“Beautiful building but disappointing marie-celeste-like hotel”

We booked this hotel as part of a tour of Spain, and it was unfortunately the most disappointing hotel of all. Sad because the hotel itself is the most beautiful building, sympathetically restored and with a stunning setting next to the Embalse. Our room too was gorgeous, a "junior suite" with antique wooden furniture and a pretty white bathroom. However,... more

Dear Madam: We read carefully your review and the opinions you got about our Hacienda. First of al,l to apologize if we are given to you the impression of an isolated place, but the only thing we are trying is to give our clients what they are looking for when they come here: something different from the other hotels; silence,...

This is a wonderful building and once would have stood in wonderful countryside, unfortunately it is now surrounded on two sides by a creeping urbanization and its associated detritus. We tried to walk to the lake, but got lost in the urbanization and gave up. We were fortunate to have the winter suite which still has a view of the... more

The Hacienda is a listed building dated from the 1485 ( XV century) ; it is declared Historic and Singular Mansion and for that reason it is untill now a nice property with a lot of antiques " no old" elements in the decoration, such as Isabelino Sofa, terracotta fabrics, hand painted ceramics from Talavera, curve and wood ceelings, etc....

This is a 15th Century hacienda which has been converted to a hotel with sensitivity and attention to detail. It is 4 kilometers from Arcos overlooking the lake. There is a small lawn with a small pool (not heated). The co-owner was proud to show us around the facilities and when I mentioned taking a dip ( mad I know... more

I bet this was great place at one time...but it's on its way out now.. The views are still gorgeous and the building is still something to savour, but there's a lot lacking. Billed as a 'get-away-from-it-all' type of place.....that's true .....while you're in it... It feels isolated...but...the 'burbs' are almost on the doorstep and they are not overly-pretty.

The Hotel El Santiscal , a family residence, is exquisitely restored and a noble 15th-century house . This beautiful fortified building has magnificent views to the surrounding landscape only a few kilometers away from Arcos de la Frontera. We enjoyed our stay very much and service was very friendly more

This looks like a stunning remote villa but in reality its on the edge of town and close to a new housing estate so sadly you get no sense of being on the back roads. The accomodation is very good and full of character and the staff are very helpful. It is an excellent place to have genuine peace and... more

Superb ! What more can I say. If you are looking for peace and tranquility then this is the place. The hospitality is first class. It's not like being in a hotel - more like a stay with friends.Food is simple and all the better for that. The menu varies from day to day and always uses the best of... more
