Some maintenance of the accommodation facilities would be worth investing in.

El Pontifical is full of character, a centuries old building renovated into a large multi level restaurant with rooms above. It was quiet, at the top of the town with great, indirect, views across the plain below. Beatrice was a kind and attentive host, cooking us a delicious dinner on our arrival.

Access roads for some people will be a little challenging especially in a large car!

Unique property very well renovated . All lovely and clean, good food.

Some guests might rate this as a negative point (I did enjoy it, though). Santos de la Humosa has some narrow streets and corners, so come here only if you're a skilled driver! 😉

If you value personal service, a quiet and peaceful location to have a restful sleep, places with charm, and want to have freshly pressed orange juice and the best scrambled eggs of Madrid outskirts for breakfast, this spot is a must.

Was very difficult to find, up very narrow and steep streets. I had to park lower down in the village and walk up the hill with all my stuff because it's very difficult to find the hotel and access by car, so I gave up and got out and walked! They should send you detailed instructions on how to find the hotel and where to park, so that you're not reliant on Google maps and bad signal!

Lovely, comfy and clean room with great shower and toilet en suite facilities. Air con was excellent, bed was comfy. Was made to feel very welcome and it was a sweet room.

I warned in advance that I had two small dogs with me. In response, I received a message - a surcharge of 15 euros. OK. But already on the spot it turned out that the surcharge is 15 euros - for each dog! For my absolutely trouble-free dogs, I paid extra 30 euros! This is not my first trip with dogs, but so far they have taken one surcharge everywhere. If the message had immediately indicated - for each - I would have found another place to live. Absolutely unacceptable parking. Asphalt is finished up to the parking lot. There are several large pits at the entrance to the parking lot. There is not even a small refrigerator in the room - nowhere to cool the water. There is no restaurant or breakfast menu on the website.

Check-in in the evening, at 20.15 no problem. Comfortable room, good bed.

The property was very beautifully renovated but there was a bit of a damp smell and some fixtures were not mounted properly so you had to be very careful not to break anything.

The setting, the host and the restaurant. We were very warmly welcomed and were served a very good meal in the evening.

it’s rustic and interesting but with modern facilities. Is a great place to stop off before the airport

The location was challenging to find. I would suggest locating it in the daylight.

We were welcomed warmly and accommodated well in our room as well as in the beautiful restaurant. This is an extremely charming place and a great find for upcoming travel to Madrid's airport.

It smelled very much of the kitchen, from the restaurant downstairs, in the whole hotel and the other guests were very clearly audible through the walls, which made it a little hard to sleep. Also the amount of stray cats was a little off-putting as they were constantly entering the (overpriced) restaurant.

The hilltop location and view are lovely but the town is a little lacking in facilities and charm

It was a beautifully restored historic building with an amazing restaurant downstairs. Our bedroom was just as you see it in the picture

Quite difficult to negotiate tiny roads through the village, up to the summit, but certainly worth persevering for a rewarding stay.

Superbly renovated small family run hotel in charming village with panoramic views all round.

Stayed in October 2023

It was very difficult to find the hotel, partly because there was so much activity in the village due to the fiesta. The rooms were very dark, and rather small.

The restaurant was lovely and the lunch menu excellent. However, there was a fiesta in the village when we arrived and the restaurant was closed in the evening, and for breakfast the following morning.

There was nothing to dislike about the hotel. Getting to the hotel though through narrow streets could be easier but the hotel makes it worth the effort.

A beautiful hotel a little gem hidden away, but within easy reach of amenities. A great stop off en route from Santander to Alicante. A lovely meal in a cool cave part of the restaurant provided such a relaxing atmosphere. We have used this lovely hotel before and will be happy to use again.

We loved the room, spacious, super clean, the bed and pillows are so comfortable and the building it’s beautiful, the manager is super attentive, she makes you feel at home, the breakfast is great and the place is very quiet. This is the second year we are staying and for sure we will be back next year too.

Noise insulation between bedrooms could be better. Take gps to find.

Personnal treatment by owner and son. Very nice interiors and excellent breakfast and dinner. Nice views from this location on a hill. Close to Madrid airport. Private parking.

A little off the beaten track but we found it and when we did it was a great stay. The owner is super helpful and greeted us so nicely, including the dog! She opened up the restaurant for us and cooked us a beautiful meal. Similarly, the following day, we had a lovely breakfast too.
