Apartamento Caolin Rocabella, El Chorro Overview
Apartamento Caolin Rocabella is located in El Chorro, Spain. Rated 8.5 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Apartamento Caolin Rocabella is a self-catering apartment in El Chorro, Málaga, Spain, set in the Las Angosturas area at Las Angosturas sn. It’s an especially good fit for couples or small groups who want privacy without giving up the comforts that make outdoor days easier. Air conditioning helps you cool down after time in the gorge, and the terrace and outdoor furniture make it practical to linger with views. The swimming pool and hot tub/Jacuzzi are the standout “stay-in” bonuses, while BBQ facilities let you turn evenings into your own plan.
Guests who left reviews rated the apartment 8.5/10 across three reviews, suggesting a generally positive experience, with visitors likely valuing the combination of relaxation spaces and the quiet feel that suits a nature-focused base. You’ll also have non-smoking accommodation throughout, which is useful if your group prefers cleaner indoor air.
In terms of what’s close by, Caminito del Rey is about 6 km away for the famous walkway through the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, and the gorge scenery and viewpoints are within roughly 9–12 km. The El Chorro Reservoir area is around 10 km out for slower walks and photo stops, and Álora town is about 18 km for a change of pace with local dining and everyday services.
For transport, offsite parking is available with discounted rates, which can matter in this rural stretch where you’ll likely drive between viewpoints. If you’re choosing between a hotel and an apartment in El Chorro, this one works best when you want your own outdoor downtime after hiking, rather than spending the whole trip dining out.
