We loved this property as it was so full of character and the position next to the station meant we could travel into Malaga and further afield easily without driving and having to park. Don’t worry about the noise as the trains don’t run overnight and the accommodation was so peaceful. We loved the pretty garden and the pool. Olivier was a wonderful host and made us feel very cared for. Every day he had excellent recommendations for where to go etc. And Alora itself was a great little town topped with a pretty castle.

The hosts are very responsive and very nice. The place is spotless and the pool is amazing. If you come by train, the station is right across the hotel but you won’t hear it at night as it stops early. Visit the beautiful city of Alora and perfect stay to visit Caminito del Rey! Would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely hotel and would rate it higher than a 2 star. It was spotlessly clean, open and airy. Good air conditioning. Nice gardens and pool. Felt very homely and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and good choices. With fresh fruit, pancakes bread and meats. Plenty of parking at the property and just around the corner. Was very safe. Staff were great, friendly, hard working and would help with where to dine and activities. Nothing too much bother. Train station very close, giving easy access to surrounding towns and cities. You could walk into Alora but it was very up hill. Or short drive.

Great Stay

We stayed overnight before going to the Caminito del Rey in the morning.The B & B was awesome!! The hosts were great!! We had dinner and drinks out by the pool and it was really, really good. Breakfast in the morning was excellent. We really enjoyed staying here and our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer. Thanks Brad & Kris

Olivier was a wonderful host. He carried my bag upstairs for me! The pool/garden are and patio next to our room were very comfortable places to relax. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious down to the freshly made crepes with himemade compotes. Free parking right next to the house.

A Great Place to Stay

We had a great time here, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for Oliver to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Great choice of food for breakfast and they were happy to make us an omelette when we asked! We ate here on 2 evenings, due to not many local restaurants being open (Sunday and Monday) and the food was very nice. The pool is lovely and much bigger than I was expecting for such a small hotel. Sun beds would benefit from having shade provided by umbrella’s as they didn’t fall into shade until late in the afternoon. Our room was big enough and had an air-con unit which was needed. The hotel provides 4 hours of air-con use daily and you can top this up at a cost of €1 for every additional 4 hours. The bathroom was very clean and modern. We would recommend El Cielo Azul for a lovely, relaxing stay.

We stayed here for a week and had an absolutely exceptional experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the whole building was kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The standout feature was the beautiful garden, full of gorgeous plants with both sunny spots and plenty of shade, along with a very clean and inviting pool that was perfect for cooling off. What really made our stay so special was our wonderful host. He was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond when we had some car issues by ringing around local garages and helping us get everything sorted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local area, from things to do in and around Álora to hidden gems further afield, and his advice really helped us refine our itinerary for the week. On top of that, he was warm, kind and easygoing, which made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived, even when we got there very late at nearly half past one in the morning. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was fantastic. If you do not want to venture into Álora, which also has a great choice of bars and restaurants, this is a perfect option after a long day of travelling. We had a car but it is also really conveniently placed for the train station, so it is ideal for people who do not have a rental for the week. Overall this was a perfect stay with a brilliant mix of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and the most wonderful hospitality. We could not recommend it highly enough
