El Privilegio de Tena

What a wonderful find and beautiful region. The family that own the hotel could not have been friendlier or more accommodating from the moment we arrived, Annafel greeted us and showed us to our room, which was in the adjoining annex. It was a lovely spacious suite with a rustic character and a large leather sofa. Steps led down to a sumptuous bathroom in the cellar, complete with a sauna and spa bath. As we arrived at the end of the season and were the only guests on the first night, the restaurant was closed but reopened for the following two nights, when more guests arrived. The food was regional and very well prepared, as was the breakfast that offered an excellent selection. A special mention has to be made of Antonio, hotel manger & son of the owners, he was so friendly, helpful and fluent in many languages, he give us advice on what to do in the area and arranged dinner for us on the first evening at a local bar. The only slight disappointment was we should have checked that being out of season and due to current regulations imposed due the drought, was that the spa was only available by pre-booking and took a few hours to prepare, so we did not manage to use it but it looked fabulous!
