Arriadh Hotel, Ronda

Authenticity

A family-owned boutique hotel, your hosts are Wilbur and John from the Netherlands, who take a lot of pride in achieving their goal of running a small accommodation in southern Spain. They purchased this old farmhouse in 2013 and, today, share their love of Andalusia and Spanish gastronomy with their guests.

Location

Though a little further away from the center of Ronda, it only takes about 15 minutes by car. As a trade-off, you'll be a five-minute drive (or 20-minute walk) to the white village of Arriate. This is the smallest town in the region but has a big reputation for tasty tapas and fun-filled Easter and Halloween celebrations. Views from the hotel overlook the town, plus the surrounding hills, valleys, and mountains.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms are fairly simple and modern with wooden furniture and white bedding, creating a fresh, airy feeling. All have double beds and traditional tiled floors, plus rainfall showers. Those on the ground floor open up to the garden patio, and rooms on the first floor have a private balcony overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside. 

Other Highlights

Enjoy relaxing in the hotel's common areas, including an outdoor swimming pool with a sundeck, a garden with hammocks, a terrace with sun loungers, and a dining area near the tapas bar. You'll enjoy a breakfast buffet in the morning and can snack on tapas in the afternoons, but the hosts are happy to prepare dinner for you upon request. Parking is free.
