The house is spacious and was very clean. We used the kitchen to cook some meals and the bathroom was clean and functional. The balcony and outside space was great late in the evening, otherwise it was too hot. There is free parking outside. The host was responsive and met us at the property.

What to say - that was our best apartment we had on this trip. Zahara de la Sierra is a small place and we need a nice place to rest but we found fantastic place to stay. The apartment is great, so tastefully decorated, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, great living room with very big screen tv and fireplace for heating in the winter. Air con was working great, beds and pillows were so comfortable. Everything was so clean. We really loved this place. We parked our car just in front of house patio. Absolute gem of small house. Highly recommended.

Zahara de la Sierra is a great location for an active holiday with opportunity to relax if preferred. Bars and restaurants offer traditional, local produce. Hotel Al Lago was especially good. The town does have the steep hill streets of the traditional white villages.

Zahara is spectacularly situated with absolutely stunning views to the mountains over the reservoir. The village is immaculate and has everything you need, shops and restaurants. I did some local walks, but bear in mind that most accommodation is near the top of a very steep hill, especially Tugasa Arco de la Villa.

Very cute town.
Very cute town. We stayed there for 6 nights and travelled around the region each day by car. Southern Spain is quite large so finding a central location to go everywhere from is difficult. I would recommend Zahara for the western parts (like Ronda, Seville, Cadiz, and Gibraltar), and the move on to an eastern town for the likes of Granada and Cordoba. We did make it Granada for a day trip, but it is a 2.5 hour drive each way. Zahara itself is a nice town in its own right and nice for walking around at night. We didn't go to many restaurants as we cooked most nights, but can highly recommend the pizza place. We were there in summer and it was very hot deep into the night. Make sure you stay in a place with AC if you're staying in summer. It didn't cool down below 35 celsius until after midnight, and was still around 39-40 degrees at sunset (~10pm). One thing to plan for is the very windy narrow mountain roads connecting Zahara and the towns on the south coast (e.g. Estepona). We didn't want to risk it in our SUV rental car after a few close calls with other cars on the road up to Grazalema.

A lovely old village with some very steep hills, I recommend some form of transport for getting around as it is quite a long way to the reservoir. Can't comment on the restaurants as I was self catering.

I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005.
I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005. At the time I thought it was a wonderful village but unfortunately then I had very little time for my visit.
So all those years I dreamed of returning for a quieter and longer stay.
However, Zahara de la Sierra has meanwhile become very touristy. Certainly on the weekend.
That’s why I advise to visit the village on weekdays if you can.
When I was there at the end of May 2022 there were a lot of weekend tourists.

A quaint old house with a lovely view from the patio over the lake. Unfortunately the pool was closed (despite it being 30C every day we were there) and there was a large steep staircase up to the bedroom which we had not been warned about and which my wife found very difficult to negotiate. There was also no WiFi which I think should be standard nowadays. Zaharia is a lovely example of a “white town”. Not the easiest to drive around and you need to be fit to walk up and down the streets. The El Lago restaurant is on the bottom road so easy to access for parking and the food is good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at Al Lago. Stephan, Mona and the staff were very helpful and obliging. Our room was comfortable. We had dinner at the restaurant and it didn’t disappoint, very good food and wonderful service. The breakfast included in the price was great too. Location was good and we were easily able to park our car in front of the hotel.
Very cute apartment in the best and prettiest location of Zahara de la Sierra. It's right next to the church on a cute plaza and accessed through a small alley. Apartment has everything (apart from airco) and is very comfortable. Beautiful view from the terrace, and some nice restaurants in the street. Free parking 1 minute away from the apt :)
Authentic Spanish house - just like flying back 7-8 decades in time. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, big enough living room with sofas. We really enjoyed the day we spent there. The neighborhood with the village and its medieval castle worth to see. Also the restaurants nearby with traditional local foods are nice.
Apartment is amazing. Large and spacious with stunning views from the living area. Bedrooms and bathroom are well fitted. Hotel Al Lago and Restaurant Meson Onate are both good for food and drinks. The walk to the very top of the castle is worth the effort. Good to have private parking included with the apartment.
We were a group of four in Zahara de la Sierra for one night to watch a professional bike race. Casa Atardecer was perfect. It was a 5 min walk from restaurants and the bike race. Parking was easy. We asked for and received a late check-out of 2 pm.
The view from the hotel room is the highlight. The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel is well accessible, with a parking spot nearby. All in all, a great hotel for a one or two-day stay in Zahara.
Super location right in the middle of the central plaza in Zahara de la Sierra. Very friendly and helpful lady to receive you. The habitación is a whole apartment with ample space for 3-4 people
Great location at the bottom of town with free street parking near by.
Very easy process to get in.
Super clean.
there were three bedrooms!
Shower water pressure was great!
