Hotel la Fuente de la Higuera

Views were spectacular, the service excellent and the food terrific. A wonderful experience. I appreciated that they upgraded the room with a fireplace which was wonderful considering the damp and cold weather we experienced while in Spain.

We traveled to Ronda after a couple of busy days in Madrid and Seville. What a wonderful experience at this hotel!! Beautiful room (we had room #2), gorgeous, peaceful property and outstanding service!!! We traveled by train but it was easy to call for a cab to and from the town center. A magical experience!!

The hotel is set n the heart of the countryside with fantastic views. We had a lovely large room with a large terrace overlooking the valley. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast was excellent as was the evening meal. It’s a very relaxing place to stay.

Small boutique hotel hidden away in the countryside with wonderful views, this somewhat hidden gem was the perfect launch pad to visit Ronda and its environs. Lovely food, delightful service, spacious room … the perfect setting for a relaxing evening and good night’s sleep after visiting the various towns, villages and countryside in the locality. We found a discerning clientele staying at this hotel, and it was a delight to exchange with others as we enjoyed our evenings. We would definitely go back !

So this is pretty difficult to write because upon driving up, the place looks great. We were upgraded into a larger room but unfortunately we didn’t think it was that good. The bed had two single duvets on a queen sized bed which didn’t really work for us. The bathroom was without doubt the weakest element though. Without extraction, mould will grow and it did here in two significant patches. Good points, plenty of hot water, great shower. Bad points, mould, not enough power sockets (had to boil the kettle on the floor) no plugs by the bed to charge phones etc… Restaurant and restaurant staff, exceptional. We were also a bit sad that the pool was empty with just leaves in it. We weren’t told that this would be the case and whilst we wouldn’t necessarily have swam, it was definitely warm enough to sit outside and it’s nicer to sit by a pool. Needs a decent amount of investment to bring it up to what it could be and then they’d probably be able to charge double for the rooms but keep the restaurant the same and it’s a winning combination. I think another problem which isn’t the hotels fault was that we’d just travelled to this hotel from a really nice hotel in Seville which likely made the differences stand out more.
