“Almost perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

Casa de San Martin is an amazing place. It might be the nicest place my wife and I have ever stayed. The building and rooms are beautiful and very well equipped.

One of the owners showed us around and told us the history of the place. It once belonged to the Abbot of San Victorian, the oldest monastery in Spain. My recollection is that one part of the B&B was originally a chapel and it's now the bar.

We had paid €150 for a Double Junior room but were upgraded at no charge to a Double Superior room which normally goes for at least €30 more than the Junior. The bedroom was very large and comfortable and had a balcony with a beautiful view. The bathroom was very large and well equipped.

We had expensive drinks in the honor (bottle of Ambar 1900 beer €3.80, Makers Mark €6.50, small Vichy water €2.50).

The location is fantastic. It's at the end of a ridge with great views of the surrounding valleys. We were treated to a fantastic sunset.

After the sunset we had a very good prix fix dinner for €35 each. We both ate beef fillet, zucchini soup and lentil salad. My wife had flan. I had fruit with mango sorbet.

We drank a bottle of Arnazas Crianza for €16.

Casa de San Martin offers a wonderful buffet breakfast. The only annoyance was someone in the dining room got agitated when my wife hit the wrong button on the coffee machine.

For what we paid, I expect the help to be more understanding or just make the coffee for the customers. Two employees where just sitting around chatting most of the time we were eating breakfast.

Before we left, we asked them to fix us a lunch to go. We should have asked what we would get and how much it would cost. We got two nothing special sandwiches for €9.50 each and a large bottle of Vichy water for €3.50.

We'd love to go back someday but we'd skip the expensive honor bar and lunch to go.

Room Tip: We stayed in a Double Superior room and it was fantastic. The bedroom was very large and comfortabl...

“Upmarket, unique and stunningly beautiful location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This an excellent hotel and a unique experience. It is pricey. The location is spectacular (on the top of a mountain), the hotel is wonderfully restored and the grounds are beautiful. It is a great place to relax. It is not too far from 2 Pyrennees national parks which are great for hiking and sightseeing. Mario can give you details. The breakfast was great but dinners are average. (alternatives are too far away because it is very isolated)_ look at Google Maps. This place is highly recommended to those who just want to relax and/or those who want exceptional hiking in the area (ie 40 kms away). This place was one of the hilights of our trip.

“A hidden gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010

It is not often that you find a place like this. Everything about it is perfect.!

We were greeted by Mario on our arrival and given a tour of the house, and what a beautiful house it is. It has been renovated very sympathetically, and to a very high standard. Our room was very comfortable, with stunning views from our balcony.

The food, (we ate breakfast and dinner on our 4 night stay), and all were delicious, using fresh local produce and presented very nicely. Wine was also very reasonably priced.

Mario and Andreas were very friendly, Mario was the perfect host and recommended us places to visit whilst staying with them. We visited the nearby village of Ainsa which was very pretty, we also walked for a few hrs in the National Park which was absolutely beautiful. It is so easy to do nothing at Casa de San Martin as there are many areas to sit, relax and take in the stunning scenery.

The only thing we would do differently when we return, would be to hire a small 4 x 4 car, as the drive up to Casa San Martin is a bit bumpy, but it is so worth the bumpy ride when you turn the corner and see the house in the distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and cannot praise Mario, his staff, Casa de San Martin and the surrounding areas enough! Looking forward to our next visit already.

“Unique and wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

We spent four nights at the beautiful and tranquil Casa de San Martin. The bane of booking hotels on the web is deceitful photos but in this case the pictures just do not do justice to this special place. The hotel itself is a calm and tasteful retreat which would be a great place to stay wherever it was located. In this spectacular setting, however, it is perfect. We were a little worried that the remote setting would be too much for us but on arriving we didn't want to go anywhere.

“So beautiful & memorable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed for 2 nights and it was a perfect Pyrenees trip (although one more night would have been better!)
The house and surrounding gardens are impeccable - such attention to detail.
Mario our host was so charming and helpful.
The atmosphere was tranquil and romantic.
Our room and bathroom were great - rustic elegance.
Dinner was very high quality and good value at 35 euro per head for 4 courses (wine excluded but they have a great regional wine list).
We spent our middle day walking in the Ordesa valley, a 20 min drive away from the house - we did the 4-5 hour walk and it was incredible.
Finally, it is the location of this hotel that is the most memorable thing - so remote and you feel like you are a million miles from anywhere.
We absolutely loved it.
