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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Lieu très charmant

Le logement était conforme aux photos, très joli et accueillant. La chambre parfaite également avec une belle salle de bain et une douche spacieuse. Tout était très propre ! Cependant, on entend tout du village, énormément de bruit à cause des fenêtres, je pense. Mais l’hôte a été très réactif et nous a immédiatement fait un geste concernant ce petit bémol qui n’était pas précisé ! Le petit déjeuner était très copieux grâce à Éric qui était aux petits soins ☺️ Un très bel accueil de sa part !

Es una casa campestre, bonita y muy agradable, acogedora. Las normas del uso de las instalaciones están muy claras y accesibles,. Tienen un área de snacks por si se te antoja algo en último momento. No tienen TV la habitación pero no era necesario. El sitio es para relajarte y compartir con quién te acompañe. Es excelente para quien quiera descansar, compartir en familia o solo sentarse a leer. El lugar muy estratégico porque consigues a pocos metros dónde comer. Recomiendo la pizzería que está en la esquina es maravillosa. Si repetiría

Lo único así más negativo son las almohadas que son un poco incómodas y cuando duermes a pesar de tenerlo todo cerrado se escucha la gente de la calle.
