We stayed here earlier this summer and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Lovely quaint villa, located on a citrus farm, it had everything we needed for our family holiday.
Our Spanish was limited but our hosts went out of their way to make sure there were English speakers there at check-in which was incredibly kind & thoughtful.
The villa itself was ideal - the pool was amazing and ideal for our 6 year old. There were noodles & inflatables already there which was perfect. We were initially worried about shade around the pool from the pictures, but there was loads of good shade throughout the day and movable umbrellas invade required in the pool.
The three bedrooms all have aircon and although the main living area of the house doesn’t, don’t let that put you off as the downstairs of the house remained cool even in 40oC plus heat. As someone else has also noted, the beds are either single or double, so little snug, but as there are multiple beds in each room, my wife and I just pushed two single beds together and used that.
Kitchen ideal with everything you need and there’s also an outdoor cooking area with a gas grill, pizza oven & wood paella cooking area.
Alora itself is lovely - extremely tight roads so if you hire a car, I’d recommend paying extra insurance ha. A lot more holiday shops than we first thought, so explore the town by foot a little and you’ll be suprised what you’ll find that might be useful. Aside from Mercadona (supermarket), there are loads of smaller ones too. There’s one British bar (Maria’s) and even a British shop - that said, the local Spanish eateries are amazing. It’s located about an hour from Ronda, 1:45hr from Granada, 40mins from Malaga and 50mins from Marbella.
Would highly recommend a stay in Alora, lovely house, lovely hosts and a memorable holiday.
