Originally a 16th century convent for The Nuns of the Carmelitas order, this hotel rests in the old town of Baeza, a dreamlike place where time seems to stand still.

The hotel is in an historic building near the main square. It is close to restaurants and the UNESCO monuments. We were grateful for the secure and accessible parking on site at reasonable cost. There was an adequate breakfast buffet. The room was quiet, the bed was comfortable and we could control the room temperature. An electric kettle was provided.
Casona del Arco is in the historic Andalucian city of Baeza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It offers a small outdoor pool and spacious rooms with free Wi-Fi.

Most traveller's are European and drive there
We are from Canada and on public transport. The town doesn't actually have a fleet of Taxis so when we left to go to train station at LINARES- BAEZA 10 minutes away they were a little taken aback that we actually didn't have a car but they managed to call a cab from the next town. Our train left at noon and only bus of the day to train station was 5:30pm
Hotel Carmen Boutique is a four stars acommodation that blends a historical 19th-century building with contemporary minimalist design.

This hotel has everything you would exspect from a boutique hotel. The spacious and quite rooms are nicely decorated. The beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is served at your table: yoghurt, orange juice, a basket with toasts, croissants and local cakes, a plate with different cheeses and cold cuts (even some salmon!) and a plate with seasonal fruit pealed and sliced for your comfort. The staff is wecoming and friendly, but doesn't speak much English. It's a 7 minutes walk to the city center and there is a public car park nearby, which is very busy and often full though.
The hotel is housed in a Renaissance-Gothic building from the 16th century, and is one of the town´s most important and emblematic buildings, that was originally the Count and Countess' (Salcedos´

The host was very friendly, she picked us up from the bus station to show us the way. She awaited us with a snack as we arrived on holiy Friday and shops and restaurants were closed. There were several essentials in the kitchen like oil, salt, etc. The house has a fantastic view. We enjoyed very much our stay.

Perfect location to the old town. Easy to find and park on the street. Juan, the host, was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was full of helpful advice about where to eat, quick routes into town and places of interest. Five stars.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in to Baeza.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in to Baeza. We were there for two full days & soaked up all of the history whilst walking easily around the town. The staff in the information centre were extremely helpful as was the staff member in the Bullring.
Its a photographers paradise!
We had breakfast at the hotel but there are plenty of cafes to choose from to eat and drink. There is an amazing little cake shop / cafe / bar directly opposite the San Pablo church definitley worth a try! The first night we ate at La Barberia near to the cathedral. The staff were very informative and full of life and the food was delicious. Very relaxing.
The second night we had a reservation at Alejandrea but sadly they had to cancel due to staff illness. However we did have drinks and tapas earlier in the afternoon at this place, the service was excellent and the tapas were delicious even accommodating me being vegetarian.
There are plenty of lovely hotels close by to amenities and monuments.
Top tip wear comfortable walking shoes.

Baeza and Úbeda are worth visiting if you like small Spanish towns hidden in olive fields. Baeza is perfect for a 2-3 days vacation, do go and walk on Plazza de la Constitution and take a tour to visit olive oil factories. You need a car to visit nearby ( Puente del Obispo is 10 K away but a nice spot). Good and affordable restaurants in the city. Not recommended if you are on a wheelchair. DO NOT WEAR high heels because the streets are paved. Wear a hat in summer. On Sundays all shops are closed. Buy local olive oil at the store near office of tourism. Food wise go for meat rather than fish because this is the region's specialty and fish is probably 2 days old.

For a short stay we found Baeza exceptionally interesting. The historic centre is quite compact (which may be the reason that Taxis are almost non-existent), and there are several other places further out, within 15 minutes walk, including an ancient Bull Ring a convent and some more churches, very much worth a look. Do not miss the amazing view from the Mirador overlooking the vale of the Guadalquivir! Plenty of places to eat, drink, and snack at any time of day. Very helpful Tourist Office in the square near the cathedral.

A unique renaissance gem. Many historic and architecturally interesting buildings. Numerous good quality restaurants and bars. The Cafe Central Teatro is excellent for a good range of cocktails and an eclectic and striking atmosphere. Baeza is a very easy city to walk around in an hour or two. Thoroughly recommended.

A superb compact Medieval town with much influenced by Italian Rennaissance architecture. I wish we could have stayed another day longer!
Unfortunately we only had time to walk around for three ghours as we had to meet up in Madrid that evening and therefore no chance to taste the local fare!

While Baeza has a beautiful historic center, it also has a great "ruta de tapas", usually in February. We have visited specifically to enjoy the tapas at the great little bars in town many times.
This was the best equipped self catering flat we have ever stayed in. It was immaculately clean, the rooms were bright and spacious and we immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful and were quick to respond to messages.
We found the location ideal for visiting Jaen and Ubeda, as well as being very close to the historic centre of Baeza. Baeza has a lovely intimate feel.
This flat has everything you could need and really was a home from home.
It is such a beautifully decorated house with lovely pictures and ornaments. I loved the marble floors, marble staircase and marble en suite bathroom with a large corner bath. It has a tranquil garden, full of plants.
The location is perfect, on a quiet street with the most incredible view of the mountains from the end of the road. The house is very close to all
the historical places of interest in Baeza, but is also a good base for visiting other towns such as Ubeda and Jaen.
We would book it again if going back to Baeza. Really we liked many things:
- Excellent communication with the host.
- The cleanliness and the comfort of the bed.
- The large bathroom.
- Excellent location in the historical center of Baeza. Park your car close to puerta de Jaen, and forget about it while being in Baeza.
- Very nice details to make guest's life easier when arriving: bottle of water, milk, coffee, oil, salt, shower gel, iron, tampons and sanitary towels...
Baeza is a hidden jewel, and so is Hotel Baeza Monumental. I needed peace and quiet for a restful night and I got it. In a quiet side street right by the casco antiguo, it is also but a few steps away to a great morning and evening walk on the “murallas “. Lovely staff.
I shall return.
Really nice and helpful staff.
The room we recieved was wonderful: furnished and decorated with taste, large, comfortable and clean.
The swimming pool area is like a "little oasis" in the old city.
The hotel is perfectly located to access all the sites of interest of Baeza
Wonderful hotel with great staff. I had issues with the wifi which I needed to work and they went the extra mile to make sure that I could work from their hotel. The hotel is situated in a lovely town, there is always something to explore or just enjoy a walk.
Amazing apartment. It is the equivalent of a 5 star hotels. It is fully equipped with every need and wish . It was spotless clean and obviously loved and maintained by the owner. would 100% , we would stay again and recommend to everyone.
The hotel was absolutely a gem with the historical building itself, location next to Baeza Cathedral in the heart of old town. Service was very polite and helpful and breakfast was excellent. Beds were 10/10, couldnt ask for better beds.
Elegant hotel just outside of town (walking distance) with excellent views of orchards and the valley below. Very good breakfast, free parking with overflow across the street.
The father who owned the restaurant was super helpful. We didn't really meet any hotel personnel. The restaurant was great too. Fantastic location, close by street parking.
