What Guests Say About Their Stay

MANUEL

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!

My second time to Palma Del Rio and I stayed here for 4 nights on a business trip to the area. The note itself is beautiful, set in an old monastery and the grounds are great with a pool and garden. It’s set pretty much on the centre of town with an easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The hotel doesn’t open their bar or restaurant (which includes breakfast, I don’t think they state this in their description but they should) until weekends but there was a fridge in my room so I could buy food from the local supermarket nearby or you can go to the little cafes/restaurants nearby. The parking is on the street outside. Staff were friendly.

Historic property, built in the 15th century as a monastery. Has been beautifully renovated and converted into a charming hotel. Has a couple of pleasant courtyards with nicely tended plants. Food was delicious. Our room had a gorgeous vaulted ceiling with painted design. Would definitely stay there again.

A beautiful historic monastery in a great location. Palma del Rio is a central location for visits to Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada. Palma also has its own attractions and charm . We were there for Holy Week, and the processions of Palma were moving. Monasterio San Francisco is attached to a church, and the processions on many nights ended at that church, so from our room we were able to see many different penitents marching solemnly behind the carried sculptures of Jesus and Mary. Palma also has a wonderful palace of its own, Portocarrero, which is well worth a visit (must be arranged with a phone call first). Overall, we had a great stay (two adults and one child).

I have read with interest other reviews about this hotel and some aspects of the accommodation being lacking ( yes - there are only six sun beds..) . My thoughts are if you want four or five star service you'd better head to the Hilton. On the other hand if you want a stopover in a truly atmospheric old Spanish building loaded with history and with unique charm then this is for you. One day a "boutique" hotel chain will buy this wonderful property and you won't be able to afford to stay.

What an unexpected surprise. A historic piece of Spain adapted for the modern tourist while maintaining all the mystery and stark charm of a monastery that was the home of 500 monks at its peak. Long corridors with nooks and cranies that lead the guests to their adequately furnished, and well heated, large cell ; we visited over wet and chilly days in March,. To dine in the former monks refectory with the walls hung with tapesteries and paintings beneath a wooden beamed ceiling, prepared diners for what was a splendid supper offering a range of Spanish specialities and local dishes. The courtyards and large vegetable garden encourage the visitor to explore the estate. A place to revisit.
