    The price of the breakfast and dinners.

    We liked the location and the views from our bedroom. It was so peaceful which is what we came for. We also liked the walks around the monastery. No tv in the room.. fabulous.

    Wish the dinner was a bit better since the location is so remote with very limited options. Breakfast was basic continental but good.

    Really beautiful fairly remote location, very scenic with nice hiking. Nice getaway from the cities. The server in the bar was very friendly and went out of her way to serve us some jamon, cheese, and bread as we were quite hungry and had not planned our lunch well that day.

    Lovely accommodation part of working monastry. Lovely clean room. Comfy bed. Superb quiet location. Lovely friendly staff. Very reasonably priced 3 course meal for 15 euros each and 7 euros for nice bottle of Rioja. Cafeteria there too for sandwiches and drinks. Motorbike friendly with secure parking. We loved staying here. So peaceful.

    Should have booked a longer stay. ; )

    Genuinely warm welcome. Arrived just in time for a lovely lunch with local traditional ingredients. Staff could not have been nicer. Great room: no frills but all one needs to be comfortable. Peace. Quiet. Impressive natural surroundings. Contemplative and truly spiritual sanctuary. Enjoyed our attempts at the Valvanera Walking Trail in spite of weather and rain cutting it short on two occasions. Would definitely stay longer another time.

    the only bad thing and not the hotels problem, was the day we were there there must have been a family re union as there were hundreds of people having a bbq /picnic on the grounds and stayed all day and were extremely noisy and no parking..But as i said when they all left at 8 we were the only ones there.it just took away from the solitude experience..

    the general ambience and location and idea of what a monastery would be like to stay in. we were the only guests and they made dinner only for us. staff extremely nice.

    Nothing at all.

    What a brilliant place, located at the end of a quiet country road and surrounded by wooded hills. The room was very cosy and the ensuite shower room well equipped. Had a very nice, if simple, meal with a bottle of Rioja Joven in the restaurant for very little money and the breakfast was equally top value. But best of all was the attention of the staff, really made my visit.

    for us there was nothing to dislike it was clean comfortable and the staff went out of their way to make everything special especially for my husband with his mobility issues.

    everything was a beautiful, tranquil place to spend a couple of days relaxing. unfortunately as my husband has a disability we were unable to take in any of the lovely walks available.
