Your Perfect Stay

Why this destination is a must-visit

Mengíbar is a small, historic town in the province of Jaén in Andalusia. It is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and tranquil charm. Surrounded by olive groves and close to some of the region's most iconic attractions, it is the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway with a touch of history.

Top attractions

  • Mengíbar Tower (Torre de Mengíbar): This medieval tower is the symbol of the town and dates back to the Islamic period, offering insight into the area's past.
  • Archaeological Museum: Located in the town hall, it displays artefacts from the Iberian, Roman and medieval periods that have been discovered in the region.
  • Church of San Pedro Apóstol: This beautiful 18^(th)-century church features baroque elements and impressive altarpieces.
  • The Roman Bridge of Mengíbar: This ancient structure crosses the Guadalquivir River and offers a peaceful spot for walks and views.

Best beaches

  • Mengíbar is inland, so there are no beaches in the town itself. However, you can enjoy the riverside or take day trips to nearby natural parks with bathing spots.
  • River Guadalquivir access points: The local natural areas along the river are ideal for short hikes or picnics.
  • Jaén’s Green Pools (Charcas Verdes): These natural pools are located in the Sierra de Cazorla, about 90 minutes away, and are perfect for a refreshing dip in summer.

Family-friendly activities

  • Local parks and playgrounds: The small, quiet green spaces in the town are ideal for younger children.
  • Cultural workshops and festivities: Traditional events such as the summer fair or historical re-enactments are enjoyable and educational for families.
  • A visit to nearby Jaén: The city offers museums, a castle and panoramic views from Santa Catalina Hill.

Local Gastronomy

  • Andalusian tapas: Enjoy classics such as flamenquín, migas and berenjenas con miel (fried aubergines with honey).
  • Extra virgin olive oil: Jaén is the olive oil capital of the world — taste it fresh or buy it directly from local cooperatives.
  • Gazpacho and salmorejo: Refreshing cold soups, ideal in summer.
  • Local sweets: Traditional desserts such as roscos de vino and pestiños are commonly enjoyed during festivities.
  • Choto al ajillo is a local goat dish seasoned with garlic and typical of rural Andalusian cuisine.

Nearby attractions

8 Roberto Travelled with couple September 2025 "The great charm and great history of the palace hotel"
El gran encanto y la gran historia del hotel palacio
When they have a big celebration at the hotel, they should consider setting a night curfew that is not 3 in the morning like it happened to me. And they should think about the other guests who are staying and want to rest, everything has a balance. And they have not been able to do so due to poor management.
Cuando tengan alguna gran celebración en el hotel que piensen en poner una hora limite por la noche y que no sea las 3 de la mañana como me sucedió a mí Y que piensen en los demás usuarios que están alojados y quieren descansar todo tiene un equilibrio Y no han podido por si mala gestión

8 Miguel Angel Travelled with couple September 2025 There were kittens at the entrance and they had food and drink set out for them. The building is beautiful.
Había gatitos en la entrada y les tenían puesto comida y bebida. El edificio es bonito.
More types of pillows that are very thin, the buffet breakfast, although not scarce, lacks a bit more variety. There is nothing hot.
Más tipos de almohada que son muy finas, el desayuno buffet aunque no es escaso falta un poco más de variedad. No hay nada caliente.

6 Miriam Travelled with couple August 2025 The bed was quite comfortable. And the hotel itself quite beautiful.
La cama era bastante cómoda. Y el hotel en si bastante bonito
What they offer does not correspond to a 4-star hotel, the spa had areas that were not working, you had to ask and the spa reception desk was unattended. The hour passed and there were areas that we had not been able to try. I mentioned it upon leaving and did not receive any response. The breakfast was acceptable but not at all in line with a 4-star hotel, little fruit, little variety of pastries, nothing savory except for some cold cuts, and we had to keep saying that certain things were missing for them to replace them. In general, the staff was quite unfriendly, we came across several workers and they did not speak to us. To top it off, when we left, the receptionist did not ask us about our experience or anything, even though they had supposedly been informed of the spa complaint. Money that I could have saved.
Lo que ofrecen no sé corresponde con un 4 estrellas, el spa había zonas que no funcionaban, salías a preguntar y estaba desatendido el puesto de recepción de spa. Paso la hora y había puntos que no habíamos podido probar. Lo notifique a la salida y no me dieron ninguna respuesta. El desayuno pasable pero nada acorde con un hotel 4 estrellas, poca fruta, poca variedad de bollería,nada de salado salvo algo de embutido y había que estar diciendo que no había ciertas cosas para que las respusiesen. En general el personal bastante seco, nos cruzamos con varios trabajadores y no nos dirigieron la palabra. Para colmo al irnos la chica de recepción no nos pregunto que tal la experiencia ni nada, y eso que supuestamente habían notificado la queja del spa. Un dinero que me podría a ver ahorrado.

9.4 Eva Travelled with couple August 2025 What we liked the most was the hotel's decoration and how beautiful it is. The cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff.
Lo que más nos ha gustado ha sido la decoración del hotel y lo bonito que es. La limpieza y la amabilidad del personal
From the room we were in, we could hear a lot of noise from the hotel courtyard, and at night it was 2/3 in the morning and there was a lot of commotion. Also in August, everything was closed in the area and there wasn't much to do.
Desde la habitación que estábamos de escuchaba muchísimo el patio del hotel y por la noche eran las 2/3 de la mañana y se escuchaba mucho jaleo. También en agosto estaba todo cerrado por la zona y no había mucho que hacer.
