We did the downhill walk into the Valley of the Nuns many years ago and always thought it would be amazing to stay in the hotel high up at the start of the walk. The views from the rooms over at thousand feet above the valley are amazing and it’s great to be up there as the sun sets and rises. The Reception staff are very friendly and check in was easy with parking outside. The room was clean with a large balcony and top marks for the shower. The noise from the young family next door rather spoiled the quiet surroundings and showed the walls were thin however. Being out of the season the restaurant was all but closed down and the food was nothing to rave about although the service was friendly. Breakfast again was fairly poor with no fresh juice and as the numbers staying weren’t great it seemed they didn’t feel the need to make an effort. Fried eggs under cooked and served on a cold plate. A kettle was provided in the room but enough for one drink only and no milk. Great if you want the views to yourself after the daytime tourist rush but not the relaxed environment with a bar and good food we’d hoped for.
