Hotel Bodega El Moral

Tucked away Bodega The staff were very hospitable which was more similar to the customer service in the U.S. than in other parts of Spain. There were also friendly dogs that were sweet and it's in a very peaceful location. We tried a red wine from their vineyard and I had no complaints.

Surprise Surprise A wonderful surprise and 1st class welcome. Restaurant was excellent and the wine was superb. A dream stop over and wonderful experience.

Liked · The location, the staff, the room, the restaurant and the food were all fabulous. The Bodega is surrounded by fields of olives and grapes as far as the eye can see. The check-in staff were friendly and very helpful. The room and ensuite were both spacious and spotlessly clean with all the facilities that one would expect. Our dinner and breakfast exceeded all expectations and were cooked to perfection. So glad that we stayed here instead of a miserable corporate hotel. Can highly recommend the Hotel Bodega el Moral. Disliked · Nothing.

The hotel stands -proudly surveying the surrounding empty countryside from its slightly elevated position, justifying the dirt road drive. Although there is a magnificent property overlooking lawn, trees and swimming pool, the bedrooms are set around an adjoined inner courtyard the opposite side of the magnificent property. Rooms are quite small with little light, this being an old building with thick walls and smallish windows. Room was ok for sleeping in, but not much else. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was reasonably good. A loudspeaker placed in a restaurant window broadcast Anglo-American music from 1960s to 80s from around 6pm to create « ambiance ». Unfortunately this could be heard in the bedroom. The jewel for me, on a hot autumn day, was the lawn on the other side of the magnificent property, shaded by beautiful trees and backing onto the pool, a very pleasant place to read and dream. The pool, disappointingly, was covered with decomposed and decomposing leaf mould. I swam a few lengths, but it was not pleasant. As a result, this review should be for three or three and a half stars, but the employees, particularly the lady at dinner, were so charming that I couldn’t give only three stars, so four it has to be!
