There was a cockroach in the bathroom which I photographed . Staff in restaurant definitely need training as rude and unprofessional and not able even to explain contents of a cheeseboard . Charged over 5 euros for one slice of bread which was described as bread basket With a lot of trouble we were anke to Rebe the second slice
We booked this hotel at the last minute and were so happy we did. The location is perfect, the setting is magical, the staff is great, the facilities are very nice, and the restaurant is excellent.
JE RECOMMANDE L HERBEGEMENT MAIS PAS LE RESTAURANT
ENDROIT MAGNIFIQUE - JUSTE DEÇU AU NIVEAU DE LA RESTAURATION LASAGNE DE CANARD ??? VRAIMENT PAS TROUVÉ TRACE ET GOUT DE CANARD ET LE SERVICE AU RESTAURANT TRÈS DECEVANT PAR RAPPORT À LA PRESTATION DE L HEBERGEMENT. JE RECOMMANDE L HERBEGEMENT SANS HÉSITATION MAIS PAS LE SERVICE AU RESTAURANT.
Nice hotel with lovely gardens. It was very hot & humid when we stayed but they have a pool. We had an excellent dinner in the very nice dining.room. A 5 course tasting menu. We would have eaten on the terrace but it was too hot.
The check in was fabulous and we had a lovely room (Room 1) that actually has a kettle! We had a terrace with views of Xativa Castle and also the town and valley, all framed by pine and cypress trees. Deb had injured her knee so was able to sit on the terrace, read her book and chill as we watched the sunset. We had breakfast both mornings at the hotel and the breakfast was fabulous and we ate far too much delicious food. After breakfast I had a wander around the grounds. The views really were spectacular, especially with the early morning mist, and you could see sections of the town walls stretching from the valley up to the castle.
We ate one dinner in the hotel as Deb had already perused the menu, although I was somewhat sceptical. There were weird things like sea urchin, pig's ear, lamb gizzards and duck liver but I opted for sea bass and Deb had rabbit lasagna. The food was just magnificent. Right from the bread and olive oil, with the type of oil and its characteristics being explained to the main course and desserts there was nothing I could improve upon. I had two desserts - a cheesecake and a hazelnut mousse and both were fabulous. We left feeling full but not bloated, a lovely way to round off Deb's birthday.
Our room was fabulously quiet, service throughout the hotel was impeccable, the room had modern heating/cooling if needed and a modern bathroom. There was a lovely seating area with panoramic views as well as a private terrace and there was plenty of pa
Pros:
- Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
- Room was very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. We had a lovely view from the terrace of the castle.
- Pretty location surrounded by nature.
- Walking distance to castle and town.
- Free parking.
Cons:
- Bathroom had a strong drain/sewage smell after using shower and sink. Window is difficult to open as it’s very high up.
- Pool was not open during our stay (February) which we were aware of during the booking process but I would say that it looked quite underwhelming.
- We booked a table for dinner at the hotel restaurant noting that they had paella on the menu (we don’t eat meat but everything else). When we sat down at 8.30pm, the waiter said that they don’t ‘normally serve rice in the evening’, so immediately our options were very limited as the menu is very meat heavy. The restaurant is only open between 8.30-10pm so it was too late to go anywhere else. We ordered the only two fish main dishes on the menu, as they were also out of the red tuna starter. Both dishes were very underwhelming and over priced. They were luke warm at best and one of them was completely raw / inedible. The dessert was also awful. The only other table in the restaurant also had issues with their food and sent it back. The waiter was really apologetic but the chef was obviously having a bad night. The hotel kindly removed some of the cost of this meal as a result.
Overall: nice hotel with potential to be better, but restaurant lets it down.
숙소로 가는길이 너무 좋았고 체크인도 친절하게 잘 해 주셔서 기분 좋게 방으로 들어갔어요
개인 전용풀이 있어서 그것도 정말 좋았어요
저녁 식사는 레스토랑 예약하고 맛있게 먹고 있는데 웨이트리스가 저희 접시를 다 먹지도 않았는데 물어보지도 않고 치우는 바람에 기분이 몹시 나빠졌어요
거기다 와인을 두병 마셨는데 3병으로 차지했어요
영수증 체크를 안했으면 돈을 더 지불할뻔 했어요
레스토랑 문제만 없었다면 좋은 여행이었었는데 한두 직원들때문에 아쉬웠네요
