Hotel La Fragua I

Las Alpujarras


Behind an original 18th-century facade, this simply styled old-timer has14 modestly-attired rooms in the upper part of the village. Decor is tiled floors and pine furniture, plus occasional terraces and mountain views. Guests can use the pool at the nearby Hotel Fragua II, and the team also runs reliably good attached alpujarreño restaurant Mesón La Fragua.
