Amazing, would 10/10 go out of my way to stay here again. I have to say, I was skeptical of the 10/10 reviews, but the site lived up to the reviews. The host was so nice and went out of his way to help.

Lovely B&B beautiful building with a cosy atmosphere. Room delightful with comfy beds and great linen. Bathroom and shower adequate. Great breakfast in the pretty flowered garden and evening meal was tasty with a good choice. Only negative points was that it is next to a railway line, but there was no trains in the night to bother us, and the owners have a German shepherd that barked and made me uneasy….. but I don’t like dogs, and they did offer to remove it …. But it is her home ! All in all a lovely stay and very friendly and obliging owners …. Would recommend!

Beautiful place nestled at the base of Alóra very convenient for access to El Chorro and Málaga. Owner Olivier was very helpful. Breakfasts were lovely, and the garden/pool a refreshing oasis.

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

Wonderful, very friendly and attentive owners. Our room overlooked a train station - but it was not a bother and sort of charming in its own way. The family room was big, comfortable and clean. We felt really welcomed and looked after. The breakfast was a nice treat.

Wonderful!

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.

This hotel is delightful! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about this hotel. It is charming, spotlessly clean and the breakfast was superb. We enjoyed a night cap from the bar in front of a warm stove in the living room . The weather was cold this January so every comfort was provided. Olivier, the owner looked after us very well and we will definitely return. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the train station and there is a bus nearby which takes you to town centre in 5 minutes. It is also possible to walk up to visit the Arab Castle from the hotel. A steep walk but worth it! I cannot recommend El Cielo Azul highly enough. Be sure to stay there if you’re visiting Alora .

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.

최고의 조식

예상 외로 아침 조식이 너무 맛있었어요. 그리고 침대가 편안했어요. 길이 좁아서 운전에 주의가 필요해요. 무료 조식과 무료 주차는 내게 필요하고 적합한 최고의 호텔 옵션이었어요.
