蓝天酒店

We stayed at Del Cielo Azul in February, just after the storms had passed through Portugal and Spain. The day we arrived was still a bit stormy, but the next morning the sky was beautifully blue exactly living up to the name. It was a little too cold to use the pool at that time of year, but the setting was still lovely and peaceful. The hotel feels like an old house that has been thoughtfully converted into a small guesthouse. It has a lot of personality and charm — definitely not a generic or chain-style hotel. It’s super quiet, which we really appreciated. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us directions and recommendations for the area, especially for hiking Caminito del Rey, which was one of the main reasons for our visit. The bathroom takes a little time for the hot water to fully heat up, but once it does, the shower is very good and comfortable. The only small improvement I would suggest is providing a bit more shampoo and shower gel the portions were quite small. Breakfast was okay, but dinner was surprisingly excellent. I had the chicken and it was genuinely delicious. There’s also a dog and a cat on the property, they don’t interfere at all, just add to the character of the place. Parking is available at the back of the property, which was convenient. Overall, it’s a charming, quiet, personality-filled stay especially ideal if you’re visiting for hiking in the area.

Olivier made our stay a fantastic experience. He is a great host.

Very welcoming host, space is clean and comfortable. Would happily stay here again.

Siisti, yksilöllinen huone. Erittäin mukava ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Herkullinen aamiainen jossa erilaisia vaihtoehtoja makuelämysten yhdistelyyn. Siisti sisäpiha jossa mukava istua illallakin. Yllätyksenä keittiö oli auki illalla ja pystyi tilaamaan ruokaannoksia sekä juotavaa.

Wir waren für eine Nacht hier, nach einer Wanderung auf dem Caminito del Rey. Die Unterkunft ist landestypisch und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist neu und die Zimmer sind geräumig. Das Frühstück war lecker und man kann draußen im hübsch gestalteten Garten sitzen. Der Ort Arola ist ebenfalls sehenswert. Es ist ein hübsches Bergdorf und liegt in einem schönen grünen Tal. Beim nächsten Mal bleiben wir länger.

Väldigt mysigt och god middag på kvällen. Fin frukost. Lyhört men det gör inget. Finns bara 5 rum. Väldigt trevlig värd

Oliver was super nice host. Room was top notch. Hotel has an amazing picturesque garden with pool. Lots of fruit trees in the garden. We are vegetarian and Oliver made sure to provide a great breakfast for us.

Erinomainen palvelu ja kaikki toimi hienosti. Kaunis talo ja miljöö

This was a lovely hotel and would rate it higher than a 2 star. It was spotlessly clean, open and airy. Good air conditioning. Nice gardens and pool. Felt very homely and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and good choices. With fresh fruit, pancakes bread and meats. Plenty of parking at the property and just around the corner. Was very safe. Staff were great, friendly, hard working and would help with where to dine and activities. Nothing too much bother. Train station very close, giving easy access to surrounding towns and cities. You could walk into Alora but it was very up hill. Or short drive.

Fantastsch verblijf in El Cielo Azul. Gastheer Olivier was de beste gastheer ooit! Het ontbijtbuffet uitgebreid en heerlijke pannenkoeken. Uiterst nette b&b. De omgeving zeer mooi. Wil je naar het centrum van Alora, verwacht je aan een steile korte wandeling. Veel leuke activiteiten in de omgeving.

Lovely couple run this B&B from Belgium, Gave great local advice on where to eat and visit, cooked great food including breakfast. Beautiful historic house by the station but didn't notice the trains which run quietly.

We stayed here for a week and had an absolutely exceptional experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the whole building was kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The standout feature was the beautiful garden, full of gorgeous plants with both sunny spots and plenty of shade, along with a very clean and inviting pool that was perfect for cooling off. What really made our stay so special was our wonderful host. He was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond when we had some car issues by ringing around local garages and helping us get everything sorted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local area, from things to do in and around Álora to hidden gems further afield, and his advice really helped us refine our itinerary for the week. On top of that, he was warm, kind and easygoing, which made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived, even when we got there very late at nearly half past one in the morning. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was fantastic. If you do not want to venture into Álora, which also has a great choice of bars and restaurants, this is a perfect option after a long day of travelling. We had a car but it is also really conveniently placed for the train station, so it is ideal for people who do not have a rental for the week. Overall this was a perfect stay with a brilliant mix of comfort, beautiful surroundings, and the most wonderful hospitality. We could not recommend it highly enough

Molto bella accogliente e ottima per rilassarsi anche in piscina, persona molto gentile e disponibile e mangiare ottimo!

The hosts are very responsive and very nice. The place is spotless and the pool is amazing. If you come by train, the station is right across the hotel but you won’t hear it at night as it stops early. Visit the beautiful city of Alora and perfect stay to visit Caminito del Rey! Would recommend.

The host was amazing. A very relaxing enjoyable stay

Hôtel très sympa, très bon accueil, le propriétaire est belge et parle français. Super petit déjeuner dans le jardin. Piscine très agréable. Je recommande proximité avec le Caminito Del Rey.

Fantastic well priced boutique !

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!

Accueil chaleureux et hote tres disponible. Diner disponible sur place très bon. Petit dejeuner excellent

Owner takes care of everything for you, nice breakfast prepared by him
