we had a wonderful time at Castellon de Bedar, our hosts were warm and friendly and made us feel very at home... I could not recommend this place more.... perched at the top of Bedar it is so quiet and tranquil... a perfect break away from the hustle and bustle of life..

My partner and I have just come back from a week’s stay at the beautiful Castellon de Bedar, where we enjoyed the jewellery workshop too! As we walked through the authentic Spanish village, Shane and Clare the owners, walked us through their beautiful planted patio and into their stunning Spanish house. We were shown to our own quarters with a bedroom, lounge, shower room and balcony. The BnB is decorated to the highest of standards and all our needs were taken care of... coffee's and teas, fresh water, toiletries, slippers, etc. The view from our balcony was breath-taking... in a beautiful Spanish village surrounded by mountains, and you could even see as far as the ocean. It was completely tranquil.

We had freshly cooked breakfast every day from the hosts, including freshly-squeezed juice using locally picked oranges - definitely a must-try! A few nights we enjoyed dinner at Castellon where Shane cooked his famous paella dish and a fish dish, recommending the best local wines to suit too. The food was so fresh and to such a high standard - we felt like we were in paradise as we sat on our balcony enjoying beautiful food with tasty Spanish wine, surrounded by candles and magnificent views. We also later had a dip in their hot tub with a glass of Prosecco, in case we weren’t being spoilt enough already!

As part of our package we had a workshop with Clare and made our own rings. Clare was so patient and taught us at our own pace. We ended up making beautiful pieces of jewellery which really topped off the week and meant we had a souvenir to take home.

Bedar village has some great little restaurants and bars just walking distance from Castellon. And then a short ride away is several beautiful towns which have lots going on and lots to do! The location really is ideal and has so many amenities close by. Whether you want a peaceful stay or to explore what the beautiful island has to offer, this is the perfect spot. And not far from the airport either!

When Shane and Clare dropped us back to the airport, we are very sad to leave but have since booked to come back! Hopefully my jewellery skills are still up to scratch!

Thank you for a wonderful stay both, absolutely highly recommended x

We spent the night at Castellon de Bedar and what a wonderful time we had. Clare and Shane have thought of everything to make your stay such a treat, from the bottle of cava on arrival to watching the stars from the hot tub at the end of the evening. The whole place is just brimming over with style and luxury - the best night's sleep ever is guaranteed and followed by a very tasty breakfast, cooked by Shane. Such a lovely place to visit and you can even buy a gorgeous silver trinket, made by Clare, before you reluctantly leave! Don't hesitate to book to stay and/or try one of the courses run by Clare.

Spent a week with Clare and Shane, exploring my creative side and learning techniques used in silversmithing. Clare is an extremely knowledgeable lady who is willing to share her skills, supporting and encouraging her pupils in all aspects of the jewellery trade. I came away feeling inspired to continue with my interest and I plan to return for another creative day to build on my current knowledge. Please take a look at the days and courses on offer. If you choose a class you will not be disappointed.

You could not find a better place to stay as the owners Shane and Clare cannot do enough to make your stay as happy and as comfortable as possible. From the minute we arrived we were given a bottle of Cava or beer in a fantastic suite with ensuite bathroom, own lounge, own balcony with a view to die for! It did not stop there as they also cater for an evening 3 course dinner that was fabulous again with a fantastic view over Bedar, the mountains and the sea,

If you want to stay in a very special place then this is the destination for you.

Thank you again Shane and Clare
