For the moment Hacienda el Santiscal is peaceful and an oasis away from the creeping holiday development along the edge of the lake. The views from our room were lovely. It's a beautiful courtyard Hacienda retaining a personal family feel. Lovely sitting room for relaxation. Beautiful flowering plants and trees surrounding the property. We stayed immediately after the DANA so the weather was not brilliant. Pool too chilly for us but it looks lovely when warmer. Lovely breakfasts and very helpful friendly staff.

The bed was not comfy for my back . Very hard. We thought we'd booked a twin bedroom (the photos showed it to be this) with sitting room. There was no way to make the bed softer it seemed. This has been our experience throughout Spain though in independent smaller hotels.

Lovely hotel in a quiet area. The pool was great, maybe could do with some umbrellas for shade. The greek lady at reception was lovely, very helpful and cheerful. Spotless hotel, quite old fashioned furniture, but we liked that.

A fridge in the room to put cold drinks in there. Towels for the pool area Its quite a walk to the local restaurant, and a few were closed Sunday’s and Monday’s. Leaving only 1 restaurant available if you didn’t have a car. We were there in June and its very very hot in this area of Andalucia.

Small family owned hacienda with beautiful rural views . Individually styled rooms - we shared a private staircase to two rooms with lovely seating area for four of us . Fridge with water very welcome ! Nice breakfast in conservatory style room overlooking small pool / all very lovely. No dinner provided as such - offer of cheese/ meats and wine to avoid travelling to Arcos for dinner - much appreciated . Central patio area with table and chairs nice for drinks / coffee

A beautiful hacienda situated on the outskirts of a town, with stunning views across the countryside. Very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by nature. All the staff were very kind and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome, and recieved plenty of helpful information about the places we could visit, and about the local area, including where we could birdwatch, which is our specific interest. There are also plenty of good restaurants and beautiful villages to visit. We thought the food we had at the hacienda was lovely, an excellent breakfast, and a lovely light supper.There is a lovely garden with a pool , with wonderful views of the countryside. We really enjoyed our stay, and were sad to leave.

It would of been nice to have a small fridge, and tea and coffee making facilities in our room.

Great location for relaxation. Beautiful quiet place. The garden with the pool was magical. There is a beautiful view from the garden. Even though there were guests, no one disturbed anyone. The staff was very pleasant. We didn't mind that he doesn't speak English very well. Ideal for relaxation, a place where you can hide and relax in silence.

Everything was lovely; the staff, friendly and helpful; the owner, eager to make us comfortable and happy. Great rooms, comfy beds, extra blankets. And fabulous food!

There is nothing to dislike!

Absolutely charming place with a beautiful view. Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and spoke good English. We loved it and will definitely come back :)

Nothing, all was perfect, although if you travel without a car it may be a bit tough to get there.

I had a wonderful room with terrace, it was quiet and relaxing and the sunset from the terrace was impressive - friendly service and a superb breakfast.

the pool area seems a bit to hot for me snd the pool itself a little bit too small.

Amazing place to stay, so peaceful and relaxing, we felt like home and gonna come back soon. Thank you so much for your friendly hospitality

it was in a lovely setting, peaceful and delightful. On arrival we were tired after a long day exploring the countryside and were able to have a cold dinner at the hacienda.

no problems.
