  Shameful

  13 Feb 2026

  I visited this restaurant in February on a Thursday evening with my partner and some friends. Perhaps we were unlucky but it was overall a poor experience. The waiting staff were initially excellent but once the orders were taken and wine served they seemed to disappear. The wine was good but the food was sub- standard. My dish of "Carilleras" was tepid at one end freezing cold at the other - they did reheat it presumably in the microwave but serving a dish half ice-cold tells you all you need to know about the kitchen. The sauce was slipped on and had no vibrancy but rather just that Matt cap of colour when it has sat for a long time. We ordered some "Croquetas" which were also cold - didn't bother to return these as it was getting embarrassing. Given it was a Thursday perhaps they didn't have sufficient clientele to justify cooking fresh food but poorly defrosted dishes is the worst of all worlds. The Convent itself is beautiful and the interior of the restaurant is OK. There are some excellent restaurants in Aracena where you pay on average 20% to 30% prevent less that this one and eat much better. Serving up cold food in a "premium" restaurant is inexcusable. Not recommended.

  Massive disappointment.read other reviews before staying

  Hugely disappointed.BUYER BEWAREpalling… We were wronged, Location and utterly beautiful buildingIt’s a Spa Hotel .. That was the reason for the visit. However, the SPA WAS CLOSED! Others report the same disappointment/fraud.This is wrongful. They should have allowed us to cancel our stay. To promise something and subsequently withdraw it, is fraudulent. Wrongful.

  Get thee to a nunnery

  A very pleasant hotel set in the town of Aracena. The room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the castle. Bathroom was well appointed and stocked with toiletries, toothbrushes, combs and all necessary accroutrements.Breakfast was good, set up buffet style so plentiful and tasty.Dinner in the evening was also very good and staff were very attentive and helpful.I note that others have complained about the parking however, on arrival, it was clearly explained to us as to how to access the carpark ---- yes it might be a bit of an interesting drive but once done it is not a problem and we were in and out quite regularly. My advice would be to decant your luggage at reception, park the car then go back pick up luggage and make your way to your room ----- no big drama.

  Really comfortable rooms. Great bathroom. Lovely pool! Everything was great. Food truly excellent. One of our evening meals was really exceptional. The staff in reception were so helpful in sending on glasses that we left behind, they went to quite a bit of effort to send them on to us at another hotel in another region, very grateful for this as glasses are so expensive! We loved the atmosphere and the sitting room. The gardens were beautifully done, and the setting for the pool,was really very lovely. It was quiet there, lovely little town too. Enjoyed the caves and a vermouth in the main square!
