Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a charming setup with rooms accessed in a 'motel' fashion, decorated in warm wood and stone, although slightly smaller than expected. The images didn't fully match the actual rooms, but the overall experience was pleasant.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room was below the usual 4-star standard I'm used to in Spain, it had lovely decor and beautiful covered balconies overlooking the garden. The service was outstanding with friendly and helpful staff, especially Lydia at reception. The location was perfect for exploring both the city and the countryside, but I was surprised by the need for permission at the reception for certain activities. The dining was enjoyable, with good quality and value, but coffee could have been better. The facilities were adequate, with a beautiful garden and library area.
The hotel offers spacious and beautifully appointed rooms with a separate sitting area and a great view, located in a quiet and beautiful setting. The service is superb, with obliging and helpful staff creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location is fantastic, perfect for exploring the city and within easy reach of both old and new town attractions. The dining options provide a good selection with variety to choose from. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable stay amidst a peaceful environment.
