The location of the Hotel is stunning and the staff were very pleasant. I had the biggest and the best steak on my stay in Spain. It was yummy. The village of Zahara is spectacular, just a pity you can't swim in the lake.

Superb apartment - spacious, airy and with beautiful fittings and a terrace off the bedroom with great views to the mountains. We had the upper apartment and it was perfect for 2 people but there was a mezzanine area with a bed settee which would work for a another couple/children at a push. Nice little kitchen and shower room and an additional sofa area too. There is a nice plunge pool at the rear of the property and coffee and tea were available in the communal area at the entrance. Easy free parking on the main road across from the property 2 minutes away and next to the El Cortijo de Zahara restaurant. Can't rate this apartment highly enough.

Wow!! This is probably one of the best apartments we've stayed in. Recently renovated to a high standard, it was comfy and clean with all the amenities you could need including tea and coffee.
- Comfy beds
- Central to the town, a short walk to viewpoints and bars/restaurants
- Free parking 3 mins walk, or paid carpark next to it
- Beautifully decorated, seriously this place is stunning
- Easy checkin with lockbox
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.

Los Estribos gave you exactly what was described. The owner was there to meet us at the expected arrival time. The room was Ok, and the view was exceptional. There was a type of cooker avaialble but we decided not to use it and ate out each night. Definitely value for money. We parked just passed the hotel on the first night, but this was busy, and we used the village free car park the next night. Stunning location
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.
The apartment and the views. The rooms were comfy and the village is marvellous. Highly recommended. The host is quite nice and there is a restaurant in the hotel just by the door.
