Villa Sorro turned out to be one of our favorite places during a month-long drive around Spain. We found its location to be perfect – a simple 15 minute walk to the old town – close enough to be easily walkable, but far enough away to be a bit more quiet and peaceful.
We were trying to decide between the Maria Cristina and the Villa Sorro. While we had an excellent meal at Saigon at the Maria Cristina, after seeing both hotels, we are certain we made the correct choice.
Our room was luxurious, very well appointed, large, lovely and bright with a very comfortable king bed – the pillows could be better—with all non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar included in the rate. The bathroom had a separate shower and bath and was quite large.
There is free WiFi in each room and the onsite parking is free --- two big pluses with the rates some hotels in the bigger cities are getting these days. The continental breakfast, also included in the rate, was plentiful and the fruit was excellent.
There is also a small workout room and bikes which are available for guests’ use.
Our only negative comment would be that while the staff if very friendly and gracious, some were not as knowledgeable about the town, the restaurants, and other touristy kinds of details as they probably should be. But, there is a very good tourist information center right in the old town which can provide information on virtually anything you might need.
