Our six ensuite rooms are harmonious spaces where our guests are private and exceedingly comfortable. For specific details of the room amenities, please go to The Rooms page.
The hotel has air conditioning throughout for the hotter months and heating for the winter. The open-plan ground floor is a light and airy space. We have a roaring chestnut log fire in the winter, air conditioning in the summer.
Our library is extensive and, in the snug, there is a large selection of games, music and movies, all for you to use and enjoy.
And the piece de resistance? We have been told that we have the best mountain views in the area! From the rooftop terrace, the vistas are mesmerising. Lie on a lounger if you are a sun lover, plunge into the little pool to cool off. In the evening, gaze at the stars (we have a telescope for your use) or relax with a glass of something delicious before dinner.
Our R & R room is a quiet space for massage, meditation, or work out. There is a rowing machine, Yoga and Pilates tapes and DVDs, Dyna Bands and workout routines, aids to meditation. We know several masseurs who we work with. Cartajima has a municipal gym which our guests are welcome to use.

Note for animal lovers and those with allergies: we have resident cats and dogs. The cats prefer to live outside and the dogs are not running around the hotel unless guests ask to meet them!
Los Castaños is located near Ronda in the pueblo blanco of Cartajima, one of the seven villages of the Alto Genal, an unspoiled valley in the Serrania de Ronda where sweet chestnuts, vines and fruits grow. There are walking trails from village to village for which we provide route notes.
Bustling historic Ronda is just 20 minutes drive away, close enough to enjoy its cultural delights, far enough away to escape the tourist crowds. Sevilla, Granada, Cadiz, and Jerez – the romantic cities of Andalucia – are an easy day-trip.
