We were in Feb during the week - it was quiet and in fact very relaxing. Olivier was around and always happy to help or provide some advice. No issue with a train station just behind the hotel - it's pretty quiet. Breakfast was rich, fresh and nicely served. It was a great basis for our hikes during the day. Olivier served it one day for us before the official breakfast hours as we were heading to Caminito del Rey for an early start - that was very kind of him.

Our stay at El Cielo Azul in Álora was amazing. Olivier, the super-friendly and attentive host, made us feel instantly at home and his sweet dog Chang and the cats welcomed us on a daily base. The guesthouse is peaceful, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We loved relaxing in the lush garden and enjoying the delicious breakfast as well as the meals — especially the Bolognese! An great experience we can’t wait to repeat.

We recently stayed at El Cielo Azul and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were very nice, offering a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. The location itself was beautiful, providing a serene and picturesque setting. Although it was a bit difficult to find at first, everything else was excellent. The owners were incredibly accommodating, waking up earlier to specially make breakfast for us, because we were heading to El Caminito del Rey.I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Nothing.

We stayed in the property for two nights to walk the Caminito del Rey and the property was in a great location for that, especially if you wanted to use the train (the station was just opposite). The house was very nicely decorated and furnished. The continental breakfast was excellent and included lovely homemade jams, pancakes and fresh fruit salad. The owner and his friend were so nice and helpful! They prepared an evening meal for us at short notice because it was raining so heavily that we couldn't go out, and on the last morning, when we found we had a flat tyre, they let us stay until we finally got the problem sorted. They helped by talking in Spanish to the breakdown service which was so useful. I would definitely recommend staying there if you are planning to walk the Caminito del Rey!

Nothing.

Breakfast was served outside in the lovely garden. Coffee refills, fresh pancakes, eggs were always offered. Beers were ice cold. Pool was always clean and open. Very friendly and accommodating owners/staff. 2 minutes from Alora station which goes directly into Malaga. Authentic Spanish house. All room facilities in good working order.

We had to go home.............

This hotel was a real find. The location was great. Located strategically to access El Caminito del Rey, or Marbella or other towns in the periphery. If you wanted to just relax in the beautiful environment stay back and enjoy. The pool was fantastic, the grounds well cared for and the owner, Olvier was, what can we say? A true jewel. He serves great dinners, prepared by his partner and has an excellent collection of beers from all over the world. You can enjoy the evening, under the stars, sipping your wine or beer. Nothing to distract you, complete relaxation! Also, Oliver is well connected to agencies that can help you get tickets to El Caminito del Rey or to a restaurant. He knows the area well and what to us was important, he knows the history of his own property and the area in general.

We found that parking was a bit hard. If you had a big car, you could not fit in that space. But that did not deters one from enjoying the place.

The place is charming and the staff welcoming and flexible. We had a lovely stay at El Cielo Azul where Olivier was treating us with a very nice breakfast and cosy rooms.

Nothing, everything was great. The hotel is close to the train station but we hardly noticed it and slept very well.

Quiet village road, very peaceful. The house was charming, elegant and a step back in time with some modern twists such as the coffee machine and modern bathroom. The garden was peaceful and very beautiful. We loved the breakfast. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, nothing seemed to be a problem.

The host was very attentive with his guests. The breakfast each morning of our stay was exceptional. He and his group of pets watched over us and provided much enjoyment.

Unfortunately the location was slightly disappointing due to being adjacent to a train station. Parking is a short walk from the hotel.

This property is outstanding, the attention to detail, style and luxury was superb. There is a very special ambience and relaxing feel to this gem of a hotel. The hosts were extremely helpful and informative on the local history and incredibly welcoming. We can’t wait to return.

There was no negative
