Hotel Montelirio, Ronda

Authenticity

Hotel Montelirio reinvented a historic home sitting atop the cliffs of El Tajo Gorge. The historical decor of a traditional Andalusian home paired with the views of Puente Nuevo and the gorge is unmatched in the city.

Location

Enjoy staying in the oldest part of Ronda, which features charming streets and narrow passages. You'll be around the corner from Puente Nuevo, and down the road is where the El Tajo Gorge walking trail starts. Other attractions within walking distance include Puente Viejo, the Mirador de Los Viajeros Románticos, the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda, and Alameda del Tajo park with its Mirador de Ronda.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel offers standard and superior rooms, plus suites. Because the hotel occupies a historic home, all rooms vary in design and decor, some being brighter and more stylish than others. Some have darker color combos and outdated bedding, whereas others feel fresh with a charming vintage vibe. Opt for a room with a balcony to enjoy the hotel's famous views.

Other Highlights

The onsite restaurant is a bit meat-heavy, though tasty for non-vegetarians, and offers incredible views of the gorge. Because it's so popular and open to the public, snag a reservation early, especially if you want to dine on the terrace. Because of its location, you can't park onsite, though the hotel has a designated loading zone and can arrange nearby public parking. The cozy lounge and plunge pool are great places to relax.
