Stayed here some time back. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and not close to the old city of Avila. Room was OK. Food was extremely pricey. This place tries to sell itself as gourmet, but only the price was gourmet. Food was average. Was charged about 7 euro for a melon ball scoup of ice cream for... More

Our stay here very much lived up to expectations, in some ways I think it was undersold. We were on a Headwater walking holiday and went to this area for the high peaks (>2000 meters) and promised alpine scenery.

We were surprised by the high quality of this hotel in a tiny mountain village. The rooms are fairly large, with very comfortable beds. The best part is the dining room with picture windows overlooking the Gredos. The food at dinner and at breakfast was just great, imaginative, very fresh and light, with excellent presentation. It was nice to get... More
