The hotel has several buildings all in andalusian style. This means lots of patios, where fountains are making a gentle sound. In the hot summer days places to relax in the shade and with the refreshing fountains. The rooms are also done in andalusian style. More about the room in the next tip.
The 105 rooms are all in andalusian style. They are in two different buildings. But these buildings have so many patios and alleys it looks like a lot more buildings. And when we first arrived i was sure i couln't find the way back to the reception. But we did... Our room had a cealing with broad dark beams. The window had metal bars in front of it. The door had a hatch, which you could open to see who was knocking on the door. The high bed in the middle of our room had 4 pilars towering up in the air as if to hold a roof. If someone knows why this is we would like to know too !
The breakfast buffet is the best we have seen yet. Everything you can possibly think of to eat for breakfast was on the buffet. Including smoked salmon and champagne. And if you couldn't find it there was also a possibility to order pancakes or omelettes and so on. On top of the great menu there was this great room the breakfast was in. It was painted like you were on a patio and could look out into the fields, with a city in the background far away.
The hotel is located in the Jewish Santa Cruz Quarter. It consists of a lot of buildings and there are a labyrinth of corriders, stairs and alleyways leading to the rooms. The first day I had a hard time finding my room and getting back to the reception. My room was small, but very nice. The hotell has a great atmosphere and a good location.
This is one the best hotels I've ever been in. Great looking interior, huge rooms, great service. When you're in it feels like you're a few centuries back in time. Must see.
