Our Favourite Hotel in Spain

It was so good to be back! We received our usual warm welcome from all the staff and, as usual, we feel we are part of the family. Everything was pristine, service first class and we were extremely comfortable. Special mention to Sylvia who has breakfast running like clockwork and Adil, who has become our newest addition to the family - we think he is fantastic! Looking forward to seeing everyone next year.

B bou hotel-la Viñuela & Spa - best in class

A beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The service from staff has been exemplary, with particular regard for David (in the restaurant) and Sequoia (uncertain spelling, on reception). They, and others have been great advisers to first-time visitors. Other staff were excellent in minor interactions. Our only complaint would be about the delay with check-in procedures, but that was soon dismissed by us. We will be back... E​ven fellow clients are worthy of mention, particularly Dermot and Patricia from Leinster, Ireland

Stayed here 20 years ago but the hotel is so much better now. Fantastic pool and sunbathing area with quality beds, shades and views. Food was also excellent and can highly recommend a Junior Suite with a fantastic bed, bathroom, lounge and balcony. The location is out of town, but centred nicely for the main tourist attractions and only 20 mins from the lovely beach front at Torre Del Mar. Not sure what more I can say but if you are looking for a relaxing quality hotel in a beautiful quiet setting, I can’t see you finding one better in Andalusia.

The hotel is in a stunning location and provided an excellent base to explore the area around Vinuela. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, providing us with details of a local company who run mountain bike rides round the lake. The hotel itself was nice. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable but with limited sound insulation between the rooms, it wasn’t a quiet and relaxing space. Ear plugs were a must for getting to sleep before 1am. Breakfast was nice, with lots of choice. We ate at the hotel a couple of evenings too. The food was nice and reasonably priced but the restaurant and service was a bit chaotic. We found the food and atmosphere at a local restaurant near the hotel to be better.

Superb staff, location and food. The staff team couldn’t do enough for us. Brilliant views and dining options. This is a small hotel that gives a lot considering it size. The pool is fabulous and although I heated was perfect for a few laps. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay superb.

5 day romantic getawaway in a classic room

The hotel is in great condition, the staff is very friendly, it is very chique and has - lot of history. With the age and style comes a noise insulation that is not up to todays standard. I will still always prefer these 2cm thick marble tiles in the bathroom over a soundproof door. The breakfast is good, but does not vary. You can order eggs from the kitchen, But the cold platter you get served always has 3 slices of Manchego, 3 slices of ham, 1/2 avocado and 2-4 slices of salmon.

Disappointing

A bit disappointing. The first room we were allocated smelled strongly of eggs/sulphur. The room was changed without a fuss. Both rooms were smaller than expected. I made a booking online for a pedicure which was confirmed by email. When i got there they told me this wasn't a service they offered. I booked a massage for the following day. The spa was locked when i got there. No one turned up. Reception, where i made the booking said they did not have a booking. The bar and restaurant are were very pleasant but the staff were inattentive and it was almost impossible to get their attention to order a drink. We weren't supposed to go up to the bar but had to to place an order I would say the hotel is pretty nice but overpriced for what is on offer.

Skønt hotel med ro og den mest fantastiske udsigt. Formidabel service og god mad i restauranten, hvor spisekortet var stort og alsidigt både med kød, vegetarisk og veganske retter.
