"The breakfast buffet was just ok. Some of the fruit was rotten, specifically the watermelon was almost soup. I can not understand the reasoning why any staff member would put this out for consumption. It makes you wonder what the standards are in the kitchen. That said, the rest of the breakfast was good. Service was slow but courteous. There was only one server for most of the service and he was doing his best. The dinner experience was better. Food was great and the venue is stunning. I asked the front desk staff about the hiking/walking trails that clearly dotted the immediate area. They had no maps, or information which I thought was odd as this should be considered a sought after activity. I simply wondered off on my own using Google maps and found amazing trails and vistas. We were there in April and the pool was understandably closed but so was the surrounding area wich was too bad as from our room it looked like it would have been a lovely spot to sit in the afternoon sun. I know that this review sounds negative however these are simple things that could be addressed to improve the overall guest experience. All in all I would still highly recommend this venue as a must experience. Rooms and venue were very clean, parking was tight but acceptable. I would go back and recommend it for others."

"No pool"

"Great location, close to the cathedral and less than 10 minutes from the bus station. Nearby bars,restaurants and coffee shops. Hotel public areas are very nice but our room was very tired, although very clean and spacious with a comfy bed. Breakfast ok if you just like versions of bread, nothing much else on offer. "

"This was by far one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff asked for credit card numbed over WhatsApp before I even arrived. Nobody told me there wouldn’t be hot water until I found out myself and asking, the room was disgusting, smelled of smoke, trash and standing water in the shower from the previous guest. Somehow the room was blistering hot despite it being December and the AC didn’t work. "

"More attention needed towards pillows and bedding. View from balcony, fantastic. Receptionist very pleasant and helpful."

"Really super house which is lovely and remote, where you feel away from everything. The pool is great with fantastic views of endless olive trees. The local village is lovely with delightful restaurants and friendly, welcoming people. Do get the paella recommended on the fridge, it can be delivered if before 7pm, it is amazing!The waterfalls locally are great fun for young kids to play in and swim in the pools, even in August!Eli who looks after the house was really helpful and always on hand to help with any issue while we’re there, also a great source of local information.Really great house, thank you "

"Stayed here as my sin was playing in a local tournament. 2 bedroom 2 bathroom room. Clean and comfortable. TVs in both rooms and living area. Breakfast a bit underwhelming but ok. Location with amazing views."

"A wonderful place to stay in an amazing place. The view out our hotel window alone was worth the price - which was very reasonable and breakfast was included! Our interest was a days bike ride on the Via Verde del Aciete and this place proved to be a perfect base for that. The bike rental place that the hotel works with is excellent."
