Villafranca Montes de Oca Holidays from £258

Quiet rural historic family home with inn.

Absolutely superb, would definitely recommend.

Set in an old palace, very atmospheric. Room was clean and bed comfortable with a good breakfast choice. Only negatives were less than helpful check and bathroom waste drain that was not draining well.

Hotel Recoletos was perfectly situated to access every area in Valladolid. It was on a quiet street with open views across a wide road and park. The hotel itself was spacious, very clean and very quiet. My room was very spacious with tea and coffee making facilities and free water was supplied, daily and kept cold in the minibar. The staff were extremely helpful and spoke both English and Spanish. A coffee machine with various coffee types were placed in the comfortable foyer area with to go cups so that you could fill a coffee and go walk-about. This was available until midday. Later water was provided with to-go cups too. The reception staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. I had a very comfortable 5 days there.

The window curtains do not keep the heat out in the morning. We were on a higher floor that received the morning sun, but the AC could not keep up with the heat coming in from the sun. The AC definitely worked later in the day, but the hotel needs to invest in black out curtains.
