Book Santa Cruz del Comercio hotels

Weekend break for a big birthday and everything was perfect Last visit was 10 years previous and same excellent high standard now as it was then.

Very nice hotel with stunning views. A little gem hidden in the mountain.

Beautiful view and friendly staff

The room, hotel and surrounds was fabulous. Food was good but needs a bit more variety. Staff friendly and helpful.

Vréneli, Ruud, Estrella and Estela couldn’t have been better hosts. This is a fabulous space to relax in mountains of Andalusia, after an hour or so driving from Málaga airport. We hired a car from the airport and were glad to have chosen an automatic with a little more power than the average entry level rental car. The drive is fairly straightforward from Málaga Airport. By all accounts there are some amazing hikes, although the purpose of our trip was to switch off and relax as much as possible, and we had no intention of doing anything active. It’s tough to beat a delightful breakfast, freshly prepared and beautifully presented by Estela or Estrella, either looking towards La Maroma (the highest peak of the Sierra de Tejeda) or, from the other side of the table, down the valley to the Mediterranean Sea. Made better still with quality coffee, (and Cava’s always an option). Both Estrella and Estela were very patient with our extremely rudimentary Spanish conversations and have great local knowledge. Estrella very kindly made dinner reservations for us each night at different restaurants around Cómpeta, a short drive away. Our favourites were El Cortico Paco and for accommodating dietary requirements, the staff at El Pámpano were particularly helpful. We have already recommended Málaga Hills to friends and colleagues since returning home.

Fabulous location, very kind, friendly and talented hosts. Rooms were perfect and cool, very cosy with comfortable beds.
