Hotel Masia la Palma

The place is absolutely beautiful. An old countryside house turned into a luxury hotel by a river, surrounded by fields and forests. Big swimming pool, spa (extra charge), beautiful garden, peaceful area. Good massages (extra charge). A perfect place to relax for couples. To be improved: the bed is big yet very uncomfortable and noisy; it takes a lot of time for the hot water to run, which is a huge waste especially in times of drought. In spite of quite high pricing the wine and the bread served within the "menu" are of poor, industrial quality.

I found this hotel from searching reviews and thought it would be just what we were looking for. It is in the middle of the countryside, wheatfields, sunflowers, sweetcorn growing all around and a river at the bottom of the garden. There was a beautiful well-behaved resident dog called Lucas who charmed all the guests. Our room was in the bungalow across the lawn away from the main farmhouse. It had its own little garden, very private, and a separate lounge area, full air conditioning and ceiling fan. Meals were taken in the patio outside the hotel and they were wonderful, aubergine tart for starters was a particular memory. Breakfast was comprehensive and tasty. The emphasis was on “ecological”. Ana and her staff were always kind and friendly. The gardens and pool area were well maintained and relaxing. We were given a bottle of cava to welcome us, wonderful, and excellent olive oil as a leaving gift. We stayed a week and had a holiday which entirely lived up to our expectations.
