You can't fault the location in terms of views and the hotel is clean and bright. The restaurant took advantage of the views and was well organised with a plentiful supply at breakfast time, and the staff were polite and efficient.

Host was nice and provided all the details that we needed; The house is close to Aracena by car and it was easy to visit the town and enjoy food at local restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and the rooms were cozy.

Loved that all the buildings were white washed and of uniform size. No carbuncles. Only spoilt by a massive Barcelo Hotel dominating one of the hills. The person allowing it to be built there should be shot or at least give his back-hander back.....
It is a must to visit the Caves and the Castle/Church. Entrance price very reasonable.
A lot to choose from when deciding where to eat.
A lot of places however were very unfriendly to you if you had dogs with you.

Great little town.
Great little town. Famous caves are well worth a visit plus the Castillo. Lots of excellent Restaurants/Bars. The surrounding countryside is the main reason we visited the area and we were not disappointed. Did two amazing hikes, fantastic!

I visited in the first week in March.
I visited in the first week in March. It was colder than I expected (daytime highs of 11-16C). I was primarily interested in hiking and booked a rental car. Aracena is close to all the hikes in my guidebook so I only encountered the town itself in the evening getting groceries and finding restaurants. As always with Spain, it's so frustrating that no restaurants open until 8.30pm, some have "days off" which are not announced and many, even in March, were entirely closed. One really needs a local to help navigate where to eat. Having said that, it's incredible value for money. Dinner with wine for 20 Euros (March 2024).

Aracena was a cute town with a lot of surprises. The people are friendly and the town is clean and safe. Be sure to visit the Gruta de la Maravillas, a network of caves with wonderful stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Also, the pork in Aracena is to die for. It's the land of Jabugo, the best dried ham in the world.

Although the apartment looked to be placed far away, it was close to the center by walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and friendly as well. We would have liked to stay much longer than expected, we spent only a night there though.

Beautiful town in the mountains, cobbled streets and white buildings. Great views from the castle on the hill. Famous for the Gruta de las Maravillas which are definitely worth visiting. Great walks in rhe surrounding hills, through cork forests. Really friendly and helpful locals . It was great to try out our Spanish .

This is a magnificently and tastefully renovated historical Convent that offers very private and well-appointed rooms. My wife and I had a wonderful overnight there and enjoyed a nice dinner under the stars at the restaurant. Walking around the hotel and enjoying all the various aspects of the building was very pleasant. I would highly recommend Hotel Convento.
An oasis of tranquility yet in a great town
