Molino de Arco is located in the middle of nowhere, but that is what gives this hotel his excelence. Don't worry about not finding the hotel. Drive from Ronda to Seville and at the kilometer indication '26' you go right and then the one road takes you to the hotel. Not difficult at all !
We only spent here 1 night and that was not enough ! The location is superb, only 15 minutes by car, from the city of Ronda. The hotel has a very nice pool at the end of a great garden. The view from the pool over the city of Ronda is marvelous.
Our room (nr 15) had a nice size, we stayed here with the 3 of us. The TV was a bit small, but we had no time to watch tv anyway ;-). The honesty bar was very nice, with all the drinks you could imagine and also cake and cookies. The only internet in the hotel was on the hotel laptop, but more than enough for us. We stayed in the hotel for dinner . There was not much to choose from. But it was Spanish, good food, maybe the portions were a bit too small (?). The outdoor kitchen and terras gave us the Spanish feeling we were looking for. Breakfast was outstanding and very Spanish again.
The lady at the desk was very helpfull and gave us a map from Ronda and perfect instructions concerning parking location and places to visit in the city centre. This hotel was the perfect start for our vacation in Andalusië.

Molino del Arco could have all the caracteritics to be an excellent hotel...Great location, in the country side close to the beautiful city of Ronda, nice facilities, nice size of the room...
If only the level of services would have been a little bit more adequate..not what is expected for a 4 star hotel...
Twin bed, where we asked for queen or king bed, nice but not charming room (we had chosen a suite..a bit disapointed), the personal not really helpfull (especially at the breakfast when you had to ask several time the same question, just to ask for a napkin, of a clean glass..)
the swimming pool area is quite and nice...
Bottom line, this hotel is good but does't hve this litlle plus that could make it fantastic...If I go back to ronda area, I would choose another hotel.

This place is oozing character and history - the story behind the old farm's transformation to this gem of a rural hotel is fab. There's a real feel of self-sufficiency here, as you drive up to the property you're surrounded by walnut and almond trees, whilst the owners lovingly grow a variety of fruits and vegetables on their landscaped land. We didn't eat any food during our overnight stay, however after engaging in conversation (and seeing the freshly grown product in the grounds!), we soon realised this could be a real foodie gem!

The property has been renovated in sympathetic manner, and as you'd expect from a converted farm, each outhouse takes on it's own style, whilst each room has it's own personality (our room was serenely quiet and extremely comfortable!). There are a variety of comfortable public spaces which you are free to use without feeling the usual pressures of needing to purchase food or drink in order to sit! The 'Honesty Bar' facility is a refreshing concept, no time is wasted waiting to be served, you simply help yourself to any drink (there's a huge selection, and the coffee is great!) and make a note of what you had.

In our experience, there was always a member of staff on hand at the informal front desk to give advise and recommendations, and unless we made an enquiry, we were left to our own devises - this was a really nice touch, giving us the feeling of independence and privacy in what was to become our home for the night!

There were a few small details, which, if paid attention too would make this hotel an excellent stay (there was enough room in the pool area to add a few more beds without impacting on privacy between guests; printed paper signs stuck with Bluetac in the terrace area looked out of place; no honesty bar around the pool made it a trek to get refreshments), however if you're an independent traveler with an interest in the owners journey from making their home into a rural retreat, and appreciate privacy, you'll simply love this hotel.

Lost in the middle of nowhere, but yet only 12 minutes from Ronda, the hotel is very quiet. Rooms are comfortable, the only missing equipment is a mini-bar. It is replaced but a bar where you serve yourself and write down on a log book your consumption.
The swimming pool and solarium is very nice. The restaurant serves nice food (limited menu, but good quality - try the paella, advance reservation required!).
