Staying here felt like stepping into history. The whole monastery is full of art and beautiful architecture, with old wooden doors, hallways and a layout that feels like a small castle. Super quiet and relaxing and on a sunny day the property looks incredible. Staff were friendly and spoke English too, which made things easy. Highly recommend if you want something historic and different

One of a kind, unique retreat to feel closer to the divine, whatever your beliefs. A journey through history, a lesson of the inevitable encounter of the Old and the New Worlds. Exquisite attention to detail and genuine care for their guests. Attentive, discreet, efficient, their staff is superb. And how not not mention their swimming pool, a little piece or paradise in that monastical retreat. Rafael's lessons in history, Azahara's lessons in outstanding service, I only wish I could remrmber the names of each and everyone of those who went well beyond their call of duty to make and unforgettable experience during our stay. Mia and I promised in matrimony in that holy shrine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Très bien situé, restaurant à proximité. Le personnel est accueillant. Lit confortable avec chant d’oiseaux au réveil. Le début de la saison pour la piscine débute le 30 avril, dommage. J’aurais aimé me prélasser au soleil au bord de la piscine fonctionnelle

Eine sehr stilvolle Anlage, ein außerordentlich gutes und liebevoll gestaltetes Frühstücksbuffet. Besonders die selbstgemachte Orangenmarmelade ist erwähnenswert.
