Realville Vacations from $961

We had a one night stay on a Saturday, expecting it to be an easy overnight stay. But on arrival we were advised the restaurant is closed on the weekends, so given it’s location in an industrial area finding dinner options close by was a problem. Also no fridge in the room, and their ice machine was broken although they did have cold water in the bar. Pool was nice, and the room good. Thankfully the air conditioning was working as it was 35deg. The property is rated 4 stars but it didn’t feel like it.

The hotel & grounds are beautiful. The swimming pool is positioned privately with views of the hotel & church. There’s lots of outside shaded seating areas in the garden with good bar service. The restaurant is excellent and good value for the standard with lots of ‘extras’. I’d recommend the wine pairing at €50 pp for 3 glasses, it’s worth it. The location with the castle backdrop is enchanting. Breakfast excellent too. The whole hotels is very dog friendly and there’s a individualised name welcome sign by the water bowl, no bed or treats provided but €20 per night isn’t bad for hotel standards. The service is exemplary throughout. The welcome feels personal, we were first timers but felt like we were loyal returning guests. The manager even remembered my dogs name the following day. We only stayed 1 night, 2 would be enough but with the service you receive I’d happily stay longer. Highly recommend!

Did use the spa. Breakfast average

It wasn’t a 4 star hotel experience. It can be seen like it from the way is advertised and looks on pic. The room was small, no proper mugs for coffee in the room just paper one ( no milk sachets provided either which with the amount of English tourists visiting ( drinking tea with milk ) is kind a strange). Cleaning issue in the bathroom especially around the edges of the shower. Room was not cleaned one day at all. Second day cleaned only partially ( bed was made but bin not emptied and dirty cups left on table not cleaned ). Staff were friendly but unfortunately not all of them speak English. Breakfast was good but poor selection of coffees ( no cappuccino or latte ) just basic one. You can definitely find better options for 4 star hotels in similar locations.

Hotel lovely and conveniently placed. Facilities at breakfast let it down. Insufficient plates, cups and cutlery available to self serve and tables not cleaned promptly enough. All in all a good hotel, but if this was sharpened up it would be superb.
