Find hotels near Castle of Matrera, Villamartin from $42

"Hotel El Convento is one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and charming hotels in Spain. It is a great value for the money. We loved the view from our balcony, and the friendly and accommodating staff. And you might run into Rick Steves if you stay there; he has a room dedicated to him in the hotel!"

"A nice relaxing stop over with great views. "

"We stayed at the villa in early April when the wildflowers were out in force and everything was green. The views from the villa are absolutely amazing and there are several outdoor sitting spaces to take advantage of this. Inside there are 2 huge picture windows that frame the beautiful landscape. The kitchen is huge and well equipped to serve large groups. The "great hall" (which is the only way I can think of it) has a fantastic fireplace and plenty of seating, plus a dining table. The couches and chairs are comfortable. The bedrooms are all ensuite, which was a luxury, with comfortable beds and AC/heating in each. The location is perfect, close to the restaurants and shops in Puerto Serrano and within an easy drive of Seville, Jerez, Cadiz, Ronda, Arcos de la Frontera, Olvera and more. Puerto Serrano is also the start of the "Green Way" (Via Verde), a bike and hiking path that was lovely. I'll mention that some rural houses in Spain have sewer systems that cannot handle flushing toilet paper - this is one such house (you dispose of your TP in a garbage can in each bathroom). I agonized over whether to give the villa 4 or 5 stars because I truly loved the house, the location, and the outdoor spaces, but there were several minor maintenance issues in the house (bidet and a toilet not working, light bulbs burnt out, etc) that we felt should have been caught before we arrived (and I'm sure will be quickly fixed). I'm still thrilled to have rented this villa!"

"Administración fabulosa"

"Excellent, isolated location to disconnect from fast life. Recommend eat there as nearby places to eat are far away. Food T location is excellent. "

"The room was extremely comfortable and the staff were excellent! "

"Very quaint hotel - all the main sites in Arcos are easily walkable within a few minutes from the hotel. Some of the finishes are a bit dated - I think it's perhaps more of a 2-star hotel and even the plaque on the outside of the hotel only has 1 star but, as I understand it, the Spanish hotel rating system is undergoing updates. The room we got definitely had a different feel than the ones pictured online (again, more dated) but nevertheless it was comfortable and did the job for our one-night stay. The shared spaces are lovely, including the rooftop patio. The staff were friendly and helpful. Note that there is no parking but the front desk staff kindly advised us that on streets where the curb and lines are painted blue, street parking within these marked areas is free. On a complete fluke (we were lost trying to find paid parking, lol), we were able to find blue-marked areas on Av. Miguel Mancheño, an approx. 5-minute walk from the hotel. "

"Very nice place and sweet town, the highlight is its proximity to lovely walking paths. Great place to chill. "

"Amazing hotel located on the hill with fantastic view to the lake. Room was comfortable and we liked cosmetics which are given in hotel. Breakfast was also good. Free parking area is not spacy"
