Hotel Montelirio

Ronda


Hugging El Tajo gorge, the Montelirio has magical views. The converted palacio has been sensitively refurbished and rooms are sumptuous. The lounge has retained its gorgeous Mudéjar ceiling and opens onto a terrace complete with plunge pool. The on-site Restaurante Albacara is similarly excellent.
