“We just ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent, the place was exquisite and the service was great. They are fantastic with my toddler, one of the servers is knowledgeable how to handle toddler boredom and tantrums . They also allow us to explore the hotel after eating in the restaurant.”

“We had a wonderful 3 days stay June, everything was perfect. The room, the breakfast, the swimming pool and to be especially highlighted the kindness and customer orientation of the whole staff. The restaurant was excellent, and the visit of the impressive wine cellar with the old Ficus tree is a must. Villa Retiro is also well located to visit the surroundings.”

“Beautiful oasis within the Catalán countryside. Personnel was focused on creating an excellent experience, providing unexpected complimentary services outside of the usual as well. We also took the chance to enjoy the restaurant twice, and boy was that an experience, especially the homage to the delights of the area.”

“It is an ESSENTIAL experience to eat or dine in its restaurant and stay overnight in any of its rooms, especially the Imperial Suite. Excellent management, with Domingo Bascos at the helm. Excellent Restaurant with Fernando as master of ceremonies. Unbeatable. A team with a well-deserved Michelin Star. Excellent Fátima the physio who restores back and limbs with her hands. The cult for details is reflected in the rooms and in the treatment that the visitor receives. As if this were not enough, the rate they apply is very reasonable. Highly highly recommended.”

“Loved this place. Unfortunately the kitchen is closed on Mondays and there’s not much going on around there to eat. But they’ve just built a set of garden suites and the main house is beautiful restored. It has a grotto.”
