This hotel is absolutely worth visiting, and paying extra for a room with a sea view is highly recommended. The views are fantastic and truly incredible, making the room upgrade completely worth it. The hotel has a great atmosphere that exudes class, complemented by excellent service throughout our stay. The pool area is beautiful, and the rooms themselves are wonderful—just make sure to book one with a view. There are also nice amenities on-site, including a billiard table. As a tip for future guests, it is a good idea to ask the staff when the breakfast room is least crowded to avoid the rush. While the breakfast itself was good, the coffee machine was slow, which unfortunately created a bit of a queue. Overall, a great experience. Don't miss out on exploring the property and the nearby spots to take in the spectacular scenery.

Great room and very helpful staff. Brought us a fan to the room because the AC was turned off for the winter. The view from the room was breathtaking. Really comfy feeling at the property and cool things to see just a short hike or funicular away. The breakfasts were nice, rooms clean and comfy bedding. Would definitely go back to visit and stay. Just a chill place... especially in the off-season.

I will start with the service at the front desk. Wow! this is what hospitality should look like at every hotel. The front desk manager helped solving some problems upon arrival, since we were traveling by bike on the Camino de Santiago. He made sure that the bikes could charge overnight and they even moved them to the storage area themselves, while we were changing clothes in our room. Provided water for our flasks the next day. All of this, while being friendly, calm and helpful. He arranged a taxi for us to get to/from the village downhill (the road is a steep 5 kilometer stretch). Congratulations! We will never forget this level of service. Breakfast the next day was wonderful at the main restaurant, which also enjoys breathtaking views. the buffet had a wide array of local and world delicacies. Don’t overthink staying at this property. It is well worth it.
