Top choice in Málaga Province
Located near the well-signposted Benaoján train station, this British-owned hotel has a stunning setting next to a rushing stream; the main building is a former olive mill. Rooms are set amid pretty gardens and have private terraces or balconies. The restaurant is popular with locals and serves contemporary international cuisine.
Management can provide maps of walks in the area, and the village of Benaoján is nearby (around 15km southwest of Ronda). There's a lovely pool, but there are no TVs.
