A lovely, comfortable hotel with friendly, helpful staff and great food. The perfect get-away retreat surrounded by olive groves and mountains. Highly recommend a junior suite with its own terrace - well worth paying a bit extra. The pool was perfect and very quiet, and relaxing after a jacuzzi on the lawn was idyllic. You do get moved out on a Saturday night to the sister hotel in town if there's a wedding, but this was well organised, even though the other hotel (Antequerra Golf) was far too busy for our liking.
If you want peace and quiet, away from it all, then this is the place to go.

We have stayed in this hotel for just two days and regret we could not stay longer. The hotel is an ancient monastery which has been recently renovated and converted into a hotel, located in an extremely quiet area surrounded by a golf course. You can taste the history of the place enjoying an excellent service at the same time. The town of Antequera is just a few km away. The restaurant is superb, closed by a window with a stunning view on the valley. The food is very good, and the service excellent. I would strongly recommend it.

We stayed at La Magdelena with a group of twelve friends for six days. The rooms and spa facilities were excellent.The rooms were extremely well appointed with excellent complimentaries,robes and slippers. The only downside is that the rooms do not have any tea or coffee facilities as we already knew this most of the group brought travel kettles.
Each evening apart from one we had superb service and food in the stunning panoramic dining room, on the one occassion when the service and food was poor the evening was salvaged by Fredricko who was excellent and even furnished the whole group with complementary cocktails.
We played golf at Antequera and received excellent attention from the professional Karl Adams. The course is not easy but enjoyable and was in good condition. We have played at Antequera golf on four occasions in the last two years and still amazed by the stunning scenery, a word of caution if you play this course is not for walking a buggy is a a must.
Whilst staying this time we visited a national park called Torcal which is a fifteen minute drive from La Magdelena if you take the barrier road outside the hotel for one mile to the mainroad,turn left up to the T junction then turn right and will be marked as Torcal which is a fabulous place to visit.
Breakfast is buffett style on a luxury basis even cavier and champagne if you wish, our very special thanks to Maria our waitress in the mornings she speaks many languages and was a wealth of information for us.
We would most definately recommend staying at this hotel and we ourselves will return again next year.La Magdelena is steeped in history and a beautiful tranquil place.

I stayed only 1 night at the convento la magdalena with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday. It was the perfect choice! A special offer for september meant that our stunning double bedroom, buffet breakfast and spa came to 90 euros for both of us..... which for a 5 star hotel was incredible good value for money.Courteous staff, large, clean and luxurious rooms and bathrooms, a well maintained spa and a stunning breakfast display, I cannot praise this hotel enough. It gave us a chance to experience 5 star accommodation which we normally can't afford! It is quite isolated, so you will need a car to travel to Antequera and there is nothing else around in the immediate vicinity.. but we were quite happy to stay at the hotel and enjoy the spa area and eat at the hotel's restaurant. 10/10 ... !We will return again.
