San Román de Escalante

location, quiet typical of this area

poor dining for dinner and around the pool service

An hidden gem in beautiful Spanish countryside. Fabulous property with incredible original art everywhere. Beautiful room, excellent breakfasts and very good dinner. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 3 nights on the last leg of our holiday and this hotel was a superb end to our holiday.

We cannot think of anything that could be better.

Perfect spot for anyone looking for few days breakaway in a peaceful place. The hotel is immersed in lush green. Nice swimming pool and a restaurant are a wonderful addition which make the stay super comfortable. Limited number of rooms allows for privacy even in high season. Staff are kind and competent, although not all speak English.

Bathroom facilities are functional but aged. Restaurant could alternated menu during the week, since it offers very limited choice of dishes. Garden is slightly rundown outside of the main walking areas.

The surroundings are idyllic, but weekends are probably best avoided - often hosting weddings. Our superior room was very comfortable. The pool was good, if a trifle cursi. Breakfasts (included) were good. Several restauarants in Escalante itself serve very reasonable lunches.

When we visited San Roman 20 years ago the restaurant also offered lunch (which was excellent), but it no longer does. The set dinner, which we tried twice, had a short menu but, given the quality of the hotel, was not overly expensive. The service, especially of accompanying drinks, was amateurish. Our room was adajcent to the hoteliers' standard - a machine whose sole function was apparently to generate noise and disturb sensitive ears. It wasn't quite loud enough to merit a complaint, however. The grandeur of San Roman was slightly faded - a threadbare bathrobe, for example.

Los dueños hacen que la experiencia en el hotel sea inolvidable. Dan un servicio impecable, esmerado y muy simpático. Cuidan cada detalle. El lugar es hermoso. La comida magnífica. Un lugar al que deseo regresar muchas veces más. Gracias Jose por tan bonita estancia!

Great accommodations a treat to stay at if you like traditional Spanish "Casona" facilities. Breakfast was good. Perfect for a romantic getaway.

wonderful place

Nice and pleasant country-style hotel. Rather big territory with direct accesst to forest. Very large rooms and freindly staff. Restaraunt is not the cheap one but it's within hotel teritory so it's veri convinient if you checked in late in the evening and do not wish to go somewhere by car. We enjoied staing there. Very quet. And there is a swimming pool.

Could not believe how beautiful the hotel was and that we were fortunate enough to have booked it. Our room was the largest we have stayed in.
