Arte de Cozina

We decided to visit Antequera after learning about Arte de Cozina. Our stay was lovely and the hospitality was fantastic. We had two amazing meals one full tasting menu with excellent local wine pairings with dinner. Learned a bit about some local dishes and Andalusian spealties. The following night we decided to dine at the tapas bar and again we were treated to some fantastic cusine.

This review is for our dining experience. We have been there to have tapas a few times in the past, and they always deliver a great experience. Wonderful and professional staff take care of your needs and interests. We appreciate that the quality of food is consistent and high. Thank you to all of them. See you again soon.

A lovely stay. The perfect mix of old and new. Very comfortable, very hospitable, very clean. The restaurant and bar are vibrant and serve great wines, beers and beautifully prepared food. Highly recommended!

We have just returned from a fantastic 4 day stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the food absolutely amazing. Incredients are all locally sourced and chosen for their superior flavour. Other reviewers are far more eloquent that I on the standard of the restaurant so I suggest you read some of those. The 5 star ones are all true. Our room was very stylish and clean - amazing for a 2 star hotel. I have just taken one star off because there is a super, lovely looking bathroom but it has no door and is open to the bedroom - maybe we are just too old and prudish but it was disconcerting. We will be returning to the hotel and restaurant - it was a lovely experience - thank you to the family and staff.

Excellent!! The best dining experience I’ve had in Spain - the food, the service, the presentation - the chef is obviously passionate about what she does!

A restaurant worth the trip alone! On our journey back from Granada to Malaga, we stumbled upon this charming little restaurant—and what a delightful surprise it was! Don’t be fooled by the humble exterior; inside, a passionate team has dedicated themselves to reviving centuries-old flavors. The chefs collaborated with a historian to meticulously recreate forgotten recipes dating back 400 years, and the results are nothing short of extraordinary. We were a party of five and shared 3 starters, 3 mains, and 1 dessert, which was more than enough to satisfy our appetites. Every dish was a celebration of authentic Andalusian heritage, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable—extremely courteous and attentive. One waiter, in particular, would smile proudly each time he passed by, clearly passionate about the culinary treasures they serve. It felt like they genuinely take joy in creating memorable moments of happiness for their guests. They also leave you with a copy of the original recipes: a sign of wanting to disseminate culture, rather than just keeping it for themselves. We also enjoyed an excellent white wine—fruity with a subtle oaky touch—that reminded me of some fine Californian wines, yet it was a local gem from the region. The setting added to the magic: we dined in a stunning 16th-century courtyard that instantly brought to mind the riads of Morocco, a beautiful nod to the Arab influence that shaped so much of Spain’s history. Arte de Cozina is truly a place where history, culture, and gastronomy come together. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Andalusian cuisine with a story behind every bite! (I am not eating the rooms because I did not sleep in there)

My wife and I stayed at the Arte de Cozina hotel and wish we stayed there longer! We were welcomed kindly, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, they provided extra blankets despite having a built-in AC/heater unit (we stayed here in the winter) and the common sitting area and hallways were cozy too. The location was great, being right in the city and also 5 minutes walking from a free parking lot. Lastly, we enjoyed a free drink with our tapas at their bar Arte de Tapas because we booked directly through their website and the tapas were really tasty. Recommended stay!

Very good value in updated hotel with central location. The comfortable rooms and friendly service will make you want to come back. Good lighting options, comfortable bed and small extras help make this a great experience. Large Mercadona grocery store across the street.
