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!

This hotel is a little gem. As the name would suggest chocolate plays a major role in both the design of the rooms and the offerings at breakfast time. The rooms are large and well appointed whilst the breakfast, with or without chocolate, will set you up for the day. There is a small museum about chocolate manufacturing on site as well. I’d be happy to stay here again.

O café da manhã é excelente, com muitas opções e muito chocolate! O cheiro de chocolate do local é maravilhoso. Decoração muito bonita, hotel confortável e bem localizado. O museu do chocolate é focado em crianças, mas foi legal conhecê-lo. Todos os funcionários são muito atenciosos. Não tem estacionamento, mas há possibilidade de estacionar na rua, mas tem que tem ter sorte.

Fomos para um retiro católico na cidade e reservamos esse hotel para passarmos a noite. Mas não imaginávamos que iríamos ter uma experiência incrível no hotel. Parabéns pela equipa, pela iniciativa de reviver a história da cidade nessa fábrica de chocolate. Mais não digo para não estragar surpresas.
