I stayed in this fabulous chocolate hotel in early October when I was walking on the Camino way. After a 10 mile day of walking, it was wonderful to get there and berated with a wine spritzer with chocolate shavings, delicious chocolate bar, and a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place.

Unique spot!

A unique property with an amazing staff that handled every request with a smile and desire to help! A nice breakfast. The chocolate factory was an interesting tour and the samples were great. We were well positioned for a great morning of walking. I highly recommend!
