This is a little known Frontera town right on the edge with the province of Cádiz, beautiful place, and not busy, even in August. Hotel Casa Henrietta is relaxed, open, very chic and highly recommendable. We enjoyed the roof terrace, where you can grab a bottle of white wine from the fridge, and the rooms, with their expansive views over the countryside.

Greeted by Melissa who was very helpful and friendly, we got a lovely room with a view of the valley and hills, lovely terrace with iron furniture WITH cushions 👍🏼. On street Parking was good, although driving around the Pueblo is not for the faint hearted😰😰. There was an Honesty bar, nice touch, we didn’t use it but fabulous view of the castle from the roof terrace . Overall for a Hostel great👍🏼. The room needed some work, drawers sticking and one front fell off!! Door to room stuck half way ! Latches to window covers missing. The lift was not working and looked like it was out of order for some time as it had a covering on the doors on all floors . Only a problem if you mobility issues as stairs are steep. Recommendation made for a resturant (El Ventorrillero ) for breakfast which was a tourist rip-off in my view. Suggest they give more than one option, we discovered some good ones. Good value,Would use again.…

This quirky and charming hotel was a brilliant find. Located in the middle of Jimena de la Frontera, it was an easy, if not steep, walk to all the local restaurants and attractions. It was thoughtfully decorated with interesting furnishings in the most beautiful, calming colors. Our bedrooms (5 & 6) were huge, with large tiled bathrooms, and set at the back of the hotel on the first floor with breathtaking views of the countryside and village rooftops. The cosy bar and restaurant are located on the lower level with a pretty terrace filled with wrought iron chairs and tables. There was even a piano in the salon. The restaurant is only open for dinner Fridays and Saturdays, so the receptionist kindly recommended two excellent places to eat when we asked for authentic local dishes. We highly recommend a walk around the sprawling castle and adjacent cemetery, as well as a visit to the Museo de la Memoria, located a few doors up from the hotel. Note: the elevator is not operational and I get the feeling that there are no immediate plans to repair it any time soon.…

This hotel is as delightful as it looks in the photos. Staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Room was ready with the two extra beds we requested for our children. The bedroom and bathroom were clean. Worth every penny we paid for. We had breakfast once in the hotel and it was nice and basic, you do get better value for money at the bars in town. Loaction was very central with bars and restaurants close by.

The hotel is small and very lovely, we did enjoy the view from our room, nice personal and quite atmosphere, even if parking on the streets in Jimena is quite challenging as the streets are steep. The are not too many extras at this hotel but we felt very comfortable there.

I don't like leaving less-than-good reviews, but I felt the need to with this one. The hotel is lovely but during our stay there seemed to be no one actually managing what was going on. There were staff, but no managers/owners. The hotel is well-appointed and charming, but this isn't everything, especially when issues arise. Here are some of the issues that occurred: Someone named Melissa texted us to ask when we would be arriving. We let them know exactly when we'd be arriving (we even had them book us a taxi from the train station). When we arrived at about 6 pm, no one was there. We waited for ten minutes, ringing the bell on the desk several, times. Nothing. We finally called the person who texted us, who was apparently not even in the general vicinity of the hotel, who got someone working in the restaurant downstairs to come help us. She was barely friendly and definitely not welcoming. When we got to our room, we noticed there was virtually no toilet paper. We had to go back down to the restaurant to ask. Fine--little mishaps arise from time to time. That night, it was really, really hot. It does cool off in the evenings, but even in the evening it was hot here. There's just one opening to the outside--a doorway--so one cannot create a cross-breeze. I bet it was about 80 degrees F in the room. The hotel advertises air conditioning, but it never worked. In the middle of the night, I used the phone at reception for emergencies and trying to get in touch with hotel staff to try to ask if I was doing something wrong with times and never got a response despite calling four times. I finally wandered around the hotel looking in maid's closets until I found a fan. That made sleeping tolerable. The next morning, a housekeeper had to check us out. Again, no management or regular staff were present. She had no idea how to use the credit card machine and ended up overcharging us because despite us speaking in Spanish that we wanted to pay in Euros, she pushed the "dollars" button, which comes with a surcharge. I don't blame her--it's not her job to check people out, I wouldn't think! Still, annoying. At 4 pm that day--long after we'd checked out, Melissa texted us asking if we'd tried to call the night before. (Imagine if it had been a real emergency!) I noted the air conditioner issue and she said it was switched off because "guests prefer to sleep with the doors open." THEN WHY ARE YOU ADVERTISING AIR CONDITIONING? In sum, felt like the pet project of an expat who fantasized about living in southern Spain and created a hotel to provide income to support that dream. I can't otherwise fathom how something so potentially wonderful could be so poorly managed. We are not difficult customers.…

Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing our hotel. I am very sorry that you had such a negative experience. I have been running this hotel for the past 10 years now and comments like this are few and far between. It is a small, cosy, rural and boutique hotel we cannot have staff just sitting in reception 24/7. The restaurant staff are also trained to deal with guests arriving and fill the needs of their requirements. Unfortunately in your case something seemed to me amiss. Regarding the problem with the air con, normally the month of October (based on our past experience) no-one ever requests this, as guests normally just prefer to open the windows and enjoy the nice autumn breeze. Regarding your comment about saying I am an " expat" so unfounded as you don't know me and I am not an expat, Im from municipality. We have so many kind, cultured guests who visit us repeatedly, so I must apologies again for the unexpected issues you seem to have endured. If you decided to come back hopefully your experience would be a different one. Many Kind Regards Melissa

Parking was a little difficult as the hotel has no parking facilities, (we knew this though so it was not an issue) but we found a free spot in the main road not too far away. The hotel looks nothing from the outside but it's like the Tardis, large and spacious when you enter. This in fact leads to a small problem, as the atrium is so tall there is a small problem with noise as every thing echo's', i.e. doors closing loudly and guests talking normally sounds loud. The staff were pleasant and diligent. The food in the restaurant was in my opinion very good, although served a little haphazardly. One starter came in the middle of our main course and I noticed on another table that they received both starters and main courses at the same time. Saying that the food was tasty and not expensive and the drinks were excellent value. We upgraded our room and had fantastic views over the rolling tree cover hills at the back of the hotel. Comfortable bed , and very clean rooms. Please note that that the lift does not work so not for the infirm. Over all I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel, but please take some ear plugs.…

We ate here the first night in this beautiful town. Our Airbnb was on the same street, and it was a short walk to get there. They had just hired a wine steward, who gave us excellent advice about wine (which is delicious and cheaper than in the U.S.) Food was great!

This is a most attractive boutique hotel/B & B, run by a charming and helpful owner (Melissa), set in the middle of a lovely little hill-town surrounded by the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, which has some great hiking trails. We would have no hesitation recommending Casa Henrietta, even though on the nights we spent there the hotel’s bar-restaurant was closed for a staff vacation, and so the breakfast part of B & B had to be sought elsewhere. This was all explained perfectly clearly beforehand by Melissa when booking directly through the hotel (the big online bookers were all announcing ‘No Vacancies’: a deliberate and sensible move by the management to reduce the risk of a full house and possible disappointed customers who would be unaware of what was going on). Our room (No. 4, first floor) was large and light, with a huge bed requiring GPS to get from one side to the other, and it had a delightful covered terrace offering extensive views east and south over the town and across the rolling countryside. The bathroom was equally spacious, with a good strong power-shower that did admittedly take a while to warm up in a largely empty building, and perhaps the only quibble would be the all-too-familiar “Hey, there’s nowhere to put your washing gear” absence of any surfaces or worktops. Bathroom lighting, on the other hand, was very good. We could not check out the restaurant or the terrace where breakfast can apparently be taken outdoors, but we did climb up to the rooftop solarium area, which has great views in all directions. The whole building has a nicely quirky, artistic vibe about it, which is perfectly in keeping with the village itself: Jimena de la Frontera appears to have attracted a more bohemian ex-pat set than some other places, and there is an atelier shop in the hotel selling arts and crafts from local potters, sculptors, and artists, both Spanish and foreign. Not sure if the elevator is actually in service, so be aware of this if you have heavy bags (we didn't). Free parking on the (quite steep) street outside. Thanks, it was nice. We’ll be back.…

We had one night here and enjoyed the town and the restaurant that went with the hotel. Helpful staff added to a relaxed vibe and it had lovely views to the surrounding hills. Quite a steep hill to climb if you venture out for shops and bars!
