About
Villa Guadalupe
Villa Guadalupe sits on a hill in the Puerto de la Torre district, a short drive from Malaga's centre. The property, once a private home, retains a personal feel with the owner's artwork displayed throughout. Guests consistently highlight the panoramic views over the city, the sea, and the sierras as a defining feature.
The on-site restaurant, Restaurant Amador, earns particular praise. Many reviewers describe it as the best meal of their trip, with a menu that showcases local Andalusian flavours. The hotel also offers a seasonal outdoor saltwater pool, a sun terrace, and expansive gardens. It is a small property, which contributes to the intimate atmosphere but also means a car is recommended for exploring the wider city.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location requires a car or taxi — The hotel is on a hill outside the city centre, and while parking is free, guests recommend having a car for convenience. Taxis to the cathedral cost around 10 euros.
- Location rating lower than other categories — Among the rating categories, location scores the lowest at 7, reflecting that it is not walkable to Malaga's main sights.
- Limited amenities for a 3-star hotel — While the hotel excels in dining and views, it does not offer a gym or spa, and pets are not allowed.

8.7Verified guest“The hotel is on a hill away from Malaga's centre, with stupendous views of the sea and mountains from the terrace, restaurant, pool, and most rooms. It is a small property, once an artist's home, with his paintings on the walls. The a la carte food is exceptionally good. We were impressed by the biometric fingerprint access for late returns. A perfect base for the Picasso Museum and Alcazaba.”
