The hotel is lovely and the owners are friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful and a great place to relax. Breakfast was good quality. The hotel is walking distance from the station, and a good base for hiking and exploring Álora. Food is available in the evening and there is a bar service with a good selection of drinks. We enjoyed our stay and intend to return. Would highly recommend.

Breakfast was delicious wd didn’t need parking. we travelled by train

The very personal touch from the owner, who made breakfast (crepes!) was very nice. Our room for three was very spacious, clean and comfortable. He was v helpful and friendly which we appreciated.

We loved this property as it was so full of character and the position next to the station meant we could travel into Malaga and further afield easily without driving and having to park. Don’t worry about the noise as the trains don’t run overnight and the accommodation was so peaceful. We loved the pretty garden and the pool. Olivier was a wonderful host and made us feel very cared for. Every day he had excellent recommendations for where to go etc. And Alora itself was a great little town topped with a pretty castle.

An incredible property with stacks of original features. Immaculately clean. Olivier was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and great continental selection. Bar selection was good (although we didn’t partake) Garden and pool were lovely too. We would definitely return. Totally recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.

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.

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.
