Penzion Los Pilares De Ronda

Very poor restuarant service. We arrived in the evening and had to go into Ronda to find somewhere to eat. As the hotel restaurant was closed. There was no choice of menu at lunch time but the charge for a very meagre meal which seemed to be prepared by the chambermaid for the farm workers was 20 euros each! Also - beware the wasps!

Very nice location, very charmingly decorated rooms with a good touch for design. Excellent shower, very romantic. Also nice - all the animals that are walking around on the property.

No comfortable chairs in front of the house, no refrigerator in the room and at the same time a can of coke can be bought for €2! euro. Which I regard absolutelty ridicilous. Lower the prices, and the drinks will actually sell!

The setting. Pics don't give justice to the beauty of the place. The girls who do everything around, sorry I don't remember their names, are friendly, courteous and very helpful. The food is fresh and prepared just for you. We wanted a place to stay near Ronda, and found a destination on itself, not wanting to leave just to enjoy the setting. If ever back in the vicinity of Ronda, this casa rural will certainly be part of the itinerary. Best Regards, Carlos and family. (Arg)

The farmhouse and converted outbuildings were very historic and maitained very neatly. Our kids loved all the farm animals (chickens, ducks, roosters, rabbits) that roamed freely on the property. Swimming pool was cool and very refreshing after a hot day in the heat of Ronda. Property is very secure and a short distance (6 km or so) from Ronda. Breakfasts are good and farmhouse style cooking is available. Owner and staff were all very pleasant. Would go back again.

Only has spanish satellite tv so not good for english speaking kids or adults who want to catch up news. WiFi signal strength was very poor and only available in the eating area (nothing in the rooms).

Good rooms,friendly staff,the view,the animals,the horses were amazing, good weather and good breakfast.We recomended

The pastoral setting with the animals and wildlife freely roaming within the estate was very peaceful. The swimming pools were idyllic.

The accommodation as described on the website and what we actually received did not match up. It was very basic with no outdoor seating /patio area which we anticipated from the booking. As a result we were disappointed with the accommodation and would not have booked it had we known. Also while the hostesses were very pleasant there was no english spoken which led to considerable confusion over any activities we wished to participate in.

Great rural location, lovely setting, well designed for families with pools, animals etc.

Room not ready until after 5pm which makes it very late. Apparently our booked apartment had toilet problems, so got smaller family room. Staff speaks very little English or French/German, so communication about this issue difficult. Breakfast booked for 8.30am as we needed to leave but finaly ready for us after 9am. Road to property rather rough (pleased to be in a rental car!). Without these issues, would have been a good stay.

Lovely environment. Just 5-10 minutes driving to Ronda city center. Friendly staff. Good and clean room with a fine bathroom

The breakfast could use some more variety for 6€

Peace and quiet. The pool, hearing the sound of birds singing and insects buzzing by. Waking up to the sound of birds singing and horses neighing.

Only breakfast was provided (at an extra cost). We would have liked to eat in on at least one of the nights. However, there are plenty of ventas within easy reach by car so no problem!

Casa Rural Los Pastores was a great place for us to stay. It is situated less than 5 minutes drive from Ronda but is sat in beautiful grounds with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The staff were friendly, very helpful and our room was clean and well presented. It served us as the perfect place to have relaxing evenings after wandering around Ronda during the day.

Nice surrounding and countryside.

The hotel staff insisted on paying the total costs or part of the costs in cash for a reason that I could not understand. In reality there was not the slightest problem with the telephone connection. Also the price of meals (home made but really simple food and of whatever they can found in their fridge) is extremely exaggerated, and as for the dinner no pricelist as available in advance. This is not an honest way to receive guests.

The environment and the cosiness

Price of supper was way to high. Supper was very poor

The room was very nice and homely. The staff were also very helpful and made sure our stay was pleasant.

Probably best if you come here with a car rather than trying to walk into town. The distance to town is not that great (5km or so) but the first part of the road is part othe highway and difficult to walk along for fear of oncoming trucks. This is by no means a comment on the hotel or its location, simply a note identifying that it is best to stay at this place if you are driving and not just backpacking.

The surrounding area is stunning. They have converted an old farmhouse/ ranch into a stunning guest house. All the rooms are individual and beautifully decorated, in-keeping with the outback/ countryside theme. There is a fireplace in the room and you receive a free basket of logs on your first night. Lovely pool and a great place to stay in short distance to Ronda.

Beautiful, modern well decorated room on a nice horse farm. Beautiful breakfast/dining room and bar. You have to fill in the form for breakfast every day. Nice to have a day at the pool. Not far from Ronda. City is small an not as spectacular as everybody says :-(

Smell from the bathroom's sink, so keep the door from the bathroom closed at night. Nobody spoke English, so we could not ask if it was still possible to have dinner (no adverts anywhere) or do the horse back riding (we didn't made a reservation in advance). Although, the staff is very friendly and tries to help as much as they can :-) . A lot of flies, but that's normal in Andalucia in September. Poor route description: from Ronda you have to take the road to Algaciras, this is the A369, a little bit further down the road than camping El Sur.
