Finca la Bobadilla - the Leading Hotels of the World

One of the most charming and well-designed hotels. Many rooms are suites and each has a different layout. Incredible venue for a wedding/event. The pool area is lovely. The staff friendly, courteous and strive to please.

Beautiful hotel, fantastic service. Flawless! Our suite was beautiful, amazing views and very comfortable for my family - we are five, 2 adults, 3 kids. Breakfast was great - very good selection and great service. Lunch options were good also - good outdoor and indoor seating available and nice choice of food. Same for dinner. Lovely views from the restaurant. Swimming pool was lovely and very large area for sunbathing around the gardens. We had a Michelin star dinner which was incredible, one of the highlights of the stay. We also had a picnic prepared to have in the garden. There are donkeys, red squirrels and lots of nice trails to walk. Kids club also. More for younger kids but still a nice flexible option for older ones too. We were recommend a great place for horse riding also. Really enjoyable. Overall a lovely place to stay in Andalucia. Highly recommend.

While the hotel is beautiful and picturesque, they really need to up their service levels. Their room acs do not cool at all. When we asked why they are not cooling they said this is how it is Their menu needs to be revamped to incorporate a global taste profile as it’s catered only to Europeans. We are Indian (Hindu) but live In dubai so the food options were quite limited for us. Having said that the team tried their best to cater to some veg options for us immediately but if you’re planning to stay for 3 nights then be ware as there are very few options and only three main menus across the entire hotel as there are three restaurants. on the final night my son wanted to just have some plain rice and when I asked our server Miguel he said there was no rice remaining. When we asked if there was no rice in the entire hotel he said possibly there is. So he just didn’t want to go out of his way to get me some plain rice for my son. He did eventually get it but why not try the first time around . Also Miguel needs to be more friendly given he is a service staff he stood out as the only non friendly one. Not sure if it was a language barrier. On the pool side we had to wait for a long time to get served . Eventually I walked up to the bar myself and was charged for water which I found very strange as in used to being served still water for free by the poolside on hot and sunny days. But on the second day I noticed that everyone else was simply asking for water and were served in a glass so I ended up doing the same and wasn’t charged this time around. Again a simple add on like just asking the two servers to walk around the pool to serve water in a very hot day would have been lovely. Or serving simple lemon ice lollies for the kids on a day where temperatures reach 40 degrees. The hotel is working in silos. When we asked reception for help with booking the spa they asked to contact the spa directly instead. We wanted to book tickets to Al hambra as there were too many sites claiming they were legitimate . We went to the concierge and they knew as much as we did. So I ended up spending an hour by the pool figuring out which website is the official one to book tickets on and which guided tour to go for. I don’t understand why the hotel staff just cannot help for a simple task like this. Also Their tv in the rooms don’t have any Apple TV or Netflix streaming options . When you’re in a resort like this it’s nice to relax and watch a movie with the kids at night but we were also unable to do that. Again a simple fix that the management can just add. Their usb charging ports were not working In our room. Also there is absolutely nothing to do around the hotel so don’t even bother venturing out unless you’re headed to Al hambra which is gorgeous! We asked the concierge as we wanted to visit the nearest local town and they recommended a restaurant to try in loja. When we reached we found out that the restaurant was closed because it was Sunday

Just over an hours easy drive from Malaga airport is this wonderful, rural hotel. The valet whisked our car & luggage away. Welcoming check in, great junior suite. Good air con, comfy bed and everything we could wish for room wise. We enjoyed negronis in the bar before dining and on both nights we very much enjoyed our dinner at the Michelin starred La Finca restaurant on site. One tip is to bring insect spray as the countryside location encourages insects in the summer. Lovely & extensive pool area with helpful staff. This was our second visit and did not disappoint. We also found the room and facilities to be great value for money. We were told the hotel had recently changed hands. We hope they won’t change too much. We will definitely return.
