Hotel La Fuente Del Sol

The name 'country hotel' is suitable, as it is very isolated in the countryside, as it can be rural hardly. Here you can probably only "lost" because of its proximity to the nature park of El Torcal. The hotel is so rather only for people seeking absolute peace or for Rundreisende as we did. Immediately around the hotel grounds there are only fields and lands, fortunately, that is not near what could cause noise. The hotel is located on a hill above the town, with a fantastic 360 -degree view in the countryside. The hotel has already Antequera signposted, even in the village of La Joya there were several times see signs for the hotel, so you could get lost. If you coming from the north, take Antequera passed, runs a first extensive non asphalted road toward La Joya, although this very Schlaglochreich ... made up for it the grandiose scenery, that a during the endless highpoint Driving directions offers, a flock midst was nothing rare. During our stay in early June was on a segment this road coating surfaced, so we had to take a small detour, it should be ready but now. As an overnight stay for Rundreisende the hotel is absolutely ok, but you should consider when nights with longer than a night keep in mind that the nearest restaurant at least 20 km away, Antequera. In the small village of La Joya we saw while driving through no restaurant, but not specifically, the town a bit zersiedelt looking for. Whether restaurants in the closer place Villanueva were, I don't know. If the price-intensive menu in the hotel (more information for gastronomy) but don't mind driving the evening after dinner. As mentioned above, the hotel offers the ideal location to El Torcal Antequera or the reservoirs of Guadalhorce to explore. The shortest way (about Villanueva) to the Visitor's Center and parking El Torcal is 23 km from the hotel. The nearest petrol and shopping possibilities were in Antequera. The distance from Córdoba is 130 km, we have (without stops) 1 hour 45 minutes.

Check in at the hotel is from 12.00 hours, check out from 07.00 to 12.00. The staff was always very friendly. At the reception they only spoke English. The mobile phone reception is good.

We had only booked bed and breakfast. If you only this type of board claim queue to dinner reluctantly related to the extensive prices of the menu (p. below) put up with this, but in the evening or searching for a restaurant (see location/area). The restaurant is very clean and attractive rustic-style decor. The breakfast buffet (09.00 - 11.00 hours) was in my opinion it was definately that of a 4 -star hotel. Everything was always very fresh and delicious and nicely arranged. There was died. rolls u. died. Super delicious cakes and pastries (as from the famous confectioners), died. Cereal, yogurt, cheese, sausage, ham, jam, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc. , the coffee tasted very good. There is also a breakfast terrace. The menu for the dinner consists of many different starters, main and dessert, whereas you between each 4 fish and 4 meat dishes. All meals brought fresh and are gourmet food served. The food we had was delicious. The prices of the main courses are located between 16 - 21€, desserts around 6 euros, a local beer á 0.33 liters costs 2.50 euros, sangria 1,0 l cost about 15 , - €. The menu was only in Spanish and English, the service was very friendly.

The hotel has a tennis court and a about 6 -by-14 -foot swimming pool, we didn't use, but very clean. Beach chairs, umbrellas and showers are available on site, pool towels were available at the front desk. There is also a small indoor pool. The hotel offers hiking and demand as well as (information at the reception), but we didn't use. There is no entertainment evening entertainment.

We had a standard double room (non-smoking) in the 1 . OG, it was about 23 square meters in size and very spacious. In the room was the bathroom spatially separated. The room was in relation to the room size a relatively small window which made the room seemed a little dark. Also the window was typical gated, it was shutters or an extra blinds darkening shades. The furniture in the room is rustic, which we loved. Our room had following features - Rustic tiled floors, wood-beamed ceiling, large double bed (180 x 200 cm) with nice firm mattresses and pillows in 2 died. sizes, very large closet (with lighting), small desk, telephone, satellite-TV with 3 German channels, ZDFneo, Kika), minibar, safe, Garderobenhaken. The air conditioning is integrated in the floor and works in the entire hotel through the heated. This variant of cooling for also new to us, but it worked. Unfortunately the room was lacking seating area available. There were absolutely apart from the small desk no additional tables or similar., where you put little things. Also the bathroom fixtures is very attractive and rural. The bathroom (no window) was very spacious and equipped as follows: shower-bath with a glass division, toilet, bidet, hair dryer, bathrobes and slippers, shower gel and shampoo in bottles. Unfortunately, there wasn't a make-up mirror. Except for the sink there were none extra space. The wash basin is a power outlet. smelled very fresh towels and bathrobes. The rooms/water cleaning was ok.

Interesting spots in the environment: bullring in Antequera, El Torcal, reservoirs of Guadalhorce, El Chorro and the gorge Garganta del Chorro. We booked this hotel as part of our Andalusia tour, it was booked in the way of location at the most remote. More of this tour I rated hotels: See my profile.
