La Fuente del Sol

We spent two days in the Spanish hills, we just wish it had been longer. The hotel overlooks such beautiful landscape, it was a bit of a drive to get there but La Joya is just down the road and it was a 25 minute drive to Antequerra which has plenty to see. The hotel is so peaceful, we were pleased to get away from busy Malaga. The rooms are beautifully appointed with tea/coffee, robes and good quality toiletries. With the weather being so hot the air con was very welcome. There is an outdoor pool which is clean and surrounded by well maintained gardens. There is a spa, we didnt use it due to time constraints but I am sure it would be as good as the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was delicious and good quality local produce. We ate in the restaurant, the dessert is incredible. Finally, the staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt incredibly welcome. Thank you Anna!

We chose this hotel to celebrate a big anniversary which sadly turned out to be a big mistake. Whilst the hotel itself is nice, it’s quite basic and old fashioned, it could have been a lovely place to celebrate. Because it’s far from the town of Antequera you really have choice but to use the hotel restaurant, which seemed like a good idea. With very limited non meat options (no chicken) we opted for Ratatouille Lasagne. However what we got was a starter or children's sized portion of vegetables neatly shaped. There was no resemblance to lasagne. The hotel explained later that it was their interpretation. The price of €16 each was very poor value and due to language barriers we couldn’t complain until the next day at check out. I asked that the hotel contact us by email which they did 3 days later offering nothing more than a feeble justification. This is just extremely poor customer service and based on that we would neither recommend nor return. Our special occasion was anything but special.

My sister and I had such a perfect two night stay in this little gem of an hotel. Ernesto and Inma were just wonderful with the (many) questions when booking and Ernesto was just fabulously helpful when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. Marie Carmen was just superb on serving us in the restaurant, where the food is absolutely delicious. All other staff were incredibly helpful too and the setting is stunning. We indulged ourselves with a hour in the spa and also a massage too, both were an absolute treat and good value for money too. Would have no hesitation in recommending Fuente del Sol if you like a quiet retreat and would definitely return.
