The restoration and attention to detail in this boutique property is outstanding. The five km drive from the highway up a somewhat rough gravel road is rewarded with the site of Casa de San Martin perched on a point, isolated in the Pyrenean foothills, with expansive views in all directions.

From the moment we arrived, being met by David, we were relaxed in this isolated location. David provided the history of the property as well as a full tour, and then left us to enjoy the many lounges and common areas, all adorned with books, flowers, antiques etc. The tasteful attention to detail has one always intrigued as to what one will notice next.

We had booked a Double Superior Room, but David provided us with a Double Special Room, which had its own balcony. We arrived to bathrobes adorned with rose petals - again the attention to detail. The room was beautiful, complete with rock walls. The balcony, enjoying the afternoon sun and the sunset, provided spectacular views.

There were a number of animals at Casa de San Martin, including a few geese, a couple of cats and a friendly Spanish Water Dog.

Given the location either come with supplies or enjoy the pre-set four-course meal. Quite reasonably priced at 35 euros the food was excellent, very well prepared and presented. My wife, a vegetarian was very well looked after. The service was impeccable - a most enjoyable meal. Breakfast too was very good.

Yes Casa de San Martin is pricey (226.80 euros for the Double Special Room). As mentioned in another review the drinks at the two self serve honour bars seem a bit pricey, although dinner did not. But if you enjoy a (very) rural setting, in a property with history, meticulously restored, with the opportunity to simply relax and experience an excellent meal then treat yourself to a night or two at Casa de San Martin. Thank you David.

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.

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.

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.
