El hotel es una maravilla, todo es precioso y el personal igualmente encantadores, sobre todo los que atienden el restaurante. Es un sitio para desconectar por la tranquilidad que se respira. Sin duda repetiremos.

Lo que más hemos disfrutado ha sido la riqueza cultural y gastronómica que tiene Mengíbar.

La comida del restaurante es fantástica y el agua del SPA estaba muy calentita. ¡Una maravilla!
The restaurant staff was lovely except for a blonde woman who was very rude at breakfast, and her facial expressions said it all... very unpleasant. The beds were also not what you would expect from a four-star hotel, but the room was beautiful.
El personal del restaurante encantador excepto una mujer rubia que había en el desayuno que te hablaba de muy malas formas y sus caras eran un poema…muy desagradable.
Las camas tampoco son lo esperado de un hotel de cuatro estrellas pero la habitación era preciosa.

La habitación es amplia y acogedora. El SPA está bien, pero no es gran cosa.
The SPA time is limited, 1h. And the price for each session is too expensive in my opinion, plus the swim cap is mandatory, and they charge extra for it.
El tiempo de SPA es reducido, 1h. Y el precio por cada sesión es demasiado caro a mí parecer, a demás es obligatorio el gorro de baño, que lo cobran a parte.

Es un sitio tranquilo, con encanto. Para relajarse y desconectar
The breakfast buffet does not have hot dishes and for being a 4-star hotel, it is simple. But everything is very tasty and the lunch and dinner menu is also very good. The spa needs some maintenance, it is also simple but peaceful and charming.
El buffet libre del desayuno no tiene platos calientes y para ser un 4⭐ es sencillo. Pero todo muy rico y el menú del almuerzo y la cena muy bueno también. El spa necesita algún mantenimiento, también es sencillo pero tranquilo y con encanto

El palacete es maravilloso los empleados super gentiles y profesionales .
It's a shame that the kitchen doesn't live up to this wonderful 4-star accommodation. They should improve the spa area if it's already small, and some sauna was not working, so I couldn't enjoy it as I expected.
Lástima que la cocina no esté a la altura de este maravilloso alojamiento de 4?estrellas . Deben mejorar la zona del spa si ya es pequeño y alguna sauna no funcionaba no se pudo disturar como esperaba
