“Pleasant restaurant in the attractive square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

This is a review only of the restaurant, not the hotel accommodation. Canillas de Albaida is a very attractive, somewhat remote, village in the Axarquia region NE of Malaga.

The square, which is pedestrianised, is dominated by the restaurant, the hotel, the ayuntamiento, and an attractive little church (not open very often but worth a look inside if you can). We sat outside in the square, and had a perfectly nice meal, pleasantly served. Prices were fair, including wine. The menu has a few nice little surprises for a village bar/restaurant - places of this kind tend to be very predictable and vary mainly on quality of food and cooking, and service: but here there were a few different dishes, some reflecting the non-Spanish staff, I suspect.

It's better than the three-star 'average' for Trip Advisor, hence the rating, but 'very good' is perhaps a stretch. From our base it was a 70-minute drive and therein lies the real question - was it worth that length of drive. Probably not as there are better restaurants in the Malaga Province. But if you are nearer, then it's definitely worth a visit.

“Great Restaurant”

In the summer you sit in a lovely little square that is edged on one side with a tiny church, the hotel rooms on another and an amazing flower strewn house on the other. In the Winter you sit inside - ask for the top floor where there are stunning views from two full sized windows - one side to the square and the other 650m down over mountain villages to the blue sea. It is magnificent. The menu is interesting with a mixture of local specialities and more cosmopolitan dishes. The wine is excellent and we can never believe how low the bill is given the quality of what we had.

“Great family run hotel! Splendid location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

Great base for our organised walking holiday which included the St Anton festival in January - blessing the animals. Jacuzzi is now enclosed so we made good use of it, the sauna and Turkish steam room, after a days walking.
Not only was the local food excellant, including some wine tasting around the valley, but one of our group went riding with Eva's riding stable in the village can came back saying that was the best horse she had ever ridden.

“Drip,drip,drip.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

Maybe I came across owner Gustavo in a bad mood which lasted all week but he was very very unhelpful indeed. Maybe some rooms have nice views but number 9 certainly doesn't as it overlooks a gloomy courtyard. That would have been tolerable but what was unforgiveable was a continuous drip of water from a gutter into a bucket on the courtyard floor. Despite several polite and tactful requests we had to suffer the noise all week long which made rest and sleep difficult. Just 10 seconds would have fixed the problem. Really appalling behaviour.
In addition if your light bulbs fail forget replacements!! Some mumbled excuse about the right types not being available in the village.
At least the food was good so Gustavo got something right but zero out of ten for customer service

“Lovely Lovely Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

In a square that is pretty as a picture. Gustavo and family are friendly and helpful. Pretty, clean, friendly, food is great. The only problem was that I had to leave. Many thanks to all at the Posada for a great stay.
