El Cielo Azul

The very personal touch from the owner, who made breakfast (crepes!) was very nice. Our room for three was very spacious, clean and comfortable. He was v helpful and friendly which we appreciated.

An incredible property with stacks of original features. Immaculately clean. Olivier was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and great continental selection. Bar selection was good (although we didn’t partake) Garden and pool were lovely too. We would definitely return. Totally recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We stayed at Del Cielo Azul in February, just after the storms had passed through Portugal and Spain. The day we arrived was still a bit stormy, but the next morning the sky was beautifully blue exactly living up to the name. It was a little too cold to use the pool at that time of year, but the setting was still lovely and peaceful. The hotel feels like an old house that has been thoughtfully converted into a small guesthouse. It has a lot of personality and charm — definitely not a generic or chain-style hotel. It’s super quiet, which we really appreciated. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us directions and recommendations for the area, especially for hiking Caminito del Rey, which was one of the main reasons for our visit. The bathroom takes a little time for the hot water to fully heat up, but once it does, the shower is very good and comfortable. The only small improvement I would suggest is providing a bit more shampoo and shower gel the portions were quite small. Breakfast was okay, but dinner was surprisingly excellent. I had the chicken and it was genuinely delicious. There’s also a dog and a cat on the property, they don’t interfere at all, just add to the character of the place. Parking is available at the back of the property, which was convenient. Overall, it’s a charming, quiet, personality-filled stay especially ideal if you’re visiting for hiking in the area.

Very helpful staff, and the room was very beautiful and unique! Location is great due to proximity to train station, very easy to get to and from the hotel to Malaga center but also calm because the train schedule is not very frequent. Breakfast was excellent and the garden and swimming pool were well maintained and beautiful. Overall a great spot to stay!
