Hotel La Fuente de la Higuera, Ronda

Authenticity

Hotel La Fuente de la Higuera (meaning "fountain of the fig tree") sits in a renovated olive mill with its property surrounded by olive trees still producing fruit and oils. The property is full of Andalusian charms, including a beautiful inner courtyard, tall white columns, brick walls, fireplaces, and colorful textiles.

Location

Hotel La Fuente de la Higuera is only a 15-minute drive from the center of Ronda, or about 5.5 miles. It's quiet and private, with the house at the end of a countryside road surrounded by agricultural land and hills. You can quickly drive to local wineries, hiking trails, or the small town of Arriate (just 11 minutes away), well-known for its lively Easter and Halloween festivals despite being the tiniest town in the region.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Choose from standard and superior rooms, suites, and even a private seven-room villa if you're traveling in a larger group. Families might enjoy the two-bedroom duplex suites with an outdoor bathtub, though many of the rooms can accommodate extra beds upon request (and for an additional fee). Even the standard rooms deliver bright, comfy spaces, large balconies or terraces, and modern bathrooms.

Other Highlights

The outdoor pool is a great place to spend your afternoon before heading to dinner, though you can also laze at the bar or anywhere on the garden terrace. For extra relaxation, order a massage in your room. The restaurant serves a delicious breakfast spread each morning, plus lunch and dinner menus featuring organic and local goods, including some from the hotel's very own garden. Parking is free, and there are charging stations for electric cars.
