The house which has a beautiful view was wonderful. The pool was outstanding a great place to relax for a few days, and to explore Zahara de la Sierra. The owners were very responsive to our questions.
I stayed for a week which is longer than usual. It helped that it coincided with Corpus Cristi, a 4 day event with Zaharan customes (but also with a lot of noise!). In normal circumstances I could easily stay for 4-5days alone or a bit longer with friends.There are the ruins of a castle with the village constructed steeply upwards, with an (artificial) lake below - quite spectacular. But you have to be prepared to face streets that either go up or down, and never level!

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.

The room with the view of the lake. What else can we ask for? The spacious bathroom (a liquid soap for hair and body provided) and room. The excellent customer service. The breakfast was also excellent and the hotel's restaurant is highly recommended. Very quite neighborhood - village. VERY easy access to the hotel with a huge parking space. We had a quiet and comfortable stay at Al Lago! PS: for cat lovers, there is one friendly kitten, waiting for you to play! : )
A nice and convenient apartment at the heart of the most beautiful white village in Sierra de Grazalema. Perfect as a base for car exploring of the region (even to Ronda) and to walk everywhere in Zahara de la Sierra itself. We were only two but the apartment could easily fit more. No issues with cold close to new years, didn't even need the fireplace or heating. The hosts were nice and helpful, available easily for our arrival and departure. Absolutely worth the price
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.
Other reviewers have been very enthusiastic about the view over the reservoir from the hotel and I must say that yes, it was really extremely beautiful. It was the main reason I chose this hotel. It's fairly modern and the room and bathroom were large and very clean with a very comfortable bed and a good hot shower.
We have stayed here before and like the location to all of the restaurants and the ease of parking nearby. Our room was quite large and had a nice balcony and street view. The manager is very helpful and though we didn't eat or drink there, it is convenient to have the bar and breakfast available.
The building is very well located - right at the centre of Zahara de la Sierra. Very well-equipped kitchen with everything you may need for cooking a meal. The apartment itself is more spacious than the photographs indicate. Stunning views from the (very small) balcony.
I arrived by Cycle in a rain storm, and the Manager was very welcoming and helpful, despite being so wet. The Hotel is right in town, so easy to walk around Zahara and see the Castle and take in the views. Nice breakfast.
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!
super clean hotel in a wonderful location. the owner who spoke little English was incredibly kind and did everything he could to make our stay comfortable.
