Since Arcos is extremely small, and can really be seen in a few hours, I decided to rest a couple of days at the Parador. Arriving by bus (the station is at the bottom of the hill) I walked up with a backpack, and it was only about 20 minutes, at a leisurely pace. However, folks are right, you do... more

This is a lovely parador. We had a fine room with terrace, and stunning views over the Andalusian plain. Service was very efficient and friendly - we certainly did not come across untrained local staff as suggested in other reviews. Encarna in Reception was especially helpful. Access was not problematic, although we had SatNav which took all the hard work... more

The hotel is located in the center of a very nice white village very well located at the cneter of all attraction of the region (ideal for daily trips). Great walks just around inthe tiny streets. Hotel is very nice with amazing terrase and view on top of a 100m cliff. Diner was good as well as friendly services and... more

We stayed here to experience a parador and a white village on the way to Gibraltar. Our rental car was deliberately small, A 4 door 1400 cc. We had no trouble with the narrow roads and no trouble finding the parador by following the parador signs from the edge of town. It would be difficult in a larger car. The... more

Friends of ours recommended that we stay in Paradors while in Spain (government owned hotels in historic locations) and we were quite happy with this Parador. We also saw the one at Ronda (from the outside) and it also looked appealing. This location is a former magistrate's home. The rooms are huge (2 double beds pushed together, a desk, full... more

Good hotel, nice rooms, great view, per previous reviews. We didn't eat here but there was a good selection of restaurants nearby. Arcos is a one day affair, but the top end of the town, around the parador is charming with pleasant bars etc. The best entertainment however is getting there in the first place ! We had a Mercedes... more

As a veteran navigators of the pueblos blancos we were undeterred by previous reviews commenting on the difficulty of access to this Parador. They do, however, need to be taken seriously. The wing mirrors of our Ford Fiesta were too close to the walls for comfort at various points on our ascent, and on arrival in the very small square... more

A 60's re-creation of a medieval building in a great position on the main square in the old town, perched on top of a cliff. The building is rather well done. Many of the rooms have large balconies overlooking the cliff (can be windy). The restaurant is partly in an attractive open but sheltered central courtyard. The downsides: 1. Not... more

Based on previous reviews, we left the car in the car park located in Plaza de España and took a taxi. Unless your drive a smart car I would not recommend to drive to the parador, streets are very narrow and you can see car marks almost in every corner, (that says a lot) The parador is a very pretty... more
