El Castillo

We had a wonderful meal here with our three kids. The waiter was professional, friendly, and really knew his stuff, and the other servers were just as welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious: we had Iberian pork (hind), dorada, and venison stew. Our friend's child got the chicken and loved it, even though he's a very picky eater. Such a lovely restaurant.

The balcony views were a real bonus, and the rooms were simple, clean, and practical. I’ve been traveling around Andalusia for three weeks, and this is the best place I’ve stayed. Manuela was a great hostess, and the hotel food was good and had a local character. The historic setting, along with the charm, location, and hospitality, made for a stay I really enjoyed.

Ask what’s good that day and take their advice. The portions are generous, the food is fabulous, and the views across the plains of Andalucia are breathtaking. It’s a lovely family-run restaurant, and the vegetables and eggs come from their own garden.

The service was excellent, though there were only two of us there. The food, though, was a disaster, with lots of convenience products used. The moment that stuck with me was watching them heat the tea water in a microwave. I wouldn't recommend it, and would look for somewhere else.
