This little hotel is such a gem in the quaint little sleepy beach city of Avila. We stayed for our 21st wedding anniversary and loved it. Every part of it. All the extra little treats for guests throughout the day and how it felt like a little community. Your staff is so friendly too! The only complaint I have is that the only good lighting to put makeup on is in the bathroom and I’m only 5 feet tall and the mirrors are so high that I had to stand on my tippy toes to put makeup on haha. If we can lower it an inch or two, we’d be golden. It’s more of a “me” problem though, that’s why I didn’t deduct any stars. Thank you so much for the hospitality and all the extra little perks we received. We’ll definitely be back!

This is such a little gem. Quaint and charming Spanish decor. Only one half block to the beach. Free happy hour, coffee and pastries and late night pie with ice cream. Plus a complementary basket of goodies upon arrival. I could not recommend this place more. It’s adults only so very quiet and peaceful.

The Room was exceptional and cozy with a fireplace to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep, and I appreciated small touches like the gift basket we received from the onset. One of the highlights of my stay was amenities provided such as the cocktail hour and pie in the evening. And lest I forget the croissants in the morning, rivaled those from Paris! Overall, my experience at the hotel exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for romantic getaway. I’ll definitely be returning for my next trip!

Nice jacuzzi tub after a long day of driving. Breakfast is pretty sparse. Fireplace only works when set to 90 degrees so unless you want to be really hot you need to turn it off. Otherwise room was comfortable. Really appreciated the Noon check out time.
