TUGASA Hotel Arco de la Villa

Great location. The rooms are small but great view. In our room was something very noisy (buzzing) which was not the AC. Moreover you can hear noise from other rooms and corridor and the kitchen/restaurant above. The reception service war very friendly. The restaurant did not convince us. There is not coziness and the waitress is just doing her job, unemotionally. She seams overloaded, half-hearted. The waiter at the breakfast was Kind but the breakfast has minimum choice and very low quality.

Simply amazing. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed and certainly the most breathtaking view. Helpful staff, top-end linens added to the experience of this cliffside Andalusian white village. The rooms are super clean and have separate verandas facing an incredible vista. While Zahara is small with not much to do other than enjoy its stunning scenery, treat yourself with a stay at this hotel.

When you go to a hotel, there are some things that are uncompromising, cleanliness, value for money and service. The rest is a personal choice. Firstly the location. We went on a holiday weekend and it was difficult to park although there is parking above the hotel and in the town. The hotel does not have dedicated parking. The hotel is at the top of the town and has amazing views of the country and reservoir. Secondly, the hotel is lovely. Not quaint or historic but a feel good place, clean and looks like it's had a recent lick of paint. The room we had was fine and what you expect from a hotel of this category, bed comfortable and everything worked. Lastly, the staff were really helpful and polite. Breakfast basic but good and the restaurant more than adequate for the price. All in all, very happy with our stay.

The most wonderful location in Zahara de la Sierra with every room having stunning views across the lake. The rooms were clean and beds and pillows very comfortable. For me, missing were the tea and coffee making facilities in the bedroom. We had breakfast included which was ok but we had to make coffee with a not great capsule coffee machine despite being right next to the bar serving proper coffee. It felt a bit cheap as we were paying 9€ per person for breakfast. The staff were lovely and can definitely recommend a stay but the above is the reason for 4*

Fantastic panoramic views from the restaurant. |We didn't stay in the hotel, but a local recommended the restaurant for the views of the reservoir - They are breathtaking. |We had lunch from a good selection of Spanish food at reasonable prices. |Recommended for a sit-down meal. Good service from friendly staff without long waits.

Breathtaking views from bedrooms. Superb value. Very comfortable. Recommended.

Perched on the edge of the cliff, this is a perfect place to stay in Zahara, with a lovely view of the azure reservoir and a couple of other hill towns. It's just uphill from the tiny town plaza and in the shadow of the ancient tower on the top of the hill. Our room was large and lovely, with very comfortable beds and a good shower. The restaurant is excellent, the best in Zahara. The staff is friendly and helpful, with good English but also good patience and sense of humor with our attempts at Spanish.

Nice view but very hard to drive there
