As part of my two week meander around mid-west Spain I had decided to take in a cluster of villages east of the Rio Tajo. La Mata was, I think, the only one with an hotel. I thought it was rather expensive for the location but it fitted my two main criteria - parking and a restaurant. My room was pretty basic and not great quality to be honest – tiny rickety wardrobe with one bent metal hanger, very tiny shelf unit, no bedside lighting and no wall sockets. It did however have air conditioning and a small but modern shower room – and a wall socket!! The only thing wrong was that the toilet was constantly running so I had to turn off its water supply otherwise it would have driven me mad during the night. I got the feeling that the hotel accommodation is an adjunct to the bar & restaurant which, being located where it is, is probably right as I would guess that it doesn’t attract many residents. I was the only one booked in that night. The bar/restaurant was something altogether different. It wasn’t up-market or pretentious. It was just what I would expect from a small town place – locals at the bar and the whole place a hive of activity on a Friday night. The restaurant was fully booked so I ate (as did others) at a table in the bar which allowed me to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the place. The food was unbelievably good and the service excellent. I was ready to leave before the bar opened in the morning but was offered coffee and tostada to see me on my way. I left just after they’d opened the shutters and in my car which was parked outside at 9.45am. Depending on your requirement for the quality of a hotel room, I guess the hostal wouldn’t suit some people. From my perspective, I parked outside, met some lovely people, enjoyed the evening atmosphere and the friendly service, had a really excellent meal and breakfast before I left the next morning so I was a happy bunny.

We did go in

Peaceful, and very welcoming

This is a very nice hotel, with comfortable bedrooms and good facilities. The evening meal was very good and excellent value for money. It is a calm and relaxed place to stay.

Great location, everything necessary for a comfortable holiday and a lovely patio area.

Owner spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish but with a lot of laughs and Google translate, we worked everything out. Host was exceptional and property was charming.

Todo en general,en especial el queso de trufa 😂🙈
