El Horcajo is a ranch located about 15 minutes from Ronda on curvy roads. The long gravel driveway to ranch was down steep hairpin turns that was pretty scary at night. The basic dated rooms were off of the courtyard. The man at the front desk did not speak any English and our Spanish is limited, so he just showed... More

Have just spent a couple of nights in Hotel El Horcajo, which is situated about 20 mins from Ronda. We were a party of 3 adults and 4 children (aged between 6 and 11) and were using this as a base to explore Ronda and the surrounding countryside. The hotel is/was a farmhouse and guests stay in simple, basic rooms... More

This was our second stay here and we loved it! The accommodation is basic but clean and spacious. The food isn't sophisticated but it's good home cooking at a very reasonable price. We especially liked the oven cooked dishes. I'm going to try to make the courgette bake at home! The pool is well sighted for the evening sun and... More

What a beautiful spot only a short scenic drive from Ronda! Quaint rooms full of charm, a idyllic pool setting (watch out for the falling figs!) and the best food we had on our two week trip through Andalusia. Well worth the drive off the beaten path! More

This is a simple, rustic budget hotel in the middle of nowhere, therefore very quiet. But it is easy to find because it is well sign posted. The staff is very friendly and speak good English. The rooms are clean but sparse, but they have airco; a necessity in the Spanish summer. Unfortunately the rooms lack a fridge and have... More

We stayed her for a few nights to visit Ronda and the Natural Park around Grazelema. The hotel has a pleasant, rustic ambience in a stunning location. It is also very good value for money. It offers very basic, sparsely furnished accommodation (though with air conditioned and good shower). Food is of canteen quality - though prices reflect this (around... More

We stayed here as a break from touring Barcelona and then Cordoba. The location is idyllic and the hotel has so much character. We used it as a base for touring the Sierra De La Grazelama and Ronda areas. Follow the directions given by the hotel and you will have no difficulty finding the El Horcajo but if you contact...

We stayed here for a week, using it as a base to explore Ronda, Grenada, Cadiz, Seville and the Costa del Sol. The hotel is about a mile down a twisting track from a mountain road. Pure bliss. The only sounds are of the birds and little pigs that run around on the land around the hotel. Enjoy perfect peace.... More

Overated, overpriced and very plain, fell short of expectations and our stay was not made any better by poor hospitality. We had a room advertised as bedroom with lounge, more of an area in front of the bed. The toilet smelled as the owner hadn't used syphons in the drainage pipes but obviously realised there was an issue with the... More

Lovely hotel. In the middle of nowhere (you have to like that). You really need a car. It is a bit diffucult to find, but it really can be done. Nice pool. It's inside a nature area, so very nice, nice views More
