The house which has a beautiful view was wonderful. The pool was outstanding a great place to relax for a few days, and to explore Zahara de la Sierra. The owners were very responsive to our questions.

Zahara de la Sierra is a great location for an active holiday with opportunity to relax if preferred. Bars and restaurants offer traditional, local produce. Hotel Al Lago was especially good. The town does have the steep hill streets of the traditional white villages.

Zahara is spectacularly situated with absolutely stunning views to the mountains over the reservoir. The village is immaculate and has everything you need, shops and restaurants. I did some local walks, but bear in mind that most accommodation is near the top of a very steep hill, especially Tugasa Arco de la Villa.

Very cute town.
Very cute town. We stayed there for 6 nights and travelled around the region each day by car. Southern Spain is quite large so finding a central location to go everywhere from is difficult. I would recommend Zahara for the western parts (like Ronda, Seville, Cadiz, and Gibraltar), and the move on to an eastern town for the likes of Granada and Cordoba. We did make it Granada for a day trip, but it is a 2.5 hour drive each way. Zahara itself is a nice town in its own right and nice for walking around at night. We didn't go to many restaurants as we cooked most nights, but can highly recommend the pizza place. We were there in summer and it was very hot deep into the night. Make sure you stay in a place with AC if you're staying in summer. It didn't cool down below 35 celsius until after midnight, and was still around 39-40 degrees at sunset (~10pm). One thing to plan for is the very windy narrow mountain roads connecting Zahara and the towns on the south coast (e.g. Estepona). We didn't want to risk it in our SUV rental car after a few close calls with other cars on the road up to Grazalema.

A lovely old village with some very steep hills, I recommend some form of transport for getting around as it is quite a long way to the reservoir. Can't comment on the restaurants as I was self catering.

I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005.
I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005. At the time I thought it was a wonderful village but unfortunately then I had very little time for my visit.
So all those years I dreamed of returning for a quieter and longer stay.
However, Zahara de la Sierra has meanwhile become very touristy. Certainly on the weekend.
That’s why I advise to visit the village on weekdays if you can.
When I was there at the end of May 2022 there were a lot of weekend tourists.

A quaint old house with a lovely view from the patio over the lake. Unfortunately the pool was closed (despite it being 30C every day we were there) and there was a large steep staircase up to the bedroom which we had not been warned about and which my wife found very difficult to negotiate. There was also no WiFi which I think should be standard nowadays. Zaharia is a lovely example of a “white town”. Not the easiest to drive around and you need to be fit to walk up and down the streets. The El Lago restaurant is on the bottom road so easy to access for parking and the food is good.

The room with the view of the lake. What else can we ask for? The spacious bathroom (a liquid soap for hair and body provided) and room. The excellent customer service. The breakfast was also excellent and the hotel's restaurant is highly recommended. Very quite neighborhood - village. VERY easy access to the hotel with a huge parking space. We had a quiet and comfortable stay at Al Lago! PS: for cat lovers, there is one friendly kitten, waiting for you to play! : )
The hotel is ideally situated at the foot of the town. Easy to find and easy to park.
Apartment was immaculately clean.
Very warm welcome from hosts Mona and Stefan.
Evening meals on the terrace were a highlight. Lovely range of choices and every dish of a high quality.
Lots of great walks on the doorstep and a great range of wildlife. watch out for the vultures!
Very cute apartment in the best and prettiest location of Zahara de la Sierra. It's right next to the church on a cute plaza and accessed through a small alley. Apartment has everything (apart from airco) and is very comfortable. Beautiful view from the terrace, and some nice restaurants in the street. Free parking 1 minute away from the apt :)
Authentic Spanish house - just like flying back 7-8 decades in time. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, big enough living room with sofas. We really enjoyed the day we spent there. The neighborhood with the village and its medieval castle worth to see. Also the restaurants nearby with traditional local foods are nice.
Other reviewers have been very enthusiastic about the view over the reservoir from the hotel and I must say that yes, it was really extremely beautiful. It was the main reason I chose this hotel. It's fairly modern and the room and bathroom were large and very clean with a very comfortable bed and a good hot shower.
The building is very well located - right at the centre of Zahara de la Sierra. Very well-equipped kitchen with everything you may need for cooking a meal. The apartment itself is more spacious than the photographs indicate. Stunning views from the (very small) balcony.
amazing splendid breathtaking view, it’s like a desktop wallpaper. host is very nice except that he doesn’t speak English. the property looks like it has a lot of story to tell, pass on generation by generation, from restaurants to hotel. can spot sunset on the balcony
Nice big, cool room with small balcony. Small little an quiet village with a few restaurants in front of the hotel, but when you close the windows no noice from the street anymore!
There is a little fridge in the room.
Super location right in the middle of the central plaza in Zahara de la Sierra. Very friendly and helpful lady to receive you. The habitación is a whole apartment with ample space for 3-4 people
Great location at the bottom of town with free street parking near by.
Very easy process to get in.
Super clean.
there were three bedrooms!
Shower water pressure was great!
super clean hotel in a wonderful location. the owner who spoke little English was incredibly kind and did everything he could to make our stay comfortable.
