"Fantastic hotel in a historic building close to the centre of Aracena. Very nice pool and very nice internal and external areas to relax in the heat of the day. The onsite parking was a real bonus as the town’s streets are typically narrow. Plus there are several good restaurants and cafes near the town square."
