Areal

Fantastic magical place

The building, decorated with and choice of rooms to relax. The tennis court and swimming pool

There was nowhere to keep food fresh. Ordering Breakfast and other food was expensive, especially for a family. It was not great value and would deter us from coming again. Restaurants were a short drive away.

We had a truly fantastic stay at Hotel Areal. Nestled in the mountains, this little gem is an absolute oasis of peace and quiet. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the entire hotel is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pool area is awesome—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. A special mention must go to the owner (Rodrigo) whose local recommendations were excellent and helped us discover some amazing spots and restaurants in the area. This hotel feels like a home away from home, and every little detail has been thought of to ensure a perfect stay!

Nothing really! If anything…Perhaps a Nespresso machine for coffee lovers 🤗

The situation was great. Isolated and peaceful. A lovely swimming pool with lounger set in the spacious surrounds. The whole property was very tastefully furnished with great attention to detail. The public areas were large and comfortable. The grounds were well cared for and most attractive.

Due to our late booking we opted for a TRIPLE room for two of us. We had anticipated that we were going to somewhere special judging by the photographs and the price we paid (of our two weeks stay in five different accommodations in Galicia, this was the most expensive). The room was very badly planned with a corridor space with no table or desk and one chair. On what might be described as a mezzanine there was a large bed and two small lockers - a small built in wardrobe under the stairs in the corridor below - that was it as far as storage was concerned. Where a bed would have fitted for a third person in this limited space was beyond us! Working in this space was awkward as we were constantly up and downstairs. There was nowhere to sit down comfortably - it could not be described as decent accommodation for the price we paid. We didn't have much contact with the staff during our stay - we were met by a delightful young lady who booked us in. Unfortunately she could not speak English and we not Spanish - she phoned the owner and passed the phone to us - he was very pleasant and gave us some details about checking in and dowloaded further details which he sent by phone. Our balcony was the only place in our room where we could sit and have a glass of wine in the evening.
