Madrigal de la Vera Two Star Hotels from RM300

"Weird experience. The check in lady acted as if it was her first day on the job and he didn't know what to do with us. Room was very basic. One long pillow for two people to share. There was half inch of dust on both night stands by the bed. No mini fridge or tea/coffee maker in the room. for some reason a housekeeper knocked at our door at 9:30 am. Listing says continental breakfast included. I would say, breakfast was non existent. Again, when we inquire about breakfast in the morning, the lady at the desk had no idea what to do with us. It took her 10 minutes to talk to someone else and issue us 2 vouchers for tea/coffee and a pastry at the adjacent bar. The only good thing was free parking right by the entrance."

"The owners were exceptionally polite. The beds were so very comfortable. The bar and restaurant were terrific. We felt very welcome. There was a little language barrier but using translator with them worked perfectly. We wanted to see the real parts of Spain, this was the adventure we wanted. I recommend renting car and travel the differ cities. This hotel is definitely a 10."

"Excellent location if you like hiking - the mountains and countryside were on the doorstep. Run by an enthusiastic and very genial ornithologist. Slight miscommunication on check in that cost us an extra €20 which was unforeseen and a little annoying but we were happy to pay it. Service from staff was exceptional and the food served in the bar was delicious. TV didn’t work in the bedroom and a fan would have been welcome as it was hot when we stayed. "
