My wife and I spent a few days here in April. We chose this hotel because of the rave reviews of others on Trip Advisor and because it is now a member of the Relais du Silence group. I have to agree with almost all the reviews, this place is heavenly. The staff - Maria, Esther and Stefania at the front desk, Juan in the dinning room and everyone else we met were genuinely friendly, outgoing and personable. It was a real pleasure just sitting and chatting with everyone. They provided inside tips on dining, touring, what to avoid, what to see etc. They were fabulous.
The property was undergoing some construction which took away from the peace and quiet but that was truly minor compared to the rude, inconsiderate and truly annoying group of guests that arrived on our second day. Apparently they were friends of the owners and decided that this gave them the right to take over the property.
An innumerable amount of small children that redefine the term "noisy rug rats" were foisted onto the staff and other guests. Their parents spent their time drinking, smoking and totally neglecting these little ruffians who delighted in screaming expletives at each other at all hours of the day and night.
These parents would spend hours at the small bar getting louder and louder until staff would ask them to go to bed at 0300 in the morning. This meant they would then wander the hallways, half-cut, yelling at each other, laughing loudly and making absolute asses of themselves. The staff were at the end of their tether by the second night of this mob's stay.
The hotel is excellent, the staff are second to none, the kitchen is wonderful and the location is marvelous. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in the Spanish countryside.
My only caveat is, check your dates. If it is a Spanish long weekend or Bank holiday - confirm that the owners haven't invited their friends!
