Nothing

Location was central and although our stay was in January and most places closed we would recommend to anyone especially those who wish to walk and visit the castle- possibly the best castle in the area ?

Very cosy and warm. Good location and we could park outside the door. Lovely having coffee and juice for the morning.

The town was extremely quite on a Thursday night (it was winter, so that´s understandable) and the restaurant, La Cochera, that is attached to the hotel was closed for dinner. Our problem was we couldnt find any restaurant that would accept dogs inside so we got a very good takeaway pizza (albeit pricey!) from El Arco and ate in the room. This isnt really a criticism of the hotel, more just something for people hoping to eat in the nearest nice restaurant, or take their dogs for dinner, to bear in mind. Also, for anyone wanting more of a traditional hotel experience - reception desk, communal salon areas etc - this is not it. There was a pretty little courtyard but other than that we only had access to our room. It really didnt matter though as the room was so big!

The room was HUGE and really nicely decorated (French farmhouse chic). The bed was also HUGE and extremely comfortable. The owners had gone to every length to make our stay feel really special - from the very good instructions to access to property, to the complimentary local gifts to eat and drink. Despite not offering breakfast (there is a DIA supermarket 5mins walk away where we bought fresh croissants) they do offer tea and a very nice coffee machine in the room. The bathroom had everything you´d need - gels, a hairdryer etc. Massive TV and fast Wifi. Its in the middle of the pretty little town but there´s a large park 1min walk away where we could run our dog safely off the lead. Would also be good for kids as there were two playground areas. Parking also effortless right outside the property.

The photos with the pool in the cave are not from this location. You have to book the pool and pay extra if you want to use it. It is located in another property in the town.

Really nice apartment in the city center

Nothing at all

Beautiful interiors, stunning outdoor pool area to relax in and the kids absolutely loved the underground cave pool too. Delicious breakfast and friendly attentive staff who gave great recommendations of what to do and where to eat. We loved our stay! Thank you.

Great location of the apartment and the hotel where the pool is was just breathtakingly amazing. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, we travel with our 2 dogs and it was perfect! Lots of different things to do around and all were within walking distance.

Village very quiet in June with limited eating options.

A wonderful find on our tour of Spain. We booked La Casa de la Vieja but were upgraded to the El Balsamo hotel. Superb boutique style hotel in an old restored building with very high quality finishes and much attention to detail. Delightful outdoor pool and very special heated cave pool. Coffee and tea facilities and honesty bar. Lovely breakfast on the terrace. Impressive castle and historic buildings close by. Enthusiastic, welcoming hosts. Excellent value for money.

the house is old and therefore the windows are retro not soundproof (though they are very cute). if you are a light sleeper, better take the plugs.

It is very spacious, with nice retro design, clean, has a common kitchen, which became very handy for us as we came when all the restaurants were closed. there is coffee machine and nice choice of capsules. the hosts are very helpful and visiting the cave pool is a must after long travel. the town itself is very charming, small and safe, with gorgeous castle and forest behind it.

These are all minor details - the water in the pool could have been warmer. The beams in the bedroom are charming but if you are over 1.80m tall you might want to watch your head 😉. The walls are a bit thin noise travels eg the beds creaked from one room where the children were could be heard in the other.

The staff were lovely, the decoration beautiful, great local information and superb location. Romantic and good for families too. Good wifi.

I cannot think of anything.

The kindness and disposition of the hostess. You can see the attention to detail in everything. The place is beautiful and she is always there to make you feel welcome. Breakfast was also wonderful and healthy.

Air Conditioning wasn’t very cool when needed.

Location, Ease of access, amenities
