El Pontifical

Superbly renovated small family run hotel in charming village with panoramic views all round.

Quite difficult to negotiate tiny roads through the village, up to the summit, but certainly worth persevering for a rewarding stay.

The restaurant was lovely and the lunch menu excellent. However, there was a fiesta in the village when we arrived and the restaurant was closed in the evening, and for breakfast the following morning.

It was very difficult to find the hotel, partly because there was so much activity in the village due to the fiesta. The rooms were very dark, and rather small.

If you value personal service, a quiet and peaceful location to have a restful sleep, places with charm, and want to have freshly pressed orange juice and the best scrambled eggs of Madrid outskirts for breakfast, this spot is a must.

Some guests might rate this as a negative point (I did enjoy it, though). Santos de la Humosa has some narrow streets and corners, so come here only if you're a skilled driver!

A beautiful hotel a little gem hidden away, but within easy reach of amenities. A great stop off en route from Santander to Alicante. A lovely meal in a cool cave part of the restaurant provided such a relaxing atmosphere. We have used this lovely hotel before and will be happy to use again.

There was nothing to dislike about the hotel. Getting to the hotel though through narrow streets could be easier but the hotel makes it worth the effort.

Lovely, comfy and clean room with great shower and toilet en suite facilities. Air con was excellent, bed was comfy. Was made to feel very welcome and it was a sweet room.

Was very difficult to find, up very narrow and steep streets. I had to park lower down in the village and walk up the hill with all my stuff because it's very difficult to find the hotel and access by car, so I gave up and got out and walked! They should send you detailed instructions on how to find the hotel and where to park, so that you're not reliant on Google maps and bad signal!

We loved the room, spacious, super clean, the bed and pillows are so comfortable and the building its beautiful, the manager is super attentive, she makes you feel at home, the breakfast is great and the place is very quiet. This is the second year we are staying and for sure we will be back next year too.

Nothing.

Very nice small village just outside Madrid. Close to nature but also close to any shopping or services just 10 minutes away by car. The place looks actually like the pictures very confortable with good air-condition. Charming house and surroundings and good comfy bed.

Internet did work a bit so so... no terrace space to be able to sit outside without buying something in the restaurant.
