Lodgings in Utiel

Beautiful apartment- all new accommodations. Host was fantastic and showed us the old bodega underground the apartment. Very clean!!!

city-center location with free parking using the supermarket-parking lot across the street. the hostal is squeaky clean and basic like any hostal including hair-dryer and a portable heater. excellent value for 45 euro.

Everything was perfect for our requirements for a one night stopover We've given a lot of "Very Good" ratings lately and this gem of a place is superb in our opinion. We'll definitely be back there again.

Let’s start with the word rural in the name of the hotel. The good is a beautiful location in the vineyards of the Útiel Requena wine region. It is quiet and the setting is lovely a few miles outside of Útiel. The bodegas Nodus winery is right next door. The bad is that it is rural. Kind of rustic including two occasions where the water stopped running. I don’t think that is the fault of the hotel but it may come with the territory. We got off to a good start, our hostess Lorena kept in contact on WhatsApp and greeted us when we arrived. She spoke only Spanish but we were able to communicate with my limited Spanish skills. She arranged a wine tasting next door on the following day and scheduled us for dinner in their dining room. Dinner was excellent with good wine and huge portions. There was a French couple with their father also dining and staying. Lorena told us that they wouldn’t be serving dinner the next night but didn’t mention we wouldn’t see her again. In fact the French guests left after the tasting the next morning and we were literally the only people at the hotel. A woman appeared to fix our breakfast but otherwise - nobody! It was certainly quiet and peaceful but a little weird. We struggled finding a spot for dinner in town the second night but eventually found a wonderful little pizza restaurant in Requena called Pizzeria Rodelu, highly recommended. When we were ready to leave I had to show the breakfast lady how to operate the credit card machine. I’m sure there are times when they are busier but if you want peace and quiet, nice grounds, great setting then it’s good. Remember it’s rural though.

The ambience is typically Spanish and the family atmosphere is fantastic, well worth the amount paid.

Perfect location with an amazing breakfast. House has been restored to an extremely high standard. Free tickets to visit the caves were a unexpected amazing experience.
