What a gorgeous hotel in amazing surroundings.
I asked for a table on the terrace and thats what they gave me, stunning views, the service was exemplary.
The food........not far off fine dining, one of the best, if not the best meal I have ever had in Spain, top notch in every way.
It will now be a regular for us and has taken the position as our favourite restaurant.
Thanks Rich and Sue for mentioning it

Was it busy, John? Did you get a sense of many people staying there? - looks to be an ideal spot for a weekend getaway and no more expensive that a half decent hotel in Madrid!

It was very quiet
C. 12 other non residents having lunch and around 8 residents having a lighter lunch, quite a few cars in the car park though.....possibly staff.
We will definitely be having an "over nighter" when next out to sample the dinner menu

Nice to know the food is good. We are booked in for two nights in January.
John do you know if there is much around there as in near by towns or villages.

You arn't that far from the Guadalest and Les Fonts de L'Algar so dependent on where you have visited before there's quite a bit to see.
Enjoy

Terry Venables came to the hotel In the evening and spoke to all the guests. I even had him laughing when he asked me my views on football. I actually dislike the sport.
Hoping to go back in the summer.

The food was brilliant, the star course for me being a Beetroot risotto with roasted salmon and fennel..........I cook a lot of risottos, but after sampling this one today, one of the best I've ever had I need to go back to the classroom.
We turned left out of the hotel driveway and came home the long way round...........absolutely stunning scenery.

The food there is amazing. Could happily take the chef home. Looking forward to going back again, would love to see the grounds in the summer time.

It was only the second time we've been and when we walked in I said "we've got a lunch reservation in the name of Hannon"......the waiter quickly replied "we have a table for you John", which I found rather strange.
Terry appeared shortly after and thanked me for my reviews of our last visit, we had a laugh about how quickly I responded to his first week of January special offer!!
I'm pleased to say no mention of football, it's a subject I know nothing about
It was obvious from our chat that he's not just a figure head, he pays a lot of interest in the day to day running of the business

Glad you enjoyed your lunch.

Deal was also any pre dinner drink, any 3 course of a la carte menu which was superb, I had a massive rib eye steak and Jackie had salmon fillet, both had open ravioli with salmon, scallops and prawns as starter. Also included were a bottle of house wine, coffee and any liqueur you wanted.
Following day full breakfast included, we also made use of lovely indoor pool, a great day at a great price. They may Ben doing same deal into April but you need to be hungry to get through all food and drinks!!
