This property is beautiful. Nestled in the valley overlooking the fields, it has quiet charm and luxury. The staff were exceptional, the rooms were incredible, the grounds were peaceful. The area is close enough to drive to nearby attractions. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Stop looking! This place was just amazing and I dont say this ligthly. Open less than 20y ago in a ancient Olive farm. Owners/staff have to live there because they were always there. We had a late dinner on our firt night and it was gourmet. We also had breakfast before leaving and it was sublime...nothing "continental"...all made there to order. Gardens and great pool, quaint room and a rural feel. Perfect to explore Ronda and the Pueblos Blancos. We were there for 2 nights with our 13 and 9 yo and they loved it.

Fantastic rural hotel
The Molino del Arco is a fantastic rural hotel with excellent customer service from a small friendly team of people. The food was very good and mainly all cooked on site. We had a suite which was a fabulous room over 3 floors. A great stay. Amazing rural views too. You do however need a car if you stay here as the hotel is very isolated and it is also very difficult to find the first time, especially at night. We stayed in January and it was quite cold in our room even with the heating. However, I definitely recommend and would love to return one day.

A tranquil retreat.
We stayed in this rural retreat, it was ideal as a contrast to the busy sightseeing days in Ronda and Granada. It has lovely gardens and large secluded pool. The food was superb featuring local produce and wines, served by friendly attentive staff. A little lacking in outdoor seating areas around the grounds and courtyard, overall a place to recommend.

Lovely Hotel in the country
We loved staying outside of Ronda in the countryside at Hotel Molino del Arco. It's perfectly situated on the hill with beautiful views of rolling countryside and olive orchards. Our room worked well for our family of 4 (we had two extra single beds for our kids) - spacious so it didn't feel crowded even with the extra beds. We all wished we could have stayed another night. Both dinner and breakfast upstairs were delicious and featured beautiful views, too. This is a charming, wonderful place to stay and we hope to be back!

A stunning property in a peaceful, scenic setting
We thoroughlu enjoyed our stay here - so much so we tried to book another night but the hotel was full! The property is stunning and the beautiful gardens it looks out on like a lush oasis with the dry mountain terrain surrounds. The staff work tirelessly if you're after any help, guidance or a meal in the restaurant (which we would certainly recommend you try!) but mostly the hotel is run such that you're left to enjoy the peace and quiet, making yourself at home in the numerous living rooms, courtyards, self-service bar and pools!

Sanctuary of calm
A stunning hotel that feels very authentic and is set in fantastic countryside. The hotel was a little difficult to find (follow the signs from the main road rather than your sat-nav) but well worth it. It is a little sanctuary of sereneness set close to Ronda. I expect that we will look at going back here for walking/horse-riding holidays in the future although the proximity to Ronda and local knowledge from the hotel staff mean this is ideal for a visit to this beautiful town too. The hotel staff are all delightful and very helpful; the breakfast, honesty bar and set up are great and I can recommend this as a brilliant hotel to get away from hectic every day life!

Very comfy place in the countryside
Beautiful facility... it was staying at a marvelously appointed ranch house. Outside of the city of Ronda, but only 15 minute drive. Our rooms were just lovely, and the bed exceedingly huge and very comfortable. With the window open at night, just wonderful to sleep in the hush of the countryside. Very good breakfast, everything about the place is lovely, thoughtfully appointed. Wonderful garden to the hotel, and beyond that, we took a walk along the path through olive trees and views of neighboring farm houses, cultivated fields, hills and blue blue sky. Just a satisfying place to relax and then to enjoy Ronda, we were very happy with the hotel and would stay again or recommend to friends.

Charming Country Hotel
The hotel is lovely in itself, beautiful gardens, and pool area. The hotel is located far from town. You definitely need a car to get around. The Jr. Suite was charming, but very DARK. Internet would come and go. We also had no cell service. If you want to do nothing but relax, this is the place for you. It was overall a beautiful property out in the middle of no where. Very clean rooms and friendly staff.

Not that great....
The location of the hotel is nice if you want some quiet time, and it has central heating which is much appreciated in winter time. I am afraid thats all positive I can say about the hotel. The room we had was quite dark and a little dump. If you want to see something or eat elsewhere then in a hotel you must go everywhere by car, which can became more and more annoying every day. The food is not that great at the hotel, we stayed there for 6 nights and we had breakfast and dinner only once......the breakfast were lets say a little disappointing for that kind of money and the dinner portions were rather small and a blend. We had a great food for the rest of our stay at the neighbourhood hotels. What else to add.....

Get away from it all !
Amazing location if you want to get away from everything. Surrounded by hills with incredible views. There really is nothing for miles. The pool and gardens are huge and rambling allowing you to get lost. Perfect for disappearing off to read a book with a secret glass of wine. Rooms are basic but rustic charm abounds. The public areas are charmingly decorated and restaurant menu is simple wholesome and homemade with local rustic wine selection. Truly a quiet place to reflect, rest and escape the world.

If you like to be just out of town
We enjoyed our stay at the Melino del Arco which is just a 10 minute drive from old town Ronda. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. There is a bodega just a few minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel is very quaint and decorated in in old Spanish way. the room was comfortable and clean. One negative aspect of our stay was the dinner we had which was acceptable but not great and was overpriced in our opinion.

Amazing hotel in a peaceful location
First thing it to note that you need to take the road from Ronda to Seville and then turn right at the 26km sign and then follow the signs to the hotel. Sat nav will take you on the 'scenic route'! Reception closes at midnight so let them know if you will be late. Check the phone number, the one we got off Expedia wasn't answered. It was like waking up in paradise. Beautiful buildings and gardens await you and the surroundings are idyllic. We had a junior suite and it was comfortable and so quiet and dark we nearly slept through breakfast! Breakfast was delicious and the staff were lovely. The location means that it is a 10 minute drive into Ronda (follow central parking signs), 1.5 hours to Marbella down the winding mountain roads and 2 hours to Seville. We were sad to leave and want to take the hotel with us everywhere we go! :o)

Castle on the farm
The castle/estate meets the farm.because that's where it's located.On a farm.Not on any gps maps because the 1.5 mile long dirt road from the highway is a not a legal street.No lights at night.Drive at own risk.Very friendly and helpful staff.No early wake up call because the staff doesn't start work until 8am.Free parking.It's a very nice place with nice people working there,but the location being located so far out of the way makes it not recommended for me.The hotel needs better marketing and signage/lighting to help people find this place.

this place is in the country ,about 20 minute drive from city center.their gardens are filled of many beautiful gardens . the rooms are clean , receptionist speaks various languages .WIFI only available in their lobby area.plan to eat dinner there because its delicious and very difficult to leave the area at night. we spend 2 1/2 hours looking for this hotel because the main road to the hotel was close down for 24 hours because of the San Isidro fair . they have 2 signs on the main road and NO other signs anywhere else.

Beau, un peu chère
Bel hôtel en campagne de Ronda. Paisible, vue impressionnante sur la Vallée. Le confort des chambres arrivent tout juste à la hauteur du prix demandé . La piscine aurait besoin d’un peu d’amour, ainsi que le mobilier patio. Le restaurant offre une carte intéressante à prix un peu au-dessus de la qualité finale. Route pour s’y rendre sportive (avons éclaté un pneu au retour!). Bien, mais on peut trouver mieux si l’on cherche.
