Encanto is a charming boutique hotel centrally located in Canillas de Aceituno. The owner provides excellent explanations and warm hospitality. The breakfast is delicious, and the value for money is unbeatable. Room 5, situated quietly in the courtyard, uniquely offers direct access to the pool. Overall, a wonderful place for a relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Encanto Guesthouse. The room was spacious and clean with lots of lovely extras. The facilities around the guesthouse were great too - we loved the roof terrace and the plunge pool but the snack station was also great. The hosts are amazing and always happy to help. They also make an awesome breakfast which was the highlight of every morning!

Rustic charm and very comfortable.

Absolutely lovely stay, very comfortable room and bed, lovely private terrace, this is a rustic guesthouse with lovely elements, little courtyard, breakfast room, great self check in, plunge pool was sadly empty as we would have loved a dip as it was hot but I assume it's out of season. All in all a very chilled and comfortable stay

Job and Gess have created a little oasis in town where you feel at home right away. They were very accommodating with food intolerances and we enjoyed the homemade breakfasts. The patio and dip pool are great! You have some stores, restaurants and cafés around and the town is near other bigger towns like Vélez-Málaga. Great experience!

4 Night stay in January

Lovely small hotel based in the centre of a lovely small town (Canillas de Aceituno). The Dutch owners were very friendly, always making sure we were OK and the breakfasts were amazing. Bargain price and had a good nights sleep every night, would recommend. No parking at the hotel, but managed to park nearby every day no issues... imagine it will be much more difficult in summer.

Don't choose room 5

I was really excited to stay at this guesthouse but when we arrived it was difficult to find our room, even with instructions. We were disappointed in our room specifically. The other rooms looked amazing and spacious, our #5 was not. It was also an interesting design to have the sink in the shower. I understand making a room out of the area to make more money but we found numerous spiders/bugs and there just was no space to move around. Also, I think that if you put on your website that every room has a minibar and plunge pool, that each room should have these. This was not the case, they were communal amenities. The breakfast was good though.

Das Guesthouse ist so ein schöner Ort in einem sehr coolen Bergdorf von Andalusien. Trotzdem ist man nah am Meer und in dem Ort gibt es alles was man braucht. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Es ist wirklich ein tolles Guesthouse und es gibt nichts was wir gern anders gehabt hätten.

Wir hatten einen rundum wunderbaren Aufenthalt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir von Peter und Sandro unglaublich freundlich und herzlich empfangen, welche jederzeit hilfsbereit waren und dafür gesorgt haben, dass wir uns wie zu Hause fühlen. Besonders begeistert hat uns die familiäre Atmosphäre – hier merkt man, dass Gastfreundschaft wirklich gelebt wird. Der einzigartige, verwinkelte Architekturstil verleiht der Unterkunft einen ganz besonderen Charme und macht jeden Bereich zu etwas Besonderem. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber, gepflegt und gemütlich eingerichtet, sodass wir uns sofort wohlgefühlt haben. Insgesamt war unser Aufenthalt einfach perfekt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und bedanken uns herzlich für die schöne Zeit. Fam.Koch

Het guesthouse is echt super schattig en ziet er goed uit MAAR wij vonden het bed alles behalve comfortabel. De kussens op het bed hadden als sierkussen een goede functie maar zijn niet geschikt om op te slapen.. De vloer is ongelijk, wat opzich niet erg is. Maar daardoor wiebelt en bonkt het bed onwijs. Daardoor waren we heel erg bang dat we andere gasten wakker maakte en durfde we zelf amper te draaien. De badkamer is oprecht prachtig, super schoon, leuk aangekleed en zag er echt nieuw uit. Helaas is de toegangsdeur naar de kamer van metaal wat niet zorgt voor geluidsdemping. Daardoor hoor je alle geluiden van de gang, beneden en eigenlijk van het hele huis. Wij hadden ook de pech dat het guesthouse zelf + de straat naast het guesthouse onder constructie is.. en ja de werkzaamheden begonnen om 8 uur in de ochtend. Nu maakte dat al niet veel uit omdat wij toch geen oog dicht hadden gedaan. Hoe leuk het er ook uit ziet en hoe lief de hosts ook zijn. Helaas hebben wij hier geen goede ervaring wat nachtrust betreft.

Peter und Sander, haben hier ein wirklich tolles Bed & Breakfast Plätzchen. Die Beiden heißen alle Gäste als Freunde willkommen. Wer wandern will, ist hier an der richtigen Stelle, genauso auch wer die Málaga Gegend Abseits des Trubels erleben will. Was man hier nicht bekommt, ist all inclusive Urlaub und den ganzen Tag am Pool, der kleine beschauliche Ort in den Bergen überrascht aber mit einer lebendigen Atmosphäre.

Casa con sabor en el centro del pueblo.

Bien ubicado en el centro del pueblo. Es una antigua casa con varias habitaciones y el resto de dependencias de uso común. Tiene un patio interior donde te sirven el desayuno. En general está bastante bien y bien de precio. El dueño amable y atento. Por poner una pega , que requiere un poco de mantenimiento.
