The hacienda is beautiful but the lady owning it is as rude as you can imagine. We made a reservation 2 months before our stay and as we got there, she was on the phone and stayed on the phone for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then, as we were going to get our room with one double bed a... More

It is just a wonderful place, peace and silence, and you feel like coming home. For us it has been a very fascinating place so we decided to marry at the Hacienda Santiscal! Everything has been perfect! Thanks again for the great organization and the effort you put in all you have done for us and our wedding. More

We booked this hotel as part of a tour of Spain, and it was unfortunately the most disappointing hotel of all. Sad because the hotel itself is the most beautiful building, sympathetically restored and with a stunning setting next to the Embalse. Our room too was gorgeous, a "junior suite" with antique wooden furniture and a pretty white bathroom. However,... More

This is a wonderful building and once would have stood in wonderful countryside, unfortunately it is now surrounded on two sides by a creeping urbanization and its associated detritus.

There is a small lawn with a small pool (not heated). The co-owner was proud to show us around the facilities and when I mentioned taking a dip ( mad I know... More

I bet this was great place at one time...but it's on its way out now.. The views are still gorgeous and the building is still something to savour, but there's a lot lacking. Billed as a 'get-away-from-it-all' type of place.....that's true .....while you're in it... It feels isolated...but...the 'burbs' are almost on the doorstep and they are not overly-pretty. The...

The Hotel El Santiscal , a family residence, is exquisitely restored and a noble 15th-century house . This beautiful fortified building has magnificent views to the surrounding landscape only a few kilometers away from Arcos de la Frontera. We enjoyed our stay very much and service was very friendly More

This looks like a stunning remote villa but in reality its on the edge of town and close to a new housing estate so sadly you get no sense of being on the back roads. The accomodation is very good and full of character and the staff are very helpful. It is an excellent place to have genuine peace and... More
