of food for breakfast and they were happy to make us an omelette when we asked! We ate here on 2 evenings, due to not many local restaurants being open (Sunday and Monday) and the food was very nice. The pool is lovely and much bigger than I was expecting for such a small hotel. Sun beds would benefit from having shade provided by umbrella’s as they didn’t fall into shade until late in the afternoon. Our room was big enough and had an air-con unit which was needed. The hotel provides 4 hours of air-con use daily and you can top this up at a cost of €1 for every additional 4 hours. The bathroom was very clean and modern. We would recommend El Cielo Azul for a lovely, relaxing stay.

Wonderful, very friendly and attentive owners. Our room overlooked a train station - but it was not a bother and sort of charming in its own way. The family room was big, comfortable and clean. We felt really welcomed and looked after. The breakfast was a nice treat.
