This is a one of a kind small hotel that has been beautifully restored and decorated. The accompanying restaurant is superb and both are very reasonably priced. An amazing stay at an amazing price!

Good afternoon. We were surprised to read the rating of 1/5 you gave us on Internet. We never receive ratings that bad. Can you explain us what went wrong since the message you sent us on Sunday “It’s been perfect for a walk and outside lunch. We have had a very short but special stay in your lovely home. We will be back. Thank you. Enjoy France and a Happy new year to you.”

Lovely hotel - and very welcoming.
Posted 5 Dec 2023 on HotelsDaniel and Catherine were very welcoming and made us feel very much at home. Our room was very clean and tastefully furnished. The staff - particularly Pilar - were friendly and extremely helpful. The restaurant was excellent. What more is there to say? 😊

The views from our room were incredible. The history behind the property just adds to its charm.
Parking was a minor challenge. Not having a staff person on site was disappointing.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. Having only 6 rooms makes it economically not viable to have staff on site 24/7. This is why we insist to know the arrival time of our guests ahead of time so that one of us can be on site to welcome them.

This location is a hidden gem just up the mountain from Marbella. We happened to stay on their gastronomic weekend when all restaurants participate in what we would call in the states "restaurant week". Daniel, the manager/owner kept us well informed for our arrival. Staff, Pilar in particular, was wonderful. Very accommodating. The restaurant at the hotel had fabulous food and wonderful breakfast buffet with fresh made croissants. The only issue is parking if you have a car. Spaces near the hotel are very limited and for compact cars. We did find a spot about 3 minutes walk from the hotel. We would go back in a heartbeat to explore the town of Gaucin.

A gift from the Andalusian hotel Gods
Posted 12 Aug 2021 on HotelsAs an ex bbc travel journalist, I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of staying in many hotels around this beautiful planet. I can honestly say La Fructuosa is up there. Small simple yet magical. It truely is a gift from the Andalusian Gods of Gaucin. Everything owners Catherine and Daniel have done during renovations a few years ago has been stylishly and artisticly achieved with a beautiful duvet of love. My one disappointment is that I only got to page 5 of the short Basil Faultyesk book Daniel wrote during lockdown. It’s very funny!! A good reason to go back and finish it. Bravo to the Belgium couple for creating something so special 🙏
