I visited in the first week in March. It was colder than I expected (daytime highs of 11-16C). I was primarily interested in hiking and booked a rental car. Aracena is close to all the hikes in my guidebook so I only encountered the town itself in the evening getting groceries and finding restaurants. As always with Spain, it's so frustrating that no restaurants open until 8.30pm, some have "days off" which are not announced and many, even in March, were entirely closed. One really needs a local to help navigate where to eat. Having said that, it's incredible value for money. Dinner with wine for 20 Euros (March 2024).

Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises.
Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises. The people are friendly and the town is clean and safe. Be sure to visit the Gruta de la Maravillas, a network of caves with wonderful stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Also, the pork in Aracena is to die for. It's the land of Jabugo, the best dried ham in the world.

Although the apartment looked to be placed far away, it was close to the center by walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and friendly as well. We would have liked to stay much longer than expected, we spent only a night there though.

Aracena is a picturesque town in a protected natural park setting. It is an excellent base for hiking and has numerous world class restaurants with most specializing in local ingredients including world famous Iberian pork products. Although people of Seville spent their leisure time here historically, it is only starting to get recognized in other parts of Spain and Europe. It is a true hidden gem and a must visit in Spain.

We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and could have asked for a more beautiful place to stay - the staff we friendly and attentive, the room was lovely and the bed’s comfy. The spa was an amazing experience and the treatments the best I have had. We will be back!
easy check in and check out. very very clean. breakfast was excellent. amenities were great! thank you Jonathan, Elena, and Ruth—front desk staff was knowledgeable, patient and kind. I don’t speak Spanish and they all were able to make the switch to English seamlessly. my husband and I look forward to another stay with our children to be able to have a romantic stay. the property was so quiet! I couldn’t hear people in the halls or in our room.
This former convent was charming and historic and cool in the unbearable heat. It is well located within this small town, with parking facilities, welcoming staff, quiet and visually pleasing exterior and cloisters. The room was spacious and clean, with an enormous very comfortable bed, and lovely bathing products. The swimming pool is clean with good shaded seating areas, a bar, and lovely surrounds. The buffet breakfast is delightful.
Comfortable and quiet.
It's located in Aracena, very beautiful town and surrounding area with forests and small towns.
We hiked a lot in the area and visited several towns. In the evening walking in the beautiful Aracena was a pleasure.
Our host, Isidora, was very kind, gave us a lot of informations and helped in many ways.
The internal garden gives a sense of peace and isolates from the city.
It was small but comfortable, the beds were good and the bathroom worked good for us everything was there what we needed. The property is very nice and quiet and safe. The location was good, right in centre and there was free street parking available. The bedroom and bathroom is on the second level.
Our host was exceptional: knowledgeable, attentive and exceedingly accommodating. He has transformed his beautiful family home into a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this property to anyone exploring the Sierra de Aracena area.
Large, well appointed room with lots of storage, great views of the town, comfortable bed and pillows, large bathroom with separate w.c. Breakfast options were great. Free motorcycle parking on level ground opposite the front doors.
Small hotel on the outskirts of a small village. Very clean. Nice swimming pool. Excellent food. Lovely room. Advantage if you can speak Spanish (Bring your
phrase book) Hey you are in Spain and this is the real deal.
The hotel is in the centre of town, and it is walkable to the most interesting sites. Very helpful reception staff and there is a locker room where you can leave your bags if you want to take a wander.
Best hotel in Aracena, the property is unique and well mantained.
The beds are extremely confortable.
Spa & breakfast were spot on.
One of the best hotel breakfast I had in Spain.
Beautiful quiet location but only a short drive (30 minutes walk along a fairly quiet road) to Aracena.
Good continental breakfast.
Friendly staff.
Good walking in the area.
