We stayed for two nights and were more than happy and will definitely go back sometime. What made the stay so nice was the welcome we received and of course the amazing food. We were blessed with fantastic weather so took both dinners on the terrace overlooking the lake. The menu is very varied with specials added and everything was... More

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends, elegant dining room, good menu and lovely terrace with views for coffee after lunch. Would definitely return when next in Zahara.

Al Lago was wonderful in every way. Lovely location. Lovely room overlooking the reservoir. Very accommodating and concerned staff, wanting guests to have a positive experience in every way. The dinners prepared by Stefan were delicious. This was a great place to return to after a day of walking.

So if you are deliberating which Pueblo Blanco to stay overnight in, you HAVE to choose Zahara and you HAVE to stay at Al Lago, a treasure of a small inn run by the delightful Mona and her chef partner Stefan. The setting is just beautiful over an overlook of the reservoir and sits at the foot of Zahara, which... More

Hotel Al Lago is a modern, family-run hotel (restaurant-with-rooms) in Zahara de la Sierria, on the edge of the Grazalema National Park, in the Cadiz region of Andalucia. We stopped off for 2 nights in late March 2011, after spending most of our week-long holiday in nearby Ronda. We loved the more relaxed atmosphere at Al Lago, compared with the... More

We enjoyed our 5 night stay very much! The staff was more than friendly and helpfull. The first day we ordered the tasting menu which was delicious and carefully prepared by the owner Stefan. The rooms were classy decorated by his wife, Mona We would certainly book here again when we visit this lovely region!

After first discovering Al Lago a few years ago (before the hotel was opened) we find ourselves returning several times a year. Sometimes wth the family, sometimes with friends and lately to celebrate my birthday. Mona and Stefan and their staff have never disappointed us. Not only are then open and friendly doing all they can to make you feel... More

I have to say I was disappointed. The couple running the hotel make much of their sourcing of ingredients and the quality of the kitchen. Our recent stay of one night was nothing special and expensive compared to every other hotel/restaurant we stayed in during our extensive trip around Andalucia. I have consulted trip advisor many, many times over the... More

We are quite frankly devastated to read your review. Both Stefan and I were around for your short stay, we enjoyed a pleasant chat and we were also present throughout dinner. I believe I recall your husband telling me his Choco croquettes were absolutely delicious, they cost 7.00 euros, hardly overpriced for a plate of home made croquettes filled with... More

We enjoyed several nights at Mona and Stefan's hotel/restaurant. These folks are working hard at creating their dream and providing a comfortable stay for travelers. Our room was simple yet tastefully decorated, with a large comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was most satisfying with fruits,cereals and more. Stefan prepares wonderful dinners using the best of local ingredients and his culinary... More

My Wife and decided to do something a little different this Christmas. As we have stayed before at Al Lago, they send us a newsletter with upcoming events. When one came through to say they was doing a Christmas special we decided that this is what we would do. From the moment we arrived we was warmly greeted by the... More
