San Gabriel

San Gabriel Review

In the oldest part of Ronda, this hotel is run by a family who converted their 18th-century home into an enchanting, informal hotel. The common areas, furnished with antiques, are warm and cozy and include a DVD screening room with autographed photos of actors (John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini, and Bob Hoskins, in town to film the 2000 television movie version of Don Quixote, were among the hotel's first guests). There's also a wine cellar where guests can taste and purchase wine (including local vintages) and sherry. Some guest rooms have small sitting areas and Jacuzzi bathtubs; most are sumptuously furnished with four-poster beds and antiques. Breakfast includes organic pâtés, cheese, and preserves.
