Hotel Molino del Arco

Overall, our stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The rooms were clean, the location was great, and most of the people staff were friendly and professional. However, unfortunately, one experience negatively affected the overall impression of our visit. One of the staff members serving breakfast responded to our polite questions in a very passive-aggressive and dismissive manner, repeatedly saying “One moment, please” with a visibly irritated attitude. It was disappointing and made us feel uncomfortable. Such behavior really took away from the otherwise enjoyable experience we had at your hotel. I strongly believe that proper training in customer service, especially in how to approach guests with kindness and a welcoming attitude, would make a significant difference. Thank you for your hospitality overall, but I hope you consider improving this aspect for future guests.

Beautiful hotel located in a remote area about 15 minutes from Ronda so car required really. Family owned this is an olive oil mill which still operates. The grounds are lovely to walk around. We were slightly disappointed as my wife chose it because of the pool, so we could relax after quite a full on road trip. The pool was empty, no sun beds even. An honesty bar operated in the lounge. Eat in restaurant one evening and the food was very good

Amazing hotel with great food. Sun beds by the pool are a bit tired and need replacing.

Hotel Molino del Arco is a 15-minute drive north of Ronda. You'll need a car and GPS to get there. Leaving the main road, you'll take a narrow, sometimes unpaved road. The hotel is set in the countryside, with beautiful views over the valley and mountains. It is a converted almazara, an olive oil mill. The Spanish word almazara comes from the Arabic al-mas'sara, meaning to extract. Centuries-old olive trees and vines surround the hotel building. The family that owns the hotel still produces olive oil. The accommodation is modern, comfortable and tastefully decorated, built hacienda style around a beautiful inner courtyard. We had two connecting double rooms. There's a large swimming pool for an afternoon dip after visiting touristy Ronda. The hotel has a large shady garden. We made friends with a young black cat adopted by the hotel, called Oreo. All the staff were friendly and professional. The multilingual reception staff were warm and friendly, offering service in English, French and Spanish, of course. Breakfast is excellent and the hotel serves Spanish cuisine for dinner, which is rare in hotels these days, if you don't want to drive at night to Ronda. Molino del Arco comes highly recommended. Don't rush your stay at this lovely place, try to spend at least three nights to enjoy a quiet break from the hectic life. And they have reliable Wi-Fi too.

A stunning hotel with magnificent gardens and an outstanding staff. Dinner was Cordon Bleu quality. If you have a car, this is the place to stay. Ronda is about 15 minutes drive.
