We've just spent a great three days in Requena staying at Hotel la Villa and had a fantastic time overall. The hotel is ideally situated being right on the central plaza of the historic town of Requea and an integral part of old town.
La Villa is a two star hotel and the accommodation and price in line with that rating but the service and friendly assistance is absolutely brilliant and in quality way above the hotel's rating.
We booked the hotel by email direct and Elena who handled all email communications with us and help us to arrange much of our touring of the local area was marvelous. She handled our changing needs from booking to leaving and was tremendous in supporting our every need.
During our stay we took breakfast at the hotel, which was simple and adequate, and had lunch and dinner which was good and served by a tremendously helpful and efficient waiter who had a wealth of local information and was only too happy to share this with us.
The hotel offer free WIFI internet access which worked perfectly all the time we were there which is not something that all hotels can boast.
During our stay we visited the the Cabriel national park and loved Casa Del Rio with it's working Noria, water wheel, and travelled through tens of tiny villages which are all dependant upon the fields of grapes and wine industry. We took a guided tour of the Torre Oria bodega, which was fascinating and made all the more interesting by our guide Maria who added her personal touches to the story. And before leaving we walked the documented tour of the historic town of Requena which is a must for anyone in the area.
We had a great short break in Requena and would highly recommend both the area and Hotel la Villa to anyone looking to stop in the area.
