The room and bathroom are spacious, fully equipped, light, airy and clean. The decor throughout is modern and new but they have maintained some of the older features. We enjoyed the communal kitchen, lounge, dinning room and patio. The owners Alberto and his wife are so kind and friendly. Alberto told us of great places to eat and visit during our stay. We will surely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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.

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.
A new apartment in zahara de la sierra. we were the first guests there.
Matti the owner of the place is a sweet and smily women. she welcomed us with a smile and good energy.
there is parking outside the apartment.
the apartments are clean and have everything you need, also kitchen, coffee tea and sweets.
the rooms in the second floor are amazing, nice Balcony with a view to the mountains.
we loved it !
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.
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.
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.
Nice big, cool room with small balcony. Small little an quiet village with a few restaurants in front of the hotel, but when you close the windows no noice from the street anymore!
There is a little fridge in the room.
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.
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.
