Located next to the motorway but our room was at the back of the hotel with beautiful views over the countryside. The room was lovely and the balcony huge. Everywhere in the hotel was immaculate. We had lunch and dinner in the hotel restaurant, it was all excellent. Beautifully cooked artichokes and a fabulous game pate were our highlights. The hotel staff were fabulous and extremely helpful. Also, the hotel was extremely welcoming to our small, elderly dog. A short walk into Santa Elena where there are a few shops and bars.

We stayed over for a brief stopover on our journey back to the UK. A fantastic hotel with welcoming staff, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Dog friendly and a delicious restaurant attached. We will definitely return.
