What a find! In Benalmadena Pueblo. The old village is a delight. Quiet lots of restaurants and nice bars/easy link to Mijas and train station by bus. Too far if you want easy access to beach snd front - but we didn’t. The only downside is lack of bar but there’s loads nearby. Visitors must go to cafe below the hotel where the local Flamenco Chour practices. Cheap and hood food

Over all the hotel is not bad but I think it is becoming a bit rundown there needs to be more attention to the customer gardeners filling up water buckets at breakfast lots of rubbish in plane sight from the breakfast balcony no bar available at times. But in a good location.

Lovely traditional boutique hotel
Absolutely beautiful hotel, very traditional. Beautiful rooms, great views. Lovely spa. Breakfast was very good, eggs all freshly cooked. We had an evening meal at the restaurant, it was very good & amazing value. There are some lovely little courtyards with restaurants & bars near the hotel. The main resorts ,are all within a 10-20 min cab ride. If you want a break ,with a traditional Spanish feel, look no further than La Fonda, we will definitely return

Pueblo short break
Had a 4 night stay at La Fonda, spent most of my time on the upper terrace relaxing on either a sunbed or chair. The terrace has been very nicely designed with lots of greenery and laid out allowing you to have privacy. Lovely views of the ocean. My room was very nice and comfortable with everything that I needed, particularly the tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was very nice, plenty of choice and the option of ordering eggs cooked to your choice. Only downside was that the hot offering wasn't as hot as I like it, that said their was a microwave available. Would I stay there again, absolutely
