Very unusual and authentic.
Pros:

Great location. A character property. Unfortunately the photos show the large balcony which is actually the restaurant . Which is independent so only useable if you dine at the restaurant.
Definitely an arty influenced place , with many original features.
Could do with a revitalisation. Getting scruffy.
New owners arrived as we were leaving. So probably changes are coming.

Cons:

Getting tired.

A lovely mountain escape
Pros:

La Frucruosa is understate elegance… A lovely historic property, fully updated for creature comforts. We loved the 270° view from our bed! We were warmly greeted and oriented to the in and the town. Sadly, we were there on a Monday and Tuesday when many things are closed, including La Frutuosa’s restaurant, but we loved the breakfast in the morning. The house is decorated with a lot of local art, which is also a treat.

Cons:

Nothing we didn’t like

Beautiful property. The owners made us feel like family. The views were amazing and you must try the restaurant - incredible food in a quirky room that was an old wine press.

Cons:

Nothing

Un lugar muy acogedor. Recomendable 100%
Pros:

Un lugar muy acogedor. Nos encantó la decoración y como mezcla lo antiguo con lo moderno. Cada habitación tiene un tema y su decoración y colores van de acuerdo a ello. Nuestra habitación estaba impecable de limpia y ordenada, así como el cuarto de baño. Recomiendo este lugar para alojarse en Gaucin sin ninguna duda.

No volveria ni lo recomendaria
Pros:

La decoración

Cons:

Pesimo el servicio y trato de pilar, se nota que no le gusta trabajar atendiendo clientes. Finalmente deja una muy mala sensación. Desde la pieza se escucha todo lo que pasa afuera y en las otras habitaciones. No funcionaban los radiadores de la calefacción.

Hotel con encanto con una magnífica localización, pero faltó de mantenimiento.
Pros:

El encanto y la decoración del Hotel, la excelente localización con unas vistas espectaculares, buen desayuno.
El restaurante merece una especial valoración positiva: situado en una preciosa terraza, las mesas bien montadas y con bonita cubertería y Cristalería y por supuesto mención especial a la estupenda comida.

Cons:

Falta de mantenimiento: armarios con las cerraduras rotas, una mejor limpieza, particularmente el inodoro olía mal de una deficiente limpieza, la preciosa terraza merecía estar más limpia y cuidada , al menos en primavera. Las camas no estaban bien hechas, demasiados pequeños objetos de decoración inútiles y que estorban. Personal del hotel (Pilar) poco empático y estresado que no hacía cómodo relacionarse.

A delightful stay in a beautiful old hotel.
Pros:

The Fructuosa is so beautiful and full of charm. The house exudes history, and the staff care for it wonderfully--and they care for you wonderfully as well. The room was spacious and well lit with warm lights, and the bed was perfect. The breakfast is a delight, not only for the delicious food but for the people you might meet there in the cozy dining room. Since Gaucín is not only a very old Spanish village but a place at the frontier of the interior and coastal Spain, it draws people from many parts of the world. We met a Swiss German couple who were traipsing around southern Spain and had interesting stories to share. Our stay was a sheer delight, and we will go back again.

Lovely small hotel in wonderful location. Excellent food and the staff were very friendly, especially Bili.
Pros:

A beautiful small hotel , with a lovely ambience and decorated with empathy to the outstanding location.
The manager, Bili, was an absolute treasure- her attention and help during our stay was superb.
She was front of house, sorted out everything and served an abundant breakfast.
The restaurant was top notch and very reasonably priced.
Views from the roof terrace of Gibraltar and Morocco were amazing.
Highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Gaucin

Cons:

maravillosa estancia
Pros:

Me sorprendió por la amplitud de la habitación, la mezcla de lo antiguo con el funcionamiento perfecto de las instalaciones, baño,... y el restaurante excelente justo debajo.

Cons:

Nada ... por ponerle un pero, aparcar cerca no es sencillo, pero igual aparqué a unos 300 metros tras dar una vuelta al pueblo. Pero realmente, eso no fue ningún problema

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
Pros:

Beautiful, quaint Andalucian hotel in a fantastic location. Very helpful and welcoming staff. The views from the bedroom were stunning and even better from the roof terrace. Comfortable communal living room on the first floor. The outside dining terrace would be beautiful in the summer months.

Cons:

Ideally for me there would have been a kettle to make a drink. However there was a coffee machine.
