Excel.lent hotel rural. Un oasis enmig de Teruel

Melanie Grace Espanya

Spacious apartments in a rural setting, yet backed by a little village with a restaurant just a 3-minute walk away. José was an attentive yet not intrusive host, always ready to help. We had a private entrance to our two apartments, so all was very quiet and intimate. One apartment had a balcony and the other a jacuzzi, surrounded by romantic details.

When I visited, I found it exceptional. I was welcomed by Carmen whose hotel it is. The hotel is a converted Spanish building in a small village. The rooms are just stunning. Each room is named after a city and she gave me “Paris“. The interior decor is fabulous. Everything you could possibly imagine was there, even including a Jacuzzi. It was early March and cold, but she showed me three separate means of heating the room although I didn’t need any. This is the real Spain, and ideally you will have to speak some Spanish. I have no Spanish but Carmen has enough English to communicate very adequately. She is Romanian via Italy to Spain and tells me that she designed the whole hotel herself because “I love drawing “. She served me a wonderful breakfast after asking “what would you like?” I suggested fried eggs and bacon And they came beautifully presented. She would have been very happy to provide anything else. The hotel does not serve dinner - and of course it’s a very small village- but Carmen took me by the arm, sheltering under an umbrella from the rain as we walked a short distance to the local restaurant / pub. Again, I felt embarrassed not speaking Spanish , but I coped and obtained a super pizza and a beer. Returning to the hotel, I had one of the best night sleep for a long while. You really do feel that you are part of their family. The village story and location is quite fascinating . There are only about 100 – elderly – residents and declining. The village is traditional Spanish with amazing views out across the plains to the mountains in the distance. It does take some travelling to reach it, but this is its charm. (An idea of how remote it is, is that the five children in the village will soon be taken to main school which is a two hour bus ride away – each way). I found it on Booking.com as I was exploring a route by car from Algeciras through to Barcelona crossing as much country and mountains as I could.
