The staff were welcoming despite our late arrival and the hotel was really easy to find- just off of the main road to Granada. Breakfast is superb. Only criticism was the looped English Xmas music in both restaurant and lounge

Hidden treasure !

3 days stay to visit the area. Hotel was very pleasant , pool if you wanted to swim . Tranquil and quiet. Food was very good , both lunch menu and the dinner menu were excellent value and delicious. Lunch ends at 3.30 and nothing until 8pm , if you plan for that no problem. Room was comfortable and clean , quaint in some respects . Highly recommend for a base in the area , a romantic weekend or an overnight stay as only a couple of km off the A92.

Nice stay at La Paloma

We enjoyed our stay at La Paloma. It was in a lovely quiet rural setting and provided comfort and a superb restaurant. Easy to find with ample parking it's small size made it friendly and cosy. Andreas is the owner, he speaks excellent English and was very helpful in every way. we had dinner there 2 nights and enjoyed it very much, it was a very good menu. Breakfast offered a wide selection and was also very good. Our room overlooked the countryside and pool area and was cosy, warm and had a nice small bathroom. We would be happy to stay there again.

Hotel a joy, quite and unassuming.

The hotel is in a beautiful spot with great views across the fields and mountains. Easy access from the main a92, without having to drive too far in the dark on unfamiliar roads. We were late arriving and the owners had left out a letter for us with instructions which was wonderful. The room was very clean and comfortable, no tea making facilities but that's just an English thing. Breakfast the following day was plentiful, bread, cheese, ham, fruit, juice, cereal, yoghurt, pastries and tea or coffee. Evening meal was possible but best to book as they do take guests from other hotels. Bar area for drinks and nibbles. Owners friendly and accommodating. Swimming pool for those not exploring the area too far. Would recommend and stay again.

Great people, great food very relaxed stay.

The guys who own and run the hotel went the extra mile, very accommodating. The food from the restaurant was excellent, I had the best salad I have ever had and considered not having a main meat course, which is something for me as I'm a serious carnivore, I had a pork dish to follow generous but not overly large portions, well presented and very tasty Spanish food with an Italian twist. The owners were always present and very much behind the scenes but always available if required. Good off road parking, safe and pleasant environment.

Fabulous Rural Retreat

My wife & I have just returned from a 4 day break at the hotel, If you are looking to get away for a complete chill out in Andalucia look no furthur, this place is the place to be. The management & hotel staff go the extra mile nothing is too much trouble. The swimmimg pool and area was lovely and peaceful. We had breakfast and evening meal at the hotel each day and it was suberb. Cannot fault this hotel and will be retuning very shortly and we have already recommended this to friends who want the peace and quiet that this hotel has to offer.

Absolutely ideal for exploring Andalusia

We chose the hotel for its central location, which is perfect if you're renting a car and driving to different cities. It's within a very easy (wide-open freeways) two-hour drive of Granada, Córdoba, Málaga, and Seville. (Also don't overlook the lovely ancient city of Antiquera, which is nearby.) Yet it is out in quiet and very beautiful countryside. What we didn't expect was that the hotel itself would be one of the highlights. It's not ornate, but it's beautiful and extremely well run. The decor is simple, but very nice. The food is simple but very well made. The pool is large, clean, private, and pleasant. And the staff stay out of your way but are friendly and extremely helpful whenever you need anything. One thing needs to be changed on the website: They can't help you with tickets to the Alhambra any more. (Unfortunately, these days you need to book well in advance for the Alhambra, the Great Mosque and Alcazar of Cordoba, and the Alcazar and Cathedral of Seville, or else pay a fortune for a guided tour group.) But we can't recommend La Paloma enough!

Peace and Rural Tranquility

My stay was perfect; quiet and isolated rural tranquility. It proved to be perfect for the relaxing, reading and writing I needed to do. Breakfast was substantial and well-priced at 5 Euros. The restaurant meals were also excellent. Staff, throughout my staff, were always very pleasant and attentive. Overall, perfect for my simple needs, I wish them well
