This beautiful, comfortable hotel is a perfect place to stay and enjoy the adventure of exploring the surrounding small villages and countryside by foot, bike, or auto.

Charm and character abound in both location and the hosts, Di and John. Much care and thought has gone into the design of this establishment and it is beautifully maintained but above all is Di's cuisine--the presentation and deliciousness rival the best restaurants. The location in one of the highest villages around allows for either total relaxation or nearness to... More

A peaceful place and a delightful stay for our family. We travelled through Andalucia with our two teenage boys and Ronda was our original destination. After overindulging on the sightseeing in Barcelona, Toledo, Seville and Cordoba, we needed a breather. Los Castanos was the perfect place to re-charge our batteries with colorful bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area and top-notch home... More

We spent a wonderful few days at the delightful Hotel Los Castanos, conveniently located in a small village a 15 minute drive to Ronda, through dramatic escarpments and breathtaking views. The hotel is exquisitely decorated, with a welcoming 'home away from home' environment. Our room was quite large and very tastefully decorated. Di and John are very charming hosts. Di... More

A very nice hotel. Di and John are friendly, helpful and charming. The general ambience was excellent, as was the service and the food. Lots of interesting art and artifacts.

We stayed here for two nights in march and enjoyed every minute despite the unpredictable weather.

We ate on both nights and the food was probably the best we had during... More

I love the décor of this hotel where every single detail seem to have been carefully planned. My room was comfortable and spacious with wonderful views over the village of Cartajima. I was travelling alone and wanted to treat myself and spend a quiet and relaxing time over Christmas. The hosts Di and John with their warmth and kindness were... More

From the moment Di opened the door at Los Castenos and greeted us with warmth and English, we felt at home. Di had written ahead to ask if we would like her to cook for us that night and what a treat that was. My partner and I stayed five nights and were reluctant to leave after being looked after... More

Everything was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable, and Di and John were so welcoming and friendly that we felt as if we were staying with friends. Food was absolutely delicious! The walking was excellent... More
