The original family of El Santiscal was granted the estate in recognition of their noble deeds carried out during the Moorish siege of Ronda. Here they built the Hacienda El Santiscal as a fortified house in a strategic position which now offers the modern visitor magnificent views across the countryside.

Arcos de la Frontera is a historic town and the capital of the "Pueblos Blancos" (White Villages), near the Grazalema Nature Reserve, now declared a "Biosphere Reserve" by UNESCO. Arcos de la Frontera is one of the prettiest villages in Spain, situated at the top of a high rocky promontory on which are perched a mass of white houses and a medieval Arab castle.

Being a protected historic building (dating from the XVth century), all the rooms are different, including some with wooden coffered ceilings, Arab brick or terracotta floors, typical Spanish furniture, etc. But all are decorated to be welcoming and in keeping with the style of the house, giving it simplicity, elegance and character.

Other facilities include a dining room, a private glass gazebo, a reading room with fireplace, a garden and a swimming pool, terraces, direct access to the lake, an Andalusian central patio, a bar, and a car park. The hotel is surrounded by a large estate with sunflower and wheat fields, and olive trees.

The hotel has seven double rooms, three Junior Suites, one Terrace Suite and one Principal Suite, all fitted out with air conditioning, fully-equipped bathrooms and having magnificent views on the mountains of El Santiscal or the Lake of Arcos. To retain the fresh welcoming atmosphere, smoking is not permitted in the hotel.

Relax and enjoy the luxury of staying in a real Andalusian hacienda.

We Say

Here you can live the Andalusian patrician style of life for a few days. We especially liked the bells installed in each room by a previous incumbent, for calling up room service. As they say here, "It's more than a hotel, it's a way of life."

A Word from the Owner

This is an historical and romantic rural hotel where I hope you will feel at home. Beautiful views around the Andalusian countryside and the lake of Arcos. Quietness, charm, character, privacy and nature allow you to escape from stress in a very exclusive and unique building. Pass a few days as lord of an Andalusian Hacienda!!!
