Hotel Rural La Marmita de Ahlam

It was exactly what we booked. Rustic, Rural, quiet......Amazing views, very safe, really helpful and attentive staff. The pool was incredible, with views over the mountains, and a lovely breeze. The small village of Benecid and the larger village of Fondon have a few restaurants/bars offering great quality tapas (not tourist food). Great experience.....we will be back one autumn to take advantage of the mountain walks, August was too hot to attempt 27km of mountain trails.

Beautiful place but need to go into it thinking it’s more like an Airbnb. Do Your shopping before you arrive as there is nothing there. The onsite restaurant is amazing but not open often. No breakfast included even though on booking it says it is. You’ll need to buy essentials like milk, coffee, tea, basically everything food wise but it has its own kitchen and fridge freezer and cutlery etc. Amazing views Pool great Waterfall appreciated ! We booked the jacuzzi room and it was lovely. Sleep With shutters closed as you’ll hear every dog and cockerel within miles in the valley. It can be peaceful but not from 04:30!! The air conditioning was welcoming and worked well and was quiet. There’s alot of flies but we bought a huge can of spray to keep them at bay in the apartment. The room doesn’t get cleaned daily but that was fine with us as it didn’t need doing. There is one guy (Jose) who looks after the whole area who speaks no English but very friendly and as helpful as he can be. But I was on WhatsApp with the owner who would relay messages to Jose. If you walk down into the village square (5mins) there is a wonderful kiosk that does great Tapas etc and the locals frequent it nightly which shows how good it is. You’ll need google translate and it is perfectly Spanish speaking only. We went often as the food was wonderful. The prices were extremely low. All in all, we would definitely go back.

Unique location in rural area with novel furnishings in room. Very few alternative places to eat as restaurant only open at weekends.

Our visit was in November, so no pool :-o) We was the only guest in 2 nights stay, but they opened the restaurant just for us for an exellent dinner. It's rural and very beautiful! We will for sure visit again and stay at this hotel.

Realmente las fotos no corresponden con la realidad. Es un sitio tranquilo pero con mucha falta de mantenimiento y limpieza y sin personal al que acudir.
