Enfrente Arte

The hotel is currently closed for renovations and alterations. More information and 2020 rates will be added here when they become available. In the meantime this is how we described it for 2019.

Beautifully situated in the oldest paved street in Ronda and surrounded by historic buildings, this unique and oh-so-laid-back hotel is just moments from the centre of the town yet faces directly out to the "Sierra de las Nieves" national park. The Tajo bridge, the Arab baths and the famous "Fuente de los Ocho Caños" are all right there.

The house itself has been decorated with unusual and eclectic details that are elegant, original, novel, bohemian and sometimes just plain wacky. Above the intimate bar and relaxed dining room, the hotel also has a recreation room with a pool table, television, a library as well as a computer with free access to the Internet.

The subtropical garden, with a large variety of exotic plants, birds and fish is a magnet for nature lovers and small children alike. Various romantic courtyards and terraces offer stunning views of the mountains, the river "Guadalevin", the old town and the renowned horse riding school of "Maestranza de Ronda".

Enfrente Arte also provides an outdoor swimming pool and a sauna. Those with more energy can burn some calories at the new multi-sports complex just around the corner.

Enfrente Arte was born from the idea of providing a hotel that is a home-from-home, without limitation or strict timetables. For the duration of your stay, all drinks, breakfast-brunch buffet, and the use of all facilities are included in the price of the room.

The self-service bar offers a selection of tea, coffee, refreshments, juices, beer, wines and sherries.

The hotel has featured in a number of television programmes and films and been a part of various projects like concerts, sound recordings, production of video clips, release of an alternative travel guide, etc.

Meals

The breakfast-brunch buffet serves a wide variety of hot and cold dishes such as pastries, carpaccios, pancakes, fruits, cheeses and local meats, cereals, eggs and much more. The hotel has no restaurant for lunch or dinner but being so close to the centre of Ronda, that is hardly an inconvenience. For a really memorable meal, there are some restaurants in Ronda perched right on the rim of the gorge. The staff of the hotel can give you some recommendations.

Occasionally themed dinners are organised in the hotel, for instance a barbecue or a Moorish dinner.

Walking, hiking, horse-riding, golf, cycling, beaches 45 minutes away, sports centre, various activity sports companies nearby.

Ronda is an amazing and fascinating town. The setting of its breathtaking ravine, dividing the old Moorish quarter from the new "Mercadillo" quarter, turns it into a unique place. The two parts of town are connected by an 18th century bridge where you can look straight down to the river 100 metres below.

Once captured by the Romans, later transformed into a Moorish stronghold and finally conquered by the Christians, the city is full of remains of this rich and turbulent history. There are numerous monuments and historical buildings worthy of your visit.

Ronda, birthplace of the legendary Romero bullfighters family, played a leading part in the development of bullfighting.The bullring, built in 1781, is one of the oldest and most important of Spain and its museum reveals an outstanding collection.

Take note of some famous opinions :
Ernest Hemingway mentioned the city in some of his books, suggesting it to be the best place "to spend your honeymoon or to see a bullfight for the first time".
Rilke called Ronda "the city of dreams".
Orson Welles even loved this town so much that he chose it to be his final destination. His ashes were finally scattered at Ronda on the ranch of his friend, the famous bullfighter Antonio Ordoñez.

Ronda is the ideal base for day trips to explore the rest of Andalucía. The town is surrounded by unspoiled villages, impressive mountains and national parks like the "Sierra de las Nieves", "Sierra de Grazalema" and "Los Alcornocales", offering a diversity of stunning landscapes, wildlife, walks and activities.
