Hotel la Fuente de la Higuera

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.

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.

The room was lovely. Service was nice but the location was a little further out than we expected from Ronda.! Also a glass of fizz or drink on arrival would be welcoming.! Shame the place was looking a little tired with leaks of rain coming in buckets which were used to catch the rain water. However the services was very good and helpful when needed.

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.

Amazing
