They had an event during our stay, which led to waiting in the parking lot for an hour to find parking. Pool was closed. Shower head broken. Place is very peaceful and serene. Very clean and staff helpful. Close to being an excellent hotel, just need to tie up some loose ends.

Cancelled my booking the evening before we were due to check in. Expedia sent an email. After a really long hard day of travel, to find out when we arrived at the hotel it was closed. Thats when I read the email. Really hard to read emails when riding a motorcycle across France & Spain. But hey, there are other hotels and websites

Great except for the music in the foyer that could be hear gently weeping through the bedroom walls during siesta. Perfect other than that. Personally we loved the fact that it was a family friendly hotel with lots of kids running around - also dog friendly too 😊😘

Don’t waste your time or money. What a mistake to stay here. The rooms are awful: stench of moist, a wall A/C unit to heat the room was noisy and had to be turned off at night due to its noise level. The room was depressing, and the bathroom was straight out of the 1960’s. It was disgusting. The front desk person was rude and at checkout they even tried charging us for breakfast, which we didn’t have.

Great value for money overall. I stayed one night only, but the experience exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort of the beds, room size, surrounding area, the breakfast quality and variety and the fact that the Hotel common areas are pleasant. Look forward to next visiting

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The hotel was renovated beautifully and sympathetically. The room was a mezzanine and suited our family well. We enjoyed the pool also. We were travelling with our dog and she was made welcome.

A lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings
The hotel was lovely. A mix of traditional Spanish with very modern. Some rooms opening out onto the gallery above the central quadrangle complete with fountain where dinner is set and there is a bar for al fresco drinks. The pool is really big - open 11am till 8pm. We are more 10am to 7pm swimmers but life in Spain is generally later than home. The staff were amazing. So helpful to us two OAPs trying to get by with my schoolgirl Spanish! All the Reception staff, though, spoke perfect English. The setting of the hotel is beautiful - well into the rocky gorges of the surrounding national park, 7km outside Cuenca. We had a hire car but a taxi to the new town or high old town is 10 euros and taxis seemed to be plentiful. Really good breakfast however the lunch and dinner menu was rather limited. It didn't change during the week as far as we could tell - the daily set lunch or dinner seemed to be choices from the regular menu and didn't seem to be something new each day. However, the menu didn't have an English translation and my phone was out of action for Google translate! I may be doing the chef a disservice! The old town of Cuenca and the Cuidad Encantada- a fascinating geological site (about 30 miles away) which costs 4 euros to enter for the 3km walk round extraordinary rock formations and boulders that are millions of years old, are well worth visiting. We would like to return to Cuenca and to the hotel one day.

2 night stopover from Portugal to Valencia
hotel has recently been renovated ,though not quite finished yet.we stayed 2 nights Friday and Saturday ,we had a very nice room with views over the garden area .The amenities are good but the staff need to be a bit more friendly ,they did seem to be a bit harrast at times .the restaurant was good value for money .Breakfast could be improved by having a proper coffee machine instead of thermal jugs of milk and coffee .We didn't see any tea making facilities either.Nice hotel beautifull position for walking in the country.

Perched high above Cuenca with a rural feel
Place has been recently refurbished with brand new everything Yes, you need a car to access this hotel, or catch a taxi. But you are so far from everything better if you have a car Previous reviews for this hotel whined about the noise of farm animals nearby (get over yourselves). Now with the thick glass and shutters you can barely hear a peep at night Reception staff were friendly enough, but the bar/restaurant guy was a legend I'm sure this hotel will become more high end and slightly less affordable in coming years

Could be better...
We had a good size room for 4, clean but everything was really old... They are trying to improve by doing renovation... we were woke up by hammering at 8 am... !! Not well appreciated when your are on holidays in Spain. The breakfast buffet was ok but products could really be better. The sports area - mini golf and pool - needs improvements too... not well maintained.

Good value for money, ideal stop for a road trip
Placed in the middle of beautiful nature with the views of the mountains, still close from Cuenca (10 minutes). We stopped here during our road trip from Barcelona to Motril in the south of Spain. It was perfectly located, close to Cuenca for a day trip. Our day ended in this very comfortable hotel after a day in Teruel and Albarracin and the most spectacular ride through the Serranía de Cuenca. The check-in was fast and the staff very friendly. Utmost recomendable!!
