Perfect Stay!
I traveled with a couple of friends and we couldn’t be more satisfied! Very nice hotel with a big room. Cleaness was perfect and the staff was very friendly (shoutout to Isidro, at the front desk, who was very helpful and attentious). We spent a couple of hours at the spa, which was spotless!

Nice relaxed and relatively sophisticated place. Was concerned could be a bit seedy but quite the opposite. Nice breakfast. Parking on site for 25 euros a night if space available. Close to centre and nice spa area free to use. We also liked the room layout

Very nice hotel with very friendly staff at the reception. If you come by car, it may not be easy to find a parking space near the hotel if the hotel car park is full.

A quite out of the way place that is not too far from the old town. There are some very good local eateries nearby.
